Sarah Jessica Parker is definitely one of the gutsiest celebrities on the red carpet.

Wearing one bold look after another, this trendsetter never fails to make the public buzz about her fashion choices. And that is true even if the buzz isn’t exactly in her favor.

At the amfAR Inspiration Gala, the Footloose actress opted for an ethereal floor-length gown from the Schiaparelli Spring 2014 collection.

The polka-dotted frock features draped sleeves and flowy chiffon fabric. While the dress itself is pretty, we think SJP failed in styling and thus ruined the dress.

The loose wavy hair and the baffling jewelry pieces totally distracted us from fully appreciating the charming dress. And the pair of black pointy shoes didn’t help!

If she had kept the styling very minimal and had maybe tied her hair in a bun, Matthew Broderick’s wife would have looked a lot better.
