Sarah Jessica Parker can lay claim to another fashion first, having been chosen as the voice of the first ever audio guide accompany a Costume Institute exhibition at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The Sex and the City star has recorded a guide to Costume: The Art of Dress, which will be available to direct visitors around some 20 exhibits - including historical costumes and relevant paintings and sculptures from the museum's permanent collection - from November 25.
"Looking beyond our encyclopedic collection of costume to the museum's other treasures puts clothing into a historical context," the Costume Institute's curator-in-charge, Harold Koda, tells WWD. "Walking through the galleries listening to Sarah Jessica Parker's narration will bring a sense of discovery and delight to the experience."
