Heading out to buy a new pair of shoes did not mean that Sarah Jessica Parker had to wearing anything other than a pair of stunning womens sandals.

Spotted by Look magazine leaving a designer shoe shop in New York, the actress wore a pair of strappy high heeled sandals.

With a chunky heel and several straps running across the foot, the sandals were the height of style for this season and contrasted to dramatic effect with the floating material of the dress and scarf worn by the mum of three.

To replicate her style, try out the Bronx Ebody platform sandals, which come in a shade of dark brown and are embellished with metallic studs.

Team them up with the tribal prints and strong colours that are a hit on the high street this season, or imitate SJP by stylising them with something feminine to give a tougher look to the lady-like trend.
