Sarah Jessica Parker Talks Aging, Twins

She may have gotten the elusive Mr. Big to commit, but even Sarah Jessica Parker can't beat the aging process. The Sex and the City star spoke about aging naturally, her twins and her job as a fashion designer at Halston in the latest issue of Elle.

"I don't know what I can do about the aging," she said. "Yes, I am aging. Oh my God, I'm aging all the time. It's like those flowers that wilt in front of you in time-lapse films. But what can I possibly do? Look like a lunatic?"

The actress also opened up about her family, including her husband of 13 years, Matthew Broderick, son James Wilke and twins Marion and Tabitha, who were delivered in June 2009 via surrogacy. Meeting them for the first time was surreal, she said. "I loved them immediately, but everything–their size, the shape of their heads, the color of their hair, their noses, their eyes–was new to me. They looked surprisingly different from James Wilke, which I wasn't expecting."

Parker became a fashion icon while playing Carrie Bradshaw, and her sartorial sense has helped tremendously in her new role as president and chief creative officer of Halston and Halston Heritage, a position she was reluctant to accept. "I kept saying, 'You understand, by offering this you are going to be criticized?' It took me a long time to say yes."

She also was the executive producer for the first season of Work of Art: The Next Great Artist on Bravo. –ISHITA SINGH
