    Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw may have put Sarah Jessica Parker on the map as a style icon, but the Manolos and tutus that defined her covetable wardrobe didn't stop at the screen. The actress's off-camera look is just as fun-loving and fashion-forward as the NYC columnist she so famously played, often downright indistinguishable. Here, we took a look at all the times SJP dressed exactly like her fictional alter ego, and we couldn't help but wonder... is Sarah Jessica Parker actually just Carrie Bradshaw in real life?
