Actress Sarah Jessica Parker says her style is inspired by "women on the street".

The "Sex And The City" star's fashion sense was slammed last week after she was spotted wearing stirrup tights, but she didn't consider it to be a fashion faux pas.

"It's been so cold in New York that bare legs seemed almost undoable...So, I started wearing tights, then I saw a woman in Seattle wearing stirrups with a pump and thought, 'Maybe I'll start wearing them with a strap shoe'," contactmusic.com quoted Parker as saying.

"I am often inspired by women on the street whose names I'll never know," she added.

The 48-year-old fashion icon says she is unsure if the look will become a trend or not.

"I don't know if they'll catch on," Grazia magazine quoted her as saying.
