Actress and style icon Sarah Jessica Parker has taken some major heat over the years for some of her fashion choices, including her most talked-about Met Gala looks. But in a recent interview with Vogue, she took the opportunity to gracefully clap back at outfit haters.

"It's just a thing," she said, talking about how the center of the controversy is really just clothing. "It's just an outfit that happened because that person liked it. So what's the point of the criticism?"

Parker went through some of her most iconic looks during the interview in a mini retrospective of her life in the public eye.

"This was Prada," she said, looking over a two-piece red-carpet look from the 2001 SAG awards. "You get to borrow something you like, you think it speaks to you at a moment, in a place, in a time, for an event. And you wear it. And maybe some people think you don't look amazing, and that's certainly their right."

She also went into some of the iconic looks from her time on "Sex and the City" and "And Just Like That."

"I love this so much," Parker said about the wedding dress her "Sex and the City" character, Carrie Bradshaw, wore to marry Mr. Big. "It's been made clear to me that not everybody felt the same way about this dress, which maybe makes me feel even more affection for it."

And of her own everyday style, the actress said, "I like wearing whatever I like, and I tend to not worry too much about if it matches."

She admired an outfit she put together to go to work at her SJP shoe store in Manhattan's Seaport District. The look featured two separate thrifted pieces, and she mentioned how vintage shopping has always been a part of her life.

"We all walk out the door every single day. Most of us try to make a choice that makes us feel good or like ourselves or appropriate for where we're going or who we're going to be with," Parker said, speaking to the general culture of criticizing someone's outfit.

She continued: "We don't walk up to each other and say things like, 'Ugh, awful.' So what's so funny to me about this is, like, how much chatter it provokes."
