Sarah Jessica Parker's 5 best looks from the Met Gala red carpet

Whether she's wearing a prominent headpiece, lots of jewelry, or a statement-making dress, Parker finds inspiration in the theme of each year's exhibition.

"I am inspired by the themes," Parker told E! on the red carpet in 2018, according to Harper's Bazaar. "One can only do your best."

A representative for Parker confirmed to Insider that she won't be in attendance due to her work schedule. So, it's only fitting to take a look back at her top red-carpet moments from galas past.

She channeled the "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" theme with a mohawk-inspired headpiece and a gown that featured abstract strokes of color and a princess-like structure.

Parker wore white cropped pants with a matching bustier-like top that had sheer sleeves, and a button-up jacket. While the look mostly resembled a ready-to-wear outfit, the statement sleeves on Parker's top gave a couture feel to her ensemble. She finished the fashion moment with a pair of blue pumps that look like they were plucked from Carrie Bradshaw's closet.

The actress looked like a modern-day princess in a black-and-white, full-skirt gown, long white opera gloves, and a perfectly coiffed updo.

While her layered, party-dress-meets-kilt look was impressive in itself, the dress made more of an impact as it resembled McQueen's more traditional-looking kilt. Her footwear — a pair of strappy heeled sandals — also complemented McQueen's edgy, lace-up boots.

She walked the red carpet in a standout piece by Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda, which draws inspiration from the Renaissance, according to the fashion label's website.

The gilded gown featured red hearts, precious stones, and a massive train. The pièce de résistance of the Dolce look was a crown with a full nativity scene perched on top of Parker's head.
