Sarah Jessica Parker looked incredible in a black lacy midi dress for the New York City Charity Gala last night (21 October).

The And Just Like That actress is regularly seen on the red carpet in stand-out, colourful ensembles, but this time, Sarah opted for a beautiful monochrome look that felt sexy and demure in the best way.

Featuring a flattering low-cut neckline, which prominently showed off the star's décolleté area, the 59-year-old actress showed us why we should all embrace this neckline - whatever our age.

Good Housekeeping's Beauty Editor Fleur Fruzza shares with us why we need to take extra care of that delicate area and the must-have products you need to flaunt a low-cut neckline with confidence from now on.

She says: "Skin on the décolleté is thinner than elsewhere, so extra attention needs to be paid to it. This Trinny London formula has been developed with that in mind - packed with peptides and a magical-sounding Japanese plant extract that effectively 'glues' the epidermis and dermis together to reduce slackening of the skin. You can then layer L'Oréal Paris Lumi Glotion over the top if you want a glowy finish."

The neckline wasn't the only detail we loved, the figure-hugging belt and the matching sheer-lace shawl, made this outfit the perfect example of pared-back drama.

Our Fashion Director Amanda Marcantonio also reveals why sheer sleeves are a great way to embrace that sexy allure, without wearing something too revealing.

She says: "Boudoir black lace and sheer sleeves always look chic and are subtly suggestive without feeling too exposed. Revealing and concealing upper arms in see-through gauzy fabrics will add a playful peek-a-boo element to an all-black ensemble. I think it's the modern way do sexy this season.”

Also seen looking glamorous on the red carpet was her And Just Like That co-stars and former Sex and the City actresses' Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon too.
