Sarah Jessica Parker Debuts Winged Iris Van Herpen Couture at NYCB Gala as Dancers Boycott Red Carpet

The gala highlighted Iris van Herpen’s collaboration on Jamar Roberts’s premiere, underscoring the fashion–ballet crossover at Lincoln Center.

Overview

  • Parker arrived at the New York City Ballet Fall Fashion Gala in an Iris van Herpen Fall 2025 haute couture gown featuring dramatic, floor-length wing-like structures.
  • The voluminous wings made side-by-side photos difficult with her husband, Matthew Broderick, and she completed the look with Aquazzura peep-toe heels.
  • Iris van Herpen also created the costumes for Jamar Roberts’s new ballet, Foreseeable Future, which premiered during the program.
  • WWD reported that NYCB dancers skipped the red carpet and gala dinner over a lack of pay increases, citing the American Guild of Musical Artists.
  • Parker, a longtime NYCB vice chair who conceived the Fall Fashion Gala in 2012, continues to leverage the fundraiser to unite couture with new repertory.
