Sarah Jessica Parker is set to received the PEN Audible Literary Service Award at its 16th annual gala on Thursday, May 15.

Sarah Jessica Parker will be this year’s recipient of PEN America’s “Literary Service” award. The “Sex and the City” star, a longtime advocate for reading and literacy, will be honored May 15 at the free expression organization’s annual spring gala.

Throughout her years playing Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City and its various spin-offs, Sarah Jessica Parker has become synonymous with her character’s outlandish wardrobe. However, there was one outfit the Emmy winner was adamant that she didn’t want to wear.
