For her 1997 wedding to Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker wore a design by Morgane Le Fay: a black dress with a dramatic skirt. However, during a 2016 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she told host Andy Cohen that she actually regrets her choice.

“Oh, I wish it was because I was badass,” the Sex and the City actress said. “I just was too embarrassed to spend any time looking for a wedding dress. There was a store that I liked that I knew, and I just went and got whatever they had hanging.”

If she were to go back, the actress said she would definitely wear white instead.

“I’d wear a beautiful, proper wedding dress, like I should have worn that day,” she said.
