SEX and the City' star Sarah Jessica Parker will bring a big dose of Fifth Ave glamour to the Spring Racing Carnival.

The fashion plate best known as Carrie Bradshaw in the hit show was yesterday confirmed for Oaks Day at Flemington on November 3 as a guest of Crown, the Herald Sun reported.

Parker, who will be in Melbourne promoting her new film I Don't Know How She Does It, will be a guest at the track in the exclusive Crown marquee in the Elms enclosure.

"We are delighted to be welcoming Sarah Jessica Parker to Melbourne," Crown's general manager of public relations, Ann Peacock, said last night.

"Not only is she a highly respected award-winning actress and producer, she is also a wife, mother to three children, fashion designer and perfumer.

"Ms Parker is a ubiquitous New York fashion icon and her attendance at the Crown Oaks Day, traditionally ladies' day, will add to the international cache of the day."

Parker, 46, is one of the world's most influential fashion trendsetters, revered for her quirky, daring style.

Parker is the biggest name announced for the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

Also expected at Flemington during Cup Week are Shane Warne and Liz Hurley, tipped to be Cup Day guests in the Birdcage, and Hollywood diva Joan Collins, who has been confirmed for the Swisse marquee on Oaks Day.
