What a transformation! Sarah Jessica Parker is back to her stylish best in a dotty dress after pairing high-heeled boots with tracksuit pants

Does Sarah Jessica Parker have a fairy godmother waiting in the wings?
The Sex And The City star transformed into the belle of the ball on Monday night after sporting a truly odd ensemble earlier in the day.
The 47-year-old looked bizarre in high-heeled black leather ankle boots paired with bright orange knee-length tracksuit pants as she left her apartment on Monday in New York City.

But fast-forward a few hours later, and the actress looked every inch the style maven that she is in a pretty polka-dot dress at a playwright event at the The National Arts Club in Manhattan.
SJP harkened back to her Carrie Bradshaw days in her black calf-length dress with white polka dots paired with playful bright pink pointy heels.
The mother-of-three wore a black-and-white cardigan over the frock, which sported ruffled panels on the skirt.

That's a change! But she was back to her stylish self at a playwright event in New York City that evening after wearing the bizarre outfit 

She wore her highlighted glossy blonde hair in perfectly styled waves over her shoulders and brought out her blue eyes with sophisticated smokey black eyeshadow.
The star was attending the 10th Annual Love 'N Courage Benefit For TNC's Emerging Playwrights Program in downtown Manhattan.
She attended the event with her husband Matthew Broderick, who looked dapper in a grey suit, checked shirt and a baby blue bow tie.
He topped of the scholarly look with brown suede shoes and black-rimmed reading glasses.
The couple smiled happily as they posed for the cameras at the event, which was celebrating the actor and playwright Charles Busch.

But Sarah Jessica's stylish appearance in the evening was a far cry from her strange get-up earlier in the day.
The blonde actress looked like she'd gotten dressed in the dark with the mismatched outfit.

The boots looked better suited for a night out or a business meeting, and certainly didn't make fashion sense with the slouchy workout pants.

She kept warm with a white sweater, puffy down coat and chunky grey beanie that sported an over-sized bobble on top.

She accessorised with a retro multi-coloured bag and dark sunglasses, hiding her famous blonde curls under the warm hat.

The actress appeared in a hurry, rushing over to a waiting car in front of her Manhattan home.

The active mother maintains an impressive schedule, balancing work and home. This year alone Sarah Jessica has already released one film and is set to star in two more.

Her current release is an animated feature, Escape from Planet Earth, co-starring Brendan Fraser and Jessica Alba.
