Give Sarah Jessica Parker credit: she's a brave woman. With impressive balancing skills.

The actress somehow wore the following hat to the London premiere of the Sex and the City movie, one designed by Philip Treacy:

And how did the fashion designer come up with this creation?

"Well, his mother kept chickens and geese, so he loves feathers and manipulating feathers," Treacy's spokeswoman Nina Farnell-Watson said.

Reportedly, Parker tried on some different hat shapes and "found the one she loved," said Farnell-Watson. Treacy then worked for two days straight and "very late into the night" trimming it with peacock feathers. Naturally.

Farnell-Watson admits that it was "quite brave" of Parker to don the accessory, adding that "the hat is such a quintessentially English idea, but it was done in such a Carrie Bradshaw way."
