New Role for SJP

First the Olsens, then Mrs. Beckham (did anyone see her on American Idol? What the heck was up with her hair?), and now SJP.

From the design atelier to executive suites, celebrities are joining the ranks of some of the most coveted designers in the business.

The latest is Sarah Jessica Parker. The “Sex and the City” star is joining Halston as president and chief creative officer, the company confirmed to WWD.

"As part of the arrangement, the actress will own an equity stake in the firm, joining a group that includes investors Harvey Weinstein and Tamara Mellon of Jimmy Choo. She will also have a seat on the Halston board alongside Weinstein and chief executive officer Bonnie Takhar. The unique arrangement will give her an integral role in shaping the strategic direction of the iconic brand — and could change the way celebrities look at future fashion deals."

Halston + SJP = WINNER!
