Christmas is coming! Hands on Sarah Jessica Parker decorates her New York home with tasteful evergreen boughs

She's a busy mother-of-three and often pulls together casual looks for afternoon outings with her twin girls. But Sarah Jessica Parker on Wednesday stepped up her style as she took little Marion and Tabitha for a walk in New York City after decorating their downtown brownstone. The actress was dressed in a striking purple fur coat, white cropped trousers and nude kitten heels as she took her daughters for a girls' day out.

Lopez, who has worked for Sarah since 2005, was travelling with the Sex And The City star to Norway to do her hair and make-up for her appearance at the annual Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo. She was not arrested or charged with any offence and the matter was apparently dealt with by means of a $1,400 on-the-spot fine. But the drama resulted in Parker and members of her entourage missing their flight and having to catch a later one.

Then, late last week, it was alleged that on the same trip a lipstick went missing after Lopez visited another shop. TMZ ran video footage, claiming it shows Leslie in the store before walking out of frame. The website claims the store in question has filed a police report into the matter upon realising the make-up item had gone missing.

The insider said: 'Leslie is a make-up artist and receives free make-up from companies all the time. She didn't steal and had no reason to.' On Thursday Lopez released a statement to MailOnline in relation to the sunglasses incident, insisting that she accidentally took a pair of designer shades with her as she left a shop in a rush.

She told MailOnline exclusively: 'I was purchasing items in a duty free shop early yesterday at the Oslo airport and mistakenly failed to remove a pair of sunglasses from my cart while rushing to the gate. 'While there have been no charges against me, I am sorry for any embarrassment this misunderstanding has caused.'
