Sarah Jessica Parker has also been the face of a clothing range

The actress, renowned for the innovative style which epitomised her TV character Carrie, launches her first fragrance with Coty Inc this autumn.

The name of the perfume and the exact scent are still being decided but Parker said it would be "fresh".

Meanwhile her former co-star Kristin Davis is set to appear in ABC pilot Soccer Moms.

The potential series would see Davis teaming up with another suburban housewife to become a private investigator, according to Hollywood Reporter.

Sarah Jessica Parker has previously fronted a UK advertising campaign for clothing company Gap.

Another of Parker's former Sex and the City co-stars Chris Noth, who played Mr Big, has also landed himself a new role.

He is to return permanently to hit series Law and Order 10 years after leaving the show, after a guest appearance at the weekend.
