She's known for her quirky dress sense and impeccable style so it should come as no surprise that Sarah Jessica Parker has started dressing her twins to match her outfits.

The fashion conscious actress opted for a pair of bright coloured tights when she stepped out of her New York apartment on Tuesday.

And the Sex and the City star dressed her daughters, Marion and Tabitha, in the same fun colour by decking them in matching blue rain coats.

The tights were a bold new look for the 46-year-old, who said earlier this week that she tries to 'dress appropriately' for her age now that she's in her mid-forties.

Sarah Jessica opted to try out the trend by brightening up an otherwise demure outfit as she headed off to promote her upcoming film, New Year's Eve on Live with Kelly.

The star recently spoke about her evolving fashion style.

She said: 'I try to dress appropriately for my age and I'm a realist about what I look like. But if those physical things were my insecurities I'd be thrilled. What wonderful problems.

'My insecurities are more substantial than that. I worry first and foremost about my children and their health. 

'My husband, and his. I worry about what work opportunities will come up. My own creative satisfaction. How will I pursue things and will the work be good?'
