Actress Sarah Jessica Parker joined countless bold-faced names at the annual MET Gala in New York City last night.

The “Sex and the City” actress walked the red carpet sporting what can only be described as a headdress.

#MetGala in three words: SARAH. JESSICA. PARKER. http://t.co/wM3Y0cq7vq pic.twitter.com/C9KMz0Sc6x

Almost as soon as photos of Parker appeared online, people began criticizing the actress, saying that the headdress invoked negative imagery and stereotypes towards Asians.

I'm sure people are already complaining that Sarah Jessica Parker's #MetGala headdress is racist, so let's not forgot that it's also ugly

Looks like Sarah Jessica Parker said to herself "nothing tastes as good as cultural appropriation feels!" #racist #MetBall

I'm going as the Siamese cats from Lady & the Tramp, which is somehow less racist than Sarah Jessica Parker's outfit. pic.twitter.com/gh1ObiZcQa
