Jessica Szohr found a role model in Sarah Jessica Parker while shooting the comedy I Don’t Know How She Does It.
“She’s so wonderful and so sweet,” the former Gossip Girl star, 26, tells me at DKNY’s Sunglass Soiree held at The Beach at The Dream Downtown. “To see someone who’s a mom and travels and is a fashion icon and a wonderful wife, to see how she keeps it all together, and still has a huge smile on her face, and is just so genuine … it was very inspiring and awesome.”
She continues, “It’s ironic because it’s like the character she plays – a woman who has a full-time job, as a mom, as a wife, and a profession – to see her do that, and play this role, was neat.”
Although Jessica didn’t meet her twins Loretta and Tabitha, now 2, during the two times their paths crossed on set, Sarah Jessica showed her photos.
“She talks about them all the time,” she says. “They have an amazing family.”

Exciting news! Jess has been cast in yet another movie this year, this time around the Sarah Jessica Parker dramedy, ‘I Don’t Know How She Does it’.
EXCLUSIVE: Jessica Szohr has been spotted by paparazzi hanging out with Aaron Rodgers. But it’s someone a little less football-y Szohr will soon be spending time with in front of a camera.
Szohr The actress who came to fame on “Gossip Girl” is taking a part in “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” the Sarah Jessica Parker family dramedy that’s currently shooting in New York.
A representative for the Weinstein Co. production confirmed late Tuesday that Szohr was joining the cast as the nanny of Kate Reddy, the highflying businesswoman and mother of two played by Parker. The movie is based on Allison Pearson’s hit novel, is written by the scribe behind “The Devil Wears Prada” and is being directed by Douglas McGrath (“Infamous”). Szohr will begin shooting her part this week.
The move rounds out a cast that’s already pretty eclectic: Greg Kinnear plays Parker’s husband, Pierce Brosnan is the other man, Olivia Munn is Parker’s finance-world colleague and Christina Hendricks plays her friend.
The 25-year-old Szohr, known as the (mostly) sympathetic Vanessa on “Gossip Girl,” has been developing her big-screen career; she starred last summer as the good girl who keeps her limbs intact in “Piranha 3-D,” Alexandre Aja’s campy remake of the 1978 horror comedy.
