Cynthia Nixon Hates Shopping for Clothes, Lets Her Partner Pick Them Out

She may have a flair for fashion as Miranda in "Sex and the City," but in real life, Cynthia Nixon could care less about Jimmy Choos and would rather let her partner choose.

"Christine is the clothes shopper," she says of fiancée Christine Marinoni in the June issue of The Advocate. "I hate it."

Together since 2004, Nixon is the first to admit that she and Marinoni couldn't look more different. "She's basically a short man with boobs," Nixon laughs to The Advocate.

And the women are especially opposite when it comes to their attire. "Christine doesn't wear women's clothes; she only wears men's clothes," Nixon told the New York Times Magazine.

"She won't even wear any kind of women's shoes. I bought her a pair of cowboy boots that were from the women's department, and she was like, 'Don't do this again.'"

Not surprisingly, 44-year-old Nixon is happy to let someone else play the role of wardrobe lady. "Fashion is just not my thing," she has said. "It's just not where my head is."

In other "Sex and the City" news, read how playing Carrie changed Sarah Jessica Parker's style.

For some reason even before I opened the article, I knew it was Cynthia Nixon.
