Sarah Jessica Parker claims intelligence makes women sexy.

The Sex and the City actress insists looks and fashion sense have nothing to do with the way women are perceived and believes clever women are more attractive to the opposite sex.

She said: "It's confidence and brains - but I think confidence has a lot to do with it as there are lots of versions of sexy."

Parker - whose character Carrie Bradshaw is famed for her quirky dress sense - admires British supermodel Kate Moss because she dares to be different.

She said: "I love the way she looks. I think she has fantastic style and it seems uniquely her own."

Parker, 43, recently admitted she was devastated when she was voted the
World's Unsexiest Woman by Maxim magazine.

She said: "Do I have big boobs, Botox and big lips? No. Do I fit some ideals and standards of some men writing in a men's magazine? Maybe not. Am I really the unsexiest woman in the world? Wow! It's kind of shocking."
