James posted a snap of him walking alongside his 15-year-old twin sisters Loretta and Tabitha as he headed into the ceremony.
He has previously worked as a full-time sales associate in 2023 to 2024 at NYC boutique Reiss.
In 2020 he also a server at Main Street Tavern in Amagansett, NY.
The superstar couple have previously said that they want their kids to find their own feet when it comes to their career and finances.
"You want for them to be pursuing things that are exciting and challenging and hard and gratifying,' Sarah said on E! News this week.
Sarah Jessica Parker, 59, fans say star 'hasn't aged a day' as she films And Just Like That in sheer dress
"And [we want them] to be able to ultimately take care of themselves, support themselves - emotionally, financially - and that they can be in the world and be a reliable person to themselves and to other people.
"And so we talk about work like that."
Sarah said she's "curious to see what they all do" but wants them to know that there is right way of doing things.
James has starred in films Days Ending in Y, Elsbeth (2024) and Lady in the Lake (2024).
In an Instagram post on September 9, 2021, Parker said she couldn't believe how time has flown and that her eldest was heading off to college.
'In the span of 7 days one crosses the threshold into his freshman year of college the other 2 into 7th grade.
'The house is different. We are different. They need us more. And far less. So many know.
'Gutted at the time passed. Passing. Exhilarated by the possibilities that await them.
'The love. The love. The love.'
Jessica and Matthew welcomed their two daughters, Tabitha and Marion, on June 22, 2009, via a surrogate.
She said she and her husband tried to have another child for years, but they had difficulty conceiving.
Surrogacy was the easiest and most realistic route for them to take, she said.
When they found out they were having twins, Parker said, 'We didn't expect it."
"I think after a certain amount of time, you tend to hold your hopes at bay a bit so as not to be disappointed."
'One really would have been thrilling and we would've felt incredibly lucky. And two was a comedy.'

Walking Dead fans only just realising what Andrew Lincoln's real name is – and ‘filthy meaning' behind it
Scroll to find out the REAL reason why Andrew changed his name ALL IN A NAME ALL IN A NAME Walking Dead fans only just realising what Andrew Lincoln's real name is – and 'filthy meaning' behind it Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WALKING Dead fans are only just realising what Andrew Lincoln's real name is - and the very 'filthy meaning' behind it. The much-loved British star, 51, was on the gory zombie show for eight years, before quitting in 2018. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Andrew Lincoln has a VERY different real name Credit: Getty 5 The actor is known for playing Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead Credit: AMC 5 The star launched to fame in the 90s show, This Life Credit: BBC But despite it being nearly seven years since he was on the blood thirsty US TV show, fans have only just found out that the actor's name isn't really Andrew Lincoln. In fact, the star, who played tough sheriff Rick Grimes on The Walking Dead, has a very different surname. The actor's real full birth name is Andrew James Clutterbuck. Andrew has previously revealed how he was told to ditch his family name by his first agent, because it made him "sound like a hobbit". But the revelations don't stop there, as according to fans his surname has a "filthy meaning" - although this is just a theory. Taking to Reddit to discuss, one fan said: "it means 's**t shoveler'. "His agent said changing it would greatly benefit his career and he was not wrong!" Another added: "I can see why he goes by Lincoln!" This one joked: "The name sounds like a hippogriffs name in Harry Potter - Buckbeak and Clutterbuck!" BECOMING A STAR Andrew got his first taste of fame as the hapless Edgar "Egg" in the BBC's smash hit This Life, in the mid-90s. Rick Grimes leaves The Walking Dead – but did he survive blowing up the crowd of walkers? The show - which was about about five twentysomethings trying to make it law - was a huge hit, and carried on for two series. This Life made stars out of its cast, which also included Pirates of the Caribbean actor, Jack Davenport. Speaking about playing Egg, Andrew previously told The Guardian: "I love him! "He was a sweet-natured guy and he spoke to a lot of people who had come out of university and were stuck in a rut and were re-evaluating what they wanted to do and believed in.' Andrew's role in This Life was enough to get him noticed, and he was subsequently snapped up by Channel 4 to lead the cast of Teachers. After four series on the show, he left and he got his big break in the movies when he starred in smash hit Christmas comedy, Love Actually in 2003. 5 Before The Walking Dead, Andrew was best known for starring in Channel 4's Teachers Credit: Channel 4 5 Andrew left The walking Dead in 2018 after eight years Credit: Handout WALKING DEAD FAME Fast-forward seven years later, and Hollywood called and in 2010 he reached a whole new audience on the American TV show, The Walking Dead. With his deep southern drawl, US fans were shocked at the time to learn Andrew was in fact British. During his eight year reign on the show his character, Georgia sheriff Rick, macheted, axed, gunned and spiked at least 150 zombies and quite a few humans. After quitting the show in 2018, he revealed he'd never actually seen an episode of The Walking Dead 'I haven't watched myself for 15 years, because I don't enjoy it," he told The Guardian at the time. "There's a lot of working parts that can change your performance in between you giving it and it going out. "I just realised I'd prefer to have my own imagination about what the story is.'

This might be the funniest TV show you'll ever see – and it's not Fawlty Towers
Last One Laughing, a series recently released on Amazon Prime, might be the funniest thing I've ever seen. The schtick, if you haven't seen it or its endless clips on Instagram, is simply this: ten comedians are stuck in a room for six hours, trying not to laugh. That's it. I mean, it can't be the funniest thing I've ever seen. I've seen Fawlty Towers. I've seen Some Like It Hot, Airplane! and Groundhog Day. I've seen Eddie Izzard doing live stand-up comedy in the 1990s, I've seen Dame Edna host a chat show. An anonymous media source of my acquaintance, often quoted in this column, is the funniest person I've ever met and he's not in this series – so how could it be? It's not painstakingly crafted; it's a studio show which covers a single day and is broken into six half-hour bits. And it's broadly improvised! How could any of that result in the funniest thing I've ever seen? And yet its bang-for-buck, laugh-per-minute rate seems unbetterable; I have laughed without cessation through every episode. And that's speaking as someone ageing, tired and sleep-deprived, juggling children and pets and National Insurance (which I really wasn't when I saw Eddie Izzard doing live stand-up comedy in the 1990s) with a global backdrop that is bleak and riddled with horror, and I'm still laughing without cessation through every episode. So it certainly feels like the funniest thing I've ever seen. I should make it clear: the comics assembled for the series aren't trying not to laugh as a collective. That would be too easy. They are in competition. If anyone chuckles, they're knocked out. So the job of the contestants is simultaneously to make each other laugh while remaining totally impassive themselves. It's a very, very funny idea for a programme. Even if the comedy bits weren't funny in themselves, the importance of their onlookers not laughing would immediately render them so. It brings a wave of the ghastly hilarity we feel when someone whispers a joke during a funeral, or passes you a secret cartoon of the maths teacher. It takes me back to my days at the Edinburgh Fringe (often in the company of some of the people who make this programme), when tickets for everything were about £3 so you could see ten shows a day, finding ourselves reasonably diverted by the comedy acts but only made helpless with painful, unconquerable merriment by amateur opera, or fiery political tub-thumping, or inexpert contemporary dance. The only thing in the world that's funnier than trying not to laugh, or watching someone else trying not to laugh, is someone who's genuinely unamused for reasons of disapproval. 'This is no laughing matter' is one of the funniest sentences in the English language. And that's why the cultural era we're living through, while no doubt the most puritanical and purse-lipped it's been for over a century, is also, in many ways, the funniest. With that in mind, the show is tremendously well cast. It's hosted by Jimmy Carr, the court jester of our age, who has survived attempted cancellation so often that his whole self is a counter-argument to 'This is no laughing matter'. He just stands and stands and stands for the principle that everything is. The contestants are perfect for the game in hand, including some (Daisy May Cooper, Richard Ayoade) whom you'd particularly credit with the ability to keep a straight face, and some (Bob Mortimer, Joe Wilkinson, Judi Love) who are so deeply, naturally hilarious that it's hard not to start giggling before they even speak. This makes for a magnificent tension as the competition gets underway. We see Bob Mortimer putting on a magic show, alive with patter and veils. Lou Sanders performs a piece of expressive mime with someone who may or may not be her mother. Rob Beckett explains the role of a proctologist ('Have you ever had a check up the bum?', he asks; 'A Czechoslovakian?' replies Bob Mortimer, puzzled). Each comedian in turn is obliged to sing Lovin' You by Minnie Riperton, with its high rippling falsetto – and all of it through the prism of fellow contestants twitching and fidgeting as they desperately try not to smile. And then, somehow, the funniest thing of all is Joe Wilkinson delivering an impromptu factual lecture on the 200th anniversary of the RNLI. We all know what it's like to try and quell a laugh that comes when it shouldn't. In a customs queue, just as you've been asked whether you packed your bag yourself. During a work meeting, as you're being told that everyone's being made redundant. In a school assembly, while a guest speaker describes the challenges of their disability. I don't think that comes from the bad part of us; quite the reverse, I think it's a physical reaction to an overdose of empathy. It requires full understanding of the gravity of the scenario; a sociopath wouldn't be tickled at all. It is the very confrontation with humanity that is, sometimes, our undoing. But this wonderful series has found a way to bottle that hilarious resource, the laugh-that-must-be-stifled, without having to lean on cruelty or bigotry or anything off-colour at all. It's not about 'saying the unsayable' or 'jokes you can't make any more'; in fact it demonstrates how the most powerful weapon in the comic armoury is simple silliness. Without spoilers, that is what must and does triumph in the end.

Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann announces exciting new Elvis Presley project - after his biopic was nominated for eight Oscars
Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann has announced an exciting new Elvis Presley project, three years after the release of his celebrated movie about the King of Rock. The Oscar-nominated director, 62, shared a post to social media on Friday revealing he would soon be screening a new Elvis Presley documentary, featuring never-before-seen footage of the late singer. 'During the making of ELVIS, we went on a search for rumoured unseen footage from the iconic 1970s concert films That's The Way It Is and Elvis on Tour,' Baz wrote. 'I had researchers go into the Warners Bros. film vaults buried in underground salt mines and, to the astonishment of all, we uncovered 68 boxes of film negative, as well as unseen 8mm footage.' Baz added he had spent two years putting the footage together and would soon be releasing it for fans. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'One of the great finds has been unheard recordings of Elvis talking about his life and his music. It was this that gave the inspiration for EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, which is not specifically a documentary, nor a concert film,' he wrote. 'As the journey of creating this film continues, I seriously can't wait to share it with you all!' The movie is set to be released later this year. His musical biopic of Elvis Presley grossed a massive US$288million (AU$449m) globally. Elvis became Australia's second biggest film opening ever when it was released in June 2022 - beaten only by The Great Gatsby, which was also directed by Baz. At the time, Hugh Jackman said newcomer Austin Butler 'crushes it' in his role as Elvis Presley. Butler's performance as the King of Rock 'n' Roll has already catapulted him to global fame. He was previously known for his small role opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Hugh concluded his review of Elvis by saying: 'I highly, highly recommend you all go out to see it.' It was nominated in eight Oscar categories at the 2023 Academy Awards, although did not win any. Baz's movies are highly regarded for blending a modern style with older music and aesthetics. It comes after the Gold Coast 'shack' Luhrmann and wife Catherine Martin rented while they were making Elvis sold for $5.72million. The couple have been living increasingly 'separate lives' in recent years, with the costume designer living in the Miami area home while the director worked in New York. Baz and Catherine have been married for 27 years and recently saw their own children Lilly, 20, and William, 18, move out of home. He rose to fame as the director of the Australian box office hit Strictly Ballroom in 1992. The filmmaker followed it up with more hits including Romeo + Juliet (1996) with Leonardo DiCaprio, Moulin Rouge! (2001) and Australia (2008) both with Nicole Kidman and The Great Gatsby (2013), which also featured DiCaprio.
