Jennifer Lawrence is a polarizing figure.
People either love or hate her uninhibited personality and lack of filter.
The same goes for her red carpet attire.
Lawrence’s fashion-forward looks can land her on the best and worst-dressed lists concurrently.
Still, whatever your view, no doubt she loves to push the style envelope.
Then, there wasLawrence’s hilarious wardrobe malfunctionat the Dior Dreams at Saks show in March 2024.
Lesser mortals would be horrified by their belt popping off at an inopportune moment.
She just laughed it off.
J-Law takes fashion seriously, though, striving for tasteful sophistication.
“I think it’s an attitude.
It’s just being confident.
That’s elegant, and not trying too hard,” she toldWWDin September 2023 of her style aesthetic.
Still, she’s not beyond hitting the wrong note, that much is clear.
In fact, she’s made some pretty bad sartorial choices at times over the years.
That’s usually an actor’s dream but in this case?
Unfortunately, the media was focused on Lawrence’s style, not substance.
Hardly surprising, though, given the outfit she wore.
J-Law was fuming over the criticism.
But what really got her goat was the claim that event organizers forced her to ditch the layers.
“It was a fabulous dress.
I wasn’t going to cover it up in a f*****g coat.”
The actor’s longtime stylist, Kate Young, was responsible for the crime against couture.
“very matronly,” a commenteropined.
you don’t know how to execute," anothersniped.
The latter got their wish.
In 2023, Gomez upped her garment game by ditching Young and switching to Erin Walsh.
Lawrence followed suit soon after, firing Young and hiring her friend and neighbor, Jamie Mizrahi.
The stylist shift was applauded by the fashion glossies.
“Jennifer Lawrence has never looked better,“Voguegushed in July 2023.
“Is the 32-year-old actress currently in the midst of an effortlessly cool style renaissance?
“Cosmopolitanasked in June 2023.
The Tom & Lorenzo style queens were definitely not fans.
The actor was already on shaky style ground for choosing Kris Kardashian as a red carpet accessory.
But the see-through lace horror that showed off Lawrence’s granny panties totally buried her.
The dress is from Givenchy’s Haute Couture Fall 1996 collection.
At the height of her supermodel stardom, Kate Moss rocked it on the catwalk.
Sadly, the gown’s storied style history did nothing to impress the fashion police.
“The dress has ‘granny’ feel to it.
Definitely not the best, but not the worst either,” one officerdecreed.
“The bodice was wrong for her.
It didn’t do anything for to help her look good.
Maybe on someone else it would’ve looked better,” anotherdetermined.
“She looks like an old amish woman in a wedding dress,” a thirdruled.
