At the Rome Film Festival, Jennifer Lawrence made a bold and stylish fashion choice by wearing a two-toned V-neck sweater and a light white skirt with layers. Her warm knit sweater was perfect for the cool fall evening, breaking the rules of the red carpet that say extravagant gowns and fancy outfits are the best. This outfit from Jonathan Anderson’s first women’s clothing line for Dior is different from the usual glamour. It has a nostalgic yet fresh Hollywood feel that makes you wonder if red carpet fashion can be more casual.
For the past 15 years, red carpets at glamorous events have mostly had elaborate gowns with sculptural headpieces and long trains. Sweaters are not very common. The Cannes Film Festival recently banned big gowns with long trains to make it easier for guests to get around, but not many people have followed the rule. Lawrence’s outfit is stylish but not too flashy, which is very different from the trend of big, bold dresses that are popular right now. It reminds me of the more laid-back red carpet styles of the 1990s.
Her look is part of a growing trend among celebrities, like Megan Stalter and Kristen Stewart, who are changing the way people dress on the red carpet by mixing comfort and personal style with classic elegance. Lawrence’s choice shows that sweaters can look good on the red carpet and maybe even bring back more relaxed, personal styles for big events.
