Jennifer Lawrence recently voiced her fashion opinions in a conversation with Harper’s Bazaar, revealing her stance on changing trends like skinny jeans. On November 3, the 35-year-old actress explained her fashion preferences, embracing styles that feel more comfortable and practical for her lifestyle.
Rejecting skinny jeans, Lawrence stated,
“Skinny jeans are dead, which I’m happy about,”
expressing her relief at the move away from this popular style. She highlighted her preference for dresses layered over pants, adding,
“I don’t want somebody to be able to tell with absolute clarity the difference of size between my thigh and my ankle.”
Layering and Permanent Jewelry: New Staples in Lawrence’s Wardrobe
Lawrence described experimenting with layering, demonstrating this trend by wearing a brown cardigan over a matching sweater in late October. She called this combination “a sweater over a sweater,” signaling her embrace of layered looks. While she enjoys layering dresses over jeans and tops, she confirmed she has avoided layering skirts.
As a mother of two sons with her husband, Cooke Maroney, Lawrence emphasized the convenience of permanent jewelry.
“I’m in a phase where I’m wearing more permanent jewelry, as opposed to changing it,”
she said, noting her daily use of an ear cuff and anklets, which have become key accessories for her.
Influences from Everyday Life and Acting Roles
Lawrence draws fashion inspiration from the streets of New York City and the characters she portrays onscreen. She disclosed how her outfit choices often evolve unconsciously during filming, reflecting,
“It happens every time. It’s something that I seriously have to keep in control. I see it happening while I’m shooting, and then I look back at pictures and I’m like, ‘Who is that?’”
One particular character who impacted her style was Grace from the film Die My Love. Lawrence explained that playing Grace influenced her shift toward bright colors and casual, oversized clothing.
“I noticed when I started to dress like her,”
she admitted. However, she clarified that her iconic role as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games did not affect her personal wardrobe much. About Katniss’s signature braid, Lawrence remarked with humor,
“Although I can’t put my hair in a braid without being like, ‘Oh, you want somebody to bring up the movie?’”
Adopting New Hair Trends at Film Festivals
At the San Sebastian International Film Festival in September, Lawrence debuted a fresh hairstyle featuring wispy bangs. This new look framed her face with blonde hair cut just above her eyebrows and styled straight and sleek, while the rest of her hair fell smoothly around her shoulders. She paired the hairstyle with a glamorous makeup look crafted by Georgie Eisdell, which included long lashes, winged eyeliner, rosy cheeks, and pink lips.
For her appearance at the Die My Love screening, Lawrence wore an olive asymmetrical dress that featured one short sleeve and one long sleeve, a torso cutout, and a floor-length pleated skirt. She added silver statement earrings and a delicate ring, completing an elegant and modern ensemble. Her adoption of bangs follows a trend recently embraced by stars like Zoë Kravitz, Kourtney Kardashian, Katie Thurston, Leighton Meester, and Kristen Stewart.
Fashion Evolution Reflects Personal Growth and Practicality
Jennifer Lawrence’s shift away from tight-fitting jeans toward more comfortable, layered clothing and permanent accessories reflects a blend of practicality, motherhood, and evolving personal style. Her openness about these changes in a Harper’s Bazaar interview provides insight into how her experiences influence her wardrobe choices.
As she continues to balance life, career, and fashion, Lawrence’s style is likely to keep evolving, drawing from both her environment in New York City and the diverse characters she portrays. Her fashion opinions highlight a move toward comfort and individuality, signaling a wider cultural shift away from restrictive trends like skinny jeans toward more versatile and expressive clothing.
