Jennifer Lawrence is one of Hollywood’s most fearless dressers. One moment the Oscar-winning actress may channel a Disney princess in Dior, the next, she’ll embrace print-on-print directional dressing in Altuzarra. And yesterday in Los Angeles, while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote her film Passengers, Lawrence again defied convention, bringing a modern mashup of girl-boss style to one of the season’s most daring looks, the corset.
Victoria Beckham took the style to the red carpet in Cannes this summer and Kim Kardashian West wore the Victorian staple in Cuba, but last night Lawrence put a practical spin on the look. The heavily embellished top from Dolce & Gabanna featured exposed boning, a throwback element, but the inherent sultriness was offset by a sleek black suit. The actress kept things streamlined with a minimal approach to accessorizing: personal jewelry for hints of sparkle and pointy-toe stilettos to ground the look with polish.
