Jennifer Lawrence in gold at ‘The Hunger Games’ premiere: stunning or busted?

The world premiere of The Hunger Games was held in LA last night, with all of the major stars making red carpet appearances. Well, there was no Lenny Kravitz, but I think he was the only one to skip the red carpet. The premiere got a great turnout from Young Hollywood too – but I’m just going to be covering the people in the movie (plus Miley Cyrus), just because I really don’t know who many of the “Young Hollywood” teenagers are.

Let’s start with fashion! Jennifer Lawrence wore this gold Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 gown, which… I understand. It’s a tribute to her character, and it’s something Katniss would wear. Plus, it’s a big “fashion moment” gown, this is Jennifer’s big premiere for a major film in which she’s the lead. She needed a show-stopper dress. Is this it? Eh. I don’t mind gold on a blonde – and the cutouts are interesting, as is the back of the gown. But I think the overall effect of this look – the dress plus the styling – is slightly cheap. Plus, this girl is beautiful – she doesn’t need the bangs or that scraggly stuff around her face.

Liam Hemsworth shaved! He looks sexier with some scruff. That being said, this boy is handsome. Maybe he’s just a dumb meathead, I don’t know. But he’s cute. As for Josh Hutcherson – that boy is SO short! He’s kind of cute too. I wouldn’t have put him in a three-piece suit, though.

Elizabeth Banks in Versace. The dress is crazy, but I hate her hair.

Liam’s girlfriend Miley Cyrus walked the red carpet separately from Liam. What does that mean? They walk on red carpets together all the time, so I don’t get why they separated this time. Maybe producers wanted Liam to only pose with Jennifer and Josh. Oh, and Miley is wearing Emilio Pucci – eh. She’s not the star. She should have just gone with a cute cocktail dress.

    Very Pretty

  2. backwards says:

    Jennifer is a beautiful girl, but that dress and styling doesn’t do her too many favours.

    Miley- midriff on a red carpet or anywhere else is a big no no. goop i hope you’re reading this.

    • Aiobhan says:

      I agree. The dress would be much cuter if it was knee length. Her hair should have been pulled back. But overall she looks good-not great-but good start. Her booty looks good in the dress.

      Elizabeth Banks looks amazing but I don’t like the boring shoes with that sick dress.

  3. Itwillrain says:

    Miley looks so uncomfortable sucking it in….very bad choice!

    • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

      She just looks insecure and uncomfortable. Agree with the post that she should have gone with something a tad more simple – this is not her movie premiere.

    • normades says:

      She looks desperate for attention.

  4. izzyvalentine says:

    Horrible, horrible, horrible. She is so pretty but WAY too much make-up and a trashy dress. Ugh. And that hair! The colour is awful on her and so is the cut. In my opinion, she should have a darker hair colour, and lighter, more natural make-up. Busted, busted, busted.

    • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

      Will agree that she’s a little too bronzed here.

      • Coucou says:

        Not to mention the fresh upper lip injection, so freaking obvious and boring now, she looks like an average porn star (sorry, i’m in europe so can’t judge her by her acting until the movie shows here).

  5. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    Katniss, the girl on fire. Yay. I actually like the dress for this occasion. It’s fun.

    Liam….woahh. He can be the boy on fire in my book (Cheesy, sorry). Just so damn hot!

  6. brin says:

    Jennifer looks the best of the three but I really don’t care for any of the dresses.

  7. sarah says:

    she enhanced her lips which is almost not noticable because it’s tastefully done

    • P says:

      If she did do that she’s the biggest hypocrite, telling everyone she’s so natural and didn’t jump in the Hollywood bandwagon.

    • ninal says:

      That’s the first thing I noticed too -subtle lip filler going on there. It’s well done but pretty obvious if you knew what she looked like just a year or two ago.

      Most of these girls tweak things though, simply cause they can. Keira Knightly for instance with her lips, even though she’s really pretty.

    • Samigirl says:

      I’ll be naive and say she could have used that lip plumping gloss. I have some that was pretty expensive (for me, anyways), and it gave me a pretty good pout.

      • Mauibound says:

        Ooooh what brand?

      • cara says:

        lip plumper doesn’t plump to that extent. That’s lip filler right there,

      • Samigirl says:

        Smashbox o-plump or something like that. it was like $25 for a little tube!

      • wow says:

        wow. well samigirl…you have to pay good money for good products. if you want beauty, money is needed. jennifer looks awful though. im sick of her and her fat face. shes loud and obnoxious…i wish i could punch her.

      • wow says:

  8. chloew says:

    busted fit, but the concept was great

    she’s more beautful than AJ – not doubt
    AJ can’t compete with this young beauty

  9. lara says:

    Horrible. Jennifer Lawrence looks like a raccoon.

  10. Tapioca says:

    I like Jennifer’s from the back, but the cutouts look tacky going all the way round the front.

    EB’s dress is fabulous, and who knew what great stems she has?!!

  11. Agnes says:

    the gold dress is way too old for a young girl. and sort of trashy/cheap looking.

  12. Waldemar says:

    She is going to regret that dress in a couple of years

    • Tiffany says:

      No she’s not. She is young, and that is the perfect time to take risks. People are way too up tight about fashion.

      • cara says:

        I don’t know if I’d call it a risk, she’s wearing a dress of fire basically. Chances are someone had that dress made for her, and she just wore it.

  13. Cathy says:

    I like Elizabeths dress, even the color. I don’t care for Jennifers dress at all, it just looks yucky to me. Miley just looks like hell.

    • wtf says:

      ummm…miley is the ONLY one that actually looks good. jennifer looks like a cheap hooker. i love fashion..and young girls should take risks. but not obnoxious risks. you only have a while to be young, but forever to be old!!
      ugh, jealous women annoy me.

  14. Aria says:

    Stunning and beautiful young lady! KS take note.

  15. Monkey Jim says:

    I like the idea and she is stunning,, but not keen in hair and overall looks makes her look older than she is – but isn’t Josh one of the love interests when he looks more like her little brother? Ewww.

    And ugly laughing at those gimps behin her doing some kind of ‘Tribute’ hand signal.

    I’m a terrible person.

  16. thinkaboutit says:

    It doesn’t fit well and it’s just a little bit too shiny. Hair and make-up fail.

  17. Esmom says:

    I guess we’re going to see a lot of this trio in weeks to come, sigh. Somehow they don’t seem as stylish as the Twilight trio this go-around. And wow is the Peeta actor tiny!

    But they’re rookies so I will give them the benefit of the doubt 🙂

  18. yes says:

    I saw lots of pictures on popsugar of Liam and Miley posing together.

  19. shruti says:

    this emilio pucci collection looks like shit.be it gwenyth’s dress or this one.!
    i hope miley realizes how irrelevant she is now.that dress is a total famewhore move

    • thebutlerdidit says:

      Irrelevant? Not sure you know what that word means. It’s just been 8 mos since her million dollar a nite tour, she has performed on CNN Heroes, Trevor House Awareness Benefit, Starkey Foundation Benefit, Ellen, and Jimmy Fallon, in the last 8 weeks. Not to mention, returning to Haiti to fit children for hearing aides, two other charity events, promote Bob Dylan’s Amnesty Album, and has two movies coming out. On top of that, two clothing lines, and is working on a new album. She’s not a little kid in HM, anymore, she’s being a regular grown up in Hollowood.

  20. Kaye says:

    I think Jennifer Lawrence looks great. I don’t understand all the negative comments. And lip enhancement? Not in my opinion.

  21. Domestic diva says:

    Poor Jennifer such a beautiful girl but it looks like she’s wearing designer Reynolds wrap. Liam didn’t walk with Miley bc of that outfit:) can’t wait to see the movie !!!!!

  22. birdie says:

    Liam and Miley posed together!

  23. Figleaf says:

    I think they all look lovely. I can’t wait for the movie!

  24. Chatcat says:

    Actually Liam and Jennifer look good together. I agree, for her age she could have been presented closer to her age. They were going for classy and when put against Miley, regardless of the dress, hair, and makeup that is achieved!

  25. Shontay says:

    Love the dress. The hair could’ve been better, but she’s so beautiful that she pretty much pulls it off.

  26. AudreyS says:

    All the dresses look horrible. And, I thought Jennifer Lawrence was the black woman from that Jamie Foxx movie who lost all the weight and is now repping for Jenny Craig. Do these two have the same name?

  27. Anna says:

    Except for Josh (who looks adorable as always) and Liam (he usually doesn’t do anything for me, but he looked really handsome), everyone looks cheap and just badly styled. It pains me to say it, but I hate Jennifer Lawrence’s look with a passion. I hate the dress, the colour and the cut-outs, her hair looks awful. I don’t know who I think looks worse, Jen or Miley Cyrus, and I hate that I don’t think Jen looks way better than Miley… Hoping she picks a better look for the UK premiere tomorrow.

    The best dressed for me were the supporting cast – little Amandla Stenberg (Rue) looked lovely.

  28. mel says:

    Elizabeth Banks looks amazing…

    Jennifer…well…I’m not a fan of mermaid dresses so I’ll just pass

    Miley looks cute…she is young enough to pull this look off…not that I necessarily LOVE it but it fits her age.

  29. MJ says:

    I think she looks HOT! Like Barbarella or some other sci-fi babe from the 1960s, which is probably the point.

  30. Maya says:

    I know I’m in the minority here, but I don’t find Jennifer Lawrence pretty at all. I think she’s a really talented actress and seems like a down-to-earth person, so I’m not criticizing her…I just find her very plain.

    • P says:

      She is plain. I have no idea why people think she’s so stunning, when she’s very normal like most of HW. Beautiful women were the old HW women, nowadays they are just plain. Maybe they think Jennifer is so different from everything, which she clearly isn’t, they are head over heels.

    • lisa says:

      I thought I was the only one.
      I like her, I like her personality.
      But I don’t see her as beautiful.

    • ninal says:

      I actually think she’s very pretty in a girl next door way. She looks like the pretty volleyball player we went to school with, athletic and healthy. I think whenever anyone gets a plum role like Katniss though, people react extremely to them.

  31. NerdMomma says:

    When Jennifer Lawrence is not smiling, she is a stunning beauty. When she smiles, she transforms into an adorable girl-next-door. She is so darn cute, I can’t wait to see all the dresses she wears over the next few weeks promoting this film. I love that she’s going with a little flair, and I think her hair looks amazing from the back.

  32. jamie says:

    That first pic made me lol. Josh Hutcherson looks tiny but cute! I don’t mind Jennifer Lawrence’s dress that much, mainly because she’s so gorgeous she would look good in anything and I also love the fact that she has a body that is athletic/healthy looking. LOVE Elizabeth Banks’ dress, I wish Jennifer had worn it actually. Good god, Liam Hemsworth is almost too pretty to be attractive. I’ve never been a fan of Miley Cyrus and never will be. But it must be hard having such a gorgeous boyfriend who’s career is surpassing yours and everyone is talking about how he’s out of your league now. Of course her ego is probably so huge that I doubt she’s giving it any thought.

  33. jc126 says:

    Jennifer Lawrence is beautiful.

    That guy looks like he’s Rob Lowe’s secret son.

  34. lucy2 says:

    I don’t like that dress at all, it looks cheap and uncomfortable. Messy hair and makeup too.
    I think she’s pretty, but not devastatingly gorgeous – though she is still young, who knows as she gets older. She seems like a nice, down to earth girl though, so though I have no interest in it, I hope her movie does well. She was fantastic in Winter’s Bone (and looked amazing at the Oscars that year).

  35. Pedge says:

    Love J-Law. Don’t love the dress.

    Miley looks like Jamie Gertz in Lost Boys.

  36. katie says:

    Jennifer’s make up is a mess and her hair is a mess too. But the dress is hot.
    Why is Miley trying to steal the spotlight in that awful dress? She does look she is sucking it in!

  37. Mr. Stinky FishFace says:

    Is it just me or does anyone else think that Miley picked a dress that would purposely get people talking since she wasn’t the star of the show. For some reason wearing something like that to your boyfriend’s big premiere just screams attention whore.

  38. Happy21 says:

    Jennifer’s dress isn’t great. Its not horrible but its meh. It looks uncomfortable and would look better short.

    Miley looks like a joke. My first thought was “is she kidding?” God AWFUL!

    Wow Josh H is so small. That was a surprise. Liam is dreamy and Elizabeth Banks looks great! She should have worn a different shoe though…

  39. Ron says:

    I loved Jennifer’s dress. it moved beautifully and is memorablefor a red carpet dress, bad or good, so it was a great choice. Don’t love the hair, but it’s not terrible. I also like Miley’s number too, I don’t think is was too much in anyway, and it was black. It’s not like she showed up in a red dress with a 10 foot train. EB’s dress is good but the hair is to editorial.

  40. MissKiki says:

    I need EB’s dress in my life ASAP. Also does anyone else think Liam looks a bit like John Krazinsky in these pics???

  41. Kara Ann says:

    Josh is okay. Jennifer is beautiful but the look doesn’t enhance that. Miley, bless her heart, is just trying too hard to be noticed here when it’s not her night. Lastly,

    LIAM HEMSWORTH…get the defibrillators ’cause that boy stops my heart! Gorgeous!

  42. Micah says:

    Completely overdone….WTF!!!

  43. Marianne says:

    I love Jennifer’s dress from the back. But I’m not that keen on gold dresses tbh. I like Elizabeth’s dress, but not crazy about the hairdo. Miley’s look is a big WTF for me.

  44. DavidBowie says:

    I half expect Jennifer to carry around her own mirror ball. That dress is just…unforgivable. Also, for the love of gawd someone give Josh some stilts or a box he can stand on. Ugh.

  45. T.C. says:

    The gold is to match the gold Mockingjay pin and lettering but it looks cheap. Josh is so short and creepy with his arms around Jennifer’s waist. She should have posed with Liam.

    Liam, Liam that gorgeous Aussie boy. Looking HAWT.

  46. MissyA says:

    I think they put Jennifer Lawerence in a dramatic gold number to emulate Katniss’s dazzling “interview” dress. “The girl on fire.” At least, that’s the vibe I’m getting.

    I think she looks nice. Just “nice” though. I like the overall theme and appreciate the efforts of the styling crew, but the cutouts just cheapen the look. Makes me a little nervous for the actual depictions of Peeta and Katniss’s styling in the movie itself. . .

  47. Belle says:

    I think JL is beautiful, and I realize the dress is supposed to be kind of a tribute to the movie/character, but I think it is simply AWFUL! I don’t mind the gold (much) but the style… not only is it ugly, but the fit looks terrible (especially from the front).
    EB looks hot!
    Miley… after what I thought were some lovely red carpet appearances, this one is… well, not great(;
    Josh… I like him, but not as Peeta. I have always been team-Gale, and now I am REALLY team-Liam.. er, I mean Gale(;

    • Lily says:

      No one famous is ever going to read these comments. Soo all of everyones trash talking doesnt do any good. You all just make yourselves look jealous and pathetic. No celeb would ever stoop down to your level..thats why THEY made it in Hollywood and you all DID NOT. So knock it off! If you want your dreams to come true too, get off the computer and go make it happen. Or just be quiet. Thanks 😉

    • Lily says:

      Also Im in looove with Mileys dress! So adorable

    • Lily says:

      yayy

    • Lily says:

      haha

    • Lily says:

      haha

  48. tan says:

    I actually love the dress, but I agree that her make up is just too much. She’s prettier without too much make up on.

  49. Reece says:

    I like JL’s dress in concept but it’s wrong. It hits her in the wrong places. Hate her hair! Hate. Should’ve been pulled back.
    The guys look sexy! Love men in well tailored suits.
    I think I’m going to marry Elizabeth Banks dress.
    Yes Miley should have gone with something a little less as it’s not her movie but at least she doesn’t look 40! I actually like it just no for this.

  50. jesstar says:

    I would like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Hemsworth for gifting the world with their beautiful boys Liam & Chris. 🙂

    Love EB’s legs!

  51. Snarky says:

    Patrick Dempsey’s wife did her makeup for the event. Explains the horrid eyeliner. That woman always cakes it on.

  52. Kim says:

    She is a beautiful girl but i think the dress is to mature for her and is to dressy for a kids movie premiere.

  53. Camille (The original) says:

    Jennifer is a very pretty girl, but I hate her makeup here and I don’t care for her hair. The design of the dress is…ok, but I don’t like the cheap looking fabric.

    Miley looks ridiculous.

  54. Perfect. The dress is perfect and event appropriate.

  55. marshall says:

    hannah montana’s 15 minutes of fame are up . please she was like poplular like 4 years ago. how old is she anyways? she looks too young for that outfit and does not have the body for it. next will be that bieber guy. her boyfriend is going up and getting more famous, he will leave her for a girl who is in his league of looks, because it’s obvious that she is outta his league.

  56. Simone Raverine says:

    golden dress looks okay,not that great.

  57. Michelle says:

    I actually like Miley’s dress and think she looks cute.

  58. Valentina says:

    Am I the only one who things she looks UNFREAKINBELIEVABLE? She is stunning in that dress…

  59. Alice says:

    I just don’t see Josh as Peeta. I know Peeta isn’t supposed to be some hunk, but still, he should at least be taller than Katniss. I pictured him more as Branson the driver from Downton Abbey. 🙂

  60. Shay Kay says:

    Liam looks goooooood and thus far he hasn’t ruined the effect by opening his mouth and sounding like a dumb*ss. Actually he and his brother both sound like they actually have common sense which surely is a rare commodity in Hollywood.

    Miley, good luck holding onto that girl you’re going to need it!

    JLaw, loving you but don’t wear what my Barbie doll’s “Disco Gold” outfit to you’re next premier.

    Josh, dude I hope you’ve got charisma to spare but even if you do try not to stand by Liam….sorry but life’s not fair.

  61. Amy says:

    I want Elizabeth Banks’ legs!

  62. meowmix says:

    All you negative nancys need to find a better way to make yourselves feel better.
    If you don’t think Jennifer looks like a total goddess, you’re crazy. The bronze color of the dress compliments her olive skin tone and the windswept look of her hair is a nice contrast to the formality of the gown. She has always had a full upper lip and just because there is a picture that accentuates it doesn’t mean she’s had injections. We’ve all had pictures taken that altered how we really look.
    People are so critical!
