Jennifer Lawrence shows off her assets in Calvin Klein: beautiful or tacky?

Everyone who has seen X-Men: First Class knows that Jennifer Lawrence has a bangin’ body. She played the young Mystique, complete with the extensive body-paint/makeup and nudity that the part required. So, I already knew that the girl has a lovely, healthy-looking figure with, frankly, awesome boobs. Unfortunately for all of us who love to see a healthy young woman embrace her figure, Jennifer Lawrence’s style during The Hunger Games promotion has been a series of unflattering gowns and uncomfortable-looking cocktail dresses. Mostly “miss”. It’s like her stylist doesn’t know Jennifer’s strengths.

Yesterday, Jennifer was promoting THG in New York, where she made an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, AND did the NYC premiere, AND a book signing. She showed off three different looks, with varying degrees of success. This green Calvin Klein was… not my favorite, but not my least favorite either. The best thing I can say about it is that at least J-Law’s assets are finally being shown off. The worst thing I can say about it is that when she sitting down, it definitely seems like her girls need a tad more support. Oh, and I do love Jennifer in this color. She looks beautiful in green.

This was my least favorite dress, which J-Law wore going into the Ed Sullivan theater. It’s by Raoul. It doesn’t suit her body type.

My favorite was this Prabal Gurung dress that Jennifer wore coming out of the Ed Sullivan theater. It’s interesting, the cut is nice, and it makes her look like a young adult (as opposed to an awkward teen).

    Still another miss.

    She has a beautiful body though. It’s hard to believe she’s only 21!

  2. mel says:

    She just needs to fire her stylist. Thats all that needs to be said.

    • Esmom says:

      Totally. I can’t believe she even has a stylist because her looks just seem so amateur-ish.

      • grey says:

        completely agree! She’s so much prettier than she’s coming across in this tour. Her bangs alone. Just everything is a train wreck. I’d bet if she walked out in jean and white tank top with a ponytail she’d look better.

      • Nan209 says:

        My thoughts exactly.

    • OriginalTiffany says:

      Yep, she needs a real life Cinna.
      I just can’t believe how the dude playing Peeta is killing this for me. He’s a fricking hobbit next to her. Katniss is supposed to be tiny and Peeta big.

      Nice color on her though.

      • OriginalTiffany says:

        My biggest problem with her? My usual peeve. The freaking HUGE shoes! Please Hollyweird stylists and stars, get properly fitting shoes!!!

      • FrowninPabloDread says:

        You took the words right out of my mouth. But I did imagine Katniss like Jen Lawrence. Peeta is supposed to be focusing on his ability to lift heavy things. He probably can’t even get his wee lil man arms around Jen Lawrence’s f***ing amazing body.

  3. Shay says:

    Is it just me or does she have a really awkward smile?
    Maybe that’s just how she smiles but to me it always looks fake and like she’s super uncomfortable.

    • carrie says:

      +1

    • P says:

      Of course it is fake, someone shouldn’t have to force a smile to please the masses.

      • Shay says:

        I’m just saying, she seems super uncomfortable. I feel kind of bad for her.
        Most celebrities have gotten used to smiling naturally as they walk the red carpet, no matter how they’re feeling. The smile plus the dresses just adds up to a big pile of discomfort. Poor girl.

  4. Astrid says:

    Tacky

  5. Diana says:

    Her boobs are amazing even when sitting. Dunno what the problem is… If they’re implants, why so pointy, if they’re natural, why so saggy. Jeez.

    • Franny says:

      I’m pretty sure they are natural. They sag because they are larger than a B cup and are NATURAL. I know we are so used to seeing fake boobs stand up by themselves, but boobs have a natural sag to them. I don’t understand how all of you women on here scream about boobs sagging. Have you never seen larger natural boobs?

      • kit says:

        ITA.
        Its as if the sillicone bags have warped people’s idea of what regular boobs look like and if they don’t stick out like two helium balloons, then it’s labelled saggy. Ugh, as if women don’t have enough body image worries yet.

      • HotPockets says:

        Thank you! I have natural f cups and I am about the same size as Jennifer and my boobs sag a little. I can’t go anywhere without some good support. One night I was at a club and all these people were screaming fake titties at me, until some random guy said, they look a little saggy, so I don’t think they’re fake. UGH.

      • Tiffany says:

        I agree. It is terrible how the natural breast has been shamed in society, and the bolt-on look has become the norm. I don’t think it looks attractive at all. It reminds me of the “uncanny valley” of robotics and animation.

    • Irishae says:

      Agreed. The only thing that bothers me is that this is probably from one of the mall meet-and-greets, so it is a little much. If it were an evening event, and the dress were a gown, it would be stunning.

  6. Naye in VA says:

    Im kinda just starting to think she doesnt know how to wear clothes. like she is just gettin gused to dresses and heels and nobody has taught her the hollywood standard of one leg forward, shoulders back, hips out. I dont think any of the clothes are that bad, just that she doesnt quite know how to work them.

  7. gloaming says:

    Fantastic body but that smile is going to give me nightmares.

    Smeyes Jennifer!!

  8. backwards says:

    The stylist (paid for by the studio) just picked some nice dresses without any thought to the person wearing them. Shame.

  9. Franny says:

    I like that she is willing to wear some intersting clothes. As a girl who has a similar sized rack though, the green one is making me feel reall uncomfortable. Young boobs are great, but when they get that size, there will be sagging.

    The bangs though, I just can’t. They look so unkempt!

    Also, her smiles seem so sad. I don’t see any joy in them 🙁

    • ruddyzookeeper says:

      I’m thinking she has a very unfortunate cowlick in the front and doesn’t know how to control it/work with it. Getting rid of the bangs altogether would be a good start.

  10. Suzy (from Ontario, Canada) says:

    I don’t like that lowcut, especially with a short dress. Just looks like she’s trying too hard to be sexy and it looks awkward and forced. I think she looks nicest in the last dress (the black one with the long sleeves) at the end of the pics.

  11. Linn says:

    The green dress is a amazing and I actually love the second one too (the one you hated). The third one is fine.

    Her hair is SO stunning though, but those bangs make me sad. She doesn’t need them!

  12. Suzy (from Ontario, Canada) says:

    She could use some tips about how to stand and pose. She looks gawky and awkward the way she is standing and being dressed in fancy clothes only accentuates that. She seems like she’s probably more comfortable in jeans and tshirts.

  13. lisa says:

    She has an amazing body. I think the sexy is what is missing from her. But maybe she doesn’t want to be sexy. So..

    anyway she is pretty, not beautiful. She reminds me of somebody, but I can’t recall the name.

  14. Mirella says:

    Great body, but she needs to fire her stylist. And learn how to pose.

  15. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    Loving the Prabal Gurung dress; she should have worn that all day. The green is a little too low-cut, IMHO. Thank God she didnt wear that in front of David Letterman. We all know good and well he would not have been able to contain himself. So, at least good part for the scheduling of the looks lol

  16. Marisa says:

    She looks great. She just needs to learn how to stand when posing for pics. One leg in front of the other, honey! With that awkward pose, she looks like a five year old.

  17. BKiddo says:

    Love that Prabal Gurung dress! And those heels too! Anyone know the designer?

    Her smile is a bit weird. When she smiles, she reminds me of my old Cabbage Patch dolls (and that ain’t a compliment!)

    Killer body though.

  18. BW says:

    Why did she need 3 dresses for 1/2 work? One to arrive in, one to have the interview, and one to leave in?

  19. Lauren says:

    She is beautiful, healthy & intelligent. Let her be.

  20. Aiobhan says:

    I must be crazy because I love all three looks with the Prabal Gurung being the best. But she has the Worst posture.

  21. jermsmom says:

    I think her stylist dresses her too old. The looks would be better on a mature woman. Everything she has worn seems to heavily textured and dark. She is a beautiful young woman with a gorgeous figure but it is being mired down with boring, heavy, and ill-fitting clothing.

  22. lisa says:

    I think Jennifer looks great. The color is beautiful on her and it fits like a glove. Fantastic body that didn’t come from starvation.

  23. Fran says:

    I love the first 2 dresses, the third one is MEH!
    Number two fits her perfectly!

  24. Pedge says:

    I think she looks lovely!

  25. Esmom says:

    I like the second look best. Dress, hair, makeup and shoes all come together unlike most of her other looks.

    Josh Hutcherson looks over it in front of the Nook table, lol!

    The Twilight trio and its various configurations had more charisma and style (yes even K Stew). Maybe these kids will get it together by the third movie.

  26. Eileen says:

    She has such a girly face-its hard to see her in these adult outfits. She looks like she’s in highschool. How old is she really?

  27. anonymoose says:

    She has the stiffest, most insincere-looking smile and her eyes do not connect with it. She’s an actress? Strange, because she does not appear to know how to inhabit space comfortably.

  28. Embee says:

    I think this is what a normal person looks like when placed on a red carpet. Of course, Jennifer is much prettier than average, but she hasn’t perfected the red carpet stance or facial expressions that, while ridiculous, have becoem the norm.

    She has probably seen/read the scathing remarks about her smile, which is why she stopped smiling a few apperances ago, and is now doing so self-consciously.

    She’s probabaly absolutely lovely in person. But I do think her stylist hates her, or is one of those weird fashion people who haven’t any clue how to accomadate the realities of the person they are dress within the context of the stylist’s “concept.” Like, the opposite of Cinna.

    • lucy2 says:

      I agree – I think it’s a combo of the stylist making bad choices for her wardrobe, hair and makeup, and her not having the red carpet presence yet to pull it off anyway.

    • Esmom says:

      A lot of this same criticism was leveled at Rooney Mara during all her TGWTDT appearances, albeit a bit more viciously since people didn’t seem to find her as accessible as Jennifer.

      We are harsh on our celebs, especially the new ones apparently!

  29. Scarlet Vixen says:

    I CANNOT stand the heavy handed eyeliner! She’s so adorable, but that eyeliner just makes her already small eyes look teeny tiny.

  30. Courtney says:

    I just can’t get past those wall-eyes. They’re so bad.

    Body looks great.

  31. KLO says:

    She is tall, beautiful, has boobs and hips but is very slim. Yet it seems to be impossible to clothe her in stuff that fits. What’s going on?

    Next thing we know she’s gonna go on a starvation diet to fit sample sizes.

  32. one hung dude says:

    j law should appear everywhere nude because she has a banging body and i’d like to see more of it.

  33. maggiegrace says:

    Girl can’t fake-smile to save her life.

    • Tara says:

      Strangely I love her fake smile. It’s about the same as mine. 🙂 agree about her stylist being clueless.

  34. iloveretro says:

    I do love the Prabal Gurung dress. The color of the Calvin Klein is gorgeous on her, but the cut is all wrong. Same for the Raoul dress.

  35. Alexis says:

    Maybe I don’t look at as many racks as some of you, but I literally don’t see what you are talking about when you talk about JL’s “saggy” boobs in the green. Her boobs look fine, but I don’t like the cut or material of the dress. The dress looks cheap, and I don’t mean slutty (she’s too awkward for it to come off slutty).

    • Shannon says:

      Yeah I agree. They just look like real boobs. I think people have gotten too used to lifted silicone boobs to realize that this is what normal boobs are supposed to look like.

  36. sarah says:

    I thinks she’s tweaked. She definitely had something done now when she’s more famous. eye lift, probably (because she used to have “old eyes”). Catherine Zeta-Jones did it in her 20th so why not

  37. Sara says:

    Not the biggest Jennifer Lawrence fan, but she has a fantastic body…Unfortunately, I think she is already starting to lose weight. I’ve been reading the reviews for The Hunger Games and I keep noticing the weird comments about her body being sturdy, traces of baby fat, etc. and these were all from pretty legit critics…I think one was The Hollywood Reporter or Variety. A couple of bloggers have gone further with it, calling her big boned. Even Lainey went into a defense of her body and she looked like she had endurance. The problem is, in Hollywood, having traces of baby fat or looking like you have endurance isn’t great. Kathleen Turner kind of reminds me of the same body type, but there are not that many unless you are talking action.

  38. Mi says:

    The green one is a bit to lowcut for my taste. And her smile looks a bit, I don’t know stiff or plastic to me.

  39. Flora says:

    Surely the PRs of the studio are reading the criticism that their main star is getting for her outfits. They need to fire her stylist STAT! This is getting ridiculous now.

    That green dress looks great, but she’s visibly uncomfortable wearing it. She’s only 21 years old and still a bit of a tomboy. Why not dress her in something she’s more comfortable in?

    She does look stunning in those cute LBDs.

  40. NeoCleo says:

    I agree–her stylist doesn’t seem to know what to do with her. Luckily she is stunning to look at and what could be truly detrimental to another woman is just kind of annoying on her.

  41. Malificent says:

    In real life Jennifer has a beautiful, healthy body — and doesn’t need to lose a pound. However, I can see, in the context of The Hunger Games, why so many critics mentioned her weight. The character she plays is from a poverty-stricken area and is chronically underfed. So, for accuracy to the book and character, it might have been appropriate for her to lose some weight fpr the role.

  42. Amanda G says:

    At least her hair looks better… I think she looks like a 14 year old playing dress up. She needs to work on her posture and make up. She doesn’t have a very nice smile either. I think she would prefer not to.

    How can so many say that her breasts are sagging? Are you all flat chested or something? Google natural breasts and see what they look like. She’s natural and looks great in that area!

  43. keke says:

    She is very awkward like kristen stewart, but the difference is that I find lawrence’s awkwardness endearing, whereas stewart just makes me feel uncomfortable as well lol

  44. Eileen says:

    BTW Enty over at CDAN has an INSANE blind about The Hunger Games! Basically copied and pasted a long email from the star actress (JL of course) with all the details of the filming.

    • Sara says:

      I don’t buy CDAN at all. In fact, I think it is one of his friends who is more well written pretending to be RDJ. Reason is, CDAN is right sometimes (I think PR people occasionally plant items) but wrong 95% of the time. There has been several times where he has sworn that someone is pregnant, cheating, etc. and then the actress turns out to not be pregnant. I also think he crossest the line…The blind about Hayden Panneterrie being sexually abused by her father and being a hooker and all that shiit….Totally fake, sorry, and kind of fvcked up to write even if there was a hint of truth.

      • .... says:

        I don’t believe it, too. That’s not Jennifer Lawrence. Maybe it’s Leven Rambin, but it’s created like it should be Jennifer Lawrence, so I call it bs. I think she’s way to much in love with her boyfriend to cheat on him.

  45. Gene Parmesan says:

    She has an ahmazing (oprah voice) body but she just needs to know what silhouette works for her.

  46. Michele says:

    She reminds me of the female jock at school who looked like a fish out of water in a dress at the dances. Someone should tell her she shouldn’t stand with her legs so far apart in a dress, especially one with a short hem. The green dress shows way too much cleavage for a full figured girl like herself. There isn’t enough support and her boobs look lopsided and saggy. I can’t believe she wore it again to the fan signing event after the premiere. I think it was way too much cleavage on display. Her makeup and hair looked pretty, though. I think she looked uncomfortable at every premiere she has attended so far. Luckily for her, the promotion for this film is coming to an end soon. Then she can ditch the fancy dresses and heels for awhile and just be herself again.

  47. Isa says:

    I’m super excited for this movie. May make my husband splurge and take me to see it in theaters.

    Her smile is a bit off. Does she have a scar around her mouth? Everytime I see the preview for the movie I think she is Emily Browning.

    She looks so better in the movies. Those bangs are horrible!

  48. Alexis says:

    She’s not a beauty, but she’s definitely cute. She doesn’t look quite comfortable in her own skin yet. Perhaps that’ll come in time.

    • ... says:

      I think she’s very beautiful, like really, really beautiful 😉 Shows that everbody has a different taste, which is totally fine.

  49. shontay says:

    Love Jen and she has a terrific body. She’s also extremely pretty in my opinion. I find her lack of polish endearing. I don’t think she needs to fire her stylist. We aren’t dealing with Jessica Chastain level tragedy here. It can be better, but it could be much worse.

  50. Shannon says:

    All of the dresses were good in theory, but they’re all such an awkward length! At least the color choices are improved I guess, but they need to put her in longer dresses. I get that her stylist is trying to show off her gorgeous legs, but sacrificing the dresses for that is NOT working. She’s showing off enough with her bountiful cleavage anyway, so it’s time to put her in longer gowns.

  51. Mia says:

    Love how healthy she looks. Wish her bangs would go away though – she doesn’t have wide-set eyes so the bangs just end up making her look more sleepy-eyed.

    Also the guy playing Peeta – short men are fine but why does he look so unattractive in all the media calls so far? His suits dont help either.

  52. TXCinderella says:

    I like the green dress, but not on her. I think it would look better on someone with a smaller chest, she is showing too much boobage. The keyhole dress is too teenage for a starlet. It would look okay for everyday with a cute pair of flats sandals though. The last dress is perfect for her. It adds just enough sophistication and shows off her curves without giving away too much. Classy!

  53. Kosmos says:

    I like both dresses more than the cleavage dress, which would be okay with a little more coverage. I’m just not a fan of overdoing the cleavage. You can still look hot on top without giving it away.

  54. caitie says:

    I am sorry but her ‘girls’ do not need more support, they look awesome! Totally jealous. I think she is lovely and healthy looking, perfect but is still finding her style. she’ll get there!

  55. Hina says:

    I think Angelina’s days are numbered. Another Jennifer, a much younger, prettier one is coming to steal the limelight.
