Dior’s show at Paris Fashion Week is one the hottest tickets of any fashion week in any city. Models, fashionistas and celebrities rearrange their schedules just to be available for the Dior show, and all of the faces of Dior are likely contractually obligated to show up at a few shows a year. Which is how Jennifer Lawrence – who has been undercover for MONTHS – deigned to appear at the Dior show on Friday. And when I say “deigned,” I mean… she looks completely over this. She didn’t want to be in Paris for the Dior show at all. I can see it on her face. And I don’t know if Dior chose Jennifer’s outfit or what, but Dior’s golden girl definitely got the worst ensemble. That might be why she’s so glum-looking too. “Oh, jean capris? Really? Okay, I guess… since I’m contractually obligated.”
And to think, I actually had high hopes for Dior’s new creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, who took over from Raf Simons this year. Simons was doing terrible things with the label. But judging from these clothes… um, Chiuri isn’t doing much better.
More photos from the show… Rihanna has a gift for making the stupidest clothes look amazing. This is one of those times. This dress would look like an absurd, ill-fitting costume on nearly anyone else. On Rihanna, it looks chic.
I’ve seen so many fashion sites acting like Marion Cotillard’s white sweater/dress is the second coming of Jesus. Really? It’s a pretty unflattering design. Granted, she’s pregnant and I bet this is really comfortable.
Karlie Kloss in one of the best skirts to come out of Dior in a long time.
Kate Moss is doing something different, right? I think she’s going for a more beachy blonde, whereas before she was more of a “bronde.” The jean jacket is… eh.
Diane Kruger looks like she just came from Lollapalooza. In 1995.
And finally, Natalie Portman was there too. Like Marion, she’s knocked up. Something in the water over there at Dior, maybe.

All outfits are equaly terrible.
x100000! Never seen so many fugly outfits at one event.
The only place with a larger collection of fug is a Stella McCartney show.
Several of them look like eight-year-old me’s attempt to style and sew “bespoke” clothes for my Barbie doll from my mom’s fabric scraps.
No, JLaws is the worst. What is with the crotch of the jeans??? Like I have never before wondered if JLaw had male parts.
I agree. Not about the crotch but srsly, hers is too meh to even call ugly. She’s never gonna be a fashion girl and it’s painfully obvious she’s doing it for (admittedly, crazy) money.
I was thinking the same thing. These women are really beautiful and they all look like a dumpster.
+1
Riri looks the best like magic but even her face is like… Please no more… And her shoes are majorly fug. JLaw looks awful. This is a montage of fail.
Lol, that is exactly the look those jeans deserve.
I loved Rhianna’s PUMA collection, it was like Yeezy if that line had any soul and joy put into it.
maybe she’s pissed because the tips of her shoes are all scuffed up.. Or is that “the look”..?
Why… why are they all dressed terribly? JLaw at least has a half-way sensible outfit – but it’s not something fancy or different at all – but most of the rest? Holy hell, it’s actually terrible. It’s like a prank.
I know – it’s odd. So slobby. Guess it’s part of the zeitgeist – everything going downhill (or maybe it’s just a grand equalizing, a democratization?) – politics, music, discourse, fashion.
The jean number with Elvises (Elvi?) on the is reminiscent of Cincinnati, 1980’s, where I totally screwed up a pair of jeans, so pen and inked monsters all over them. (I worked in a costume shop) teen boys in the neighborhood wanted the same thing, but they had no money, so I switched out the pay for cleaning up the neighborhood.
There was an army of street cleaners in jeans the like of which Moss is wearing, and she doesn’t even know it, and I find that amusing.
All of it kinda Fail-ly? anyways Rihanna’s Formal Short Toga was striking up close cause the little embroidered bugs are kinda amazing
Marion Shoes are the only salvageable Item here, which is hilarious considering all these clothes could Buy my Life twice over LOL
Marions shoe are good, Jlaw’s might be, but I can’t see the side. Karlie’s coat is lovely.
Everything else is dumpy and horrible, except Rihanna who is immaculate in everything and I refuse to believe otherwise.
Marion’s pregnant so she’d probably be the easiest to roll. I’m gonna steal her sweater, sell said sweater to Kruger as a dress, and then use the proceeds to buy a j to smoke with JLaw (she’d totally rather be doing that – look at her) and my wardrobe for a year.
Kaiser, fakakta has long been one of my favorite words ( all credit to the Blues Brothers, where I first heard it) but I never knew how it was spelled. Thank you!
Except that’s not really the right spelling. It’s a Yiddish word and “verkakte” is the normally accepted spelling. Or something closer to that would be acceptable. But “fakakta” is distinctly un-Yiddish looking.
Thank you, but seeing it used, even if misspelled, made me laugh so hard.
Natalie Portman looks contractually oblufated to be there as well.
You’re right – the skirt is amaze balls. But that’s about it. Both Dior and Chanel have become mediocre.
I think Rihanna can “save” all outfits. Seriously !!
But Gahd Damn that woman is gorgeous though. Face-wise, JLaw looks freaking amazing.
Yes, from the neck up it is the most beautiful she’s ever looked.
Was about to say that. I never think of her when I think about famous beauties, but in here, her face is even prettier than Rihanna’s and Karlie’s, who are definetly naturally gorgeous.
I agree.
Sum it up in just one word… Underwhelming.
Bleah… It all looks just plain ‘meh’
100%. Would any of y’all think I was an a$$hole if I admitted that I find karlie very ‘meh’. I mean she’s no Martha Hunt right! (#neitherami)
The difference is that Martha Hunt will never be good for much more than lingerie/swimwear (aka spank banks by any other name), while Karlie actually pulls off high fashion shoots .
mind you, I don’t think Karlie is pretty either but she has the poise and confidence to make it work, and she actually became a top model off her walk and posing, not her instagram follower count.
…Also: How High/drunk/is Kate Moss??
My thoughts exactly. All pictures that I see of her seem to look like she’s on something. Maybe it’s just her trying to put a look out there and it’s not working.
I feel like all the drugs and partying hit her fast and hard in the last five years or so.
All of them look terrible. Imagine a conversationlike this:
“Damn, your outfit is bad.”
“But it is Dior.”
“So you paid a lot for looking this bad!?”
“DIOR.”
“Your outfit is already screaming at me, you don’t have to.”
Jennifer’s outfit is solid proof that wearing designer doesn’t make you stylish. (Generally speaking. JLaw has to wear Dior because contract.)
Read this whole exchange in Eddy’s and Saffy’s voices from Ab Fab. 😁
It’s Dior, dahling. DI-ORRRRR. 😤
Hahaha… I love Ab Fab.
LMAO. I lost it at “Your outfit is already screaming at me, you don’t have to.”
I can’t stop laughing at Kate’s faded denim shirt. So 1989!!!! I swear I wore that exact shirt but mine was self-decorated using “puffy paint”. A friend finally staged a fashion intervention and took it away from before 1991 was ushered in.
Awful clothes. Lawrence actually looks like she doesn’t feel well. Maybe she was under the weather but had to show up because, contract. Who knows?
Jennifer’s make up is sublime. Love. It.
It’s impeccable here.
If I tried to find it on youtube, 12 different makeup artists would be telling me it’s their ‘day look’ even though it probably takes a solid 45 minutes to apply.
I haven’t yet mastered the glowy no make up make up look. I wish I could!! I always turn out too pink.
Oof, these outfits all look terrible and everyone involved looks like they know it.
this is the first dior collection i’ve liked in years, it was really good! maria grazia chiuri used to be at valentino and always did great work.
Her partner’s new collection over at Valentino is gorgeous.
I adore Valentino. I’m a bit sad she left for Dior, but hopefully she can work her magic there.
yes, i’m in love with his last collection.
Is this really going to be much of her vision for Dior, though? Designers work seasons ahead of time, so while the show aesthetic and some details would be Chiuri’s, wouldn’t a great deal of this still be Simmons’ designs?
for the last year or so it was a team of designers at dior, and what they did didn’t look much like simmons’, so i’m assuming he’s been done for a while. this last dior though had a real valentino vibe, maybe that’s not her vision entirely but it’s certainly different. i think she’ll do well, even alessandro michele at gucci took a couple of seasons to find his footing, and look where they are now.
I have this vision of her looking at what was produced for the show and scrapping it, hence the floaty skirts and t-shirts 🙂
Who’d have thought that Raf Simmons would be the epic flame-out while Hedi Slimane has been killing it at Saint Laurent?
Some of the women manage to look nice anyway, but yeah, none of these outfits are good.
I think everyone there seems pretty miserable.
Marion looks sublime – she’s got the best legs and knows how to show them in a tasteful way. Jennifer looks like she doesn’t give a **, Kate Moss – I have no words. Natalie – boring as hell. Dior has been so awful lately, I only like their bags.
If the personnel change at Dior only happened earlier this year, we’re still going to be seeing the fruits of Simmons designs here and probably the next season – fashion works seasons ahead of time in order to get everything properly sourced, made, and fitted. Remember how long it took people to realize Donnatella Versace wasn’t very good? It’s because she was cycling through the last of Gianni’s work for her first seasons.
There is nothing “chic” about the ensemble Rihanna’s wearing. She’s gob-smackingly gorgeous in spite of what she wears. Nothing could elevate that.
These all look terrible, but Rihanna does elevate bad or strange fashion.
JLaw needs to get hired by Calvin Klein after her Dior contract is up. She always looks great in CK.
When did Chiuri leave Valentino? I loved whay her and Piccioli were doing for that label.
I literally laughed out loud when I saw JLaw’s outfit. And I’m NOT a fashionista by any stretch of imagination. I’d consider that horrible on a junkie at a gas station, let alone on a movie star at a Dior show in Paris. Wow, just wow. Maybe it’s actually a good thing I’m not a fashionista?
I will never understand how Kate Moss is a super-model. On my scale, I’d say she’s less good-looking than an average woman.
Agree with everything you said.
Kate Moss…I just don’t get it.
Farkockte
JLaw, Kate Moss, and Diane Krueger all look like they had to get dressed out of the lost and found. I didn’t say Goodwill because they could have found way better outfits there.
TERRIBLE. Every.Single.One.
Man, I loved Kate’s jacket. Apparently I’m the only one, including herself.
What is up with the dropped crotch look in pants? Make room for Depends?? Very unflatttering.
Karlie got the best outfit of the lot. I also like Kate’s, in a sense of ‘I’d wear that’. Rihanna is only saved by her own gorgeousness tbqh.
I’d have done the jeans without a boyfriend cut, but this is actually the most “her” we’ve seen Dior dress her. More casual than overdressed.
Did Jennifer Lawrence have her nose tweaked again? It sure looks like it to me.
JL has never had her nose ‘tweaked’. Make up can change the highlights but her nose has been the same since day one. http://cdn03.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/lawrence-same/jennifer-lawrence-amy-schumer-golden-globes-dress-06.jpg
She looks like Katherine Heigl there.
Where’s the picture of the guest of honor, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie? Just because of her this event is worth talking about.
