Jennifer Lawrence shows off her dark locks, ruffly blue Dior at TIFF: lovely?

You’ll have to excuse me, but I still haven’t seen The Hunger Games, so I barely have any recollection of seeing Jennifer Lawrence as a brunette in general. She exists permanently in my mind as a blonde. I’m assuming Jennifer has gone back to brunette for Catching Fire, correct? IMDB lists the film as in pre-production, so she’ll probably begin filming shortly, thus brown hair. These are photos of Jennifer at Friday night’s Toronto Film Festival premiere of The Place Beyond The Pines – a film in which she does NOT appear. But Bradley Cooper is in it, and Jennifer and Bradley are in The Silver Linings Playbook, and so… I guess she was just supporting a friend.

Jennifer wore this little Dior dress which is okay. It’s not the best, but I don’t hate it either. The ruffled hem is even kind of cute. Mostly, I’m kind of obsessed with her dark hair, her weird makeup and her lips. How have I never noticed that she has such full lips before now? When you change your hair color drastically, different features suddenly “pop”. For Jennifer, I think she simply looks particularly full-lipped as a brunette.

Meanwhile, Us Weekly says Jennifer was hanging out with Kristen Stewart in Toronto. DUN DUN DUN. The two are either Mean Girl-ing each other constantly in the tabloids, or they’re healthy rivals who manage to remain professional about each other. You decide.

Bella, meet Katniss. Katniss, meet Bella. Kristen Stewart had something to smile about in Toronto on Saturday: While doing press at the Intercontinental Hotel, she happily met Jennifer Lawrence for the very first time.

“People who saw them said they were geeking out about each other,” a source tells Us Weekly of the actresses, both 22 and the heroines of their own globally massive fantasy franchises (Twilight and The Hunger Games). Adds the source: “Kristen and Jennifer told friends they had emailed in the past but had never seen each other face to face. They’re big fans of each other.”

(Oscar nominee Lawrence is at Canada’s massive film festival to promote The Silver Linings Playbook, with Stewart touting her own flick, On the Road.)

Indeed, back in March, Lawrence told Access Hollywood that she had emailed fellow superstar Stewart over a supposed feud.

“I wrote her an email because there was this huge, like, article about a Twilight and Hunger Games feud,” Lawrence said. “And we’ve never met before and never spoken . . . “I just shot her an email, and was like, ‘Hey, can’t wait to see more as this feud unfolds!”

To her surprise, Stewart replied!

“[Kristen] wrote me back, and she was like, ‘It’s fine. Welcome to [our] world where everything you say gets turned into [something it’s not],'” Lawrence said. “So, she understood.”

Stewart, of course, could use a friend right now. Thursday evening was her very first red carpet since her cheating scandal erupted in late July. The Toronto Star noted that, during a Friday interview, Stewart seemed “tense” and “looking considerably thinner and less poised than she did at the Cannes Film Festival in May.” Her estranged boyfriend Robert Pattinson has been in Los Angeles; on Thursday he promoted a new Breaking Dawn: Part 2 trailer at the MTV Video Music Awards, and on Friday, he appeared at the star-studded Stand Up to Cancer telecast.

Hm… interesting. They were “geeking out about each other” and “they’re big fans of each other”? Maybe it’s the truth. Maybe Jennifer and Kristen truly have no hard feelings towards each other and they understand that there’s plenty of room for both of them within the industry. Or maybe they’re not that mature and they were talking about that coveted role in Lie Down In Darkness that both of them really, really want and that Kristen might have already gotten.

    Her lips are really prominent in the Hunger Games – to me atleast – and now that I’ve seen the movie – I can’t picture her as a blonde.

    I can’t wait for Catching Fire!!

    • coral says:

      she’s such a pretty girl, but she’s getting those lips plumped. she had much thinner lips just a couple years back.

  2. RocketMerry says:

    Her skin is flawless! Her make up artist gave her a so-perfect-it’s-unreal complexion.

  3. elsebeth says:

    She’s a beautiful girl, but this is not her best look. The hair is too wild, and the dress looks like a table cloth.

  4. Scorellini says:

    Her dress and shoes are boring and dowdy. Also, I know this cannot be the case, but in these pictures of her it actually looks like she’s had plastic surgery. I guess it’s because of the different hair color, but man she looks different.

  5. yael says:

    good god – those heels. i would stumble all over myself and break my face in them.

  6. Lisa says:

    She has done well to get so far, I find her very plain looking and ordinary.

    • cynicalsmirk says:

      Absolutely true. Very average looking girl, albeit lucky as hell in her career opportunities.

      • Anahata says:

        LOL you wish you looked that good! Ha ha blog posters are hilarious.

      • effy says:

        Tell me about it hon.
        talk is cheap, they say! 🙂

      • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

        Hah really? I think she’s beautiful in a refreshing, natural way. Our idea of beauty has become distorted by all the unnatural processes we’re used to seeing the results of. This girl brings something healthy/new to the table, and I think that should be celebrated. /rant

  7. Fire says:

    Kristen aparently went for soho house later the night where silver linings playbook after party happened and they hang out together. So much for the big rivalry between those 2. People dont hang out with other unless they want to, so…

  8. rosemary says:

    She looks stunning imo (:

  9. Jacquelantern says:

    Her eye makeup makes her whole face look a little off here. I usually find her stunning.

    • Rose says:

      I am glad I wasn’t the only one who thought her eye makeup looks weird. Like all eyeliner, uneven clumpy lashes, and no eye shadow. It looked like it was done by a 13 year old.

    • erika says:

      the EYEs…No.. she’s got Lohan Eyes!!!

      What’s with the crazy/incorrect cat liner? it’s done wrong to start with and this is the trend that HoLoHoBoLohan is doing…
      yuck

      yuck!!!

  10. Scarlet Vixen says:

    I think she looks so much better brunette. Some people just don’t look good with their natural haircolor. She really needs to figure out how to do her eye makeup tho-her eyeliner is beyond tragic.

  11. Tania says:

    I think she looks good. And the girl has talent. She was amazing in Winter’s Bone. KStew? I still feel that her talent is debatable.

    I have to say though, when I saw the dress, I thought to myself, “Marion Cotillard would have looked amazing in that” but that is because she’s so phenomenally beautiful. I dunno?

  12. Blue says:

    I kind of want to pinch her cheeks. I like her dress but those shoes scare the crap out of me.

  13. Jenny says:

    She is young and in this case, dresses very old. The 50s cat eye make-up is not flattering and those shoes–oy vey, they are too much.

  14. WTF says:

    They weren’t hanging out together. Miss Stewart was in a seperate section of the Soho House, acting all important and above the other “emotional wrecks” as she calls her acting rivals.
    People who were there tweeted that Jennifer was with other people while Stewart stayed in a closed area away from the others.

    • Michele says:

      That’s not true. Lainey was also at Soho House last night and saw both girls hanging out together on the third floor which I guess offers more privacy for its celebrity clients. Lainey saw them leave at the same time. She also mentioned that Kristen didn’t leave with her publicist. Maybe the two met, bonded and continued hanging out elsewhere. Or maybe they had a polite chat and just happened to have left at the same time. Who knows but at least they don’t seem to hate eachother like the media likes to hint at all the time.

    • coral says:

      please. There were several folks who saw them talking. I know it makes some people’s day to imagine them as bitter rivals, but both girls have reputations for not being petty mean girl types. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they socialized casually together last night.

    • daria says:

      wtf-your overinvestment to a certain alternate universe is showing.

  15. Britt says:

    Her eye makeup looks awful and she could have had her makeup artist apply some sort of concealer over the bruises on her legs.

    I like her dress.

  16. poodlemom says:

    Oh noooooooo! Another Hollywood actress who is injecting her lips! She looks like a totally different person. Now she has “Kardashiitis!”

  17. Mandy says:

    Gosh, she’s so pretty! AND talented. NOT. FAIR.

  18. liz says:

    She’s lucky that light and dark hair suits her so well, I love brunette hair but looked so washed out when i tried it dark.
    The dress is very cute, nice lenght and a great shape on her . The shoes are crazy high.

  19. Danziger says:

    No. No no no no no. No amount of talent and debatable looks can make her make-up beautiful, and I personally feel that the dark hair colour washes her out.
    The dress is adorable, though.

  20. stellalovejoydiver says:

    I love her, but she´s very much hit and miss when it´s come to red carpet, mostly because she does have a serious case of butterface. Also her make-up is horrid, clumped eyelashes and the light pink lip coulour, ugh.
    Concerning the Kristen Stewart bit, I think they´re nothing more than healthy rivals, so JLaw, and other young actresses, prob have some schadenfreude about the KStew´s mini-coopering, esp since JLaw also auditioned for Twilight.

  21. PrettyTarheel says:

    That body is sick. I would kill and walk all over people to be built like that…
    Guess I’ll settle for continuing to work out every morning.

  22. Leaf says:

    Love the hair and the dress! Gorgeous.

  23. Lucy2 says:

    She looks cute, but not spectacular. I’d imagine she and Kristen are friendly to each other but there is some professional rivalry- of which J is clearly the more talented.
    I just finally watched Hunger Games though and didn’t get what all the fuss was about. She was really good but I thought the movie itself was mediocre and kind of weird.

    • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

      Yay!! Another person who doesn’t rave about THG. I think that movie was completely over rated.

      @Kaiser: You’re not missing anything. It wasn’t as great as it was hyped to be. I also though The Avengers was over rated too.

      I’m so happy to get that off my chest lol.

      • ZenB!tch says:

        Wait for it, I thought the movie was fine but I HATED THE BOOK! I dragged myself through book 1 and just could not get thru the other 2. Zzzzz…

  24. mercy says:

    Hair is too dark, and she needs too lose the cat eye makeup. It doesn’t do her small eyes any favours. Her lips are naturally full. One of her best features. The dress is plain, but cute. It would look better with different shoes, and the color would look nicer with blonde or black hair and paler skin.

    • blasted1 says:

      Yeah. I basically like the brunette, but she needs to fire the “stylist” who messed up her hair-style and the eyes are done badly and her pretty face is way too shiny and BEIGE.

  25. KelBear says:

    Catching Fire is my favorite book from the trilogy. I think Hunger Games turned out to be a great movie so I am excited to see how Catching Fire turns out.

    I love Jennifer as a brunette but thats probably just the HG fan in me.

  26. Shitler says:

    Good. Kristen could do with a friend like Jennifer.

  27. pinchofsalt says:

    She is beautiful, whether her hair is light or dark. Loved her in Winter’s Bone. Great career ahead I think.

  28. Isa says:

    I normally love cat eye make up but it’s not working here. It makes her eyes look small and unsymmetrical.
    I think she looks better as a brunette but normally when women can switch between the two I prefer Blonde.
    Her lips were that big in the hunger games. And her hairstyle does her no favors. She’s pretty and has a great body but there’s always something off about her styling.

  29. Zigggy says:

    Love the makeup, her skin, the dark hair and the beautiful colour of that dress. Great look! She should have fun with makeup while she’s young.

  30. Mary says:

    If karma has its way, Kristen Stewart just met Robert Pattinson’s next girlfriend… kidding!

  31. bettyrose says:

    Welcome to the dark side, Jen! She looks great this way. She’s too washed out with blonde hair.

  32. g tz says:

    that dress is soo kim kardashian without the boobs

  33. Amanda G says:

    Her eye makeup is dreadful, but I like her dress and hair. She’s kind of a unique beauty.

  34. Reece says:

    She NEEDS a new makeup person! They DO NOT know what they are doing! Her makeup is too pink & soft for her hair and the dress. It’s reflecting the flash & washing her face out. They need to match her foundation to her under tones! It’s white! You can have rich color but still wear “light”, “nude” makeup that would highlight her features. She’s so damn beautiful and they never get her makeup right!

    Rant Not Over. I’m going to get caffeine!

  35. Fudge you, I'm going to Guam! says:

    She looks like a young Renee Zellwegger and it’s funny because during an interview Jennifer said her favorite actress is Renee!
    She must know she resembles her….

  36. serena says:

    Horrible make up and duck-face.

  37. Mara says:

    She is a lovely actress and very talented to.

  38. stephanie says:

    the cat’s eye is way too much.

  39. Bex says:

    <3 her so, so much as a brunette. It's much more flattering on her skintone than her usual honey-blonde.

  40. carly says:

    her face looks more chubby and puffy with that horrible make up, girl get a new make up artist ASAP!!

    I lije that she was hanging out with Kristen, why should there be drama between them? I would love for them to become besties just to see how the fans react lol

  41. Daisy says:

    She’s adorable.
    I just saw Winter’s Bone, finally, and damn she was wonderful!

    • bettyrose says:

      OMG, read the book if you haven’t. It’s so much more complex than the movie, but she was perfect casting, just as she was in Hunger Games (which is a weirdly similar story line).

  42. deehunny says:

    everything in this story, including the dress and makeup, is meh

  43. Sienna says:

    I love her lips and her skin here. The dark hair suits her and makes her face look stronger and less round (but maybe she lost some weight?)

  44. dahlia says:

    Say what you want about either of them, but both kstew and jlaw don’t strike me as catty, passive-aggressive types. They both have that tomboy thing going and I could see them getting along, even if they do fight for the same parts. I think them hanging out is cute.

  45. connie says:

    UGH, the makeup artists always make her look so wonk-eyed cause they insist on trying to make her eyes look bigger with either cat eyes or heaving lid makeup. They do this cause she has very small eyes and thin lids. Unfortunately the heavy makeup just makes her look like she has a stray eye. she looks MUCH better when the makeup is not fighting mother nature and she is allowed to have her eyes be more natural. She’s 22 she doesn’t need Joan Collins eye makeup for crissakes.

  46. nina says:

    shrugs..

    I like them both. Both are pretty but quirky looking and both have a lot of shit come out of their mouths that gets them in trouble.

    I imagine them both having weird conversations that would be entertaining.

  47. Beth says:

    I love her, but I really don’t care for that eye makeup look. Eye liner should be used cautiously, and I think it really only looks good in a smoky eye technique. Eye liner by itself with no shadow effect just looks weird.

    She’s so beautiful, so it’s too bad she has bad makeup.

  48. Beatriz says:

    Sigh. She is so beautiful!

  49. ZenB!tch says:

    I usually like her but NO! NO! NO! The dress is dumpy, her make up is hideous and she has a bruise on her leg.

  50. A says:

    Jennifer is a fabulous actress, although Saoirse Ronan is still the queen of young actresses in my opinion. Looks like she will be getting another Oscar nom. I thought she looked FAR better the second night in a different outfit. This doesn’t suit her all.

    As someone before said, say what you want about Kristen (and Jennifer, for some) but neither one ever came across as passive aggressive or catty. Both have made a comment or two about other actors in general being this way or that way, but so have Emma Stone, Emma Watson, etc. Never took it as a particular dig at anyone. Plus, Roger Friedman wrote about how he saw them hanging out for a while and that he chatted with them briefly. Roger is not a KStew fan, although he thinks the backlash over the affair is way over the top, so he wouldn’t be PR fronting for KStew. Jennifer may grate at times on me (the I hate myself I’m horrible got old fast), but she’s intelligent and mature. She’d be a good acquaintance/friend for KStew, as KStew could take some major tips.

  51. Isabella Notarfrancesco says:

    Winter’s Bone was better than HG. It’s a shame she’ll be remembered for the latter.

  52. Ranunculus says:

    I don’t get her appeal really, I don’t find her particularly talented. Like Emma Stone she is just one of those IT girls who are being hyped up by HW. Her styling here is not good. If she was wearing a bra underneath the dress it was the wrong one. Her make up is more suitable for a Halloween party than the red carpet and she does not necessary have great legs. She should work with a better stylist.

  53. HillbillyintheCorner says:

    As a member to the cat eyed generation of gals 60’s that eye makeup is so wrongly done…and doesn’t do her any flavors makes her eyes look to small..and her lips were full but now that full ..
    All together shes pleasent looking but not a outstanding beauty or anything…but at least she isn’t a skinny assed Barbie Doll like most Hollywood starlets become clones of each other but give her time for the image makers to get their hands on her and she will start looking like all the rest…she will be as someone else said Kardashionized….

  54. M. says:

    I doubt very much that Jennifer Lawrence will be Kardashianed……(LOL)!. I think Lawrence is a beautiful woman with a gorgeous figure. What I love most about Lawrence is how she is able to keep herself so grounded amidst the attention she is receiving. A marvelous actress and she seems very likeable. That is all that matters to me.

  55. Sunnygal says:

    She is beautiful and very young and innocent looking in a girl next door kind of way. She is in great shape!

  56. Raynor says:

    I love everything about her, ever since she blew my mind in Winter’s Bone. That girl has talent to burn.

    I don’t love the eye make up either, but I think the dress shows off her amazing physique.
