I cannot even imagine the stress of having to get dressed for a Women’s Wear Daily event. Those are some of the bitchiest fashion people in the world! In Jennifer Lawrence’s case, her choice was to keep it very simple and on-theme. J-Law attended the Women’s Wear Daily Honors in NYC on Tuesday, and she was there to present an award to Dior’s artistic director Maria Grazia Chiuri. So Jen just wore a simple, black Dior dress.

While I get this look for the event, in general it’s kind of a snooze. The top would be better without forcing the off-the-shoulder thing. I can’t stand the “unhemmed” look of the skirt either. This could have been a perfectly flattering black sweater and black pencil skirt, but instead Dior had to make it “funky” for the “kids.” Jen was styled well though – I like the slicked-back hair/half-chignon and the statement earrings. The red lip works well too.

J-Law’s raunchy comedy No Hard Feelings just dropped on Netflix this week and it’s already a streaming hit. Hopefully, that film will have made enough money to justify a return to mid-budget comedies, whenever the SAG-AFTRA strike is over.
