Jennifer Lawrence Rocks Studded “Janis” Pumps With Edgy Turnlock Hardware Dress

In November 2013, Jennifer Lawrence joined a growing list of stars—including Keri Russell—who’ve embraced the edgy elegance of Saint Laurent’s “Janis” pumps. At the Catching Fire Rome photocall, Lawrence paired the studded stilettos with a turnlock hardware dress for a look that was equal parts modern and fierce.

As part of her European press tour for the film, the Oscar-winning actress showcased a series of standout looks—from a sleek Dior gown in London to a vibrant Alexander McQueen dress in Madrid.

For the Rome event, she wore a structured black Proenza Schouler frock featuring signature turnlock hardware and a striking yellow suede front panel. This look echoed the fierce, utilitarian aesthetic of her character, Katniss Everdeen.

Lawrence completed the ensemble with edgy Graziela Gems ear cuffs and Saint Laurent’s studded “Janis” pumps, a high-fashion favorite known for their towering heel, platform base, and micro-studded t-strap design.

Jennifer Lawrence’s studded Saint Laurent “Janis” pumps weren’t just a perfect match for her edgy Proenza Schouler dress—they also reflected one of the most popular designer footwear trends of the early 2010s.

Since their debut, the “Janis” pumps have been a red carpet staple, known for their sleek silhouette, sky-high platform, and micro-studded detailing.

Several celebrities have embraced different versions of this bold design. Heidi Klum gave them a rock-glam twist, while Ariana Grande styled them with her signature feminine flair.

Keri Russell demonstrated how to elevate classic black pumps with rocker-chic flair at the “PaleyFest: Made in New York” panel for The Americans. She wore black studded Saint Laurent “Janis” pumps, pairing them with sleek leather pants and a minimalist black top.

Adding a bold touch, Keri layered on a metallic blue Balenciaga jacket that echoed her vibrant blue eyeliner, subtly coordinating elements that enhanced the overall edge of her look. The combination of high-shine textures and streamlined silhouettes created a polished yet rebellious ensemble that perfectly balanced structure and style.

For some additional oomph, the actress wore a pair of Saint Laurent “Janis” pumps, which we’d already seen on her before.

These edgy leather pumps feature 5-inch square heels and 1-inch platforms, designed to add both height and impact. The pointed toes and t-straps are adorned with faceted micro-studded silver embellishments, giving them a rebellious yet refined look. While this exact version has become a collector’s favorite, you can still find updated “Janis”-inspired styles and Saint Laurent platform pumps at luxury retailers like Farfetch and Nordstrom.
