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.
