While attending the New York premiere of her upcoming black comedy-drama Die My Love, in which she portrays a young mother experiencing psychological distress and loneliness, Jennifer leaned into the film’s darker tone. She brought that same mood to the red carpet.

The American actress wore a custom Dior gown that radiated quiet power and drama, paired with sleek Manolo Blahnik pumps that added timeless sophistication. Her appearance gave a classy, subtle nod to the film’s darker themes.
Dark Elegance: Jennifer Lawrence Channels Modern Gothic Glamour in Dior
At the AMC Lincoln Square Theater, Jennifer Lawrence commanded attention in a sculptural black Dior gown designed by Jonathan Anderson. The off-the-shoulder silhouette featured bold architectural folds, giving the timeless black dress a striking, modern dimension.
Tailored to perfection, the fitted bodice flattered her figure before cascading into a floor-length skirt with a daring thigh-high slit.
Though minimal at first glance, the impeccable construction and clean lines revealed an understated elegance that gave the gown its commanding presence.
Many weren’t too impressed with her previous Dior look at the movie’s Rome premiere, which felt too understated for the occasion.
This time, Anderson delivered a true red-carpet triumph—one that embodied Dior’s timeless elegance while channeling a darker, more commanding energy perfectly suited to Jennifer’s new cinematic era.

Bold Gothic Details: David Webb Choker and Emerald Statement Ring
To keep the all-black look from feeling too safe, Jennifer added a black enamel choker by David Webb featuring diamond-encrusted links. The bold piece instantly added just the right amount of gothic edge to the clean lines of her dress. She complemented it with a Yi Collection Pyramid Large Ring in 18k yellow gold set with a 2.36-carat emerald, along with her Alison Lou custom engagement ring.
Her hairstylist, Gregory Russell, went for a straight, side-parted style that kept the focus on the gown’s dramatic neckline. Makeup artist Georgie Eisdell completed the look with smoky eyes, rosy blush, and a rich red lip that added just the right amount of drama.

Classic With a Twist: Manolo Blahnik “Carolyne” Pumps Ground the Look
Jennifer finished the look with Manolo Blahnik “Carolyne” pumps. Made in Italy from black suede, the pointed-toe pumps featured slim slingback straps and 3-inch heels that gave her posture an elegant lift.
She also wore this style with a custom Dior gown at the premiere of No Hard Feelings and with a black-and-white polka-dot strapless Dior gown at the 2024 Oscars.
The suede texture softened the sharp lines of her gown, keeping the overall look elegant. The shoes added a touch of timeless femininity while maintaining the modern, gothic mood of her ensemble. You can get them for $895 at Mytheresa.
The “Carolyne” Legacy: Manolo Blahnik’s Most Enduring Slingback Icon
Before diving into how celebrities have styled it, it’s worth remembering why the “Carolyne” remains one of the house’s most beloved creations. Debuting in 1986, the “Carolyne” perfectly captures the balance between poise and practicality—a pointed-toe slingback with an elasticized strap for comfort and a signature kitten-to-mid heel that transitions effortlessly from day to evening.
What many don’t know: it was named after the American socialite, author, and interior designer Carolyne Roehm, who inspired the shoe’s refined, timeless silhouette.
Crafted in everything from supple suede and luminous satin to exotic leathers and linens, the Carolyne remains a global symbol of refined femininity and enduring craftsmanship.

Cozy Fall Chic: Jennifer Lawrence in The Row and Croc Pumps at Longines Opening
A few days before the Die My Love premiere, Jennifer Lawrence stepped out for the opening of Longines’ new store in New York City. As one of the brand’s ambassadors since 2022, it was only fitting that she attended the event—and she did so in true autumn fashion.
J.Law wore a look from The Row’s Spring 2026 collection, featuring a chocolate-brown knit sweater layered with a matching detachable scarf, casually draped over her shoulders. The oversized fit wasn’t the most flattering, but it captured The Row’s signature effortless, minimalist vibe.
She paired it with a simple black knee-length skirt, balancing the cozy top half with something structured and classic. The brown and black pairing isn’t my favorite combination, but I get the intention—it’s understated, neutral, and very fall-appropriate.

Subtle Luxe Touches: Diamond Details and Croc Pumps Elevate the Look
Jennifer elevated her muted outfit with jewelry that added just the right amount of shine. She wore her Yi Collection Pyramid Large Ring and engagement ring, along with two pairs of earrings: one, the $11,150 Jessica McCormack “Rush Hour ’til Late” diamond earrings in 18k white gold with two 0.30-carat round brilliant-cut diamonds, and the other, the Sophie Buhai “Audrey” faux-pearl drops, on sale for $540 (from $600 at Ssense). Of course, she completed the look with a Longines “Primaluna Moonphase” watch, featuring 58 diamonds around the stainless steel case and a soft ivory dial.
She rounded off the look with dark brown croc-embossed pumps featuring almond toes and high heels, adding a touch of polish to the otherwise relaxed outfit. The actress added layered anklets, featuring a mix of gold and beaded styles, for a playful finish.

Effortless Street Style: Jennifer Lawrence Masters Cozy City Dressing
A day before the Longines store opening, Jennifer Lawrence was spotted out and about in New York City, bundled up for the chilly fall weather. Far from her glamorous red-carpet looks, this outfit felt relaxed and relatable, something I love about Jennifer’s off-duty style!
She wore the $1,150 Almada Label “Deja” double coat, crafted from a black cashmere and wool blend. The long, structured silhouette featured a double-breasted front, welt pockets, and padded shoulders, adding a touch of refinement to the laid-back look.
She paired it with the Loewe red technical jersey track pants, which had a loose fit and a side herringbone ribbon for that perfect casual-luxe mix.
Her accessories pulled everything together. Jennifer wrapped a $333 Shahkaar “Two Leaves” pashmina shawl around her neck. Its dual shades of pink and red added a pop of color against the dark coat. It also featured stripes on one side and classic checks on the other.

Cool Finishing Touches: Retro Sneakers and Luxe Accessories
J.Law topped off the outfit with a beige Loro Piana “Fobello” beanie and sleek Dmy by Dmy “Juno” sunglasses, giving the outfit that effortless cool factor. She then carried the $565 Gimaguas “Maxi Franca” bag in khaki suede, featuring a studded shoulder strap and an external pocket, adding a touch of texture and contrast.
To finish her outfit, Jennifer slipped into Nike’s “V2K Run” sneakers. These retro-inspired trainers featured a chunky silhouette that nodded to the early 2000s, complete with layered metallic panels, mesh uppers, and translucent plastic details reminiscent of the brand’s classic Vomero 5 design.
They added a nostalgic, sporty finish to the outfit while keeping it practical for city strolling. You can get them for $101 at Farfetch.
