In a throwback to one of her most memorable style moments, Jennifer Lawrence dazzled at the X-Men: Days of Future Past world premiere back in May 2014 — proving even a decade later why her red carpet choices remain unforgettable.
Fresh off being spotted in a pair of sleek Tom Ford ankle boots just weeks prior, the then–23-year-old actress upped the glamour in a velvet chiffon Jason Wu gown. She was joined on the carpet by her co-star and then-boyfriend, Nicholas Hoult, making it a moment that blended blockbuster buzz with high-fashion finesse.

Jennifer’s red carpet moment came courtesy of a velvet chiffon jacquard bias slip dress from Jason Wu’s Fall/Winter 2014 collection. This piece perfectly captured the designer’s knack for marrying sensuality with structure. Unveiled at New York Fashion Week, the collection was a masterclass in Wu’s signature elegance with a modern edge. Think a moody neutral palette of deep black, champagne, and faded blue-grey, punctuated by burgundy accents; slinky velvet gowns; and sharp, menswear-inspired tailoring.
Wu played with contrasts, pairing sturdy, military-inspired outerwear with delicate eveningwear — like the now-iconic black angora coat draped over a grape panne velvet slip gown. Luxe fabrics, sequined floor-length dresses, and strategic cut-outs kept the mood glamorous yet powerful.
Described by Wu himself as “couture meets North Face,” the collection embodied a confident woman who’s as comfortable commanding a boardroom as she is turning heads on the red carpet — a sentiment Jennifer embodied flawlessly that night.

She completed the look with Ana Khouri jewelry, a sleek black Kotur clutch, and one of Jimmy Choo’s most timeless designs — the mirrored pewter leather “Lance” sandal.
Part of the brand’s coveted 24:7 collection, the Lance is a wardrobe essential that has graced countless red carpets thanks to its blend of elegance and all-day wearability.

Crafted in Italy, the style is defined by slender, buckled ankle straps and delicate leather bands that frame the foot with barely-there sophistication. Its mirrored stiletto heel — typically standing at 100–115 mm (about 4–4.5 inches) — delivers instant leg-lengthening appeal, while the metallic finish catches the light from every angle.
From Hollywood red carpets to Cannes glamour, the Jimmy Choo “Lance” has become a go-to for A-listers seeking timeless elegance with a hint of sparkle. Here are some of the most memorable celebrity moments featuring this iconic sandal:
