Jennifer Lawrence paired one of her most memorable metallic red-carpet gowns with an understated pair of Jimmy Choo sandals at the UK premiere of Mother! on September 6, 2017, at Odeon Leicester Square in London.
The actress wore an Atelier Versace Fall 2017 couture gown constructed from intricate metallic chainwork, creating a semi-sheer, web-like effect over a strategically lined bodice. With its plunging neckline, open back, and floor-length silhouette, the dress carried most of the visual detail, making Lawrence’s minimalist silver Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandals a natural complement.

The Atelier Versace gown’s intricate metallic construction created the appearance of delicate chainmail, while nude lining through the bodice provided coverage beneath the open weave. Lawrence kept the rest of the styling restrained, skipping statement jewelry and wearing her hair in a textured updo with smoky eye makeup and a glossy nude lip.
On her feet were Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandals in metallic silver leather. It was a familiar shoe for Lawrence: she had worn the same silver Minny style with a red Mugler tuxedo mini dress during The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2 press tour in Madrid in 2015. The sandal’s narrow toe strap, slim ankle strap, and stiletto heel kept the footwear visually light beneath the elaborate Versace gown.
At 5’7½” (171.5 cm), with a reported US shoe size 10.5, Jennifer Lawrence has repeatedly worn high stilettos on the red carpet despite speaking candidly over the years about finding heels uncomfortable. The Minny fits a recurring pattern in her evening footwear: streamlined sandals that add height without competing with a statement gown.
Lawrence has frequently returned to Jimmy Choo for that purpose. She wore the brand’s more intricately strapped Lance sandals with a velvet Jason Wu gown at the 2014 X-Men: Days of Future Past premiere, while crystal-embellished Jimmy Choo Pearl platform sandals accompanied her silver Christian Dior gown at the X-Men: Apocalypse fan screening in London in 2016. Together, the looks show how she has moved between barely-there straps and more substantial platforms while repeatedly using metallic Jimmy Choo heels for evening dressing.

The Minny’s pared-back construction is a classic example of the ankle-strap heel: an open toe, minimal front strap, ankle fastening, and slender heel. With so little material covering the foot, the silhouette can sit quietly beneath an embellished or floor-length dress rather than introducing another focal point.
Jimmy Choo has produced numerous variations on that red-carpet formula, from barely-there sandals to pointed pumps and embellished evening shoes. Our guide to the most iconic Jimmy Choo shoes traces the house’s enduring silhouettes and the celebrity looks that helped establish its red-carpet reputation.
On the red carpet, Lawrence also discussed the emotional demands of Mother! and working with director Darren Aronofsky. The psychological horror film became one of the most divisive major releases of 2017, drawing sharply contrasting reactions from audiences and critics.
