For today’s celebrities, there are two popular options when getting dressed: wear head-to-toe The Row or dress in “a pop of red”. It helps, too, if the outfit involves a ballet slipper or some kind of unusual flat. This is something Jennifer Lawrence (and her stylist Jamie Mizrahi) know all too well. Last night for a date with her husband, the actor wore a scarlet-hued, off-the-shoulder knit with high-waisted jeans and a pair of velveteen flats.

With her cropped-at-the-ankle denim and sensible flats, Jennifer Lawrence veered perilously close to the Charlotte Olympia aesthetic of 2013. Aka, that which saw celebrities like Taylor Swift and Alexa Chung wear kitty-faced loafers on the red carpet as if to say: “Yes, let me sit you down and tell you quite a long anecdote about what my pet cat did this morning! You will think it’s quirky and quite unexpected of me!”

But Lawrence’s outfit was less mawkish, and just a little more glamorous than back then. Partly because she assembled the look with a lopsided Aupen bag and a tennis necklace and a Belperron wrist cuff. . Partly because she assembled the look with a lopsided Aupen bag and a tennis necklace and a Tiffany & Co x Elsa Peretti wrist cuff. But also because the cat-lady-sweater exposed a cross-section of her braless torso. It’s all about “caring enough without caring too much,” as Mizrahi said. “Cool, classic and elegant”.
