love it or leave it?


I haven't always been Jennifer Lawrence's biggest cheerleader. There have been times where her red carpet style simply hasn't wowed me. In the last several months, however, Jennifer's style has been on point. (Which is exactly why this is the second time the actress is being featured in my love it or leave it? feature!) She recently wore a stunning sheer black dress at the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards that I simply had to post about.



What I Love:

Let's start with the hair and makeup - perfection! The sophisticated wavy hair paired with that dramatic smokey eye and nude lip really help to accent how sexy and sleek this red carpet look really is. Now for the actual dress. I absolutely cannot get over how gorgeous the top of this dress is. Everything from where the sleeves cut to the sheer top and ribbed detail that goes down the length of the dress...beautiful and sultry. This gives amazing shape to her body, all while maintaining a flirty and fun style through the belled out bottom of the dress. I love it!

What I Loathe:

As much as I am loving this red carpet look overall, there are a couple of things I don't love quite so much. Like those baby pink nails and rust coloured ring. Either would have been fine on their own, but together, it creates an odd colour combination. The other no-no? Those shoes! I hate the way they cut across at the ankle. It doesn't suit this dress at all. Something with a more classic style would have looked a million times better.

Overall, I really fell for Jennifer Lawrence's dress, hair, and makeup. Unfortunately, the accessories left something to be desired!

What do you think of Jennifer's red carpet look? Love it or leave it?

  4. I don't like her body, cannot tell exactly what's wrong with it, but any dress, no matter how beautiful looks awkward on her. She has something that I resent very much, not one of my favorites at all!But the dress is nice!:)

  7. I adore Jennifer Lawrence. Everything about her. And love her new do - even though I think she rocked her long hair. She can do no wrong in my style book.

  8. i think her hair and makeup look amazing. But the skirt of her dress seems to flare out at a weird point...like maybe it should be shorter or something? I dunno, but she looks good.

  23. I actually love Jennifer Lawrence, I feel that is she is a REAL beautiful girl.
    But, that aside I totally agree with you about the awful shoe choice.
    They most def do not suit that dress. The straps don't work for the cut of the dress.
    But anyways, loving you blog.
    Perhaps you would like to exchange follows?
    Best,

  28. Huh...I like her dress but I don't think I would ever wear it! It's kind of got a space-age-ness to it? But I actually like the pink-give the overall look a pop of color!
    Hugs & Kisses,
