Jennifer Lawrence made a rebellious statement against red carpet protocols in her latest Cannes Film Festival appearance.
While hitting the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals on Sunday for the premiere of French film “Anatomie D’une Chute (Anatomy Of A Fall),” Lawrence arrived in a sweeping red silk Dior gown. The Oscar-winning actress‘ custom couture dress featured a sleeveless silhouette with a rounded bodice and flowing flared skirt — instantly reminiscent of her famous red Calvin Klein dress from the 2011 Oscars.

Stylist Jamie Mizrahi paired the piece with a matching draped shrug, as well as a curved swirling diamond collar necklace for added glamour.
However, where footwear was concerned, Lawrence opted to ditch formality entirely for a different shoe choice. Rather than wear stiletto-heeled pumps or sandals — like the gleaming gold set she donned for the “Bread And Roses” photocall earlier in the Festival — the “Hunger Games” star simply slipped on a pair of black rubber flip flops.

Her shoe choice featured thin flat soles topped by thong-style slip-on straps, eschewing formal glamour for unabashed practicality. The unexpected style furthered Lawrence’s renowned humor and relatability, while making a statement that comfort should be prioritized when needed — even on the Cannes red carpet.
