Jennifer Lawrence's 23 Best And Worst Red Carpet Looks Of All Time, Because We Love Her Even More When She's Not Perfect

Though this black and white ensemble would be perfectly acceptable for running errands on a casual saturday afternoon, it is decidedly less than impressive on the red carpet.

I’m torn between feelings of immense respect towards J.Law for channeling an entirely unexpected bohemian vibe on the red carpet, and confusion at the clashing accessories the ensemble is paired with. Peep toe heels seem like an odd choice for a flower child-inspired look.

Though the blue silk of this gown is a lovely shade against Lawrence’s hair and skin tone, the garment is so baggy it appears to have been fitted to someone else’s shape.

Lawrence’s cascading curls and crimson lips accent her metallic gown perfectly. The actress could have chosen a dress in a richer hue, and less clunky heels, but for a budding starlet the ensemble is perfectly polished.

Lawrence channeled grecian glamour at the the 2010 Hollywood Film Festival in a delicate, draped white floor-length gown.

Though I’m shocked this embroidered navy and black Stella McCartney stunner hasn’t secured a place in red carpet history, I’m convinced the chest-baring fit had something to do with its lack of acclaim.

What could be more classically chic than a ruched white dress with a waist-defining black ribbon for the red carpet?

I dare anyone to find fault in this streamlined Calvin Klein column and Lawrence’s complementary, cascading waves.

Lawrence looked beautifully breezy in white Dolce & Gabbana at the 2011 Independent Spirit Awards.

Though Lawrence would likely stun in the most ghastly of ensembles, there are looks that the star simply shouldn’t wear. And this overwhelming graphic printed dress with its matching belt and shoes is one of them.

Call me crazy, but I find this ruffled black and blue Golden Globes gown overwhelmed Lawrence’s natural beauty with its bells and whistles.

Sure, this ensemble is essentially a black satin coat dress and heels, but the look was underwhelming.

I love this tie-dyed strapless dress in theory, but paired with stick-straight black locks and a statement lip, it lost some of its luster.

Lawrence was literally Hollywood’s Golden Girl at the premiere of The Hunger Games in 2012 while clad in gilded Prabal Gurung.

Lawrence could easily be mistaken for her X-Men character Mystique in this blue peekaboo dress.

The cut, color, and shape of this simple pleated dress are ideal for Lawrence, though the actress does have a proclivity for daringly dipped necklines.

In The Dior Dress Heard Round The World, Lawrence bared quite a bit of leg. Though J.Law rocked more flattering looks before and after this one, she deserves credit for selecting a gown no one else dared to touch.

Lawrence quite literally glowed in her pastel Dior confection when she accepted her Oscar for Best Actress (and not because of her now-infamous trip on the way up to the stage).

The actress looked modern and chic in a white crop top and flared skirt on her press tour for Catching Fire.

This disco ball of a Dior column perfectly mirrored the star’s edgy new ‘do at the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Lawrence’s 2014 Oscars gown may not have been a dazzling mass of embroidery and embellishment, but its brilliant crimson shade and slim silhouette struck the perfect note of modern sophistication.

Not every ensemble can be a slam dunk, as we learned from Jennifer Lawrence’s much-parodied black and white Dior gown at the 2014 Golden Globes. But hey, it's these missteps that make us love her even more.
