10 Years Ago, Jennifer Lawrence Wore A Cutout Gown To The Golden Globes

The only thing more enjoyable than watching Jennifer Lawrence’s films is watching her navigate awards shows. It’s pure entertainment. Who can forget her viral post-win interview moments or her comedic acceptance speeches (e.g., her singsong “I beat Meryl” at the 2014 Golden Globes)?

Many of her most-widely circulated moments involve her fashion. Like the Hunger Games alum, her style is prize-worthy (yes, even when she trips on them). Although decadent ballgowns have become synonymous with her awards show style, the one look I personally think is her most underrated is the cherry-red number she wore to the Golden Globes in 2016.

J.Law’s Cutout Dress

By this point, the then-25-year-old Lawrence had already been a veteran at the film- and television-centric ceremony, having bagged two acting wins for Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle. For her third appearance, she was nominated for her role in Joy, the David O. Russell-directed Joy Mangano biopic. (Spoiler alert: She won Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy.)

Instead of wearing her usual voluminous, princess-y numbers, the Don’t Look Up star switched it up with something much sleeker, marking the beginning of her minimalist era. The longtime Dior ambassador wore a custom-made gown from the French label, which was a sleeveless column in striking crimson.

Forgoing the usual straight-cut dress, it had the layered look, with a crop top overlay and a dress underneath that featured a massive waist cutout on each side.

A Moment For Her Diamonds

Since the gown’s silhouette was relatively simple, Lawrence amped up the jewelry. Around her neck, she wore a glamorous bib collar necklace from Chopard, made entirely out of blinding diamonds. Elsewhere, she kept everything simple, with barely there makeup and her hair in a bun.

Her After-Party Dress

To celebrate her win, she attended the after-party co-hosted by Fox and FX in more comfortable attire. Dressed in Versace, she wore a slip dress in black, accented with blue and silver floral embroideries.

She completed the look with heeled sandals and an embroidered clutch. Her bob was styled with side-swept bangs, proving just how trendy the “cheugy” part was.
