Jennifer Lawrence stepped onto the red carpet at the Governors Awards, turning heads in a Dior gown designed by Jonathan Anderson. The dress, a mix of white and ivory fabrics, featured a tight corset under pleated silk and a thigh slit. While some admired the creativity, others couldn't help but notice the unusual draping. One observer joked that the dress looked like it was tucked into her underwear. Another compared it to a child's makeshift gala dress.

This wasn't the first time Lawrence and Anderson's fashion choices raised eyebrows. Earlier, at the Rome Film Festival, she wore a brown oversized sweater with a sheer cream skirt from Anderson's spring 2026 collection. The public found it too casual for a red carpet event.

Anderson, now the sole creative director for Dior's women's, men's, and haute couture collections, has a bold vision. His designs often push boundaries, but not everyone is on board. The Governors Awards gown, inspired by his ready-to-wear collection, had a gray counterpart without the thigh slit. This version kept the skirt closed, showing a different take on the same theme.

Fashion is subjective, and what one person sees as art, another might see as a misstep. Lawrence's choice to wear Anderson's designs, despite mixed reactions, shows her willingness to take risks. It's a reminder that fashion is about expression, and sometimes, that means stepping outside the box.
