Jennifer Lawrence proved black and brown look great together, actually

When I wear brown, I look like the poop emoji. But Jennifer Lawrence, who has been spotted gallivanting around Manhattan all summer in inspiring warm-weather outfits, has managed to make the all-brown ensemble incredibly chic. 

Strutting about New York City on Tuesday, August 2, the Oscar-winning actor wore a mocha-colored knit maxidress. The ’90s-inspired piece has a scoop neckline and a fitted bodice with a skirt that’s perfectly airy for a hot summer day (it was a charming and humid 88 degrees in NYC yesterday). 

Lawrence paired the dress with accessories in various coordinating shades of brown—her strappy flat sandals are a warm caramel, and her black bag has cognac-colored straps. She wore a pair of brown tortoiseshell sunglasses with rectangle-shaped frames to keep the ’90s theme consistent, and added a layered necklace. She and wore her long blonde hair down and in a side part and added a glossy, summery lip. 

The biggest takeaway from her neutrals-on-neutrals look? Black and brown do go together, and my mom cannot tell me (or J.Law) otherwise.

Jennifer Lawrence was not walking around New York in this outfit alone. She was accompanied by visionary French director Leos Carax, who directed 2021’s Annette. You know, the musical with the puppet baby and the Adam Driver oral sex scene? Whatever they discussed, we look forward to what J.Law does next.
