Jennifer Lawrence'S Governors Awards Fashion: A Gown With A Twist

Red Carpet Glamour at the Governors Awards

Hollywood has a way of serving up some memorable fashion moments, and the recent Governors Awards in Tinseltown was no exception. Celebrities glittered in their finest, turning heads and setting social media ablaze with opinions. Among them, Jennifer Lawrence, who is no stranger to the red carpet spotlight, found herself at the center of chatter thanks to her daring Dior ensemble.

On November 16, 2025, Lawrence donned a stunning white off-the-shoulder gown by Dior for the big night at the Ray Dolby Ballroom. Designed by Jonathan Anderson, the dress combined elements of old Hollywood glamour with a modern twist – and a twist is exactly what caught fans' eyes. With its intricate mix of white and ivory fabrics and a dramatic thigh-high slit, the gown was meant to wow. But not everyone was on board with the look.

“It’s giving a bit of ‘I went to the bathroom and when I came back, I didn’t realize I accidentally tucked my dress into my underwear’ no?” commented one fashion enthusiast on Vogue France’s video.

The Dress that Divided Opinions

Social media critiques were quick and unfiltered. People noticed a unique twist in the gown's design – a pleated fabric draped from the corset under the skirt. While some loved the avant-garde approach, others felt it missed the mark. A fan posted on "Good Morning America"'s clip of Lawrence, saying, "Love her but that dress looks like it’s stuck in her drawers."

This wasn't the first fashion gamble for Lawrence with Jonathan Anderson. Her recent appearances at the Rome Film Festival in October had similarly split opinions. There, she wore an oversized sweater and a sheer skirt, also by Anderson, which had fans debating whether it hit the style mark.

Fashion Hits and Misses

Jonathan Anderson, newly appointed creative director for Dior, has been pushing boundaries. His work on Lawrence's gown was inspired by his ready-to-wear collection, but with a creative twist that resulted in the controversial thigh slit.

Despite some online comments comparing the look to a child's play with a bed sheet, Lawrence continues to embrace bold fashion choices, showcasing pieces that spark conversation and redefine red carpet norms.
