Not a very well-supported actress! Oscar hopeful Jennifer Lawrence sparkles in a low-cut sequinned gown
|
They say that fortune favours the brave.
And it seems Jennifer Lawrence follows this maxim if her outfit at the Hollywood Reporter Oscar Nominees Night in Beverly Hills is anything to go by.
The best actress nominee stole the show thanks to her cleavage bearing sequined number, which drew attention to her ample curves.
Stealing the show: Jennifer Lawrence outshone her best actress Oscar rivals at The Hollywood Reporter's Nominee's Night in Beverly Hills on Monday
Quick change: Jennifer looked equally impressive in her beaded gown at the evening event and the Oscars luncheon earlier that day
It meant she had won an important, but in no way decisive, victory against her rivals for the much coveted trophy.

The Best Actress nominee said on Monday night at the annual pre-Oscars nominees luncheon that fashion wise she plans to go all out this year.
Dressed in a white ruffled strapless gown she said: 'Last time was comfort. This year I’m like, "Suck it up. Wear a corset." I’m going to go for fashion this time.
'I saw that, but that’s the problem with the Oscars. They’re always at the end and you are exhausted from dressing up.
'Eating normally calms me down. I remember before the Oscars I was wearing that skintight dress and I ate a Philly cheese steak and fries and was like, ‘This is definitely going to help.’ Which it didn’t because I had to double my Spanx.'
And asked about how her family will react to the big night, she said: 'It’s very calm at my house. Nobody in my family has fully absorbed it. I can talk about other things than myself, which is great.
'And then the night of the Oscars, everybody just gets wasted and has a blast.'
For the 22-year-old's fellow hopefuls Naomi Watts and Jessica Chastain both looked in fine figure as they attended the event.
The latter scored particularly highly after daunting a sleek black number that managed to tread the thin line between demure and sexy perfectly.
But there was plenty of competition in the glamour stakes at the glittering event.
For while Jennifer, Jessica, Naomi and supporting actress nominee Amy Adams are the actresses of the moment, some of the cream of the Hollywood crop were also there.
Hot competition: Australian actress Naomi Watts went for a more casual look with silver trousers and a white blouse and jacket while Amy Adams pulled out an LBD for the night
Sexy yet demure: Jessica Chastain easily trod the thin line between sexy and demure with this outfit
And particularly hot competition was provided in the form of 33-year-old Homeland star Morena Baccarin.
With awards season in full flow the trio were among the attendees at the event held at Spago in Beverly Hills.
Amy, 38, who is nominated as best supporting actress in The Master and Naomi, nominated for leading actress in The Impossible, had earlier attended the Oscars Nominees Luncheon.
Three thoroughbreds: Jessica, Naomi and Amy shone like diamonds at the luncheon earlier in the day
And outfit change later and the pair were posing for the cameras again, with Naomi, 44, opting for a dressed down looked of silver trousers and a white blouse.
Amy, meanwhile, looked sexy in a lacy LBD, but it was Morena, who plays Jessica Brody, the long-suffering wife of Congressman Nicholas Brody, in Homeland, who really pulled out the stops.
She looked immaculate in sleeveless white gown, completing her dramatic look with a slick of red lipstick.

Star turn: Homeland star Morena Baccarin looked stunning in a white dress cut just above the knee
Other attendees included Sally Field, who will go up against Adams in the best supporting actress category for her role in Lincoln.
In a new interview with British GQ, alongside a sexy photoshoot, Morena admitted she had no idea how long she will be staying in the show, adding that 'no-one is safe' from the wrath of the writers' pens.
She said: 'I don’t know! I’ve asked and harassed but I haven’t gotten any information.
'But I don’t think anyone is safe...'
Very casual: Sally Field wore jeans and a white blouse, seen right Steven Spielberg who directed her in the Oscar-nominated movie Lincoln
Morena's admission comes after a shocking finale to the second series of the show, which saw a bomb go off inside the CIA headquarters, apparently killing many of the programme's main characters including David Estes (played by David Harewood).
However, even if Morena does find herself cut from the show, which stars Damian Lewis as her on-screen husband, she has already thought about her next career move.
Asked what else she envisions in her acting future, Morena replied: 'I would love to be a Bond girl.
'That is on my bucket list, definitely.'
Party time: Julia Stiles and singer Natasha Bedingfield - who didn't quite look the part
Access all areas: Even rapper Snoop managed to wangle an invite to the high profile event
