|
Jennifer Lawrence is famous for her wardrobe malfunctions.
But there was nothing awkward about the slender star as she hit up the premiere of Jimmy P. Psychotherapy Of A Plains Indian on Saturday at the Cannes Film Festival.
Jennifer, 22, arrived to the Benecio Del Toro-starring film wearing a comely monochrome strapless gown that showed off her smooth shoulders and back and fell in one satiny wave to her heels.

The black skirt featured a daring leg-baring side slit that was both sexy and practical.
The no-train number was virtually trip-proof and allowed little opportunity for missteps which Jennifer's elaborate outfits in the past failed to do.
Every now and then Jennifer offered views of her shapely leg and pretty ankle-strap high heels as she glided down the red carpet with the poise of a princess.
