Now that's how to make an entrance: Jennifer Lawrence looked incredible at the Hunger Games: Catching Fire Los Angeles premiere on Monday
Jennifer was sporting a black strapless leotard under a floor-sweeping dusty blue gown that was entirely sheer.
The Dior frock was cinched in at the Silver Linings Playbook star’s waist with a clunky black belt and she teamed it with matching platform sandals by Brian Atwood and a Roger Vivier clutch bag.
Jennifer often speaks of how she wants to be a healthy role model for young girls and would never diet to fit a Hollywood ideal.
