Tonight, Jennifer Lawrence collected either her final award for Silver Linings Playbook, or her second-to-last. The fact that it was an Independent Spirit Award, and Playbook is backed by TWC is another conversation, another post. (I think we can all agree that in varying degrees of "independence," what it took to get ISA competitor Beasts of the Southern Wild to production and then on to Sundance and $12.4M was a much different journey than Harvey's crown jewel for awards season. But, I digress ...) If Lawrence wins tomorrow, it's pretty clear that Hollywood loves her to the point that they won't want to wait too long until they give her a second Oscar (think Jodie Foster). If she loses (to Emmanuelle Riva), the assumption is that she'll be around long enough to try a few more times. But, the point of this post was the black backless Lanvin dress she wore tonight. With an asymmetrical bottom cut and a bow at the waist, the predominant feature was the art deco choker holding up the geometrically-designed front. If you look at the dress being worn by the toothpick in the picture next to Lawrence, it's pretty obvious this design is for anorexics only with dried up breasts (the opposite of Lawrence). Even then, I can't drum up much excitement. It's designed to create the illusion of "skinny" in the worst possible way. It just doesn't make any sense. Perhaps how the front slims down to the waist is what bothers me most, and the way in which the straps help to tighten her front look so chintzy with a strained arbitrariness. Still, it could be worse. Don't get me wrong. She looks hot, especially in those heels. It looks great from the back. And, I like that Lawrence takes all these crazy chances. Look at her smile. So cute, but she looks kind of over it, like, "if I have to smile one more fucking time ..." But, with this, as well as The Golden Globes dress, I'm wondering if she's trying every which way to display her tits, but loose. Makes me yearn for her Baywatch 2010 Oscar getup.
