Jennifer Lawrence returned to Dior's front row in Paris on Tuesday, 29 September, 14 years after beginning a partnership with the French fashion house that has continued through several creative eras. The 36-year-old actor attended Jonathan Anderson's spring/summer 2027 show at the Tuileries Garden in a baby-blue Dior slip dress with white lace detailing.
The backless design featured thin straps and soft draping, while Lawrence carried a miniature Lady Dior bag and wore pale-blue mules and black sunglasses. Her appearance marked another chapter in a Dior partnership that began in 2012, when Lawrence became the face of Dior's Miss Dior handbag campaign.
Jennifer Lawrence Joined Dior's Miss Dior Campaign in 2012
Lawrence's Dior partnership began in 2012, the year The Hunger Games was released. She was 22 when Dior named her the face of its Miss Dior handbag campaign. Raf Simons had become Dior's artistic director that year. Dior subsequently became a regular presence in Lawrence's red-carpet wardrobe.
One notable moment came at the Academy Awards on 24 February 2013. Lawrence wore a pale Dior haute couture gown when she won the Best Actress award for Silver Linings Playbook.
She tripped while climbing the stairs to accept the award before continuing to the stage. The gown became closely associated with Lawrence's Oscar-night appearance.
Lawrence Stayed as Dior Changed Designers
Simons left Dior in 2015. Maria Grazia Chiuri became Dior's creative director for women's collections in 2016, becoming the first woman to lead the creation of Dior's women's collections.
Lawrence remained a Dior ambassador throughout Chiuri's tenure. She continued appearing in Dior campaigns and wearing the house's designs at premieres, awards ceremonies and other public appearances. In 2018, she became the face of Joy by Dior, the house's new women's fragrance.
Chiuri left Dior in 2025 after nine years. Jonathan Anderson subsequently became Dior's creative director, overseeing its men's, women's and haute couture collections. Lawrence remained a Dior ambassador as Anderson began his tenure.
Lawrence Returns for Jonathan Anderson's Latest Dior Show
Lawrence's 29 September appearance came during Paris Fashion Week. She joined Rosalía, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rihanna and Cynthia Erivo among the guests at Anderson's spring/summer 2027 presentation. Anderson presented 65 looks featuring structured jackets, sheer fabrics, exposed bras, pleated dresses and metallic trousers.
The collection revisited several Dior references, including the Bar jacket and houndstooth, while incorporating softer construction and lighter fabrics. Lawrence wore a pale-blue slip dress featuring white lace trim, a low back and delicate straps.
Fourteen Years With Dior
Jennifer Lawrence's partnership with the fashion house has now extended across much of her adult career. She began her Dior partnership as The Hunger Games franchise was beginning and continued her partnership with the house as her career moved through films including American Hustle, Joy, Mother!, Causeway, No Hard Feelings and Die, My Love.
Dior changed creative directors during the same period. Lawrence's partnership began during Simons' tenure, continued throughout Chiuri's nine-year tenure overseeing Dior's womenswear and has continued into Anderson's tenure.
Her return to the front row on 29 September came 14 years after she began her Dior partnership. The designers and collections surrounding Lawrence have changed since 2012, but Dior remains a longstanding fashion partnership for the actor.
