Dior created Jennifer Lawrence’s pale-pink gown for the 2013 Academy Awards.
Lawrence wore the strapless Dior Haute Couture gown at the 85th Academy Awards on February 24, 2013. The full-skirted dress was made from layers of pale pink fabric and became especially memorable when she tripped on its train while climbing the stairs to accept the Best Actress award for Silver Linings Playbook.
The gown’s voluminous silhouette reflected the formal tradition of Oscar dressing, while its soft color gave the look a youthful quality. Lawrence completed the outfit with a diamond necklace worn down her back, a styling choice that drew attention to the open back of the dress.
People sometimes remember the dress mainly because of the fall and overlook its couture origin. It was a Dior design, worn during a period when Lawrence was closely associated with the house. The same ceremony also featured her receiving her first Academy Award, making the outfit part of both red-carpet and awards-history discussions.
