Party season is officially upon us, our collective calendars increasingly filling with glitzy soirées and countless opportunities to dress up. It’s the most wonderful time of year for fashion magpies and maximalists in particular, who simply can’t resist the allure of the season’s sequins, metallics, crystals and pretty much all that glitters—which is precisely the vibe that’s dominating the majority of shops right now, and understandably so.
But what of those who aren’t quite the sparkly kind, and lean instead towards a more low-key aesthetic? Historically, they have largely had to make do with sticking to a strict rotation of LBDs and tailored tuxes to see them through party season. Classically chic, yes—but a little tired, too. Luckily, Jennifer Lawrence just stepped out in a look that offers the perfect alternative.
