Jennifer Lawrence embraced fall's chocolate brown trend in a skintight gown at the 2024 Governors Awards on Sunday, Nov. 17 in Los Angeles.

The No Hard Feelings star graced the red carpet wearing a Hersey-brown Bottega Veneta number from creative director Matthieu Blazy's forthcoming pre-fall 2025 collection. With a sleeveless boatneck and ruching along the sides, the floor-length dress was cinched at the actor's shoulder and hip with sculptural gold drop . The design hugged Lawrence's growing baby bump, following last month's news that she and her gallerist husband Cooke Maroney are pregnant with their second child. Stylist Jamie Mizrahi accessorized the look with a pair of the brand's small gold drop earrings and a gold metallic Intreccio leather clutch with a knotted clasp. To complete her red carpet ensemble, Lawrence added a domed gold ring from Ana Khouri and Manolo Blahnik shoes.

Lawrence's honey blonde pregnancy bangs were on full display at the event, where her eyelash-dusting fringe accented an elegant updo. She initially debuted the cut along with her baby bump on Oct. 19, with a casual dinner date ensemble that paired a vintage-inspired white T-shirt and a candy red cashmere sweater from from La Ligne. Her makeup for Sunday's ceremony showcased a semi-sheer berry lip stain strongly reminiscent of Victoria Beckham's Bitten Lip Tint in Cherie and a heavy swipe of feline black liner that almost completely encircled her eyes.

Hanna Lustig is a staff writer at Marie Claire, where she gets to gab every day about the topics she holds most dear: fashion, beauty, and celebrity. Hanna’s editorial journey began with formative internships at Elle and InStyle, where she was lucky enough to work for some of the smartest women in media while she was still in college at the University of Tennessee. Hanna then accepted a digital culture reporting fellowship at Insider, where she helped carve out a new beat dedicated to covering influencers. Those experiences later served her well as a staff writer at Glamour, where she developed a knack for spinning quick turnaround celebrity news and trend reporting into juicy feature stories. Some of her greatest hits include an earnest ode to the no-pants trend, this meticulously reported feature exploring the rise of endoscopic facelifts, this snappy take on the Chanel-designed fantasy of Sofia Richie’s wedding, this tribute to WAGs past and present, and this timeline of Katie Holmes’s life and career as told through her denim collection.

Diane Keaton once hung up on Hanna during an interview, but thankfully that mishap did not derail what has otherwise been a deeply fulfilling career writing for and about women. As one of Marie Claire's resident experts on style and culture, her current coverage ranges from exploring TikTok's contrast makeup theory and the return of the boat shoe trend to interviews with costume designers for hit shows like Nobody Wants This and The Penguin. When she’s not at work, Hanna can probably be found listening to pop music, talking to her dog, and gossiping with her best friends.
