Jennifer Lawrence Street Style NYC The Row

This wasn’t just another walk in the park; it was a masterclass in quiet luxury, executed with the kind of nonchalant confidence that only someone truly comfortable in their own skin can possess. We’ve seen Lawrence championing The Row for years—her closet, I imagine, is a veritable shrine to the Olsen twins’ minimalist genius—but this look was different. It wasn’t just a nod to the brand, it was an entire conversation. The star layered a navy blue The Row Kisaora Sweater in Cashmere over a simple white Doen Vivi Tee. That’s the kind of subtle contrast that whispers, not screams, “I know what I’m doing.” The soft, luxurious cashmere draped just so, offering a glimpse of the classic white tank beneath, a perfectly understated detail that speaks volumes.

The true moment of sartorial daring, however, came with the revival of her now-signature skirt-over-pants combo. This isn’t a new trick, but it’s one that requires a certain finesse to pull off. The Paloma Wool skirt, a knee-length opaque midi, floated effortlessly over a pair of semi-sheer Paloma Wool trousers. The result is a silhouette that is both fluid and grounded, a clever play on proportion that feels both nostalgic and utterly modern. “It’s a look that challenges our preconceived notions of what constitutes a ‘proper’ outfit,” one well-known stylist told me. “It’s a beautiful contradiction: modest yet revealing, structured yet soft.” This layered approach is a classic example of how modern celebrity style can borrow from historical references—in this case, the layered sensibilities of European bohemianism—and make them fresh for a new generation.

As if her outfit wasn’t giving us enough fall-ready inspiration, Lawrence completed the look with a pair of sleek, black ballet flats. But these weren’t just any flats; they were The Row Claudette Satin Flats, a piece so coveted they are notoriously difficult to track down. It’s a choice that reflects an insider’s appreciation for a piece that is as much an investment as it is an accessory. Her Dior Medium D-Vibe Bowling Bag, once again making an appearance, provided the final punctuation mark. Covered in the atelier’s iconic oblique jacquard, the bag felt like a small, chic bowling alley, a playful-yet-polished touch that balanced the outfit’s more serious undertones. You can tell she loves it—she’s been carrying it everywhere, and who can blame her? At a cool $3,400, it’s a piece you want to wear, darling.

It is, in my book, not officially fall until I spot a celebrity in a sweater. This season, Lawrence has been wearing chunky knits over her shoulders—a very Kendall Jenner move, I might add—but never as a top until now. And she has once again made a case for the kind of effortless, yet deeply considered, layering that we see on the streets of Paris and Milan. It’s time to break out skirts over pants and ballet flats. Lawrence’s word, it seems, is law.

• The Power of the Palette: Embrace rich, earthy tones and classic neutrals like navy, cashmere, and black. A simple palette allows for complex layering without looking chaotic.

• Embrace the Unexpected: Don’t be afraid to layer. A midi skirt over wide-leg trousers might seem audacious, but the effect is sophisticated and directional.

• Invest in Timeless Pieces: Look for staples from brands like The Row and Dior that will last beyond a single season. Their quality and craftsmanship make them forever pieces.

• The Right Accessories Can Make or Break a Look: A simple, well-chosen bag and a pair of chic flats can elevate even the most casual outfit. Pay attention to texture and material—satin and jacquard, for example, add a hint of glamour.
