When Jennifer Lawrence dabbles in denim, the fit is typically loose and pooling over a pair of trainers or flip-flops. That was not the case ahead of the New York premiere of Die My Love on 1 November.
Before she swept her bangs to the side and donned a stunning Dior gown, Lawrence was photographed in Midtown wearing a pair of cigarette jeans that cut just below the ankle, showcasing her pointed kitten heels. If you don’t think that’s off-brand for Lawrence, let me show you a few of her rare denim moments from the past two years, including her recent tiptoe into the boot-cut jeans trend.

British Vogue has even more examples of Lawrence’s go-to slouchy jeans and trainer combo, if you’re not convinced. While I was able to find one straight-leg jeans style she wore back in April 2024, even that high-waist option was paired with yellow Vans. It should also be noted that all of these jeans fall into the mid-wash category.
All this to say, I was not expecting to see Lawrence break out a pair of kitten heels or dark-wash cigarette jeans on her way to the red-carpet premiere of her new film, Die My Love, especially considering she’d be changing right out of her gown and into after-party dress and heels after that.

But that’s exactly what she did. It seems she was influenced by Hollywood friend Dakota Johnson, who is known to love a slim pair of straight-leg jeans, though the rest of the look certainly screamed Jennifer Lawrence.

The key to making the denim her own, however, came down to Lawrence’s signature eclectic layering choices. She paired her atypical jeans with a long, floral, embroidered cardigan and a short, belted calf hair coat for a rich mix of textures. She finished everything off with a pair of chic black sunglasses.
Since they’re the perfect midpoint between skinny jeans and more relaxed mum jeans, it’s no wonder the cigarette jeans are having a moment that even the boho girls can’t resist.
