Why Jennifer Lawrence Is Declaring Skinny Jeans Dead — And What That Means for Your Style and Comfort Game!

Ever found yourself caught in one of those surreal city moments—where the hustle pauses, heads turn, and suddenly a regular Wednesday in SoHo feels like an exclusive premiere? That’s exactly what happened right outside the new Longines boutique as word spread: Jennifer Lawrence was inside. Now, here’s the kicker—Jennifer isn’t just dazzling as the Oscar-winning star we know; she’s rocking that effortlessly cool, “sweater over a sweater” vibe from The Row that somehow makes layering look like an art form instead of a fashion experiment gone sideways. But beyond the looks and glitz, she’s here shining a spotlight on something timeless—the PrimaLuna, a watch that’s more than just a timekeeper; it’s a statement of permanence in a world chasing trends. So, can a watch really change how we see everyday elegance? And what does J-Law’s everyday style inspo teach us about owning our identities, both on and off the red carpet? Stick around, because this isn’t your usual celebrity feature—it’s a deep dive into style, substance, and those little luxuries that make life tick. LEARN MORE

It’s 3:00 p.m. on a Wednesday in SoHo, and outside the about-to-open Longines boutique, a crowd has gathered—not just paparazzi, but the sort of carefully dressed tourists and shoppers who populate the neighborhood during business hours. A passing couple stops to ask what’s going on, and a young man in a cream sweater beams at them. “Jennifer Lawrence is in there!”

Inside the store, Lawrence is perched in an accent chair and doing that thing she does so well: radiating movie-star energy while also appearing to be a completely normal person. She’s wearing a brown sweater with a matching brown cardigan thrown around her shoulders, along with a short black skirt with a doubled-over effect. She pulls up the hem a bit to show me the construction. “It’s a sweater over a sweater,” she explains, “but I didn’t put a skirt over a skirt.” (Actually, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen did—the entire look is by The Row.)

Lawrence at the Longines boutique opening

Lawrence is here to launch the boutique and celebrate the debut of the watch brand’s latest model. “The PrimaLuna,” she says, extending one arm to show it off. “I don’t normally call watches by their government names, but it’s elegant. I only recently started wearing watches as jewelry, and I think that it’s a really beautiful piece of jewelry.”

The PrimaLuna is actually a relaunch of a classic moonphase style from the 193-year-old Swiss brand. With a domed 34-mm case and 48 sapphires, it has a lunar glamour that feels horologically relevant in a moment when more and more women’s watches are starting to look like bracelets. “It’s a statement,” Lawrence says. “And it’s permanent. It’s not a trend. It’s nice to have something so practical that’s also beautiful.”

The watch comes with a mother-of-pearl dial.

At 35 years old, with a résumé full of hit films and two small kids, Lawrence is in a stage of life where it helps to be decisive—even when it comes to accessories. “I’m in a phase where I’m wearing more permanent jewelry, as opposed to changing it. So I have an ear cuff that I’ve been wearing every day, and I have anklets that I wear every day.” She sounds like any other busy mom, but her daily style is becoming the stuff of New York legend. She’s regularly photographed around the city wearing the kind of accessible-yet-perfect outfits that make other city women want to go home and take apart their closets to see if they can achieve the same look.

And it turns out she’s finding inspiration in the same places the rest of us are. “I notice silhouettes either online or in the streets,” she says, “and living in New York is really inspirational.” One thing she’s clocked recently is the return of the Y2K-style layering—not the sophisticated The Row situation she has on now, but tank tops upon tank tops upon tank tops. “I started seeing the layers coming back, which is just fun when you’re old enough to remember the trends in the early 2000s, with the tank hanging below the shirt.”

She likes a dress over pants, she says, but she wants nothing to do with that era’s other reigning silhouette. “Skinny jeans are dead, which I’m happy about. I don’t want somebody to be able to tell with absolute clarity the difference of size between my thigh and my ankle.”

Lawrence at the Rome premiere of Die, My Love

With press ramping up for her new movie, Die, My Love, she’s also been photographed out and about in high fashion, like the fresh-off-the-runway Dior, pulled from Jonathan Anderson’s first collection for the house, that she wore to the Rome Film Festival. In the film, she plays Grace, a new mother losing herself to postpartum psychosis. “I definitely resonated with it because [motherhood] is such an identity shift,” she says. “You’re all of a sudden so important to this one person that another part of you starts to feel invisible.” Holding up her hands, she tries to illustrate the difference between life pre- and post-kids. “It just feels like, I mean, Old Testament, New Testament.”

Does she find that her style gets influenced by the characters she plays? “It happens every time,” she says. “It’s something that I seriously have to keep in control. I see it happening while I’m shooting, and then I look back at pictures and I’m like, Who is that? Grace was very influential. I noticed when I started to dress like her.” Even Katniss Everdeen? “Well, maybe not Katniss. Although I can’t put my hair in a braid without being like”—she lowers her voice to a goofy register—”Oh, you want somebody to bring up the movie?” This is the high-low magic of Jennifer Lawrence: Oscar winner, mom, wearer of sapphire-encrusted timepieces, and still totally willing to launch into a silly voice if it helps get the point across.
