The More Famous Jennifer Lawrence Got, the More Dior She Wore

Raf Simons’s tenure at Dior will be remembered for many things, but in the public mind, it might end up being most closely associated with Jennifer Lawrence’s inability to walk up stairs. In January 2013, tabloids panicked at the thought that she might have torn her navy Dior couture gown while accepting a SAG award for Silver Linings Playbook. A month later, she tripped at the 2013 Oscars wearing another Dior piece, this time in petal pink. By spring of 2013, her klutziness was a meme — part of her funny, pizza-eating, “I’m just a regular girl” celebrity persona.

Lawrence landed her first Dior campaign in 2012; in the ads since, she’s gone pantsless and given mom advice. 2012 was the same year Simons took over the French house, and as her red-carpet appearances increased, he hooked her up with a steady stream of outfits. In just one month in 2013, she wore six different Dior dresses, attending premieres for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in places like Paris, Berlin, and Madrid. Click through the slideshow to see highlights of her best red-carpet moments wearing Dior, including a gown so sheer it’s worth analyzing.

Worshipping at the altar of Raf.
