The San Sebastián International Film Festival honored Jennifer Lawrence this year with the prestigious Donostia Award, celebrating her as one of the most influential actresses of our time. But it wasn’t just the accolade that stole the spotlight.
Jennifer arrived at the iconic Kursaal red carpet wearing a look that defied every conventional rule, blending bold innovation with high fashion.
Jennifer made history as the youngest recipient of the Donostia Award, and true to her fearless style, she showed up with a daring ensemble that broke the mold of traditional red carpet glamour.
Steering clear of the classic black-and-white palette favored by many festival attendees, she opted instead for an unexpected khaki tone, making it a fresh and sophisticated twist. Crafted by renowned designer Phoebe Philo, the dress was an architectural masterpiece.
With a sleek, boxy silhouette, the gown played with asymmetry in the most captivating way, featuring a long sleeve and floor-length skirt on one side, complete with a subtle slit, and a mini cape draped over the opposite shoulder with a provocative cutout revealing her waist and back.
The look was perfectly crafted by the expert styling of Jamie Mizrahi, Lawrence’s go-to fashion guru. But what truly set Jennifer apart were the accessories.
Her waist was cinched by a slender belt that trailed dramatically to the floor, creating movement and intrigue. And in a playful nod to ’90s nostalgia, she paired towering heels with ankle-length ribbed socks, an unexpected yet effortlessly cool combo rarely seen on a red carpet.
Jennifer’s striking appearance was just one highlight in a star-studded lineup at this year’s festival. Earlier in the day, she debuted a second outfit for the press.
The actress was photographed in a striking black-and-white ensemble from Phoebe Philo’s latest collection, featuring a structured boxy top with a dramatic cape back and wide-leg trousers.
Her look was completed with sleek sunglasses and silver earrings, echoing the French-born, London-raised designer’s signature modern elegance.
Joining the festival’s glittering crowd was also Angelina Jolie, who caused quite a stir with her presentation of the film 'Couture,' adding even more excitement to the event.
