Jennifer Lawrence Just Styled Fall's Biggest Animal-Print Trend the French Girl Way
You'd think she was in Paris.
If Jennifer Lawrence wasn't, well, Jennifer Lawrence, her neighbors might mistake the New Yorker for a French girl. Whether she's wearing lived-in jeans or a bold neon bag, Lawrence's street style constantly channels the casually cool charm of Parisians. As recently as November 12, Lawrence debuted a Fashion Week-worthy take on the French girl trend by pairing red with leopard print.
Over a month after Paris Fashion Week, where the actor attended the Dior show, Lawrence might still have local showgoer looks on her mind—and moodboard. Keeping it casual (for her), she layered a white T-shirt beneath a tomato cardigan and a fuzzy, $1,250 leopard-print jacket from Jacquemus.
Much like the faux fur Fernando Jacket, which first appeared in her winter wardrobe in January, she styles the Adidas Firebird Track Pants on repeat around NYC. This time, she finished her go-to track pants with Nike's sold-out React Infinity Sneakers, complete with heightened soles and a mesh body. She also traded a statement bag trend for rectangular, paparazzi-shielding sunglasses.
Jennifer Lawrence looked every bit a French girl in red and leopard-print pieces.
Lawrence isn't the only New Yorker painting the town red this season, with her crimson Birkenstocks and ruby velvet loafers: Everyone from Zoë Kravitz to Katie Holmes is playing with different renditions of the pigment.
The way Lawrence wore red alongside a spotted leopard style, on the other hand, looks like it could have come straight from the streets of Paris. Right now, French girls can't stop pairing the striking primary shade with the season's most popular animal-print trend.
One Paris Fashion Week attendee wore a black skirt with a similar white tee, red sweater, and leopard-print jacket.
At Paris Fashion Week, locals also loved to save red-and-leopard selects for their accessories, whether they be oversized clutches or biker-beloved leather gloves.
Another Paris Fashion Week fan wore a leopard-print blazer with a crimson clutch.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Lawrence secured a second residence in France's capital. Clearly, she's drawn to the city's style setters. While you await her return to Paris (which, judging by her French girl-coded fashion, could be any day now), follow Lawrence's red-and-leopard-print lead with finds from Sézane, Banana Republic, and Mango, below.
