Jennifer Lawrence Styles the Only Hybrid Shoe Trend You Need for the Holidays
Her red footwear streak continues.
Jennifer Lawrence painted her shoe rack red years ago, rotating between cherry-colored sandals, maroon Mary Janes, and scarlet-striped Adidas Tokyo Sneakers. This week alone, she debuted two red styles. After showcasing her coolest Birkenstocks yet (complete with a crimson, calf-hair finish), Lawrence switched into the ultimate high-low loafers for any holiday affair.
On November 11, just in time for fashion fans to start thinking about cool-girl Thanksgiving looks, Lawrence's street style set became the blueprint. The paparazzi spotted her in almost all-black attire, including a silky bow-tied blouse, a matching blazer, and timeless trousers, but her footwear foiled the singular color story.
While pointy black pumps would've been an elegant (although predictable) partner for her razor-sharp suit set, J.Law's velvet, ruby tuxedo loafers put comfort first. That's not to say they sacrificed style. In fact, the house slipper-inspired silhouette added an effortless ease to the otherwise buttoned-up outfit—and made it suitable for more relaxed, festive dress codes. Just imagine how casually chic they'd look with jeans and a chunky cable-knit cardigan.
Jennifer Lawrence took her second pair of red shoes for a spin, proving the loafers are a perfect holiday party pick.
The luxe loafers also looked right at home alongside a vintage Hermès Kelly Bag. You might recognize its croc-embossed exterior or slouchy, well-worn shape from some of the New Yorker's earlier ensembles: Two months ago, she dressed the It bag down with Sperry boat shoes, another easy-breezy, loafer-like trend.
Now, as for Lawrence's new footwear, red is ruling over every sector of the celebrity style circuit, ranging from coats and knitwear to statement hosiery and shoes. Much like Lawrence, Zoë Kravitz is making the shade a New York girl signature, too, playing with poppy red socks, scarves, and bandanas. While Kravitz's red shoe-wearing days haven't resumed (yet), the actor is a loyal supporter of the soft loafers trend, styling slipper-adjacent shoes as often as Gigi Hadid, Zendaya, and Lawrence, of course.
