Jennifer Lawrence Just Co-Signed the Divisive Color Trend French Girls Love
This little black bag loyalist is no more.
Could Jennifer Lawrence's days as a black bag loyalist be behind her? I'd say yes: This fall, her preferred color palette is undergoing a major maximalist makeover. On October 20, weeks after her orange croc carry-all made waves around New York, Lawrence's new top-handle tote sampled the leading color trend in French girl wardrobes at Paris Fashion Week: neon green.
While J.Law attended a single Spring/Summer 2027 show in Paris (Dior, of course), that didn't stop the actor from bringing a street style souvenir back Stateside. Recycling one of her favorite seasonal formulas, she stacked a cozy crewneck sweater over a peekaboo graphic tee, with light-wash jeans, shearling slippers (she traded her go-to Uggs for The Row's Hugo Slides), and the pièce de résistance: the most unmissable bowling bag in a blinding shade of green.
The brand behind the patent leather purse remains a mystery, but it shared the same curved silhouette as her $33,000 croc Lady Bag by The Row (one she also styles with sweaters and slippers). Letting the bag's piercing pigment do all the talking, Lawrence chose simple accessories, including the pendant necklace trend and cat-eye sunglasses.
Jennifer Lawrence's neon green bag made her French girl-looking outfit stand out.
If you're wondering, "Why the neon, and why now?" Well, lately, Lawrence has been playing with pops of color like tomato red, pale purple, aquamarine, and tangerine, but neon is new for her.
Or maybe French girls had something to do with it. The street style scene at Paris Fashion Week was very pro-slime green. And the color didn't just decorate shirts and sidewalk-sweeping skirts, but Fashion Week-worthy totes, too. Locals stayed especially loyal to Balenciaga's green bags, including the Rodeo and the Le City.

Balenciaga led the neon green charge.
Almost overnight, neon green dominated the accessories department, appearing on mittens, hosiery, pointy pumps, and more. Meanwhile, another showgoer presented it as a maximalist alternative to classic white T-shirts.

You can't go wrong with a neon ruffled shirt.
Yes, neon green is a French girl-tested trend now, but back in the day, everyone from Hailey Bieber to Avril Lavigne endorsed the striking purse shade. Now, it's back for seconds: Gabriela Hearst, Vaquera, Patrizia Pepe, and Christopher Esber presented purses in the divisive hue during Spring 2027 showcases, too.
