Jennifer Lawrence in Alexander Wang at the VF Oscar party: dated & tragic?

wenn23572213

We’re really tired and we’re going to be saving some of the Oscar-party coverage for tomorrow, because photos are still coming in, etc. So enjoy this, the tailend of today’s Oscar and Oscar-party coverage. While Jennifer Lawrence made a point of not doing much press (or any press?) on the red carpet of the Oscars, she was totally up for the post-Oscar parties. J-Law changed out of her Dior gown into this Alexander Wang two-piece dress for the Vanity Fair party. Tell me the truth: does this surprise you? Isn’t this the exact kind of ensemble you would have expected on Taylor Swift? Tay-Tay’s been going through a bandeau-top phase, and I guess Taylor finally made it happen. I actually think this is completely terrible on J-Law. It looks dated and sloppy. It’s unflattering. It’s not properly tailored. Just bad, bad, bad.

And here’s Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake. I wondered why Biel was at the Spirit Awards over the weekend, but I guess she’s just doing the party circuit this month. Sure. Jessica’s dress is Zuhair Murad and it is matronly.

    It looks like something she borrowed from Taylor Swift.

    • V4Real says:

      My mind went there also. But it’s a fun don’t take me too serious look.

    • Carmen says:

      Taylor can carry it off; she can’t.

      • Beth says:

        Neither of them can carry it off.

      • Careygloss says:

        Why? I might be jumping to conclusions, but it seems like the only reason someone might say that is because swift is below a size zero, which is the supposed standard we’re all supposed to strive for, apparently. (???) both women are gorgeous, confident, and successful (though only one of them has legit talent, imp. ;)). There is no such thing as “the right body type” to wear what you’d like. Again, I’m assuming I know what you meant and I could be wrong.

    • What's inside says:

      Hate it with a passion. It kind of looks like she’s trying to get in character for a movie part.

  2. Lennox says:

    This is just cheap and sloppy-looking.

  3. QQ says:

    It’s not the worst thing, in fact I still wonder why is she with Dior when they keep giving her flaccid fussy things, whereas this is more flattering to her overall vibe and physique

    LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO Whys is a Jessica there for… to network about WHAT? must be that her hubby wants to do another bad movie so he had an extra plus one

    • Locke Lamora says:

      Yeah, I think this is much better than the horrible Oscar dress. The top should have been higher up.

  4. Eggland's worst says:

    OH. MY. GOD. for both. NO. JUST NO.

  5. Kimmy says:

    Dress sucks, but my god…I am obsessed with JLaw’s haircut.

  6. Anon says:

    It’s absolutely budget, what the heck is that ?!

    • Carol says:

      So budget. Like she got this outfit at the mall and bought the bag from Nordstrom’s Rack. Not that Nordstrom’s Rack is bad, but c’mon its the Oscars people!!!

  7. Tifygodess24 says:

    I don’t hate Jessica’s dress, but I don’t really like it either. I’m not sure how I feel. However there is something about it that’s throwing off a Golden Girls chic vibe. Maybe it’s the sequins?

    • lisa2 says:

      I’m on the fence too. There are women that could make that dress look sexy. I think her hair is wrong for it. And the shoes are too heavy. And it needed something along the waist; maybe a pin or something on the side where the slit is.. not sure.. but it looks incomplete and thrown together..

      JLaw’s outfit looks dated and just not good. The bust area makes her looks saggy. just not a good look. I would have loved her in a Jump suit or something like that

    • Carol says:

      I kind of like Biel’s dress – maybe it’s the color that I like? And the cut is Golden Girls? Anyway Jessica Biel is so beautiful I just want to throw a shoe at her.

    • What's inside says:

      It’s boring, boring, boring. She has one of the best bodies in Hollywood and has been a fashion mess since she got knocked up. Maybe her focus has changed and she just doesn’t give a rat’s ass anymore about looks.

  8. Alex says:

    I don’t hate it actually.

  9. Mia4s says:

    Love the hair and makeup but arriving arm in arm with David O’Russell is enough to put me off anyone.

    Why is Biel?

  10. HeatherAnn says:

    I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I think she looks awesome. I’m not seeing the “not flattering” comment. She looks like a supermodel to me and I usually think she’s kind of blah.

  11. Bridget says:

    Well this explains why they closed the Alexander Wang store for her. Which, well played. They probably got thousands and thousands of dollars of free press out of that move alone, not to mention the exposure of having J Law wear an AW outfit here.

    • lucy2 says:

      I never thought of that – if a celebrity was getting a red carpet outfit fitted or something, closing the store makes some sense so no one ruins the surprise.

      • Bridget says:

        Not to mention that the closing itself was noteworthy – they got a ton of gossip mileage just about J Law closing the store, probably worth way more than they would have sold in that single hour.

  12. Tiffany says:

    The shoe game this year has been awful. Just Awful.

  13. Cindy says:

    All I have to say is Justin Timberlake has scary psycho unblinking eyes. This is a repeat joke from Lewis Black’s stand up, but whenever I see JT all I think of is Lewis Black screaming ” SOMEONE HAS TO KEEP THEIR EYE ON THAT FU**ER!”

  14. Farhi says:

    That outfit JLaw is wearing looks uncomfortable and the first photo seems to be taken with a strange angle because it managed to make her look short and somewhat chubby around the hips and she is neither.
    A good design should be flattering and comfortable to wear (in my book).

  15. L'etranger says:

    Honestly, I kinda like JLaw’s sort-of dress (and realize that I’m probably in the minority). I just wish she’d pull the top up an inch or two; IMO it looks like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

    • perplexed says:

      Yeah, it’s the top that I thinks looked positioned strangely.

      She’s tall, isn’t she? Something about the way the outfit has been put on her makes her look shorter than she is.

  16. jbap says:

    It looks great to me – she has the figure to pull it off, which this type of outfit requires ( and diesn’the always get – see Taylor).

  17. serena says:

    It makes her boobs seems saggy.

  18. Susan says:

    Gorgeous.

  19. lucy2 says:

    To me, it looks like something a C lister would wear in hopes of getting attention. I like JLaw and I’ve really liked a lot of her previous post-Oscar party dresses, but this one seems like a miss. And the top is sitting too low.
    Jessica’s is quite matronly.

  20. kimbers says:

    Jen cant pull off that look…nothing compliments anything. ..hair…shoes…make up…jewelry. ..Whoever put it together needs to go back to school…

  21. Bluesky says:

    My understanding from an interview from Spike Lee’s wife that these parties are also networking opportunities so maybe Jessica is looking for a job?

  22. B says:

    Im still rooting for her and Calvin Klein

    She always looks her best in them

  23. Gill G says:

    Sure, that outfit is a bit tacky and last year. But J-Law looks very hot in it, and it’s a great party dress. She has most of her career in front of her, and can worry about being on trend later. Right now, she’s young, rich and single, with a great body: if I were her, I’d be wearing this sort of thing way more than she does.

  24. stacey says:

    Too much skin, tacky. shoes look like dance store shoes and the top could fit much better anyways

    Olivia wildes outfit was vulgar too

  25. Armenthrowup says:

    I wish I looked that good in something so ‘terrible’ 😀

  26. MissB says:

    The top looks like it’s sliding down, like it should be sitting a couple of centimeters higher. Or am I imagining stuff?

  27. Lex says:

    I always wonder how the celebrities actually enjoy the parties wearing these elaborate gowns? How can they walk around or dance or use the loo?
    If they had a drink too many, so many of these dresses would be prime for ripping accidentally. I wonder if you rip a borrowed dress if you get in big trouble?

  28. CornyBlue says:

    The point of the dress is to show her banging bod and this definitely does it.

  29. Marianne says:

    I actually really like this look on Jlaw. I think its better than her oscar dress. And I like Jessica’s dress as well. But I think she needed some sort of support under it.

  30. Nori says:

    Jennifer Lawrence looks like the big slob she quite possibly is (judging from her own confessions about her public restroom habits). Jessica Biel always looks sad to me. That outfit makes her look grandmotherish. She’s wasting her killer bod on those outfits and on that cheater.

  31. Camille says:

    Awful outfits all round here. Yuck.

  32. Jib says:

    So glad to see Jen felt well enough to go to the after-parties after being late for the Oscars red carpet because she “wasn’t feeling well.” I get the feeling that both her not feeling well and making it to party later have a lot to do with alcohol consumption.

  33. Deedee says:

    That is truly fugly. It looks like her skirt split and her girdle is showing and the bra doesn’t fit well.

  34. Myst says:

    Kaley Cuoco wore it better

  35. Kate says:

    Jennifer looks miserable.

  36. Tredd says:

    OMFG. Jessica! WTH?????

    (Seeing Jlaw’s awful knees just made my MONTH!!)
