Jennifer Lawrence Fronts Dior Cruise 2019 Horsewomen Looks Lensed By Viviane Sassen

Star actor Jennifer Lawrence showcases Maria Grazia Chiuri’s equestrian cruise 2018 collection for Dior. Photographer Viviane Sassen is behind the lens, as Dior sets the scene:

“In a barren landscape, where the architectural lines of concrete walls are warmed by the colors of the desert, Jennifer Lawrence is the embodiment of liberated femininity, dressed in cruise 2019. Inspired by the escaramuzas, the Creative Director of the House, Maria Grazia Chiuri, designed feminine silhouettes whose dresses and petticoats embellished with traditional embroidery evoke the gracious and powerful discipline of these Mexican horsewomen. Toile de Jouy, modernized with a series of wild animals, also plays a key role in the collection. Its motifs appear on coats, skirts and the Dior Book Tote bag. To complete this equestrian look, the Saddle bag with its iconic curves is reinvented in patchwork or Dior Oblique canvas.“

Dior Launches 'Joy' With Jennifer Lawrence As Face Behind Its Third Pillar Fragrance

Dior Launches 'Joy' With Jennifer Lawrence As Face Behind Its Third Pillar Fragrance

Joy' by Dior is a big deal for the luxury house, becoming its third pillar fragrance for women, following Miss Dior (launched in 1947) and J'Adore Dior (1999). Consider a pillar fragrance the mother goddess brand -- Gaia, if you will -- from which all streams flow. The subbrands are like children: J'Adore Dior gave birth to J'Adore L'Or and J'Adore L'Absolu. 

Everything about Joy by Dior is aimed at millennials. “The company had evolved and grown on these two pillars,” said Claude Martinez, chief executive officer of Parfums Christian Dior. “And, three years ago, we felt it was about time to add another one that appealed to the next generation of consumers. … The new generation in Europe and the U.S. — people in their 20s, I’m talking about — are not that much in favor of fragrances. They are disconnected. A brand like Dior needs to be able to talk to them.”

Jennifer Lawrence is the perfect face, says Martinez. "She's very spontaneous . . . She can be laughing one second and crying the next. . . . Joy doesn't last forever. It can disappear as fast as it appears" and for us, Jennifer "is the true incarnation of this joy."

Lawrence had a hand in shaping the new Dior scent according to the man who created it. “It was about six months into the project when she came to visit the laboratory,” said François Demachy, the Parfums Christian Dior perfumer-creator.

More Maria Grazia Chiuri on Feminism

Since her appointment as the first female artistic director of Christian Dior in July 2016, Maria Grazia Chiuri has been writing a new chapter in the storied house's history, using feminism and female empowerment as a platform for her own political ends.  “When I arrived, I decided to think about femininity in a way that is contemporary,” she says. “The women are different now.”

Simply stated, the Dior brand must extend far beyond cocktail dresses. And in an epic leap taken by very few luxury brands, Chiuri brings moral messaging into the topic of brand desirability.

Jennifer Lawrence Talks 'Red Sparrow' & Being Politically Woke, Lensed By Inez & Vinoodh For Vanity Fair

Krista Smith enjoys roast chicken Chez Jennifer Lawrence, interviewing for Vanity Fair the world's highest-paid female actor about her upcoming role as a Russian prima ballerina turned Soviet operative Dominika Egorova in 'Red Sparrow'. Lawrence protested vociferously about doing her nude scene, arguing that she has never recovered from the 2014 Internet theft of nude photos intended for her then boyfriend Nicholas Hoult. (Note that the man responsible for the crime was prosecuted and sentenced to 18 mos in prison.)

Lawrence finally conceded that the nude scene in 'Red Sparrow' was essential to the film's plot line, and ultimately her decision was empowering in her words, thanks to her long-time friend, the film's director France Lawrence (no relation). Basically Lawrence looked Lawrence in the eye as the scene was being filmed -- not in the t-ts (my word). 

The Smith-Lawrence convo got extra interesting once the topic turned to politics. 

“I’ve always thought that it was a good idea to stay out of politics,” says Lawrence. “Twenty-five percent of America identifies as liberal and I need more than 25 percent of America to go see my movies. It’s not wise, career-speaking, to talk about politics. When Donald Trump got sworn into office, that fucking changed.”

In an earlier interview, Lawrence revealed that the negative reviews for 'mother!' created enormous strain on her relationship with the film's director, Darren Aronofsky.

“Normally, I promote a movie, ask people to go see it, and then it’s just out of your hands,” Lawrence, 27, told Adam Sandler for Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series. “I normally just kind of let it go. Dating the director was different. We’d be on the [press] tour together, I’d come back to the hotel, and the last thing I want to talk about or think about is a movie.”

“He comes back from the tour, and that’s all he wants to talk about and I get it,” she continued. “It’s his baby. He wrote it. He conceived it. He directed it. I was doing double duty trying to be a supportive partner, while also being like, ‘Can I please, for the love of God, not think about mother! for one second?’”

Top actor Jennifer Lawrence spoke out Monday morning about her post Trump-election mindset. "I didn't mean to speak to only people who voted for Hillary ," Lawrence told Micael Strahan on 'Good Morning America.'

This fall, Lawrence flew to Africa to shadow photojournalist Lynsey Addario as she documented South Sudanese refugees crossing into Uganda. Although the experience offered her a rare veil of anonymity (when introducing herself to a U.N. worker as Jennifer, he replied, “Ahhh, like Jennifer Lopez”), she was haunted by her uselessness. “The worst feeling about being there was that I wasn’t helping anybody,” she says of the humanitarian crisis. “I was doing a character study.” (Lawrence is also a producer on It’s What I Do, the Spielberg film based on Addario’s memoir.) Lawrence, who has donated generously to a number of charities (including $2 million to a children’s hospital in her hometown this year), said she found solace in vowing to visit again in a more active role.

This photo was shared by Lynsey Addario with Jennifer Lawrence on her Instagram page, with the message: "Look who I dragged to Uganda/South Sudan.

While the bulk of my own work in Sudan has been in Khartoum, AOC has been covering the South Sudan refugee crisis. Read on: Nykhor Paul's 'We Are Nilotic' T-shirts Zero In On South Sudan's Fragile Beauty.

Harper's Bazaar May interviews Jennifer Lawrence camped out at New York's Greenwich Hotel, owned by Robert De Niro. Lawrence is in Manhattan for a few days before jetting to Montreal to finish shooting 'X-Men: Apocalypse'.

Lawrence couldn't possibly be interviewed without talking truth on feminism, leaving her to reflect on her essay on equal pay in Hollywood for Lena Dunham's 'Lenny' newsletter. AOC reflectedin-depth on Lawrence's essay and her Variety feature 'Sticking It to the Man'.

In her new feature, Lawrence weighs in again on feminism and strong women, saying:

"I'm over trying to find the 'adorable' way to state my opinion and still be likable." That said, she doesn't think being a pleaser equals being weak. "There's nothing wrong with being a pleaser if you're smart about it," she says. "As long as you're getting what's fair. You know, I want my employers to be happy. I want to please anyone I'm working for as long as they pay me the appropriate amount. I'll make them as happy as they want."

On feminism, she argues, "I don't know why that word is so scary to people; it shouldn't be, because it just means equality. If we are moving forward in a society, you are feeling stronger as a woman, and you want to be taken more seriously. You don't have to take away the wonderful traits that come with being a woman: We are sensitive. We are pleasers. We're empathetic. All those things that can keep you from asking for what you want or making mistakes."

'Sticking It to the Man' is an interesting title for an article about female actors asking for equal pay -- based on credentials, audience draw and awards -- from male-dominated Hollywood. Thanks to Patricia Arquette using her Oscar speech to lobby for equal pay and then Jennifer Lawrence setting a bonfire with her essay indicting a system that paid her 'American Hustle' co-stars more than her.As a consequence of last year's Sony Hack, Lawrence understands just how underpaid she was. 

Talking about her essay published in Lenny Letter, Lawrence said her 'hunger Games' character Katniss Everdeen inspired her to take action.
