Leopard Underfoot, Dries Van Noten Above: Jennifer Lawrence Dresses for a Friend's Celebration in New York

Jennifer Lawrence went to dinner in New York to mark Dakota Johnson's birthday, and she dressed for the season rather than the spotlight. The main piece was a Dries Van Noten skirt in mustard and earthy brown, the warm, toasted colors of autumn. On her feet she wore leopard slides, so a second pattern sat right next to the first instead of being kept apart from it. Putting two prints together is a calculated risk, and here their shared warm colors keep them from clashing. The slides also show what mattered most that evening: dinner with friends calls for ease, and nothing in the look makes its wearer suffer for it. For the archive, file it under New York, a birthday table and Dries Van Noten, an evening outfit any reader could borrow.
