- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Jennifer Lawrence's family accompanied the actress on the red carpet for the premiere of her raunchy comedy, No Hard Feelings.
The Oscar winner posed between her lookalike mom Karen and dad Gary at the event held in New York City's Lincoln Square AMC. The 32-year-old actress wore a white one-shoulder Dior gown, with her blonde tresses styled to the side in waves. Her mom rocked a black dress with intricate white details, while her dad opted for a tan suit.
This photo opportunity marked a full-circle moment for the Lawrence family. When The Hunger Games alum was a teenager, she was approached by a modeling scout in New York City, who kickstarted her career as a model and actress. Shortly after, her mom moved with her to the city, where they lived in a midtown apartment for a year.
In a 2012 Rolling Stone profile, Karen shared the reaction she received to her decision to leave their life in Kentucky so that her daughter could start her career.
"It might as well have been a different planet. Our friends thought we were nuts. We thought we were nuts. But her brothers told us, 'This is her baseball diamond. You've gotta let her play," she recalled.
Karen added, "We thought she'd go out to New York, and they'd say, 'Don't let the door hit you on the way out.' If it wasn't for her agent literally almost choking me, saying, 'You don't understand, I've never seen a 14-year-old like this,' we might not have made it."
Her new comedy hits theaters on Friday, June 23.
