Jennifer Lawrence isn't here for your dress shaming, people
Jennifer Lawrence doesn't address the public on social media much, so when she does, it's best to listen.
Today, she's here to defend her decision amidst what she calls the "'Jennifer Lawrence wearing a revealing dress in the cold' controversy."
While attending a press call for her latest film Red Sparrow yesterday, Lawrence joined her co-stars on a balcony in London on a blistering winter's day to snap a few promotional images. Lawrence's choice of dress managed to upstage the event and sparked "controversy" online.
Her cast mates were all bundled up in coats, while she posed in a dress that apparently too much for some folks who took to Twitter to share their unnecessary thoughts on her wardrobe choices.

"This is not only utterly ridiculous, I am extremely offended," she wrote on Facebook, responding to the comments. "That Versace dress was fabulous, you think I'm going to cover that gorgeous dress up with a coat and a scarf? I was outside for five minutes. I would have stood in the snow for that dress because I love fashion and that was my choice."
True equality means either Jennifer Lawrence getting a coat, or Jeremy Irons having to pose for a photocall in assless chaps.

It must be about 3 degrees in London ATM, cold enough that the bloke actors have to wear coats and scarves to their press call and yet poor Jennifer Lawrence is wearing a small amount of fabric some might call a dress. pic.twitter.com/GoVfPscRWi

"This is sexist, this is ridiculous, this is not feminism. Over-reacting about everything someone says or does, creating controversy over silly innocuous things such as what I choose to wear or not wear, is not moving us forward," Lawrence continued, responding to the many tweets, like the ones above, commenting on her dress.
If you're worried about her, don't be. Lawrence insured everyone she has full autonomy as an adult human over what she wears. "Everything you see me wear is my choice," she wrote. "And if I want to be cold THAT'S MY CHOICE TOO!"
Some folks, like celebrity fashion experts Tom and Lorenzo, have pointed out that photo calls are generally casual affairs and there may be a calculated reason for her dress.
"She’s selling a film in which she stars as a super-sexy femme fatale spy," they wrote. "No one else in the cast is selling that story in their clothing because they’re not playing super-sexy femme fatale spies in this film."
Regardless, let her be cold if she wants to be cold. You can read her full post below:
