Jennifer Lawrence candidly recalled a major fashion faux-pas she stumbled into when she attended her first Sundance Film Festival in 2010.
She was just 19 years old when she traveled up to snowy Park City, Utah for the premiere of her breakthrough movie Winter’s Bone.
Her performance as a scrappy teenager in the Ozarks trying to save her family from eviction was showered with acclaim, earning her the Oscar nomination and becoming the launchpad for her rise to stardom.
However when she looked back on that fateful premiere to People this week, she remembered a disastrous footwear decision she made.
‘I was in, like, Louboutin boots sliding all over the place,’ she said. ‘Trying to walk in high heels through frozen streets, that stood out.’

When Jennifer attended her first Sundance, she quickly realized what an error she had made when picking out her boots.
By the time she attended the SAGIndie Actors Brunch at the festival, one day after the premiere, she had acquired set of footwear much better suited to her setting.
Jennifer earned a best actress Oscar nomination for Winter’s Bone in 2011, setting the stage for her triumphant conquest of Hollywood.
By the following year, she became a world-famous action star in The Hunger Games, and in 2013 she won the best actress Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook.
She became a mainstay of major franchise tentpoles, acting in not just the Hunger Games film series but also the X-Men movies.
In a 2022 interview, she admitted she felt like a ‘commodity’ and ‘lost a sense of control’ during the heady early years of her stratospheric fame.
‘When I reflect now, I can’t think of those following years, [because there was] just a loss of control, she remarked, according to Variety.

She made the remarks to Francine Stock during an onstage interview for the London Film Festival’s Screen Talk series.
‘I think I lost a sense of control,’ she said. ‘Between The Hunger Games coming out and winning the Oscar [for 2012’s Silver Lining Playbook], I became such a commodity that I felt like every decision was a big, big group decision.’
Jennifer announced in September 2017 that she was taking a sabbatical from acting and made her comeback with the 2021 Netflix hit Don’t Look Up, amid a star-studded cast including Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep.
When the Me Too movement took off early in her hiatus, one of Harvey Weinstein’s accusers claimed that the producer told her: ‘I slept with Jennifer Lawrence and look where she is; she has just won an Oscar.’
Jennifer staunchly denied that she ever had sex with Harvey, issuing a statement at the time saying: ‘My heart breaks for all the women who were victimized by Harvey Weinstein…. I have never had anything but a professional relationship with him.’
She went on: ‘This is yet another example of the predatory tactics and lies that he engaged in to lure countless women.’
