Sourcing one-of-a-kind archival pieces is Hollywood's newest tactic for showing off their wealth. But while most are interested in rare Chanel bags or red carpet gowns once worn by other iconic stars, Jennifer Lawrence is in a lane all her own.
In accordance with her signature laid-back style, the No Hard Feelings actor has taken to a different category of vintage: baseball caps. And I'm not talking about just any old sports styles, but long-lost movie merch from the early 2000s.
On April 28, Lawrence stepped out in New York City wearing yet another of her casual-cool 'fits. She paired a vintage "RECYCLE" tee with cream-colored, draw-string pants. Her accessories, meanwhile, are where her fashion prowess reared its head.
The star added several luxe additions to her afternoon look, including St Agni's $299 micro bag-necklace hybrid and a pair of Dune flip-flops from The Row—a $690 style that has also been worn by both Ashley and Elizabeth Olsen.

Though each piece boasted an impressive price tag of their own, Lawrence's baby pink baseball cap acted as the true hero of her look. She wore a camper hat embroidered with the words "IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE," the title of a 2001 film following two friends who fall in love, after finding out their respective spouses are having an affair together.
This isn't even the most recent increment of Lawrence's expansive cap collection. The day after this excursion, she stepped out again wearing a Mary Jane sneakers and a Shania Twain hat—merch from the 1997 release of the country star's song "Still the One."
One week prior, the Hunger Games star repped a different '10s saga, when she debuted a vintage Twilight: Breaking Dawn baseball cap, styled similarly, with black pants and a gray half-zip. Fingers crossed she wears a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants one next.

Dance Aerobics is So Deeply Uncool…And That's Why I Love It

There are people out there who will tell you that you should never do any form of physical activity that you don't enjoy. While I respect and admire their commitment to approaching exercise with zeal, I have to ask: how? I genuinely love various forms of exercise (which, at the moment, include mat Pilates, swimming laps, going for long walks with my dog, and weeding crabgrass at the community garden), but I've come to think of them as a kind of deposit in my future-happiness account; I know movement will eventually make me feel great, especially now that I'm no longer working out in a constant quest to lose weight, but in the actual moment of moving—and, even more so, the moment before a workout class when I have to squeeze myself into a sports bra and actually get out the door—I'm often full of dread. This was true, at least, until I attended my first 'fiercely noncompetitive dance aerobics' class at Pony Sweat, a studio based in my hometown of L.A.'s Frogtown neighborhood that describes its practice as feeling like 'dancing in your bedroom to music from a favorite mixtape.' Terrible dancer that I am (unless I've had two to four martinis, in which case all bets are off), I felt nervous and typically dread-filled even stepping through the door of the Pony Sweat studio, but the moment the lights dimmed and the music started, something weird happened: I forgot to feel stupid. I don't know exactly what it was about Pony Sweat that got me out of my shell and happily dancing around to combinations I'd never seen or tried before, but I'm guessing it was a combination of the gloriously retro '80s soundtrack, the unbridled enthusiasm of the dancers around me (many of whom, like me, weren't perfectly on-beat and didn't seem to have any prior familiarity with the workout), and the instructor, Emilia, shouting what I'm now turning into a kind of exercise mantra: 'Fuck the moves.' I ended the hour-long class with sore calves and an exhausted glow, driving home as fast as I could to gush about Pony Sweat to my boyfriend and pre-book my best friend to attend the next week's class with me—and although I might have expected to feel good after the class, what really surprised me was how much fun I had during and how little clock-watching I did as I bopped around. There are definitely workouts I've enjoyed in which knowing exactly what you're doing matters—weight lifting, for instance, sort of depends on your ability to listen to instructions and not accidentally injure yourself with something heavy—but the loosey-goosey, 'do what feels fun' approach of Pony Sweat really speaks to me right now as a 31-year-old doing my best to get comfortable being bad at things. I've always resented the aspects of life that are hard for me (math, cleaning, driving, the list goes on), but exercise is a low-key, low-stakes way to lean into the question of what my time and my life would look like if I reframed my idea of perfection and focused instead on trying to have genuine fun while also meeting my bodily movement goals.

NBA Finals: Look Beyond TV Ratings For Keys To Success

The National Basketball Association Finals have arrived, and you know what that means for the media coverage – a lot of headlines about TV ratings. Embittered New York Knicks fans are already preparing their collective 'I told you so' with the likelihood of historically low ratings between two small TV market teams, the Oklahoma City Thunder (47th ranked market) and the Indiana Pacers (from the 25th ranked market and the team that defeated the Knicks). But for the NBA, its business partners and even for the folks at ABC and ESPN who are broadcasting the Finals, focusing so heavily on TV ratings is just so 1990s. There is a much more complex tableaux of media measurement metrics that are ultimately far more relevant to business success and failure here. Yes, the NBA Finals TV ratings will likely be low by any historical standard. In addition to the presence of small-market teams, the Finals matchup lacks marquee franchise names like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. And there is no larger-than-life superstar like LeBron James or Michael Jordan, but how many of those are there? It's true that NBA ratings have been falling for years. Last year's NBA Finals between the Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks averaged 11.3 million viewers, down 27% from 2014 (LeBron James was playing in those), and down 37% from 2004 (with the Lakers and Kobe Bryant). The ratings for the NBA playoffs are actually slightly up this year compared to a year ago. But more broadly, the entire TV ratings universe has fallen 54% in the last 10 years. 'Linear TV' – broadcast and cable – now accounts for less than 50% of all the video viewing in the U.S. Is any of this breaking news anymore? Can we broaden our lens a bit in analyzing success and failure? Most importantly for the solidity of the NBA's future as well as its present is the new media rights deal it announced last July which is going into effect next season. The NBA closed an 11-year, $76 billion agreement for national TV and streaming distribution with Disney (ESPN and ABC), NBCUniversal (including Peacock) and Amazon. That's a dollar amount three times larger than the deal the NBA signed with Turner Networks (now part of Warner Bros. Discovery) and Disney nine years ago. None of the new and returning media partners were unaware of the ratings environment when they signed on the dotted line. As the NBA's SVP for Partnerships, Lauren Sullivan, told me in the midst of busy Finals prep, the new deal will bring 40% more nationally televised games during the regular season, including weekly national prime time broadcasts on NBC on Tuesday and Sunday nights, as well as a massive increase in nationally streamed games via Peacock and Amazon. There's little or no ability to predict the future path of ratings, but in a world of future ratings blindness, the one-eyed live sports broadcast remains King. This enhanced distribution helps drive awareness and fan engagement throughout the year, not just during the Finals. Sullivan emphasized throughout the course of our discussion of the NBA Finals that the league's approach to marketing demands '365-day planning and storytelling [with an] Partnerships have to work for all. NBA team marketing sponsorship revenues topped $1.6 billion last year, and marketers and media partners get access to the breadth of the NBA fan base especially its highly engaged younger audiences, which aren't easy to reach anymore on linear TV broadcasts. Marketers with ongoing NBA partnerships, including through the Finals, include Puma, Michelob Ultra and YouTube TV. The metrics around social media fan engagement are increasingly critical, as both Sullivan as well as the NBA's SVP for Digital and Social Content Bob Carney pointed out to me. According to Carney, the NBA works with 'an unbelievably rich community' comprised of the league, broadcast partners like ESPN, digital and social media partners such as Bleacher Report and House of Highlights, individual media talent and a huge creator community that the NBA has cultivated over the course of the last decade. As Carney pointed out, the NBA social content strategy leans heavily into its Instagram account (with its 90 million followers), and Sullivan proudly trumpeted the league's 'takeover' of Instagram's own Instagram account (that's a thing) which has over 700 million followers. Video highlights are a huge part of the NBA's content strategy given that social media algorithms are driven by the amount of time spent with videos, and the NBA is constantly looking to create stories with its players, teams and marketing partners that will drive extended video viewing. One of the immediate winners in the NBA Finals marketing sweepstakes is Converse which has hit the jackpot with its celebrity endorser, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ('SGA'), the NBA's new MVP and the star of the Finals-playing Thunder, a deal in play long before the Finals. In case you haven't heard much of him, SGA leads all NBA players in social media engagement in these playoffs with 864 million views. You can add in fellow shoe brand Puma (leaning into the now-laughable designation of Pacers' star Tyrese Haliburton as 'overrated" by his fellow players). Halliburton, that 'overrated' guy, is third in social media playoff views with 679 million. Needless to say, partnerships with these stars aren't going to live or die on TV ratings. Yeah, but it's still two small market teams playing in the Finals, right? Carney almost laughed at the notion that young audiences, especially internationally, particularly care about the market size of the NBA Finalists. The Finals will be distributed in 214 countries and territories in 60 languages, with 'NBA House' live fan events in Brazil, Canada, Mexico and India, and official viewing parties in China, Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It's all part of the league's long-term strategy of expanding its global footprint. For those still fixated on the U.S. linear TV ratings, you need to get your eye on the bouncing ball.
