Jennifer Lawrence Doubles Down on a Controversial Shoe
Controversial shoe connoisseur Jennifer Lawrence knows that a bold footwear choice is a one-stop shop for livening up an outfit. Earlier this week, she reminded us of her love of the burgeoning sneakerina trend by wearing a pair of sporty Wales Bonner Mary-Janes. Last summer, she was quick to jump on the jelly shoe revival in The Row's netted flats. When it comes to wearing flip-flops on dry land, there is no neutral stance—you're either staunchly pro or against. Lawrence has long reminded us that she's firmly in support of a thin thong sandal, unfazed by leaving mere millimeters of space between her foot and the ground. Last month, she showed off her pair from The Row—a red rubber sole with a black grosgrain strap—which she styled with denim cutoffs and a slogan tee. Jennifer Lawrence in New York today.

She wore the sleek sandals with The Row's beige ankle-length Riah dress, a cord necklace (another staple of hers) with a large black onyx pendant, and a black suede tote from Liffner. For anyone out there who may be flip-flop-curious (or even anti!), take heed from Jennifer Lawrence: there are multiple ways to wear the shoe off the beach.

Jennifer Lawrence Doubles Down on the Sneakerina Shoe Trend
Jennifer Lawrence is usually an early adopter of footwear trends. As the long-held title holder of poster girl for quiet luxury (up there with Sofie Richie Grainge and the Olsens of course), she's ushered in the heatwave-friendly and now summer staple mesh ballet flat, pre-empted the jelly shoe revival, and incorporated some it-girl sneakers into her own J. Law style formula. While it took her a little while longer to experiment with the sneakerina trend, it looks like it's becoming a regular in her current summer shoe rotation—-and for good reason. Stepping out in Midtown in New York City, the Die, My Love actor made her second sartorial attempt at sneakerina styling, with a pair of black and cream-soled Wales Bonner velcro shoes. The Mary Jane style, with its thick embossed strap and Vibram sole, is also a perfect post partum shoe for Lawrence, who recently gave birth to her second child shared with partner Cooke Moroney.

The 'sneakerina'—a portmanteau of 'sneaker' and 'ballerina,' for the uninitiated—as a name, really, can be applied to any of the more feminine-shaped sneakers of late. Beloved by a more subversive and bold fashion set that includes Chloë Sevigny and Amelia Gray, it's a chaotic, polarizing footwear mash-up that Lawrence shows to be more versatile and relaxed than you'd first think. The rest of the outfit was textbook Jennifer Lawrence for summer. The actor wore an oversized white t-shirt with a Picasso print, a cobalt blue cardi tied around her shoulders (a beloved, transeasonal color), and loose primary red trousers. As for accessories, she forewent a deep dive into her enviable collection of vintage it-bags in favor of a cream knit tote bag, and added a black bucket hat when she'd usually don a novelty baseball cap. Has Oasis summer and the Britpop revival been an influence, perhaps? While Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner stick to the heeled sandal hybrid, Selena Gomez styles suits and thongs, and the Olsens outfit everyone in The Row's viral Dune flip-flops, the sneakerina brigade has a newfound member in Jennifer Lawrence. So if you haven't yet, now's your chance to step into the summer shoe trend seems confident is here to stay.
