If you’ve spent any time at all on the design side of TikTok these past few months, you’ve likely stumbled across the “unexpected red theory,” which suggests that a pop of red instantly elevates anything—whether it’s an outfit or a room. With red set to become the color of the season this fall, celebrities like Katie Holmes and Gigi Hadid have cashed in on the trend, accenting their looks with small bursts of the vivid hue. And now, Jennifer Lawrence is pushing the trend to its limits.
The No Hard Feelings star recently went shopping in New York City, and for the outing, she swapped the trendy pop of red for a deluge of crimson. Monochrome isn’t anything new when it comes to Lawrence’s street style, as she often sticks to a homogenized palette—though she tends not to stray far from understated colors like white or navy blue. Breaking out of her typical range of colors is also what makes this outfit that much more exciting.

She opted for an oversize merlot button-down from the Row, which she wore mostly unbuttoned, save for a few fastenings over her chest. For her bottoms, she tapped another piece from the Row, this time cherry red corduroy pants with a wide-leg silhouette.
J-Law continued the pigmented theme with a set of rouge Garrett Leight shades and rusty suede slip-on mules, then rounded out the look with a black iteration of Dior’s coveted saddle bag.
