Looking back: Jennifer Lawrence’s first dance experience in Louboutins, 14 years on.

Jennifer Lawrence openly shared a funny fashion mishap she experienced when attending her first Sundance Film Festival in 2010. At the young age of 19, she traveled to snowy Park City, Utah for the debut of her breakthrough film, Winter’s Bone. Her portrayal of a determined teenager in the Ozarks fighting to protect her family from eviction received high praise, leading to an Oscar nomination and launching her into stardom. Reminiscing on that memorable premiere, Lawrence recalled a regrettable choice in footwear. She humorously admitted to wearing slippery Louboutin boots, struggling to navigate icy streets in high heels. “Walking in frozen streets in heels, definitely a standout moment,” she laughed.

Jennifer Lawrence is feeling remorseful about her choice of footwear at the Winter’s Bone premiere at Sundance 2010. She can be seen wearing the same high-heeled Louboutins at a different event later that day.

She described herself as feeling like she was in a pair of slippery boots, attempting to navigate through icy streets in high heels that stood out. This image was captured in her premiere outfit for a Sunday portrait.

Praised for her portrayal of a determined teenage girl in the Ozarks fighting to save her family from eviction, she received an Oscar nomination. At Sundance nowadays, she can easily spot the newcomers by their lack of proper snow boots. Jennifer’s first experience at Sundance made her realize she had made a mistake with her choice of footwear. However, by the time she attended the SAG Indie Actors Brunch, she had upgraded to more suitable boots for the event.

Jennifer’s Best Actress Oscar nomination for “Winter’s Bone” in 2011 paved the way for her successful Hollywood career. The following year, she rose to fame as an action star in “The Hunger Games,” and in 2013, she won the Best Actress Oscar for “Silver Linings Playbook.” She became a prominent figure in major film franchises, appearing not only in “The Hunger Games” series but also in the X-Men movies.

In a 2022 interview, Jennifer confessed to feeling like a “commodity” and losing a sense of control during the initial years of her rapid rise to fame. She reflected on that period, noting the loss of control she experienced during her early years of stardom. According to Variety, she admitted, “When I reflect now, I can’t think of those following years because there was just a loss of control.”

Jennifer received a nomination for Best Actress at the Oscars for her role in Winter’s Bone in 2011, paving the way for her successful takeover of Hollywood.

In the next year, she rose to fame globally as an action star in the popular movie The Hunger Games, appearing alongside Josh Hutcherson in its sequel, Catching Fire.

In current times, she can easily spot the newbies at Sundance because they’re not wearing proper snow boots, as seen at this month’s Golden Globes. She made these comments during an on-stage interview with Francine Stock at the London Film Festival’s Screen Talk series.

Reflecting on her past, she admitted to feeling a loss of control during the overwhelming success of The Hunger Games and winning the Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook in 2012. She felt like every decision she made was heavily influenced by external factors.

Jennifer took a break from acting in September 2017 and made a comeback with the 2021 Netflix hit Don’t Look Up, alongside actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep.

During her hiatus, amidst the rise of the Me Too movement, one of Harvey Weinstein’s accusers claimed that he used Jennifer Lawrence’s name to pressure her, stating that he had a sexual relationship with Jennifer which led to her Oscar win. Jennifer fiercely denied these claims, asserting that she’s only had a professional relationship with Weinstein.

Jennifer continued by addressing Weinstein’s predatory tactics and lies used to manipulate women, expressing sorrow for those who were victimized by him.
