"Jennifer Lawrence&amp;#39;s Red-Carpet Style Transformation\\nBefore Jennifer Lawrence was &amp;quot;the world&amp;#39;s most desirable woman,&amp;quot; she was hiding under a pile of tulle skirts, patterned shifts, and unflattering metallics. Here&amp;#39;s how the young bombshell learned how to dress like a true A-lister.\\nLawrence was acting full-time during what would have been her senior year in high school, but she fulfilled her prom fantasies with this outfit. From the tulle-lined skirt to the sling-back kitten heels (not to mention the updo and dangly diamond earrings), she's one tiara short of a prom queen.\\nWe love Lawrence's dark, [matchy-matchy lips and nails,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2012/06/makeup-ideas-coordinating-lips-nails.html) but the metallic dress reminds us of a Chipotle burrito wrapper\u2014and is just about as flattering.\\nEventually Lawrence would earn her stripes\u2014but not with this outfit. The dress is flattering, but the distracting, white-and-black strappy sandals make the whole ensemble look chaotic.\\nLawrence's royal blue Stella McCartney dress is a hit\u2014but her mismatched choker? Miss.\\nEvery head on the red carpet turned when the *Winter's Bone* nominee stepped out of her limo in this stunningly simple Calvin Klein gown and buttery blonde [blowout.](http://www.allure.com/hair-ideas/2013/ten-commandments-for-the-best-blowout) In that moment, a bombshell was born.\\nFulfilling her duties as The Girl on Fire, Lawrence shined at the *Hunger Games* premiere in this gorgeous Prabal Gurung gown. Though she played a [brunette](http://www.allure.com/hair-ideas/2012/the-most-gorgeous-hair-color-ideas-for-brunettes) in the film, that didn't stop her from showing her true colors. \\\"She missed her [blonde hair,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2012/03/jennifer-lawrence-ditches-her.html)\\\" says Avon Global colorist Lorri Goddard, who dyed it back to blonde before Lawrence's press junket.\\nLawrence came unzipped in Paris, where she showed the perfect amount of skin in this sexy Tom Ford dress. A smooth side part and glossy [red lips](http://www.allure.com/makeup-looks/2013/the-best-red-lipsticks-for-your-skin-tone) kept the look youthful.\\nLawrence appears chic and Parisian in an unfussy hairstyle and sleek Christian Dior suit. But we're not crazy about the accessories. The bright pink clutch looks like a forced pop of color, and we would have rather seen pointy Louboutins (rather than strappy heels) peeking out from under her tailored pants.\\nLawrence reportedly wasn't feeling well at the Golden Globes, but you'd never know it in this gown. The face of Christian Dior [glows](http://www.allure.com/skin-care/2013/get-glowing-how-to-revive-dull-skin) in the perfect shade of red\u2014and the classic shape and waist-cinching belt accentuated her best assets.\\nThe lace fascinator, the [liquid liner,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2013/03/allure-exclusive-how-to-apply.html) the glossy red lips\u2014by the time our eyes reached Lawrence's collarbone, we didn't care what she was wearing. Turns out, the prettiest Dior dress on the red carpet. Punk? Not really. Perfection? Definitely.\\nPants? Who needs pants? Lawrence volunteered as a tribute\u2014knocking this daring look straight out of the park before most of her red carpet peers had the guts.\\nThe dress that launched a full-on meme\u2014this black and white Dior number bore a striking resemblance to the one Ariel wore in *The Little Mermaid*."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
