If you were among the many who couldn’t stop obsessing over Jennifer Lawrence’s stunning blue silk and mesh dress at the 2012 People’s Choice Awards, you’re in good company.
Jennifer Lawrence wore Jack Vartanian earrings and completed the look with a ponytail and smoky eyes
She styled the electric blue dress with black Sergio Rossi ‘Boidea’ peep-toe heels and Jack Vartanian earrings—an effortlessly glamorous combo.
Fun fact: Jennifer has also been spotted in shoes by Gianvito Rossi, Sergio Rossi’s son and a luxury footwear designer in his own right.
While out in New York, she paired a breezy tiered mini dress with cork-heeled Gianvito Rossi slingback sandals, adding a summery touch to her street style. Later, while promoting “Causeway” at the BFI London Film Festival, she chose classic Gianvito Rossi heels to finish off a sleek black Del Core cape dress—proving her style game stays strong on and off the red carpet.

While it originally retailed for a steep $3,149 and was expected to arrive in late March 2012, the Viktor & Rolf dress has long since sold out—no surprise given its showstopping design and designer label.
