Jennifer Lawrence Rocks Fall's Hottest Colour Trend in Chocolate Brown Maternity Look
The Academy Award-winning actor embraced fall’s trending chocolate brown hue in a stunning Bottega Veneta gown.
Jennifer Lawrence confirmed chocolate brown is a must-have colour this season after she stepped out Sunday evening in Los Angeles for the 2024 Governors Awards.
The Academy Award-winning actor sported a custom gown by Bottega Veneta, which featured elegant ruching on one shoulder and one side of the hip, both accented by the brand’s signature golden, teardrop-shaped metallic buckles. Lawrence is currently pregnant with her second child with husband Cooke Maroney. They welcomed their first child in February 2022. The slinky, figure-hugging dress cinched around Lawrence’s growing baby bump made for chic maternity fashion as she posed for pictures.
This deep, rich shade has long been a cold-weather staple, but this year it dominated runways for Miu Miu and Stella McCartney. Its popularity is no surprise—chocolate brown is timeless and versatile, offering the appeal of black with a warm, inviting undertone and an effortlessly luxurious feel. The lavish looking hue adds an undeniable touch of opulence and indulgence to any look, be it crafted from suede or other key fall fabrics.
