‘Is She Just Bare on the Chair?’: Jennifer Lopez’s See-Through Dress Takes a Back Seat to Jennifer Lawrence’s Jaw-Dropping Look In One Clip

It’s not often that the spotlight can be taken away from Jennifer Lopez, but that’s what happened Sunday night at the Golden Globes.

Another Jennifer — Jennifer Lawrence to be exact — crashed Lopez’s entrance at the prestigious award show. Lopez was a presenter for Best Male Actor in a Musical/Comedy Motion Picture, while Lawrence was a nominee in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama category for her role in the horror comedy film “Die My Love.”

In a video shared by E! News, Sunday, Jan. 11, Lopez was walking back to her seat in a glittery brown lace Jean-Louis Cherrer flesh-colored gown with a mermaid hem.

Though the upload was clearly meant to be an admiration post for Lopez, Lawrence was caught in the clip, revealing a bit more than flesh, thus drawing viewers’ attention online.

As Lopez squeezed by Lawrence to get to her table, a seated Lawrence is seen assisting Lopez by pushing the train of her dress behind the chairs at their table.

Though the gesture was thoughtful, it was not enough to distract fans from the “Hunger Games” sitting with her dress hiked up in her chair. Her floral gown was pulled up so high that the top part of her thigh and most of her leg could be seen. 

Some observers imagined that Lawrence may have had her bare cheeks on the chair, and this speculation sparked up some comments under E! News’ post on Instagram.

One observant fan wrote, “What’s up with Jennifer Lawrence’s dress, is she just bare on the chair? Idk it looks weird lol.”

Another person who noticed wrote, “Is Jennifer Lawrence really sitting with her dress all the way up so you can practically see her booty is on the chair?”

A third person typed, “Why is Jennifer Lawrence sitting on that chair like it’s a toilet bowl?”

Though Lopez’s gown was sheer and parts of her body was visible as well, it seems not as many people were as interested in that as they were in Lawrence.

It wouldn’t be Lopez’s first time wearing something revealing or see though. She was the talk of the town after showing up at the 2000 Grammys in a cut-out and sheer Versace dress. She scorched the red carpet for the 2016 Billboard Latin Music Awards wearing not one but two sparkling heavily cut out dresses. In 2024, she attended the Toronto International Film Festival in a striking gown which showed off the entire sides of her body including her bosom, abdomen, and legs.

Not to mention much of her concert looks are skimpy as much as they are sparkly. 

As for Lawrence, her red carpet fashion looks has always stayed along the lines of sophisticated and minimalist. Every once in a while her looks can be slightly risqué, but they’re never as bold as Lopez’s.

 In fact, her Golden Globes dress is one of the more racier looks that she’s worn on a red carpet. It was also sheer with flowers covering her intimate areas and cutouts around her abdomen region. 

But these two ladies weren’t the only ones who were turning heads at the event. Other women who nailed the red carpet  were Olandria Carthen, Teyana Taylor, Selena Gomez, Jenna Ortega, Chase Infini and more.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
