Jennifer Lawrence has become somewhat of a creature of habit when it comes to styling choices. After undergoing a quietly spectacular makeover a few years ago — an sartorial evolution that marked her return to the silver screen after giving birth to her first child — the Academy Award-winning actress has remained loyal to luxury brands, emerging names, and vintage favorites.
Always piecing together outfits that express her devotion to gorgeous fabrics and well-crafted basics, Lawrence never fails to throw a sartorial curve-ball into the mix that reminds us that, even if her wardrobe budget has increased, her taste for eccentricity and unpredictability remains the same. (After all, this is the woman who was wearing jelly shoes and floral denim years before designers like Chloé came to attention.)
It’s well known that this approach to pairing gorgeous wardrobe staples with more eclectic accessories has become her street style default, so it should be no surprise to see her revive this template for her latest off-duty look. What’s notable, however, is that she decided to repeat the outfit she wore a month ago, with one significant change.

For her most recent outing, the 35-year-old donned cherry blossom-colored trousers from Türkiye-based fashion brand Cidares. Leaning into the languid and bohemian nature of the silver sequin-embellished pants, she completed the look with a red crew-neck T-shirt and simple accessories, including a bubblegum pink baseball cap emblazoned with the iconic Wong Kar Wai romantic drama. in the mood for Love And an Hermès Lindy bag.
Still, what piqued our interest was the fact that she chose to pair her effortless dress with a summer trend revered by millennials—slide sandals. Lawrence’s precise slip-ons are a tan suede version of Pierre Hardy, but they signal a quiet rejection of current wardrobe staples — jelly fishermen, two-tone flip-flops — by some of NYC’s best-dressed people.

Of course, the Birkenstock Arizona, in all its orthopedic glory, is the style mostly associated with this silhouette, and with contemporary fashion brands like Song for the Mute and Danielle Frankel also co-signing on this shape, it’s only a matter of time before everyone is slipping into these like it’s 2010 again. Of course, those in the know will be well aware of just how much support this polarizing figure enjoys among fashion’s elite. (Lest we forget, Phoebe Philo presented a fur-lined interpretation for Celine’s spring/summer 2013 collection.)
Although the shoe’s popularity has certainly waned over the past decade, who would have predicted that a spontaneous rendition from Jennifer Lawrence would be all the polite slide needed to renew interest? And with the scorching temperatures of summer and the promise of seaside holidays on the horizon, what better time to give it another try? After all, Lena Dunham is having a cultural renaissance, indie sleaze is having her moment, and everyone on social media is crazy about cake once again, so why not throw it back with your summer shoe choices…
