Jennifer Lawrence’s reign over Hollywood continues with the release of her latest film, Red Sparrow.
Jennifer Lawrence is at the forefront of a group of actresses who are redefining what it means to be a leading lady in Hollywood today. She is the Version 2.0 of the girl-next door archetype—now upgraded with razor-sharp wit and a self-deprecating humour that have charmed audiences who prefer their actresses with dimension off-screen, too. This is one red-carpet goddess who prefers to kick back in t-shirt and jeans, but when the time calls for it, has no problems stepping into a glamorous Dior gown with pomp and finesse.
The beauty that radiates from Lawrence isn’t of the same cookie-cutter calibre we’ve come to expect from the factory that is Tinseltown. Her bold, no-holds-barred honesty feels like a breath of fresh air in an industry rife with predictable statements stitched together by publicists. She is frank and not afraid to speak up on what’s plaguing the movie-making business, such as the time she penned the letter, “Why Do I Earn Less Than My Male Co-Stars?” The piece ruffled some feathers, but it highlighted Hollywood’s gender pay gap and deep-rooted sexism, in turn shifting the magnifying glass on issues affecting women on a broader scale.
