Jennifer Lawrence Just Took the Mermaidcore Trend to Wildly Chic New Heights

Jennifer Lawrence has been on an epic press tour for her new film No Hard Feelings, and the looks she and stylist Jamie Mizrahi have put together for it are nothing short of a fashion girl's dream. One, in particular, stood out to me for its sophisticated mermaidcore vibes. Allow me to explain.

When envisioning mermaidcore, think of shimmery sequin-laden pastels, seashell motifs, iridescent oyster hues, and fish scales—essentially anything Ariel would wear. When I think of Lawrence, I don't really associate her with the Y2K-adjacent mermaidcore aesthetic, but while in New York City this week, she wore a mermaidcore piece with a sophisticated twist.

The look, which came straight from the Armani Privé archives (fall 2019 couture collection, to be exact), consisted of a sheer pink iridescent jumpsuit paired with a fitted black blazer. And I don't know about you, but it's making me want to go out and buy some iridescent things. Scroll on to do just that.
