Jennifer Lawrence Just Dressed Like a Modern-Day "Swan" for Dinner in Paris

First came quiet luxury, then came elegant everything, and now the fashion world is taking things a step further as we've officially entered the era of "the swan." Of course, if you're familiar with the popular FX series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, you're probably aware of the glamorous socialites that make up the characters. If you're not familiar, a "swan" is exactly what you'd guess: a beautiful, graceful person. Dressing like these glamorous socialites of the 1960s was becoming a thing even before Prada's F/W 24 collection debuted at the most recent Milan Fashion Week, and now it's solidified. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons dressed all of their models in pencil or full skirts, double-breasted outerwear, kitten heels, and even pillbox hats. And Jennifer Lawrence has clearly been influenced, whether subconsciously or not.
While out to dinner in Paris earlier this week, Lawrence fit the part of a modern-day "swan." She paired a butter-colored shirt-jacket with a leather pencil skirt, knee boots, and a silk scarf tied under her chin like a bonnet. She looked glamous and a bit retro but also cool. As is always the case, everything old is new again in fashion. Keep scrolling to add a few swan-like pieces to your wardrobe.
