Red Carpet Rebels: When Sweaters Steal the Show

Red carpets are usually a place for big, flashy dresses.

But lately, some stars are shaking things up.

• Jennifer Lawrence showed up at the Rome Film Festival in a cozy sweater and skirt.
• It was a big change from the usual fancy gowns.
• People noticed.

Sweaters Aren't Usually Seen on Red Carpets

For years, stars have worn more and more extravagant outfits:

• Think huge dresses with long trains.
• Some even come with fancy headpieces.

But Lawrence's outfit was different:

• It was simple and comfortable.
• Some people might think it wasn't fancy enough.
• But others loved it.

Lawrence's Outfit

• From Dior's new collection.
• Stylish, but not over the top.

She's not the only one breaking the rules:

• Megan Stalter wore jeans to the Emmys.
• Taylor Russell wore vintage Levi's to the Fashion Awards.
• Even Kristen Stewart wore a sweater dress to the Toronto Film Festival.

A Big Question

These stars are asking:

• Can red carpet fashion be more relaxed?

• In the past, celebrities dressed how they wanted.
• Now, there's more pressure to look perfect.
• But maybe it's time for a change.

The Cannes Film Festival

• Tried to ban big dresses.
• Said the dresses were too big and caused problems.
• But no one really listened.

Maybe it's time for a new look.
