Jennifer Lawrence just wore a shirt dress… but it’s not what you’d probably expect.  

Attending a photocall for her new movie No Hard Feelings, the 32-year-old actress posed on the carpet in a flouncy and bouncy Alaia shirt dress. While her dress wasn’t quite as casual as Tom Cruise in Risky Business or as resourceful as an I-just-stole-this-outfit-out-of-my-partner’s closet, like Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, it was both dressy and casual in an utterly swanky way. 

She kept her accessories minimal, since the button-up design and breezy fit-and-flare silhouette created the perfect amount of drama. For a cohesive look, Lawrence matched her open-toed heels to the black belt cinching in her waist and added a pair of big, bold sunglasses.

J.Law can’t take credit for starting the shirt dress trend, since plenty of other celebrities have been wearing them lately. Oprah opted for an oversized pinstripe button-down (which was borderline a dress) earlier this month, and Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a $4,700 Valentino dress just a few days before J.Law wore hers. 

We could rattle off a handful of reasons why you should own one too, but it comes down to these main three: They’re stylish, flattering, and a sure-fire way to stick it to sweat-trapping styles.

Shirt Dresses Inspired by Jennifer Lawrence 

The Cazie Mini Dress from Showpo might not have a chunky black belt, but it does have a fitted waist, balloon sleeves, and shiny gold buttons. It’s also made from 100 percent cotton — hello, cool girl summer — and you could always add a belt of your own on top. And clearly, people are getting the shirt dress memo, because sizes are going quickly.

For an option that still emphasizes the waist, just a little less than J.Law’s, we suggest grabbing the Everyday Dreams White Long Sleeve Button-Up Mini Dress from Lulus. It still has flattering details, like the sash belt and the tiered design at the bottom, but it lies looser on the body. It’s also more than 40 percent off right now.

Love J.Law’s look, but feel like it might be too short for you? The Amazon Essentials Short Seeve Button Font Belted Shirt Dress might be one to consider. The length falls below the knees, but there are slits on the side for some leg display, too. Plus, this one has short sleeves for more breathability. 

One shopper, who bought it in black, said it’s “perfect for hot weather, especially if you need to be a little more covered.” Another shopper explained that they were impressed with its versatility: “It is so basic, [and] it can be worn [in] so many ways.” You can wear it, “with [the] belt, without [the] belt, or even as a coat,” they added.
