Icy J-Law dresses down her critics

SHE was widely criticised for wearing a dress with a plunging neckline and thigh-high split to go out in the freezing cold.

But Jennifer Lawrence hit back, saying the revealing gown was her choice and she would wear a bikini under a snow suit next time.

The 27-year-old actress said she had worn the dress to Tuesday’s photoshoot in London for her latest film “because it was fabulous”.

“I wasn’t going to cover it up with a coat or why would I wear it? It was Versace,” she said. “I was outside for five minutes and if I choose to be cold then I choose to be cold.

“I mean, nobody told me I couldn’t wear a coat. In any case, I didn’t want to wear a coat at the photoshoot. I wore a coat to the photoshoot. But why hide the dress for the photographers?

“And nobody can tell me what to wear and not what to wear. It’s my choice to wear a dress that I feel fabulous in,” she said.

Puffing on an e-cigarette, the Oscar-winning Hollywood star added “feminism is equality”. “It’s social, political and economic equality. It does not mean I have to wear a coat when you think I should. It does not mean I shouldn’t get nude when you think I shouldn’t. I’m a grownass woman and I can wear or not wear whatever I please.”

Bursting out laughing, she asked: “Can you tell I’ve had a lot of caffeine and that I’m fired up? Seriously, though, why is this a controversy? I wore a beautiful dress that made me feel gorgeous.

“People make controversies just for sport and it’s actually just irresponsible, because there’s no controversy there,” she said. – Daily Mail
