She's back, and more stunning than ever! Jennifer Lawrence ruled the red carpet at the 2016 British Academy Britannia Awards in Los Angeles on Friday, October 28, after taking a lengthy break from the awards season spotlight.
The Oscar-winning actress, 26, stunned in a blush pink dress from Elie Saab's spring/summer 2017 collection. The form-fitting gown featured two cutouts that showed off Lawrence's cleavage, as well as a cinched waist that was accentuated with a light pink belt.
Lawrence (who was recently named Forbes' highest-paid actress for 2016) wore her blonde locks in an updo and showcased her natural beauty with minimal makeup and accessories. She notably attended the star-studded awards ceremony alone, leaving behind her rumored new boyfriend, Darren Aronofsky.
Later in the evening, the Hunger Games star presented her Beaver costar and director Jodie Foster with the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film.
"Jodie once said to me, 'One day you'll look back at the choices you made as an actor and it will reflect something that was going on in your personal life,'" Lawrence said during her speech. "Well, I did, and the consistent theme in all of my characters was they were all white trash with too much responsibility. When you think about it, it's completely true. Whereas Jodie's, I see a brave woman in a scary place. It reminded me of a woman who went behind the lines and started directing when it was not trendy for women to do such a thing."
As the Joy actress welcomed Foster, 53, to the stage, she quipped, "Please welcome my vote for the next president of the United States."
Samuel L. Jackson, Ricky Gervais, Felicity Jones and Ewan McGregor were among the dozens of other A-listers who also attended the 2016 BAFTAs on Friday night.
