Jennifer Lawrence made a surprise appearance at the Oscars, showing up to the 2024 show in a gorgeous Dior Haute Couture polka-dot gown, paired with Swarovski jewelry and Manolo Blahnik heels. Truly no one else could make polka dots look this good.

This is hardly J.Law’s first Oscar rodeo: She won Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook and was nominated for Winter’s Bone, Joy, and American Hustle. A quick retrospective of those looks incoming:

And who could forget that iconic fall up the Oscars stairs in 2013? The photos of that moment are truly a Renaissance painting. Btw, Jennifer was nominated for a Golden Globe this year for No Hard Feelings and was seen jokingly mouthing, “If I don’t win, I’m leaving” when the camera panned to her.

It was truly a “we are so back” moment. She was then captured looking absolutely thrilled when Emma Stone won for Poor Things.

Meanwhile, Emma is nominated for Best Actress tonight at the Oscars, so expect these two to have several moments when/if she wins. Also, a fun story before we go: Emma and Jennifer have been friends for years and actually met through Woody Harrelson—who Emma worked with on Zombieland and J.Law worked with on Hunger Games. As Jennifer put it to Vanity Fair in 2016, “[She] texted me that she got my number from Woody. I replied, Fuck off!’ And we’ve been really good friends ever since.” This friendship is a reminder that Hollywood sometimes does give us nice things.
