Jennifer Lawrence says she is "offended" by criticism of her low-cut dress
The actress has responded to criticism of her undressed outfit in the dead of winter.
Tuesday in London, the outside temperature was only five degrees in direct sunlight. The same day, for the press presentation of the film "Red Sparrow" by Francis Lawrence, the 27-year-old American actress appeared alongside the film crew.
Problem: if Jeremy Irons or Matthias Schoenaerts were warmly dressed, she only wore a Versace dress with a wide neckline. The visual confrontation shocked some who saw it as evidence of gender discrimination.
The fury has seized the social networks, where feminists accuse the star of "Hunger Games" a lack of solidarity. As proof of the "madness" of wearing such an outfit, some present in London had fun comparing the dress choice of the actress with their outfit the day before in the British capital.

Was the actress free to say "no" to the dress or the outdoor photoshoot, and get dressed? This is the whole debate that has agitated feminists since Tuesday.
"It's ridiculous, it's not feminism"
"Wow, I really don't know where to start about this controversy over Jennifer Lawrence wearing a light dress in the cold," the actress wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday. “It's not only perfectly ridiculous, but I'm also very offended,” she adds. Above all, she insists that she "chose" to dress like this.
"That Versace dress was fab, you thought I was going to cover it with a coat and a scarf?" She asks. Before adding: “I stayed outside for five minutes. I could have stayed in the snow with this dress, because I love fashion and it was my choice. "
"It's sexist, it's ridiculous, it's not feminism" to blame her for her outfit, "she adds. “Overreacting what someone says or does, creating controversy over things as trivial as my outfit, doesn't help anything at all. This creates an unnecessary distraction from the real problems. Wake up people. Everything you see me wearing is my own choice. And if I want to be cold THIS IS MY CHOICE TOO! "
"The expectations of women are increased tenfold"
Jennifer Lawrence's response did not silence the debate on inequalities. Actress Zelda Williams spoke: "I can't count the men I know got out of bed just before a press meeting, while their female colleagues have been up for four hours doing their hairstyles and their makeup. Expectations for a woman to be considered 'hard working' are increased tenfold, ”she writes.
Rather embarrassed, the colleague of Jennifer Lawrence in "Red Sparrow", Joel Edgerton, summarizes on the Yahoo site a "lose-lose" situation and reveals that the look of the actress had been the subject of a partnership with Versace. “It was a weird situation because, in real life, I would have given him my jacket, but then it would have annoyed a designer. They gave him a dress, a dress they didn't want to be covered with a coat, ”the actor explained.
