Patrick Demarchelier for Glamour(LOS ANGELES) — Jennifer Lawrence always looks fabulous on the red carpet dressed in designer fashions, so it’s pretty odd that she describes her style as “slutty power lesbian.”
The Oscar-winner tells Glamour magazine that she “didn’t used to” care about designers, and it was only “pretty recently” that she decided to “take control” of her style. “It was like, if I don’t start getting an opinion, I’m just gonna be like a puppet that’s being dressed by everybody else,” she explains.
But then, when asked about her personal style, J-Law says, “Slutty power lesbian. That is literally what I say to a stylist.” She laughs, “I don’t know if that’s offensive…”
Attempting to explain what she means, the actress, who’s a spokesperson for Dior, tells Glamour, “You don’t see me as a slutty power lesbian on the red carpet a lot, because I’m embodying the Dior woman, which is an honor.… But [also] I’ve got t*** and an a**. And there are things that are made for skinny people — like a lot of embroidery, or it covers a lot — and those make me look fat.”
She adds, “I have to show the lumps. If you have boobs, you have to show, like, ‘These are boobs. This isn’t cellulite.’” She laughs, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
OK, we still don’t know what “slutty power lesbian” means, but J-Law does say a bunch of other interesting stuff in the interview. For example:
On being chased by paparazzi because she’s famous: “I think that we should be allowed time off [from being famous]. Three months. ‘Oh, it’s my three months off. You can’t photograph me.’ I would love to be able to control being photographed. Then I wouldn’t have a new headline out today that I wore the same jeans three days in a row….[but] we are so lucky…I don’t like complaining about it.”
On Planned Parenthood: “I wouldn’t have been able to get birth control if it weren’t for Planned P. I wouldn’t have been able to get condoms and birth control and all these things I needed as a normal teenager who was growing up in a [religious household]…What harm comes from supplying people with birth control, condoms, Pap smears and cancer screenings?”
On the success of the Hunger Games films: “I think there was this studio mentality for a long time that women and girls can relate to a male hero, but boys and men can’t relate to a female hero. But that’s simply not true. And so we’ve fortunately proved that.”
On the leak of those stolen nude photos in 2014: “Even I’ve defended myself by saying I was in a relationship with a wonderful man for five years. But even if I wasn’t, even if I [just] went on a date with a guy — it doesn’t matter what the situation is. It’s your body. And you can do whatever you want.”
