Whether the breakup was amicable or awful, everyone always wants to look smokin' when running into an ex (it's just human nature). Well, Jennifer Lawrence [1] just experienced our fantasy in real life at the BAM Gala in New York City, where she crossed paths with ex (and Mother director) Darren Aronofsky [2] while rocking a white-hot slip dress.
Truth be told, both the encounter and the outfit were, most likely, not left up to chance — Aronofsky was actually one of the evening's honourees, so Jennifer could be sure she would be seeing her old flame. Even though there seems to be no bad blood between the two, if she's like the rest of us, she dressed to impress anyway [3]. Her satiny, corset-style slip dress was the kind of sexy frock that leaves a lasting impression — just the type you'd want an ex to have.
Whether you want to send that "eat your heart out" message to someone in particular or you're just after a jaw-dropping LWD for Summer parties, check out Jennifer's look [4] for inspiration ahead. Then, shop some look-alikes of your own — and get ready to sizzle.
