Hey! Iâve seen that T-shirt before! On June 6, Jennifer Lawrence was photographed in New York City wearing the iconic Loewe âI Told Yaâ T-shirt ($330), made famous by Zendaya and Josh OâConnor, who both wore the tee in the movie Challengers.
The shirt itself is inspired by another American icon, John F. Kennedy Jr., who was photographed wearing a version of the slogan tee back in the â90s. Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson, who also served as the costume designer on Challengers, told WWD of his muse. âWhen JFK Jr. was younger, in the â80s and â90s, there was kind of an effortlessness to his wardrobeâlike he could wear anything, and sex appeal would always be there.â
MMVV
Lawrence dressed the statement tee up a bit for an outing on June 6, pairing the gray shirt with with pleated black trousers and a black Dior handbag slung over her shoulder. To complete the look, she added tortoise shell sunglasses and flat leather sandals. The outfit is effortless, luxe, and so Jennifer Lawrence.
Tell me if Iâm reading too much into this butâ¦is JLaw possibly trying to send some kind of message (aside from the obvious one) with this top? Challengers was directed by Luca Guadagnino, who is also directing Lawrence in an upcoming film called Burial Rites, per Screen Rant. After the tee went semi-viral, OâConnor told Rolling Stone, âItâs such a cheeky T-shirt. Just so cheeky, and I really liked wearing it.â
Maybe Lawrence is trying to shout out Guadagnino. Or maybe Iâm just wearing my tin foil hat a little too tight.
