She brought a touch of Hollywood to Sunday’s BAFTAs, but things soon turned controversial when viewers accused her behaving like a ‘spoiled brat’ at the show.
But hours after igniting ire for her ‘rude and discourteous’ exchange with the ceremony’s host Joanna Lumley, Jennifer Lawrence was up and hitting the streets of London on Monday morning, as she prepared for a busy day of appointments.
As handlers shielded her under umbrellas, the Oscar-winning actress, 27, stepped out onto the rain-soaked capital’s streets in patterned black palazzo pants and a black coat, under which she wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the words ‘Oh My Yes’.
Standing tall in a pair of open-toe embellished heels, the screen star wore her tresses in bold waves, while she highlighted her natural beauty with a rich palette of makeup that included bold red lipstick and a deep blush.
Toting a stylish black leather handbag, the American Hustle star looked fresh-faced and effortlessly stylish as she stepped out for a day of errands that included a scheduled stop at the London studios of KISS FM.
Just hours earlier, the Kentucky-born beauty was branded a ‘spoiled brat’ by some disgruntled viewers, after she appeared to throw shade at host Joanna Lumley, 71.
Joanna, who was presenting the show for the first time after taking over from long-term host Stephen Fry, introduced her as the ‘hottest actress on the planet’ ahead of her presenting the Best British Film gong.
Kicking off the show, she said: ‘Right let’s start giving out some of those beautiful BAFTAs shall we?
‘And we start with the award for Outstanding British Film and who better to kick the whole evening off than the hottest actress on the planet. Soon to be seen in Red Sparrow, it’s the ravishing Jennifer Lawrence.’
Jennifer, 27, walked onstage wearing a black gown with contrasting white chiffon sleeves and said: ‘Hi. That was a bit much, but thank you Joanna.’
While it may have been meant as a joke, viewers went wild on Twitter in shocked over Jennifer’s words and tone.
They wrote: ‘Never liked Jennifer Lawrence. (Joan Rivers was right when she nicknamed her ‘Miss Arrogance’) and she was so rude to Joanna Lumley last night.
‘I think Joanna meant hottest as in most in demand not in looks. Either way, Jennifer came off as a stuck up brat.’ ‘It looked really bad. Jennifer Lawrence came off as snippy and churlish. I thought Joanna Lumley was being sincere and lovely. I’ve not been a fan of JL.
‘Now officially *overexposed* in my book. Two good performances. That’s about it. Now Lawrence behaves entitled.’
‘Jennifer Lawrence was rude to Joanna Lumley who the F*** does she think she is. this is the last straw.’
