Jennifer Lawrence's Nostalgic Coat Stuns LA - Is the 2000s Fashion Comeback Here to Stay?

Hold onto your hats, fashionistas! Rihanna isn't the only fashion-forward mama in town. The iconic Jennifer Lawrence, who’s expecting her second little one with hubby Cooke Maroney, just rocked the streets of LA in a jaw-dropping cocoon coat, setting the stage for 2025's hottest outerwear trend. But here's the kicker: this “It” piece is a throwback from the mid-2000s! Who doesn't love a good fashion revival?

In a chic twist on the trend, Lawrence donned a vintage ivory masterpiece from Nicholas Ghesquière’s legendary Fall 2006 collection for Balenciaga. Talk about a fashion flashback! Ghesquière, now dazzling us all as the creative director of womenswear at Louis Vuitton, had a 15-year reign at Balenciaga that’s still legendary in fashion circles. Those in the know can’t get enough of his cocoon jackets, inspired by original designs of Balenciaga’s fab founder, Cristobal Balenciaga.

Lawrence’s coat is pure sculptural elegance with its dramatic collar and cozy buttons. Keeping it effortlessly chic, she paired it with a comfy white tee accentuating her blossoming baby bump, black trousers, retro glasses, and the comfiest sneakers. Unlike the original black and white check version on the runway, Lawrence opted for a timeless solid eggshell look.

Ever since revealing her pregnancy in October 2024, J-Law’s maternity style has been making waves. Her first post-announcement appearance? A stunning Dior coat dress that left fans in awe. When she's not gracing the red carpet, it's all about comfort chic for Lawrence: think slouchy shirts and Puma sneakers. Though, she occasionally breaks her cozy streak with a dazzling ensemble, like heeled boots from a rainy November day!

And let's not forget another vintage fashion moment from her pregnancy fashion archives—a mesmerizing sheer couture dress from Christian Lacroix.

With 2025 just around the corner, fashion whispers are buzzing about what the next “It” jacket will be. While 2024 gave us ties between barn jackets and humble chore coats, Lawrence is making a bold case for bringing the 2006 cocoon coat back to the future. Is it time to raid your closet for some vintage gold? 🌟
