Jennifer Lawrence always turns heads on the red carpet – but she looked like a true princess in this Christian Dior gown.

The 24-year-old actress, who was attending the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, stunned in a sleeveless white couture dress with printed detail which was flared out at the hips and flattered her figure.

JLaw wore her blonde tresses up with a few tumbling loose curls framing her face and perfect make-up with a smudge of pink lipgloss and thick black mascara.

She completed her fairytale look with a pair of gold strappy heels and although her attire was very different to her usual dressed-down appearance it made her stand out from the crowd.

The beautiful star showed off her gorgeous dress by giving the paps a twirl and posing with one hand on her hip while the other held on to her cute gold and black matching clutch bag.

Jennifer, who was joined at the premiere by her co-stars Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson in dapper suits, appears in the new film as the main character Katniss Everdeen, a part that she admits was not an easy one to accept straight away because of the cons of being a part of a major movie franchise.

She told French magazine Madame Figaro: “I realised that whatever I do, at any level, I would lose a part of my private life. For each ‘everyday’ photo published, I generally spend three hours playing cat and mouse with photographers.”
