Jennifer Lawrence has debuted a striking new look, sporting a deep brunette hair color while out for dinner in New York City on Thursday. The 35-year-old actress, known for her naturally blonde hair, was seen with her locks styled in an updo with bangs, a practical choice given the warm, humid weather in the city.
Lawrence, who has previously transformed her hair color for various roles, has gone dark for characters such as Tiffany Maxwell in "Silver Linings Playbook" and Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" franchise. The reason for her current brunette phase—whether for a specific role or personal preference—remains undisclosed.
She was casually dressed in a blue print T-shirt, a white maxi skirt, and sandals. Lawrence, a mother of two, recently welcomed her second child in early 2025 and has spoken about balancing her career with motherhood, describing herself as a "stay-at-home mom" who is "obviously working."
In addition to her recent appearance, Lawrence's upcoming projects include the psychological thriller "Die My Love" opposite Robert Pattinson and the Martin Scorsese-directed horror film "What Happens at Night." She is also set to return to "The Hunger Games" franchise in "Sunrise on the Reaping," expected to feature her and Josh Hutcherson in a flash-forward sequence. Furthermore, she is slated to star in and co-produce the Apple romantic comedy "One Month Mark."
Lawrence has previously used dark hair for significant roles, including her Oscar-winning performance as Tiffany Maxwell in "Silver Linings Playbook" (2012) and her portrayal of Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" and its sequels.
Despite her busy schedule, Lawrence, who shares two sons with husband Cooke Maroney, has expressed a preference for a more domestic life, stating on the "SmartLess" podcast in January that she identifies as a stay-at-home mom even while actively working.
