Charlotte Lawrence on Family, Music, and Her Fall Style Essentials
The actor-musician, daughter of TV writer Bill Lawrence and actress Christa Miller, shares her favorite designer pieces and comfort items.
Cool runs in the family for actor-musician Charlotte Lawrence. Her father, Bill Lawrence, is known for writing and producing shows like "Ted Lasso," "Scrubs," and "Shrinking." Her mother, Christa Miller, stars in "Shrinking" and serves as music supervisor for all three series. This background has influenced the younger Lawrence's own proclivity for creative mediums.
Lawrence is set to return for the second season of Apple TV+'s crime comedy "Bad Monkey" in December, starring opposite Vince Vaughn. She described her character Caitlin's journey in the upcoming season as "bigger, messier and a lot more emotional."
Currently, the 26-year-old indie-pop artist is focused on her music career. After touring with Sombr in the spring, Lawrence is promoting her album "Somewhere" on the road with Suki Waterhouse, with a scheduled performance at Radio City Music Hall on September 24.
Her stage wardrobe draws inspiration from the "louche glamour" of icons such as Anita Pallenberg, Jane Birkin, the Rolling Stones, and Kate Moss. Offstage, however, Lawrence prioritizes comfort. "If I can get away with wearing pajamas in the daytime, that’s usually what I do," she stated.
Lawrence shared several of her essential style items:
Favorite Carryall
Lawrence favors the YSL "Le 5 à 7 Bea Tote," describing it as "timeless, elegant, sexy and practical."
Favorite Boots
She relies on the "Sylvia Boot" for her performances, noting, "They are the most comfortable boots I own."
Favorite Sunnies
Prada's "Symbole Sunglasses" are a staple, with Lawrence mentioning, "These go with absolutely everything. I’m on my second pair right now because they were so beloved that my band fought over who got to wear them every night onstage and they got a little scratched up."
Favorite Outerwear
The "Solana Coat" by The Row is her preferred outerwear: "This coat is my favorite style: long with a tie in the middle. It’s a splurge item that’s well worth it, forever."
Favorite Hues
For makeup, Lawrence uses the "Connect in Colour Eye Shadow Palette in Encrypted Kryptonite" from MAC, calling it "My go-to palette. It’s perfect for any occasion."
Favorite Scents
She opts for "The Full Collection Perfume Oil Layering Set," noting, "They are the best-smelling oils in the world. They’re long-lasting and can layer with anything (including each other) and smell amazing."
Favorite Comfort
A vintage Rolling Stones "Urban Jungle Tour 1990" t-shirt is a cherished item, with Lawrence stating, "Vintage rock tees forever! The rarer they are, the more I want them."
Favorite Spirit
Lawrence enjoys "Rebbiano d’Abruzzo Valentini 2021" wine, saying, "I’ve been loving this very, very nice Italian wine ever since my trip to Italy this summer."
Favorite Denim
She is a fan of "The Gray Jeans" from FRAME, calling them "fitted to perfection. There’s nothing better. I’m wearing them right now — and I could even sleep in them."
Favorite Lip
For lipstick, she prefers "YSL Beauty Rouge Pur Couture Caring Satin Lipstick" in "Rouge Paradoxe," describing it as "the best red. French and chic!"
Favorite Sleep
Lawrence uses the "Eyelash-Protecting Mask," calling it "The coziest. I wear it to sleep every night."
Favorite Summer Scent
Her favorite candle is "Pines by the Sea" by We Took to the Woods, which she says "smells like summer and Christmas at the same time — and I’m addicted to it."
Favorite Sounds
Lawrence considers Sufjan Stevens' ""Carrie & Lowell (10th Anniversary Edition)"" double LP to be "breathtaking. One of my favorite albums ever."
