Jennifer Lawrence spills beans for wearing Flip-Flops on the Red Carpet at Cannes

Jennifer Lawrence spilled beans for wearing Flip-Flops on the Red Carpet at Cannes!

The “No Hard Feelings” star clarified that she was not trying to make a political statement last month at the Cannes Film Festival.

As the Oscar winner walked the film festival’s red carpet last month in a red Dior gown and a pair of casual black flip-flops, her appearance unintentionally sparked a frenzy from observers who wondered if she was making a statement of some kind.

“I would really like to straighten this out. I was not making a political statement,” the actress told Entertainment Tonight in an interview that was published Thursday.

“I had no idea until it came out that there was a whole controversy with people wearing flats or walking down the red carpet barefoot, I had no clue. My shoes were a size too big.”

“And I wore heels going up, but then I forgot to take a picture with my production team, Excellent Cadaver,” explained Lawrence.

” So, we had to take an Excellent Cadaver picture, and I knew I would eat sh-t if I went down in the shoes that were a size too big. I put on the flip-flops, and then everybody’s like, ‘What a statement! Wow!'”

“I’m all for making a statement,” she clarified. “I just would want it to be on purpose.”

Lawrence was referring to the long and messy history of women’s footwear at Cannes.

In 2015, women attending the premiere of Carol were denied entry because of their flat shoes, which sparked online outrage and a closer look at the festival’s notoriously strict dress code that includes a high-heel requirement.

Her new film “No Hard Feelings” which she had been promoting is set to hit the theaters June 23.
