Jennifer Lawrence Goes Vegas Showgirl For 'Interview Germany'


In case you've been hibernating or took a concise sojourn to a far-away planet, The Hunger Games opened this weekend to worldwide pandemonium. (PANEM-onium? Heh.) It attractive much dominated all discussion over the course of three days (as well as social media feeds, #srsly), and, as predicted, Jennifer Lawrence has been catapulted to mega-stardom for her sweltering depiction of guide character Katniss Everdeen. Not only did she make the rounds of almost each talk show last week (even telling David Letterman that she was "a troll"), the fash-media tracked her every style move containing that to-die gold Prabal Gurung dress she wore to the opening. Well, now there's even more frenzy-making J-Law action to discuss concerning her Vegas showgirl leotard instant on the cover of Interview Germany.

Wearing a decorated bodysuit by Dolce & Gabbana, Miss Lawrence vamps it up with windblown hair, unbiased lips, and a black star beneath one of her powerfully misty eyes. But WHOA this bodysuit (leotard? acrobatic costume?) is very showgirl to us, and not in a bad way because it's quite self-effacingly cut in a 1950's swimsuit kind of way. Though it pushes her bazoombage up to near edit levels, it's stimulating to see a gal look so strong on a mag cover. And even though we can't read the real interview which was taken by Drew Barrymore, we're frantic to know more about what the two discussed. According to good ol' Google translate; it involves Bridget Jones, Hulk Hogan, and a "pool full of pasta." Does anyone speak German.
