When dressing for New York City’s chill, a few women set the standard for staying chic and warm: Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lawrence. Lawrence, in particular, is championing the turtleneck comeback—a timeless winter staple that isn’t always easy to wear. According to her, you don’t have to choose between style and comfort.

On January 9, Lawrence attended her first major event of the year—a conversation at 92NY on the Upper East Side to promote her film Die My Love. She wore a full Khaite ensemble: a black turtleneck, high-rise crepe cropped trousers, a black wool wrap coat, pointed ponyhair pumps, and a black leather clutch with gold clasp details. Her jewelry included gold and pearl earrings by Jessica McCormack—a favorite of Zoe Kravitz and Zendaya—and a chunky gold and emerald ring from Yi Collection that she frequently wears.

Lawrence and her stylist, Ryan Hastings, chose a top that aligns with the current trend of winter silhouettes and chin-grazing necklines. While the influence of Phoebe Philo-era Celine’s funnel necks endures, labels like Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney, Chloé, and Gabriela Hearst have been crafting soft, high-necked pieces—from knitwear to trenches and leathers—since fall 2025. Lawrence’s sleeveless Khaite turtleneck featured a sculptural, draped neckline, with fabric flowing smoothly into the trousers for a sleek shape—perfectly in keeping with her understated yet elegant promotional style.

In the first days of 2026, Lawrence has been cycling through her cold-weather wardrobe while experimenting with trends. Earlier in the week, she embraced the “pop of purple” with a bold La Ligne scarf and gave the summer scarf-skirt trend a winter-appropriate update. On more casual days, she’s relied on her trusty Ugg boots.

Dressing for cold weather doesn’t have to be merely practical—it can be fun, too. Turtlenecks can be challenging, often appearing severe or overly restrained. But Lawrence shows how to wear them just right: a monochromatic palette, delicate jewelry, and simple hair keep the look cool and effortless. In Jennifer Lawrence we trust.
