Jennifer Lawrence appears to be vying for an editor role, because she's already channeled two Marie Claire trend reports so far this month. First, she gave the scarf-belt hybrid a go on July 18. Then, three days later, the actor pulled off the cord necklace trend that fashion editor, Lauren Tappan called "an undeniable It-girl staple throughout the '90s."
On July 21, Lawrence popped by Greenwich House Theater in New York City for opening night of Josh Sharp's Ta-Da! The Hunger Games alum sported a sleeveless sheath dress from The Row. Its khaki colorway served as a blank canvas to spotlight her outstanding choice of jewelry.
Lawrence swapped the traditional chainlinks and charms for an eye-catching cord necklace. It featured an oversize circular pendant, which dangled from a thick suede string. Two oval-shaped stones were stacked atop the main onyx medallion, presumably to emphasize the necklace's geometric feel.
Lawrence's off-Broadway 'fit featured several other stand-outs from the accessory department. She slipped on what appear to be The Row's $890 City sandals. The leather thongs are available in brown and black, but Lawrence opted for the latter to match her black stone necklace, as well as her $695 fits-everything Liffner tote.
Lawrence has been pro-cord necklace long before it was a normalized trend. She first tried the look in Oct. 2024, trading her neutral dress for a white T-shirt, pinstripe button-down, and the noir necklace that kickstarted her fixation.
That month, the Oscar-winner reached for cord necklaces on five different occasions, later adding a rare Tiffany & Co. version to the mix. Now, in summer 2025, they're back in her regular rotation (inspired by Marie Claire, perhaps?).
And just like that, cord necklaces officially became a summer staple.
