A photo of the actress in a low-cut dress with her male colleagues was criticized.
Temperatures during this time of year in London do not exceed 8-10 degrees. These were the extreme weather conditions that Jennifer Lawrence had to face at the presentation of her latest film, Red Sparrow.
The Oscar winner wore a sensual Versace dress, with a wide neckline and generous opening in the leg, while her co-stars - Francis Lawrence, Matthias Schoenaerts, Joel Edgerton, and Jeremy Irons - came in clothes appropriate to the weather.
While the male cast of the film protected themselves from the cold, the female protagonist had to take off the coat with which she arrived at the press conference and expose her body.
On Twitter, some users pointed out the nature of the image and did not hesitate to denounce the pressure to which women are subjected in public events.
The commotion reached the ears of the Hollywood star, who said that the controversy was "ridiculous" and that she felt "extremely offended" by all the comments.
In a post on Facebook, the actress said the Versace dress was "fabulous" and ignored the debate the image sparked over scrutiny of actresses' physiques.
Overreacting to something someone says or does, creating controversies over silly and innocuous things like what I choose to wear is not moving forward," she said.
"I was outside for 5 minutes. I would have stood in the snow for that dress because I love fashion and that was my choice," explained the interpreter. "Whatever you see me wear is my choice. And if I want to be cold, that's my choice too."
