Can we have a moment for Jennifer Lawrence’s semi-sheer white cargo pants?
The Oscar winner was photographed in another one of her patented white-out ’fits on August 12 in New York City. The pants are loose fitting and partially see-through at the top, with a tie waist and angular patchwork details throughout. She paired them with a plain white tank top and strappy brown flat sandals, letting her aquamarine beaded necklace and red suede bag provide the outfit’s color.

To finish the ensemble, Lawrence wore her hair in beachy waves and added a pair of oversized black sunglasses.
But back to the pants. Despite their understated appearance, the cargo pants are even more notable than you might think. It turns out they are vintage, from the Balenciaga spring-summer 2002 collection, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière. This seems to be a Balenciaga era that Lawrence particularly appreciates, as a matter of fact. In January she wore a vintage white Balenciaga jacket from the 2006 fall-winter collection, also designed by Ghesquière.
We already know that Lawrence loves herself an all-white outfit in the summer, especially if it’s going to start a trend. Just recently she stepped out in a cream-on-cream satin set, including a blouse with noteworthy frog closures and a pair of highly impractical mesh flats from The Row (always The Row). And we definitely know that she’s the stealth-wealth trend’s most devoted practitioner. “I normally lean toward a more understated elegance and quiet luxury,” she told Elle in 2022. “You know in Eyes Wide Shut, when Nicole Kidman has her hair up and glasses on and then she just takes her hair down and her glasses off? It’s that effortless beauty where you don’t need to do too much.”
