Actress Jennifer Lawrence forgoes her causal outfits and gritty film roles for something a little more glamorous and a lot more avant-garde during the W Magazine October 2012 cover shoot. Although she is starting to make [bold statements on the red carpet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign), the outfits showcased throughout are much more theatrical. As though inspired by her feathery friends, Lawrence is draped in [dramatic plumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots) that are gorgeously romantic.

The W Magazine October 2012 cover shoot was shot by photographer Tim Walker. Styled by Jacob K, the outfits strangely enough complement the stark spaces they are captured in. The editorial comes just in time to promote Lawrence's [latest film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-collection) coming out this month, 'House at the End of the Street."
