Fans hail J-Law's take on 'sexist' dress critics

London: Fans are hailing Jennifer Lawrence over her Facebook post where she is hitting back at her dress-shamers. The controversy took roots when a photo surfaced online where the 27-year-old actress was seen posing alongside her male colleagues at a London rooftop, for her upcoming film 'Red Sparrow'. A fan wrote, "Fantastic response to the outrage brigade! As women we don't need to be told how to dress and to button up lest we get a chill. Again it's patronising & assumes you don't know yr own mind. You absolutely rocked that dress".

The Academy Award winner had taken to Facebook and written that she was "extremely offended" over the whole debacle and described her Versace dress as "gorgeous". She explained her choice of clothing and said: "I would have stood in the snow for that dress because I love fashion and that was my choice". She concluded the statement with "Get a grip people. Everything you see me wear is my choice". The dress flaked a controversy when people started questioning her dress and the 'equality for women'. Many took to social media and posted their concerns over the actress' health after being freezed and questioned Lawrence's decision to shun out weather appropriate clothing. In the picture, Lawrence's male counterparts are attired to bear the London weather while the lady looked stunning in a low-neck, black Versace dress.
