Yahoo LifestyleJennifer Lawrence smoulders on the cover of the Vogue September issue
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire star looks incredible as she’s shot by acclaimed photographer Mario Testino for the new edition
Jennifer Lawrence can finally add US Vogue cover girl to her resume alongside Oscar-winning actress.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire actress looks mesmerising as she covers the prestigious September issue for the first time.
The 22-year-old star is picture-perfect in a figure-hugging Dolce & Gabbana tweed frock with belted waist detail and wool sleeves.
J-Law’s tousled bob is styled loosely around her shoulders and her eyes are lined with dark kohl.
Her skin looks flawless as she poses amongst a selection of pretty flowers for acclaimed photographer, Mario Testino.
In another shot, the Kentucky-born native is seen grinning from ear to ear as she cradles two dogs on a park bench – dressed impeccably in a Prada wool coatdress, of course.
In an interview to accompany the cover shoot, the actress – who won an Oscar earlier this year for her portrayal as Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook – reveals she always knew she was going to be famous.
“I’ve never said this before because there is no way to say it without it being completely misunderstood, but ever since I was really little, I always had a very normal idea of what I wanted,” she told Jonathan Van Meter of American Vogue.

“I was going to be a mom and I was going to be a doctor and I was going to live in Kentucky. But I always knew that I was going to be famous.”
It seems the star – whose film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is released later this year – wasn’t certain of how she would find fame, but she knew that she would.
“I used to lie in bed and wonder, Am I going to be a local TV person? Am I going to a motivational speaker? It wasn’t a vision. But as it’s kind of happening, you have this buried understanding. Of course.”
