Jennifer Lawrence in Schiaparelli at the New York City premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.″
For the New York premiere, Jennifer Lawrence complied with the city’s dress code and ditched the pretty white dresses for a black gown. Her Schiaparelli Couture Fall 2015 gown was sheer on top and showed off a bralette underneath (very trendy with the kids!). The actress’s beauty fit with a dark berry lip and her short blonde hair styled in a bedhead kinda way.
Natalie Dormer in Roland Mouret at the New York City premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.″
Only in NYC could a head-to-toe leather look be considered just as appropriate as a black gown. Natalie Dormer wore just that in a full look from Roland Mouret. The ‘60s-inspired ensemble with a modern twist consisted of a shades of green paneled skirt, matching moto jacket, a sheer black turtleneck, and zip-up boots. She had her hair down in messy curls and an exaggerated smoky eye.
Jena Malone in Ungaro at the New York City premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.″
Jena Malone took fishnets from trashy to classy with her Emanuel Ungaro Spring 2016 ensemble made up of a sheer skirt and bondage-inspired crop top.
Josh Hutcherson in a polka dot shirt at the New York City premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.″
Once again displaying that his style isn’t your run of the mill suits, shirts, and ties in solid colors, Josh Hutcherson wore a polka dot button down in black and white.
Liam Hemsworth in Dolce & Gabbana at the New York City premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.″
While he’s experimented with teal and burgundy suits at other premieres, the youngest of the Hemsworth brothers got the memo from the girls that they were going goth tonight and stuck with classic black.

Stef Dawson in a red dress at the New York City premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.″
Stef Dawson, obviously well aware that exaggerated sleeves are the coolest trend of the season, wore a dress with big bell ones. In a shade of bright red, she proved the fashion myth wrong that redheads can’t wear red! She kept her shoes neutral with skin-toned stilletos.
Julianne Moore in Chanel at the New York City premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.″
Julianne Moore sat front row (or chilled by a craps table) at the Chanel Fall 2015 Couture show when this coat dress came down the casino-themed runway. The emerald color looked wonderful with her red hair.
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Los Angeles, California.
To match her red, white, and blue Paris pin, Jennifer Lawrence wore a white Dior gown. The column dress fit her perfectly, and the top, with gold, scallop, and sheer, was simple and sublime in its details.
Willow Shields in Naeem Khan at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Los Angeles, California.
Willow Shields started filming the Hunger Games franchise at the age of 10. Now, at 15, she seems all grow up wearing a Naeem Khan strapless gown with a voluminous skirt. Since she sort of grew up on set (she is still a teenager!), saying goodbye wasn’t easy. “I think everyone knew this was it, and so there was some sadness to filming these two films,” she told Teen Vogue. “On my last day, Jennifer Lawrence came in my trailer and gave me a sweet gift, and we just hung out for a little while. It was hard because it was my last day on set and my last shot as Prim. It was all very emotional.”
Josh Hutcherson in a burgundy suit at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Los Angeles, California.
Josh Hutcherson has shown some serious style game on the worldwide press tour, and one of the final stops was no exception. For the Hollywood debut, he wore a burgundy suit with a Rorschach-like tie. The baby-faced actor even showed off a little scruff.
Elizabeth Banks in Dolce & Gabbana at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Los Angeles, California.
Leave it to Effie Trinket, err Elizabeth Banks, to light up the red carpet. Just like her on-screen counterpart, the actress tends to make bold fashion choices, and in a Dolce & Gabbana striped sequin gown she certainly stood out.
Woody Harrelson wearing a tie at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Los Angeles, California.
Woody Harrelson has taken a more lax approach to red carpet dressing than his co-stars, but for the Hollywood premiere of his new film, he dressed up a little in a burgundy suit jacket sans tie and a scarf. At least he has shoes on this time.
Natalie Dormer in Vivienne Westwood Couture at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Los Angeles, California.
Wearing a Vivienne Westwood Couture piece means big and bold. Natalie Dormer added beautiful to that in a lilac tulle ballgown covered in gold flowers.
Jena Malone in Gauri and Nainika at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Los Angeles, California.
Jena Malone looked pretty in pink wearing a Gauri and Nainika gown with a slip-like silhouette on steroids. She added a ruby statement necklaces for some drama.
Liam Hemsworth in Dolce & Gabbana at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Los Angeles, California.

Ashlee Simpson Ross in Etro with her husband, Evan Ross, at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Los Angeles, California.
Ashlee Simpson Ross, who recently welcomed a child her new husband, mixed black tie and business in a sheer Etro dress with gold flowers screen-printed on the bottom of the train, while she covered up with an oversized blazer. Evan Ross, who has a small part in the new film, opted for mostly workwear in a pinstrip suit, white T-shirt, geode necklace, and wide-brimmed fedora.
Sam Claflin in Burberry at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Los Angeles, California.
The Brit obviously wore Burberry, representing his home country, in a blue suit and skinny tie.
Amandla Stenberg in a shiny blue dress at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Los Angeles, California.
Amandla Stenberg’s character Rue might’ve been killed off in the first film, but she still showed up to show her support in a metallic blue party dress with tummy cutouts.
Jennifer Lawrence in a baby blue Dior gown at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Hong Kong.
“To paraphrase Candice Bergen in Sex and the City: Dior clothes! Dior makeup! Dior airbrushing! It’s like the prettiest a girl could ever hope to look,” Jennifer Lawrence told Vogue of her contract with the French brand. The actress, nay movie star, was about as beautiful as they come at the Hong Kong premiere of the Hunger Games in a baby blue Dior gown with an open back. Her short hair was secured back and she wore extensions to create a chignon while her lips were painted red for a super sultry look.
Jennifer Lawrence in Ralph Lauren at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Madrid, Spain.
Can you even tell that shortly before striking this fierce pose Jennifer Lawrence took a tumble? A fan captured the fall and posted it to Twitter, marking yet another very public faceplant (or in this case buttplant) for the star. She might have a bruised behind but she still looked amazing in a black Ralph Lauren gown with a tiers of ruffles and lace.
Josh Hutcherson in a camouflage button down shirt at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Madrid, Spain.
Josh Hutcherson showed off his alternative red carpet style by pairing a plain black suit with a digi-print camo button down shirt.
Liam Hemsworth in a plaid suit at the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Madrid, Spain.
Obviously Liam Hemsworth (or Liam Hemsworth’s stylist) is up to date on fashion trends seeing as the Australian actor mix and matched prints like a pro.
Jennifer Lawrence in Mugler at a photocall for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Madrid, Spain.
The actress, who’s mostly worn long gowns throughout her multi-city tour, switched things up in Spain with a mini dress. The Mugler number could also double as a layering piece, as it’s a sleeveless blazer buttoned up.
Josh Hutcherson in a bomber jacket at a photocall for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Madrid, Spain.
Josh Hutcherson gave the bomber jacket, the hottest coat style of the season, a spin in Spain.
Liam Hemsworth wears a gray blazer at a photocall for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ in Madrid, Spain.
The actor paired a black sweater and pants with a gray blazer. Even without color, he still shines bright (like a diamond).
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior at the Paris premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.″
At Paris Fashion Week just a few weeks before, Rihanna, who is also an ambassador for Dior, wore a strikingly similar peasant gown. But to set herself apart from the pop princess, Lawrence went all out with the old-timey theme and even styled her hair in Heidi braids.
Liam Hemsworth in a black tux at the Paris premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.″
Maybe it’s the Parisian air, but Liam Hemsworth’s blue eyes seem to be shining even brighter than usual.
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ photocall in Paris, France.
Jennifer Lawrence looked angelic from the knee up at in a little white Dior dress in Paris, France. On her feet, she wore sexy lace ankle boots, adding some spice to an otherwise simply nice look.
Woody Harrelson pulled an Adam Sandler at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ photo call in Paris, France.
While his female co-star wore a little white dress and black lace ankle boots, Woody Harrelson showed up to the Hunger Games photocall in his pajamas. Just another display of the sexism that exists on the red carpet. At least Liam Hemsworth had on a sports coat (Josh Hutcherson wore a button down with paint splatter).
Jennifer Lawrence in Dolce & Gabbana at the book launch for “Tim Palen: Photographs From The Hunger Games” at Maison Assouline in London, England.
For an intimate book party in celebration of “Tim Palen: Photographs From The Hunger Games,” Jennifer Lawrence still dressed like the belle of the ball in a sheer look from Dolce & Gabbana. As featured in their “Mammas” collection, the number’s both sweet — floral embroidery — and sexy — sheer and cutouts.
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Couture at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
Another night, another Dior. For Jennifer Lawrence, it’s all about Raf Simons, which can sometimes be monotonous, but seeing as the star is reportedly working with new stylists (adios, Rachel Zoe), they’ve rejuvenated the French brand for the funny actress. On Thursday night in rainy London, Lawrence wore a Dior Haute Couture gown from the Fall 2015 collection that showed off major side boob. Very reminiscent of Claire Danes’s Prada dress from the Emmys, it too featured chain link on the side of the trunk, the 25-year-old showed off her skin for the photographers in a black and brown polka dot print look.
Natalie Dormer In Ong Oaj Pairam at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
Natalie Dormer put a twist on the elegant gown by wearing the silhouette in a dark print. The black and white shibori-like fabric gave off the illusion of bones, perfect match for the film’s dark nature.
Josh Hutchinson in a wool suit at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
Obviously a fan of the untraditional suit (and black button-down shirts), Josh Hutcherson wore a navy blue wool suit speckled with royal blue and paired with a blue tie. He also wore a poppy pin, a nod to the United Kingdom.
Liam Hemsworth in a black suit at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
Unlike his co-star Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth’s all about the classics. For the second premiere of the Hunger Games, he kept things sleek with a classic black suit that fit his every rippling muscle to perfection.
Elizabeth Banks in Razan Alazzouni at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
Following her Grecian princess moment in Berlin, Elizabeth Banks wore pants — on the red carpet! Taking a cue from Dior that sent pants under dresses down the runway a few years and back and has been seen on the likes of Kieran Shipka and Emma Watson, the actress/director paired a glam ankle-grazing top with black trousers.
Julianne Moore in Alexander McQueen at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
From black to white, yin to yang! Julianne Moore traded her Jason Wu for an angelic Alexander McQueen, showing off her legs in a knee-length peasant dress with a ruffled neckline.
Gwendoline Christie in Vivienne Westwood at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
Gwendoline Christie is basically in every alternate-universe blockbuster of 2015. Game of Thrones, the rebooted Star Wars, and even Hunger Games, the actress is everywhere on the dystopian scene. At the London premiere of Mockingjay, the fashion fan chose a Vivienne Westwood gown covered in paillettes. With a cinch of the waist and a high leg slit, the silhouette showed off of her long legs.
Sam Claflin in black and white at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
Waiting fans held up homemade posters with “I
Felicity Blunt and Stanley Tucci at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
Stanley Tucci plays the eccentric Caesar Flickman in The Hunger Games, Katy Perry’s brother from another or relative in the distant future, rocking multi-colored hairdos and glitter getups. But on the red carpet Thursday night, he toned things down in a gray suit. His wife, Felicity Blunt, looked stunning in a blacked velvet mixed-media jumpsuit.
Tallia Storm in a naked dress at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
Wearing a Mars Attacks! hairdo and a knockoff Givenchy naked dress, 17-year-old R&B singer Tallia Storm made the most of her red carpet appearance.
Woody Harrelson looked laid-back at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
The rest of the cast might’ve been buttoned up and putting on a fashion show, but Woody Harrelson, who plays Haymitch in the Hunger Games series, was cool as a cucumber. He kept his black button-down shirt untucked, a few buttons undone, and left a tie at the hotel.
Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black at “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in London.
The newly-engaged couple coordinated in head-to-toe black on the red carpet. Daley, an Olympic diver, went wild and wore a polka dot button down shirt while his partner, Milk screenwriter Black, went for a more monotonous look.
Jennifer Lawrence in a berry gown at the “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in Berlin, Germany.
Raf Simons might have departed from Dior, but that hasn’t stopped Jennifer Lawrence, the French brand’s ambassador, from wearing it on the red carpet. The custom Dior Couture dress showed off interesting arm skin with shoulder cutouts and featured a low neckline. Her makeup was done to match and even though she believes she’s “aging like a President,” she appeared young and fresh, just her age (which is 25!). Before the Berlin premiere, she opened up saying that her Hunger Games role motivated her to speak up on the gender pay gap. "I don’t see how I couldn’t be inspired by this character,” she said. “I mean I was so inspired by her when I read the books, it’s the reason I wanted to play her.“
Julianne Moore in Jason Wu at the “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in Berlin, Germany.
Julianne Moore loves a black gown — she wears them over and over again — but at least when she does so, it’s always compensatory for its lack of color in its interesting silhouette. At the Berlin premiere of the Hunger Games, the actress, who wears a gray wig in the film, chose a Jason Wu dress from the Spring 2016 collection featuring a ruffle halter top.
Natalie Dormer in Roland Mouret at the “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in Berlin, Germany.
Natalie Dormer’s always one to take fashion risks and her Roland Mouret look at the Berlin premiere of the final installment of the Hunger Games certainly did not disappoint. The geometric top composed of black and white strips and fall colors burgundy, red, and mustard yellow, featured subtle cutouts around the armpit area (sexy!). As for the black skirt, she opted for the classier and more classic version than the high-slit one that recently traipsed down the fall 2015 runway.
Donald Sutherland wore a velvet tie to the “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in Berlin, Germany.
Hey millennial men, listen up! Donald Sutherland should be your style icon. The actor, who plays President Snow in the film series, wore a tuxedo with silk lapels and showed off some serious accessorizing game by wearing a velvet scarf with a tassel hem and a white rose in his pocket as a nod to his character’s love of the pungent flower.
Willow Shields in Marni at the “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in Berlin, Germany.
From the first film to the last, Willow Shields has grown up on the red carpet. This Marni dress — made of layers of brown tulle with a black slip showing through underneath — showed off her maturation from child actress to young adult.
Liam Hemsworth in Ermengildo Zegna at the “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in Berlin, Germany.
Quick poll: Who’s the hottest Hemsworth — Chris, Liam, or Luke? The answer should obviously be Luke because he’s only famous in Australia and really needs the love. But if you’re not the sympathetic type then Liam’s the clear winner. Just look at that blue suit on him. And that polka due burgundy tie. And his adorable smile. And soul piercing eyes.
Michelle Forbes in Michael Costello at the “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in Berlin, Germany.
Michelle Forbes, who plays Lieutenant Jackson in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, supported Project Runway alum Michael Costello by wearing a long-sleeved gown from the designer in a sliver and white print.
Elizabeth Banks in Elie Saab at the “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in Berlin, Germany.
Elizabeth Banks’s sartorial sense veers towards the dramatic — just like her character Effie Trinket in the Hunger Games — and the actress and director certainly turned it out in one of her favorite brands. For the first red carpet on the final press tour for the series, she opted for an Elie Saab gown covered in florals. The voluminous bottom seemed to get its inspiration from Motherginger in the Nutcracker and she accessorized with a gold Grecian headpiece.
Josh Hutcherson in a gray suit at the “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in Berlin, Germany.
Josh Hutcherson put a twist on traditional men’s suiting by wearing a patterned gray ensemble with a skinny black tie and metal tie bar.
Jena Malone in Reem Acra at the “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2″ premiere in Berlin, Germany.
Possibly inspired by the dystopian film’s theme, Jena Malone chose a gown that looks fresh out of the future. The Reem Acra piece, from the brand’s Spring 2016 collection, showed off her legs through the sheer skirt, completely covered in sequins arranged in a net-like pattern. The top added bursts of color through sequin clusters that look like amoeba cascading down the bodice
Since 2012 when the first Hunger Games came out, the stars of the series have walked countless red carpets around the world. In four years, characters have been killed off (the premise is based on teenagers annually killing each other in an arena for entertainment purposes after all) and new ones have entered — Julianne Moore, Natalie Dormer, and Jena Malone, to name a few, came into the fold later — but each has treated the press tour as seriously as they would a Victory Tour. (Don’t get the reference? See the movies! Or, even better, read the books!)
Together, the cast toured the world promoting their film, making stops in Berlin, Paris, Madrid, and even Shanghai. Jennifer Lawrence wore a lot of Dior (with a few exceptions including a red blazer dress from Mugler in Spain), Josh Hutcherson displayed his man style (which is anything but ordinary, and Liam Hemsworth tried out some colorful suits.
Following stops in Europe and Asia, the cast came stateside. At the film’s Hollywood premiere, just days after a deadly terrorist attack hit France (and three days after the crew debuted their film there), the actors paid tribute to the city by wearing pins with the red, white, and blue flag on their black tie looks. “I’d like to note the horrific events that occurred three days? ago in Paris,” Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer said as he introduced the movie. “We want to express our sympathy to the brave people of Paris. We stand with them tonight.”

For the last stop, the crew hit New York’s Lincoln Center. While none of the actors are natives, they still got the dress code memo: black is always appropriate. Lawrence wore a Schiaprelli gown with a sheer top that showed off a lacy bralette, Dormer donned head-to-toe leather, and Malone made fishnets classy.
The reviews for the film might not be in yet, but in terms of fashion, the cast has certainly showed it’s going out on top.
