Proving once again why she’s America’s Sweetheart, world-famous actress Jennifer Lawrence played the role of a good friend and helped a gal pal pick out a wedding dress yesterday afternoon.

Jennifer might have had to try on frothy, frilly, and feminine dresses penciled into her schedule that day, but she certainly wasn’t dressed for the activity.

She was dressed quite the opposite of frothy, frilly, and feminine in her grungy black-and-gray outfit consisting of a knotted t-shirt, a slit maxi skirt, and a drape front jacket. Hipster/boho accessories — a fedora, wayfarers, a fringe bag, and oxfords — completed her look.

We love Jennifer Lawrence’s carefree vibe here, but that jacket is styled too sloppily for our liking. A more fitted and shorter-hemlined skirt would’ve drastically improved her outfit, and so would untying the knot of her t-shirt.

Do you like Jennifer Lawrence’s black-and-gray outfit, or do you find it too heavy for an afternoon of trying wedding dresses on?

Jennifer Lawrence’s jacket is a favorite among celebrities and fashion bloggers alike, so we were able to immediately ID it as the following Helmut Lang “Sugar” jacket:
