The gorgeous, talented and often-unfiltered Jennifer Lawrence — who made news earlier this week for chopping her long locks into a chic pixie — graces InStyle‘s December cover, hitting newsstands next Friday, November 15. Dressed in the likes of Valentino, Céline, and Alexander McQueen, the 23-year-old talent talked to us about her distaste for dieting and working out (“Nothing can motivate me,” she says), her desire to “calm down for a while” after Hunger Games wraps, and, well, her hair, telling us during our interview that it was at “an awkward length” and “awkward color.” Which now has us wondering… While the gorgeous photos inside the issue feature Lawrence pre-chop, her hair is pulled back and styled in such a way that it looks as though she’s sporting a shorter ‘do. Did our shoot inspire her to make the cut? We’ll never know, but we do know that J. Law looks amazing no matter the length of her hair, and is as funny and candid as ever in our December issue.
