From high-low off-duty looks with sale Nike sneakers to old Hollywood red carpet glamour, Jennifer Lawrence is an undisputed style icon, and now she’s bringing that flair to the playground by tapping into summer’s relaxed boxer shorts trend.
The actress was spotted with her son, Cy Maroney, on Wednesday, June 19, wearing an outfit that downtown It girls, moms, and women who are both will be copying all summer long. The best part? All it takes to make it happen is three easy summer essentials.
Another photo from the day shows Lawrence carrying a small black shoulder bag — obviously too small to hold a diaper, but chic nonetheless.

Lawrence sprinted onto the concrete in a pale pink pair of boxer and athletic shorts, a loose-fitting plain white T-shirt, and slouchy white socks and sneakers. She also accessorized with square tortoiseshell sunglasses from the brand Love Lou, layered gold necklaces including a chunky chain from Tiffany & Co.’s Pharrell Williams collection, and a khaki baseball cap that, upon closer inspection, was a vintage Scarlett Johansson item from the 2005 horror movie. Skeleton KeyAnd that completed the look. Quirky! In other photos from the day, Lawrence is carrying a small black leather shoulder bag, obviously too small to hold diapers and bottles, but chic nonetheless.

If you want to copy the trend of rich moms, a pair of loose blush pink boxers is the most carefree option. Oversized shirt and matching shorts sets have been sold everywhere this summer, from Frankie Shop to Aritzia to Net-a-Porter’s luxury hangers. It’s one of many variations on the innerwear-as-outerwear trend, and Miu Miu’s recent Spring 2024 runway was one of its biggest advocates. But unlike the parallel underwear-as-pants moments favored by Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Dua Lipa, this take offers a bit more coverage. (Perfect for looking great while chasing your toddler around the park, like Lawrence does.)

Meanwhile, Lawrence has been showcasing her summer wardrobe over the past month, incorporating shoe trends and pop culture references. Earlier this week, she gave the Mary Jane trend an edge with punk-inspired cross-strap Alaïa flats. She recently teamed up with Zendaya’s “I Told Ya” T-shirt. The Challengers Wear it tucked into black pleated slacks.
Lawrence also favored the denim-on-denim trend, but added her own twist to it with loose, oversized silhouettes and mesh flats. And who can’t forget reviving the leopard print trend while sitting front row at Dior’s Cruise 2025 fashion show in Scotland earlier this month.
The most summer-ready part of her latest outfit is her comfortable boxer shorts and white t-shirt, both of which you can shop below.
