Jennifer Lawrence put her toned core and New York City summer style on full display yesterday, pairing a black crop top with high-waisted jeans and a parasol for sun protection. The actress wore her blonde hair up in a ponytail and accessorized with a water bottle and black bag.
Lawrence’s excursion comes only four months after she welcomed her first child with husband Cooke Maroney. The photos of Lawrence out on the town also appear to have been taken before she had dinner with her longtime close friend Emma Stone that night at Hwa Yuan restaurant.
The restaurant shared a photo of the two actresses on its Instagram and wrote, “Hwa Yuan was thrilled to host Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence for dinner! Chef Tang and the Tang family are big fans of theirs and are honored to be fans of our restaurant and food. Emma and Jennifer, we hope you enjoyed it and will be back soon!”
Lawrence hasn’t shared any details about her little one, completely on purpose. The actor told Vanity Fair in November that she intends to keep her child’s life private. “If I was at a dinner party and someone said, ‘Oh, my God, you’re expecting a baby,’ I wouldn’t be like, ‘God, I can’t talk about that. Get away from me, you psycho!'” she began. “But every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives as much as I can. I don’t want anyone to feel welcome in their existence. And I feel like it just starts with not including them in this part of my work.”
