This is what we call pulling a red carpet 180.

Jennifer Lawrence started her day at the 85th Annual Academy Awards Nominations Luncheon in a white, strapless Chloe dress that had a serious—dare we say—junior prom vibe. The length cuts off her long legs and the bunchy bodice does nothing good for her figure. Not to mention that tan! Frankly, we were concerned.

That is, until the Hunger Games heroine showed up that very same night in this gold Valentino stunner for The Hollywood Reporter's Nominees Night bash. The length on this embroidered V-neck dress works perfectly (could be those massive heels), and we much prefer this nude coloring to the stark white of the other gown.

What a difference six hours makes!
