Fans of The Hunger Games will know 22-year-old Jennifer Lawrence as the kick-ass Katniss Everdeen, the heroine of author Suzanne Collins’s trilogy and star of the 2012 box-office hit. While the role propelled the actress straight on to Hollywood’s A-list, it was her earlier performance in 2010’s Winter’s Bone that landed her Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for best actress.

Now, after her heartfelt, captivating role as young widow Tiffany Maxwell in Silver Linings Playbook, Lawrence’s star has been catapulted even further. With a Golden Globe and Screen Actor’s Guild award for best actress already under her belt this year, she’s in line to make it a hat-trick at the Oscars on February 24.

What’s not to love about this beautiful, talented actress, who looked stunning in Christian Dior as she accepted her SAG award while battling pneumonia!
