Jennifer Lawrence turned heads as she accepted the Donostia Lifetime Achievement Award at San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain on Friday.

The Hunger Games star, 35, ensured all eyes were on her in a quirky cut out gown which showed off her trim waist and toned legs.

Boasting dramatic shoulder pads and cinched with a leather belt she accessorised the look with boot and statement earrings.

The event also hosted the premiere of Jennifer's latest film, Die My Love, so the star had more than one reason to celebrate - with her role in the comedy-thriller as a mother battling psychosis already tipped for Oscars success.

The actress was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement award in recognition of her prestigious film career.

Taking to the stage a visibly emotional Jennifer said: 'Thank you to the San Sebastian Film Festival for thinking of me for this incredible honour.'

Jennifer spoke out in support of Palestine two years after the October 7 attacks, and said what is happening in Gaza 'is no less than a genocide'

Her comments were slammed after she previously praised her friend, actress and comedian Amy Schumer, for choosing to speak up in support of Israel amid the conflict - pictured together 2021

Lawrence continued: 'I'm so happy to be here - not just for the food, which is reason enough to visit - but because there's something really special about being at a festival like this where people genuinely love cinema and storytelling and the art and soul of movies.'

It comes after the actress sparked uproar from fans as she publicly revealed her political stance amid the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian war this week.

She spoke out in support of Palestine two years after the October 7 attacks, and said what is happening in Gaza 'is no less than a genocide'.

Appearing at a Festival press conference on Friday to promote new movie, Die My Love, Lawrence said of Palestine: 'I'm terrified and it's mortifying.
'What's happening is no less than a genocide and it's unacceptable, I'm terrified for my children, for all of our children.'

Lawrence also lashed out about the 'disrespect and discourse' in American politics, adding: 'I mean, the kids who are voting right now at 18, it's going to be totally normal to them that politics has no integrity.

'Politicians lie, there is no empathy. And everybody needs to remember that when you ignore what's happening on one side of the world, it won't be long until it's on your side as well.

'I wish that there was something I could say, something that I could do to fix this extremely complex and disgraceful situation. It breaks my heart.'

Lawrence, who publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 US presidential election, said she feared 'speaking out too much' or 'answering too many of these questions' that 'my words will just be used to add more fire and rhetoric to something that is in the hands of our elected officials.

'I just want people to stay focused on who is responsible and the things that they can do and when they need to show up and vote, and not let the actors and artists who are trying to express freedom of art, freedom of speech take the heat for individuals that are actually responsible.'

The chic outfit was the actress's second of the day and at an earlier photo call she wore a short-sleeve black top and matching oversized trousers

Lawrence's comments were slammed by fans online after she previously praised her friend, actress and comedian Amy Schumer, for choosing to speak up in support of Israel amid the conflict.

Schumer was forced to disable her Instagram comments in November 2023 after posting in support of Israel following Hamas's deadly attack on October 7, after which Israel retaliated with airstrikes on Gaza, prompting protestors to call for a cease-fire.

Her posts received a slew of harsh comments critiquing her views, her looks, and weight.

After sharing a number of videos that explained what a ceasefire would mean for Israel, she turned off comments on the posts.

She later shared a note reading: 'Couple things. What I want is EVERY HOSTAGE BACK I want safety and freedom from Hamas for Palestinians and Israelis. I want safety for Jewish people and Muslims as well. Everyone. Just like you. I want peace.'

'You will never see me wishing harm on anyone. Saying I'm Islamophobic or that I like genocide is crazy. So here you go by popular demand. Comments on.'
