There's a conspiracy floating around the Marie Claire offices right now: Did Jennifer Lawrence read fashion features editor Emma Childs's trend report on scarf belts? It seems so, because 36 hours after Childs called the hybrid "a simple, high-impact styling tip," the It girl tied one around her waist for the first time. (It's the Emma Childs effect, I'm telling you.)
On July 18, Lawrence walked arm-in-arm with her husband, Cooke Maroney, on another stroll through New York City. While scanning her off-duty outfit from top-to-bottom (as I do with any J.Law look), I was both shocked and delighted to see a Kylie Jenner-esque scarf below her bright red T-shirt. Childs, however, had an inkling this was coming. "I'm not surprised she's on board with scarf belts, considering she loves any vaguely unhinged trend," she told me on Slack.
