As the highly anticipated prequel of The Hunger Games, Sunrise on the Reaping, nears, McKenna Grace wowed fans with a glamorous tribute to Jennifer Lawrence's iconic character.
While attending the opening of the costume exhibition "Elegance is Authority: The Story, Style, and Power of Panem" in Paris on Tuesday, October 6, Grace radiated charm in the elegant white sculptural gown that Katniss Everdeen wore for her wedding in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013).
Katniss Everdeen's wedding dress in 'Catching Fire'
In the film, Lawrence's character wore the layered ruffle dress for an interview with Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci) mandated by President Snow.
The highlight of the interview was the fabric of the dress burning down and revealing a dark Mockingjay dress as she spun, which was considered an act of rebellion.
Created by Indonesian designer Tex Saverio, the dress features an intricate metal bodice and full ruffly skirt.
Showing off her look for the exhibition, the actress turned to her TikTok account, penning, "If you let them treat you like an animal they will, so don't let them," one of her character's lines from the upcoming film.
Grace attended with her co-star Joseph Zada, who wore a Tiffany brooch and a suit from ERL.
The event kicked off the promotions for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, which arrives in theatres on November 20.
