Jennifer Lawrence looks super summer-y in white as she visit a pal on Sunday afternoon (June 21) in Malibu, Calif.
The 24-year-old actress was recently praised by the director of her first feature film, 2008′s The Poker House.
“When we were doing A League of Their Own, [Robert] De Niro, who was good friends with Penny [Marshall, the director] was doing This Boy’s Life,’” Lori Petty told MTV. “And he goes, ‘You got to see this kid.’ So we go over to the editing room, and it was Leonardo [DiCaprio], and I was like, ‘That motherf-cker. That – Oh my god.’ So I felt like that when I saw Jennifer‘s tape. I just knew she was a movie star.”
Lori continued, “I’m so happy for her and her success.”
