Leave it to Jennifer Lawrence to upstage everyone – even Sarah Jessica Parker in a faux-hawk!
When the 22-year-old Oscar winner crossed paths with the former Sex and the City star at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, not even Parker's Philip Treacy fascinator could compete.
With Lawrence wearing the Voilette by Jennifer Behr paired with a Dior dress, and Parker, 48, wearing legendary milliner Treacy's creation, there seemed to be an accessory face-off when the two crossed paths.

Sarah Jessica Parker & More Power Lunch in N.Y.C.
Originally posted 11/14/2012 06:00AM
The phrase "ladies who lunch" got turbocharged on Monday when Cosmopolitan's editor-in-chief Joanna Coles assembled a posse of powerful women – including Sarah Jessica Parker, Rose McGowan, Diane von Furstenberg, Jennifer Westfeldt and Gayle King – for a mid-day meal at Michael's in New York.
Dressed in a leather jacket and pleated skirt, Parker was taken aback by the buzz in the room, which also included several newly elected Congresswomen.
"There are a few women [here] that I've known for a number of years and I'm a great admirer of," she told PEOPLE. "If they're powerful, that's just a byproduct. But I don't think of them that way. I just think of them as great women that I'm fortunate to know."
Westfeldt – who wrote and directed 2011's Friends with Kids – confessed that she power lunches "almost never."
"I'm a meal skipper, bagel on-the-run person," she said.
But as any power luncher knows, food is hardly the point.
As King put it, "I walk around this room and I feel good about being a girl."
With Sarah Jessica Parker... One of the nicest people in NYC. Love Diane instagr.am/p/R75U9tA9bx/

Sarah Jessica Parker and True Blood's Alfre Woodard stepped out in Cincinnati on Saturday to campaign for President Barack Obama – but Parker managed to squeeze in a little shopping, too.
The actresses – who were encouraging women to vote in the upcoming election – stopped into Sloane Boutique in Over-the-Rhine, Ohio.
"Sarah was so nice and so pleasant to be around," the boutique's owner tells PEOPLE. "Very humble and very down-to-earth."
The I Don't Know How She Does It actress tried on Veda leather jackets and bought some bracelets for her twin daughters, Loretta and Tabitha.
"She told me she couldn't wait to come back and shop again," the boutique owner added.
