Rachel Zegler has been one of the most talked about celebrities nowadays because of her prominent role in “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.” In addition, she is set to appear in The Snow White live-action, which has already sparked controversy. This time, Zegler became a trending topic because she paid homage to Jennifer Lawrence’s iconic character in “The Hunger Games.”
On November 5, the American actress attended the Berlin premiere of “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.” She caught everyone’s attention because of the dazzling gown she was wearing at the premiere, a clear reference to Katniss Everdeen. Zegler wore a sleeveless black Alexander McQueen gown featuring a fiery red mermaid tail.
The fans quickly noticed the dress resembles an iconic moment from the book and film series where Katniss’ dress burst into flames, leading to her widely popular nickname, “The Girl on Fire.”
This new movie takes place 64 years before the previous films starred Jennifer Lawrence. Rachel Zegler is set to play Lucy Gray Baird, who is selected as tribute from District 12 and assigned a young Coriolanus Snow as her mentor. The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ director tells Lucy is an anti-katniss, and they are completely different human beings.
Undoubtedly, Rachel Zegler’s homage to Jennifer Lawrence is one of a kind, and the fans of the franchise cannot wait until they can get into the cinema to watch this amazing movie. The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is in theaters on November 17. In case you haven’t watched the trailer, this is the perfect moment to do it.
