The image is very strong, using dark colours to show power and sexuality through her makeup.

Lawrences posture upon her hand exposes her feminine delicacy of sensitivity and passion, however can also unveil that she can support and protect herself and stand her ground, not changing herself because of someones opinion but following what she thinks is best and being the person she is wen she is happiest.
The cold cool wash of blue in the background has this sense of power but also has a calming affect linking to the human traits of emotion but also to uncover the 'art of fashion' portraying that only Harpers Bazaar viewers have the eyes for art that other people can't see. The cool wash reveals Jennifer Lawrence as a stylish, powerful leading lady.
