Jennifer Lawrence and Kim Kardashian’s NYC Night Out Reveals Their 11-Year Bond

Jennifer Lawrence and Kim Kardashian were photographed together in New York City last night.

They started the evening in regular attire.

They ended it in matching Skims pajamas and robes as they left the Four Seasons hotel.

At first glance, the pairing might seem unexpected.

But Lawrence's history with the Kardashian-Jenner family goes back more than a decade.

In 2023, Lawrence told Kylie Jenner while interviewing her for Interview magazine that she started watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians when she was a teenager.

"I've been watching the show since I was, not to date myself, 14, so I would say I know everything about your family," Lawrence said.

Her first big public moment with the family came in 2015.

Kris Jenner posted a photo of Lawrence in bed with her along with a birthday message.

In November 2017, Lawrence interviewed Kardashian on Jimmy Kimmel Live! while serving as a guest host for Jimmy Kimmel.

Kardashian revealed where they first met.

"We were at a hotel in New York, and I don't know where we were coming from, but it was like, 8, and we were going up to see this Axel Vervoordt suite at the Greenwich [Hotel] and I'm getting in the elevator with Kanye [West] and the doors are about to close and I hear Jennifer screaming, 'I love your show!' so loud across the whole lobby," Kardashian recalled.

They also discussed Lawrence having dinner at Kris Jenner's house two weeks before their interview.

Kardashian dressed her up for that dinner.

It marked their first significant public conversation.

Less than a year later, Lawrence quipped during a February 2018 event at The Wing that her friendship with Kardashian doesn't go both ways.

"I don't know that she'd call me her friend," Lawrence said.

"It's probably a one-sided friendship."

She recalled learning she'd interview Kardashian on Kimmel's show.

"When I found out that I was going to be interviewing her, I was like, 'Oh my God, my whole life has been building up to this moment,'" Lawrence said.

"I wanted to get as much information as I could."

"I wanted to do my due diligence on Kim Kardashian."

"I went over to Kris [Jenner's] house and had dinner with the whole family."

The 2018 comment became a running joke between them.

Last night's outing shows the friendship is very much two-sided now.

Kardashian is currently in New York for a press tour promoting the second season of All's Fair, the legal drama she stars in.

She appeared on Good Morning America earlier that same day wearing a vintage Paco Rabanne party dress from the Spring/Summer 1989 couture collection.

The peach gown, styled by Law Roach, featured hundreds of metal discs stitched into a one-shoulder silhouette with a side cutout.

It was backless.

From the waist, a long silk-crepe skirt floated to the ankle.

The piece was sourced by Maison Vintage Virtuoso, a Paris-based archival studio focused on couture.

It was reportedly introduced to Kardashian's team four months ago.

The same ensemble recently sold for nearly $11,500 on 1st Dibs.

On GMA, Kardashian shared stories from filming All's Fair.

She revealed she thought Sarah Paulson's lower-register on-camera voice was her real voice until just a few weeks ago.

Despite that confession, the costars were some of the closest on set.

"They made Sarah and I one time get up and take a walk around the building because they said we needed to get it together," Kardashian told the talk show.

"We were laughing so hard."

Kardashian later changed into a sheer knit minidress from Dolce and Gabbana's Autumn/Winter 1997 collection.

She has curated a press tour wardrobe full of custom gowns from Ashi Studio, vintage pieces from Todd Oldham, and standout couture looks from Schiaparelli.

Lawrence has been a fan of the Kardashian family since she was 14.

That fandom turned into a real friendship over the course of 11 years.

Last night's matching pajama moment is just the latest chapter.

The two women have now gone from a shouted elevator introduction to a coordinated slumber-party exit from one of New York's most famous hotels.

Whether Lawrence still considers the friendship one-sided is unclear.
