Classy Vs. Trashy

In a world where so much of entertainment value comes from shock factor, it's truly hard to draw the line between tasteful and raunchy. Because freedom of expression is something that's valued in our modern-day society, so many outfits, actions, and people are defined as 'artistic' instead of slapped with a title of 'slutty' or 'risque'.

But then looking at our celebrities, how can teenagers and adults alike give Miley Cyrus a verbal beating for her sexual tendencies and tongue-out routine, while allowing Jennifer Lawrence to pose nearly-naked on the front of a popular magazine?

Lawrence, who dresses up (or down, however you want to define it) with body paint and a skin-tight suit for her role in the X-Men series, flaunts off her figure without anyone so much as nearly batting an eye at the choice. Truly, it all comes down to how Jennifer Lawrence has allowed herself to be perceived under the microscope Hollywood has thrust her underneath.

While many celebrities have been known to self-sabotage and toss themselves off the deep end--landing in rehab and debt--Jennifer Lawrence has remained humorous, down-to-earth, and relatable. Whenever she is in front of the camera, she positions herself in a way that the public can smile along with, and her reputation has thus remained untarnished and glorified, no matter how minimal her clothing choice may be.
