Mckenna Grace’s ‘Sunrise on the Reaping’ press tour wardrobe is a scavenger hunt of ‘Hunger Games’ nods

See more of our coverage in your search results. Let the games begin. Mckenna Grace, who plays District 12 tribute Maysilee Donner in “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping,” has been dressing like the franchise’s most devoted fan in the lead-up to the film’s Nov. 20 release. Working with stylist Molly Dickson, the 20-year-old has hit Paris, Sydney, New York and London in looks that wink at Katniss Everdeen, past cast members and motifs from the series. “Everything is a reference lately,” Grace told Entertainment Tonight earlier this month. “It’s just homage to all the people that were a part of this franchise before I was.” Here’s how she’s paid tribute so far.

Beaded earrings and purple eye shadow pulled the look together. “I’m just missing a cornucopia in here somewhere,” she joked to Entertainment Tonight.

The rainbow ruffles call back to Rachel Zegler’s Lucy Gray Baird in 2023’s “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.” Oct. 26 GC Images Lionsgate On the “Today” show, Grace appeared in an aqua Betsey Johnson minidress, a grown-up version of the puff-sleeve number Amandla Stenberg wore as Rue in 2012’s “The Hunger Games.” She copied the costume down to the twin butterfly clips in her hair.

The motif nods to a scene in “Sunrise on the Reaping.” Oct. 17 Getty Images Getty Images For the Academy Museum Gala, which was not a “Hunger Games”-specific event, Grace channeled Jennifer Lawrence’s real-life wardrobe. She paid homage to the star’s memorable red Calvin Klein gown from the 2011 Oscars in a Mônot halter dress with a plunging neckline.

Her white strapless Monique Lhuillier gown, with an ornate crystal structure floating up off the dress, is modeled on Katniss Everdeen’s “Catching Fire” wedding dress.
