“I had my brothers’ hand-me-downs,” Jennifer explained on her fashion while growing up. “I had no choice! I didn’t want to be, but my parents wouldn’t buy me clothes. I had to wear my brothers’ clothes, so I was literally wearing men’s clothing. I was mixing and matching, I could get some girl clothes.”

Jennifer also just finished wrapping up filming the second Hunger Games movie titled Catching Fire, which is slated to be released November 2013.
