The actress' custom Elisabetta Franchi dress was a reference to another gown from "Catching Fire."

Mckenna Grace‘s latest “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” look at a Los Angeles fan event on Monday night returned to the original film series with a custom Elisabetta Franchi gown that paid homage to another Jennifer Lawrence dress from “Catching Fire.”

The 20-year-old actress‘ dress was constructed in a scintillating black fabric with a form-fitting bodice and flowing skirt that included a thigh-high slit. The plunging neckline of the gown featured sharp edges, with the straps embellished using red and black feathers and tassels of beads.

All over the black gown, beadwork was artfully organized along the dress’ frame to create another dimension to the shape of the gown and added a touch of sparkle to the dark look. Some lace trim was also added at the hem and the open seam for the thigh-high slit.

The dress was a direct callback to a gown Jennifer Lawrence wore as Katniss Everdeen during a scene in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” the 2013 movie that was part of the original film adaptations of author Suzanne Collins’ young adult book series.

Costume designer Trish Summerville created the dress, among other garments for the film’s ensemble. Mckenna Grace’s “Sunrise on the Reaping” press tour has been a showcase of sartorial references to “The Hunger Games” original film series and prequels.

Prior to returning Stateside for the latter half of the film’s promotional tour, Grace and her costars hit Berlin for the film’s premiere on Nov.
