The Actress Enjoys Trying Out New & Unique Looks on the ‘Hunger Games’ Press Tour

As fans eagerly anticipate the premiere of “Sunrise on the Reaping,” Mckenna Grace is having the time of her life on the press tour.

“I’m such a huge ‘Hunger Games’ fan and fashion kind of has been… I don’t know like, whenever you’re a girl and you’re growing up I feel like you get so insecure about your body,” the 20-year-old told Entertainment Tonight.

“Fashion’s been weird and hard for me to figure out, so being able to play around with it in this way has been so fun for me. It makes me feel so, I don’t know, like, in a way, healing, that now I’m having fun with fashion versus it being something of anxiety,” she added.

Jennifer Lawrence played Katniss Everdeen in the original trilogy. Mckenna Grace admits that most of her latest public appearances have been paying homage to her. She even recently stepped out in Katniss’ wedding dress at an event on the press tour.

“Everything is a reference lately,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s just homage to all the people that were a part of this franchise before I was … it’s been really cool. I’m overwhelmed and thankful.”

Joseph Zada and Mckenna Grace star in “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping,” coming to theaters worldwide on November 20.
