It’s a straightforward picture of the stars of the latest spy film, Red Sparrow.
Taken at the London photocall yesterday, the picture features some big names including Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Irons and Joel Edgerton.
But once your brain has recognised the faces, it might pick up on a teeny, tiny detail that speaks volumes. And once you see it, the problem becomes glaringly obvious.
You see, while the male stars of the film are dressed in long pants and coats, Lawrence, the only female actress in the picture, is wearing full makeup and an evening dress.
It's... it's almost like they were given totally different dress codes.
The discrepancy in dress was pointed out by Newstatesman Deputy Editor Helen Lewis in a tweet that's been retweeded almost 2000 times.

Omg don’t be ridiculous! She is an attractive woman who likes to show off her looks. And she looks fantastic. No one FORCED her to dress like this.
You could have a broader conversation about why women wear tighter / more revealing clothing than men, but it doesn’t do any good to discuss that in a fake context of Jennifer Lawrence being FORCED to wear a dress to a publicity event.
‘Poor Lawrence’... that is so incredibly ridiculous.
Often for photo calls and magazine shots they have to.
Surely JL is a mature, intelligent woman, who is more than capable of making her own decisions as to what she is going to wear at any given point in time, and who would stand up for herself if being asked to do something that she wasn't comfortable with.
Besides, they might have easily popped out of a nearby door, taken a few snaps and then gotten back inside within minutes.
