Julia Roberts and Amanda Seyfried Style the Same Versace Suit with Very Different Shoes

It’s not unusual to see celebrities step out in the same designer outfit months or years apart, but it’s definitely a surprise to see it happen at the same event within days of each other.

That’s precisely what happened at the 82nd Venice Film Festival, where petite Amanda Seyfried — standing at 5 feet 2 ½ inches (158.8 cm) in a US shoe size 8 — and the much taller Julia Roberts, who measures 5ft 8 (172.7 cm) and wears a US size 9.5 shoe, both stepped out in the same 1990s-inspired Versace tailoring by the house’s new creative director, Dario Vitale.

Versace’s New Era: Julia Roberts & Amanda Seyfried Make a Twin Style Statement

Vitale, who took over as creative director of Versace in April 2025 after Donatella Versace stepped down following nearly three decades in the role, has been bringing fresh energy to the house. Roberts’ sharply tailored ensemble was among his first designs, showing a dramatic shift from Versace’s bold, over-the-top style to a new era of sleek and timeless glamour.

Roberts first debuted the outfit at the photocall for her new psychological thriller, After the Hunt, where her tailored sophistication instantly drew attention. Three days later, Seyfried wore the same look when she attended the photocall for her historical drama musical, The Testament of Ann Lee. However, what initially appeared to be a coincidental matching moment turned out to be a playful and intentional nod to fashion sustainability.

Both actresses share the same stylist, Elizabeth Stewart. After Seyfried spotted Roberts in the Versace outfit on Stewart’s Instagram, she commented, “Please let me wear the same outfit.” Sure enough, Seyfried got her wish. Stewart later thanked Roberts on Instagram for her “generosity and sustainability” in letting the look be borrowed and re-worn so soon.

Breaking Down the Versace Power Suit: Tailoring, Denim, and Borrowed-from-the-Boys Cool

The Versace look blended vintage power dressing with modern tailoring. It included a navy single-breasted blazer that had a slightly oversized cut, offering a relaxed, borrowed-from-the-boys feel. The sleeves, which were casually pushed up to the elbows, enhanced the laid-back vibe of the sophisticated outfit. At the same time, the strong, padded shoulders gave it a contemporary nod to the bold power suits of the 1980s, channeling an effortless working girl vibe with a 2025 twist.

Underneath, both Roberts and Seyfried wore the same button-down striped shirt in muted yellow. Their styling made all the difference. Seyfried went bolder, undoing two buttons for a more casual, sultrier look, while Roberts left one button undone for a more understated polish.

Instead of wearing skirts or formal pants, both stars opted for informal tailoring, tucking the shirt into dark-wash, straight-leg denim jeans, which also looked similar. It was a polished yet approachable choice for a photocall. The denim fabric kept the look unfussy yet modern, while the straight leg cut created a clean and elongated silhouette. A black leather belt with gold hardware tied the look together, adding just the right amount of refinement to balance the casual elements.

Hair, Makeup & Accessories: How Julia and Amanda Added Their Own Spin

Amanda and Julia also shared similar hair and makeup. Roberts wore her signature auburn hair in glossy waves cascading over her shoulders, complemented by eyeliner, pink blush, and a matching pink lip for a fresh, approachable glow. Seyfried also let her hair down in loose waves, but she opted for a more understated makeup, opting for a pale, minimalist look with a hint of blush, a nude lip, and soft eyeliner.

While everything looked the same, their accessories highlighted their individuality. Roberts leaned into statement details, wearing teardrop earrings and rings by Hassanzadeh, paired with layered delicate necklaces. She also wore the $683 Lapima “Julia” sunglasses in Caramel Bluesky at one point, which I thought was a playful nod to her name and a smart way to add a hint of star power to the look. Even her black-manicured hands added a touch of edge, contrasting beautifully with the sharp tailoring.

Seyfried, on the other hand, kept things simple by skipping the necklace and choosing only a few rings and tiny hoop earrings. Her bright red manicure, however, added a punch of color to the navy blazer and dark jeans.

Footwear Face-Off: Julia’s Classic Pumps vs. Amanda’s Modern Sandals

Their shoe choices also made quite a huge difference. Roberts stayed classic with the Versace “Vienna” d’Orsay pumps in a rich, earthy brown leather. The pumps added a touch of antique appeal to her ensemble with their woven vamps, along with classic details such as ankle straps, pointed toes, and high heels.

Seyfried also chose Versace, opting for a modern edge with the Versace Chain Patent sandals. They came in glossy patent leather, featuring a strappy upper, a squared-off open toe, and a buckled ankle strap. These sandals are instantly recognizable due to their V-shaped gold hardware detail at the T-straps, which gives them their signature Versace stamp. You can find these sandals at Farfetch, retailing for $1,150.

From Julia’s timeless pumps to Amanda’s edgy sandals, this Versace fashion moment proves just how much footwear can transform the same outfit.
