Julia Roberts has been out and about promoting her upcoming psychological thriller, After the Hunt, and I have to say, her press tour style has been as exciting as the film itself. While she plays a calm and serious Yale professor in the movie, her press tour wardrobe is anything but boring. Each appearance has shown a different side of her fashion personality, proving she can transition effortlessly from playful to powerful.
💫 Jump to a Look:
At her movie’s Los Angeles special screening, Roberts radiated playful, feminine elegance in a hot pink Greta Constantine dress paired with black Aquazzura pumps.
Earlier in the week, she dropped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert wearing an oversized gray suit by Salon 1884, exuding effortless confidence with a touch of androgynous flair. Later, she was spotted leaving the studio in an edgier black-and-white look featuring a Twinship sweater dress layered under a Libertine coat, finished with black Jimmy Choo pumps.

In After the Hunt, Roberts plays Yale professor Alma Imhoff, who becomes involved in a scandal after her colleague, Henrik “Hank” Gibson (Andrew Garfield), is accused of sexual assault. She finds herself caught between standing up for her student and defending her colleague while facing a dark secret from her past.
The Luca Guadagnino-directed film had its world premiere at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival and will be released in the US on October 10.

Let’s look at Julia Roberts’ style moments from the press tour.
Rewearing Pink Glamour: Greta Constantine Gown & Black Aquazzura Pumps
I appreciate it when a celebrity embraces sustainability, and Julia Roberts continues to set the bar high. For the After the Hunt special screening in Los Angeles, she re-wore a striking hot pink Greta Constantine dress, the very same one she debuted at the 2022 red carpet premiere of her rom-com movie with George Clooney, Ticket to Paradise.
The $2,545 “Keele” dress from Greta Constantine’s Spring 2021 collection was crafted from luxurious silk faille and featured a daring plunging neckline that dipped to the sternum. Its gartered puff sleeves, gathered nicely at the elbows, added a touch of romance, while the fitted waist highlighted Julia’s slender frame before flowing into a voluminous tiered skirt.
Julia gave this look a second life. She had the original floor-length gown hemmed to mid-calf, giving it a lighter, more youthful feel.

Elevating Barbiecore Glamour with Sabyasachi Jewels and a Tyler Ellis Clutch
Roberts switched up her accessories, too! Instead of the Chopard amethyst drop earrings she wore in 2022, she elevated her look with $18,000 Sabyasachi statement earrings crafted in 18k gold with apatite, tsavorite, and brilliant-cut EF VVS VS diamonds. Adding even more glamour, she adorned her decolletage with a breathtaking $242,800 Sabyasachi necklace featuring a mix of sapphire, tourmalines, thulite, labradorite, and brilliant-cut diamonds, complementing the vibrancy of her Barbie pink dress.
Julia’s hair fell in loose waves around her shoulders, while her makeup matched the tone of her dress, with pink blush and lipstick. She carried a magenta Tyler Ellis “Eloise” clutch, though I think a sleek black one would’ve balanced the look better.

Completing the Look With Classic Black Aquazzura “Purist” Pumps
Completing her look were sleek Aquazzura “Purist” pumps in black satin. These timeless pumps were made in Italy and featured smooth satin uppers that gave off a subtle sheen. They also boasted sharply pointed toes that elongated her legs, finished with slender 4-inch stiletto heels that boosted Julia’s height.
With their timeless pointed toes and sleek stiletto silhouette, the Aquazzura “Purist” pumps remain a favorite among Hollywood’s most stylish women. From red carpets to private events, these elegant heels continue to prove their versatility and enduring appeal.

Smart Chic: Gray Salon 1884 Suit & Slingback Oxfords
For her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Julia Roberts stylishly referenced her own fashion moment, particularly her iconic 1990 Golden Globes look, in which she famously wore a gray Giorgio Armani suit. This time, though, her take on menswear tailoring felt sleeker, sharper, and more modern.
Julia opted for a dark gray suit from Salon 1884, a British label known for its precision tailoring and sustainable craftsmanship.
Her Spring 2026 ensemble featured a double-breasted blazer with defined shoulders, sharp peak lapels, and glossy black buttons, perfectly tailored to her frame. The satin finish brought a subtle sheen, softening its otherwise sharp, masculine silhouette.
Roberts teamed the jacket with its matching high-waisted pleated trousers, which draped fluidly over her legs, creating a sense of movement with every step. The relaxed, wide-leg cut balanced the blazer’s more structured fit, giving the borrowed-from-the-boys aesthetic a fresh, modern edge. Instead of a classic crisp white shirt, Julia wore a lighter gray button-down shirt underneath for a chic monochromatic finish.

Adding Playful Personality with Vintage Brooches and a Smart-Chic Professor Vibe
What stole my attention, though, was her navy blue necktie, whimsically adorned with a selection of playful vintage brooches. Among them were standout pieces like the KJL Kenneth Jay Lane Bird Gold Tone Rhinestone Thermoset Enamel Brooch, the Moschino Vintage Safety Pin Brooch with Peace & Love Charms, the Joan Rivers Bumble Bee Brooch, a YSL Vintage Faux Pearl Brooch, the Fall 1989 Moschino Dinner Cutlery Brooch, and the Nolan Miller Vintage Red Hummingbird Brooch. These charming details brought personality to her structured business wear!
Roberts pulled her auburn hair up into a chic high bun with side-swept bangs, giving her look a refined, academe vibe, perfectly in line with her latest movie role. Her makeup was simple yet elegant, with a hint of eyeliner, soft blush, and pink lipstick that added warmth to her dark gray outfit.
I commend Julia for adding those eyeglasses! They instantly gave her that smart, chic professor aura, tying not only into her tailored look but also subtly nodding to her role. She kept her jewelry minimal, opting for classic hoop earrings and a few delicate rings. She then carried a $660 black Polene “Numero Dix” bag, handcrafted by artisans in Spain and Portugal.

Grounding the Look with Sleek Black Pointed-Toe Oxfords
To complete her ensemble, Julia wore black leather pointed-toe oxfords that gave the look a confident, slightly rebellious edge. They were sleek and structured, crafted from polished leather with sharp, pointed toes that created a leg-lengthening effect and slim high heels that added just the right amount of height. They also boasted Oxford lacing, though partially hidden beneath her pants.
Oxford shoes have long been a symbol of timeless sophistication, effortlessly balancing structure and style. From classic leather lace-ups to bold reinterpretations on modern icons, these versatile shoes remain a staple in both red carpet wardrobes and everyday fashion.

Artistic Tribute: Libertine Coat, Twinship Dress & Jimmy Choo Heels
Julia Roberts was pictured leaving The Late Show with Stephen Colbert studios later that day, wearing a witty and chic ensemble that paid tribute to two significant figures: Luca Guadagnino, director of After the Hunt, and William Shakespeare.
She wore a dramatic black Libertine Spring 2026 trench coat with Shakespeare’s portrait rendered in a studded halftone pattern across the back, lower right side, and left chest. The effect gave the coat a cool, vintage look with an artistic twist, perfectly blending sophistication with the creativity that Libertine is known for.
Underneath, Julia wore a custom Twinship sweater mini dress, “The Luca”, designed as an homage to After the Hunt director Luca Guadagnino. His face was embroidered all over the piece, giving it a clever, personal touch. It was finished with a ribbed v-neckline, long sleeves with ribbed cuffs, and a thigh-skimming hem that kept the look playful yet polished.

In keeping with the monochromatic theme of the ensemble, Julia carried a black Polene “Numero Dix” bag. She hid her eyes behind the Tribal Eyes “Isidore” wayfarer sunglasses, which had thick black acetate frames and warm peach-tinted lenses, adding a pop of color to her black-and-white outfit.
Her auburn hair was pulled up into a casual, messy updo that added to the look’s relaxed charm, while her peachy blush and lipstick gave her a natural glow that softened the outfit’s bold details.
She then wore sheer black tights that complemented the ensemble’s retro aesthetic and subtly referenced the season.

A pair of black Jimmy Choo “Ixia” pumps rounded out her ensemble. At first look, they looked like classic pointed-toe pumps, but up close, the sculptural, drop-shaped stiletto heels revealed a unique twist. Inspired by the motion of a falling droplet, the heels turned a timeless design into a work of art.
From red carpet premieres to stylish press appearances, the sleek Jimmy Choo “Ixia” pumps have become a celebrity favorite. Their sculptural drop-shaped heel and timeless silhouette make them a go-to choice for stars seeking elegance with an edge.
