Pretty in Pink: Julia Roberts Dazzles in Head-to-Toe Gucci at London Film Screening
Julia Roberts captivated crowds once again in a sublime Gucci ensemble at the London screening of her new Netflix thriller Leave the World Behind last Wednesday. The iconic actress, known for her impeccable style and enduring charm on and off the screen, embraced the winter whimsy in a pale pink double-breasted blazer and shorts set from Gucci’s Spring Summer 2024 collection.
Exuding effortless glamour, Ms. Roberts wore the dusty rose tailored set half-buttoned, letting the soft yet structured fabric take center stage. The blazer’s rounded shoulders and wide peak lapels lent an air of vintage romance, while the matching shorts showed off her famously toned legs. She completed the look with a frilly cream blouse left coyly open at the neck.
Ever the style maven, the Pretty Woman star cleverly accessorized to make the monochromatic pink outfit pop. A smattering of silver adornments, from her head to her feet, added marvelous shine and texture. Around her neck she wore a dazzling statement necklace from Chopard – no surprise as she’s a longtime friend and muse of the fine jewelry brand.
Yet the pièce de résistance was undoubtedly her shoes: a pair of Gucci’s new Beloved pumps, featuring rows of shimmering bead strands that swayed playfully with her every move. Each strap was intricately strung with hundreds of beads, evoking fanciful icicles or glamorous tinsel. And because Ms. Roberts believes the devil is in the details, she matched her festive silver manicure to her pumps.
With this look, she pays homage not just to one of her favorite labels but also to Gucci’s exciting new era under creative director Sabato De Sarno. His debut collection for the brand, shown in September at Milan Fashion Week, reimagined Gucci classics like the double-breasted suit through a youthful lens. Favored by Gen Z It-girls like Blake Lively and Billie Eilish, the emerging designer’s vision for the future also greatly values sustainability.
Leave the World Behind, Roberts’ new genre-bending film, promises to offer thought-provoking social commentary wrapped in an elevated thriller format. She stars opposite Ethan Hawke as parents whose Argentinian beach vacation with their kids takes a dark turn when the house’s owners, played by Mahershala Ali and Farrah Mackenzie, make a distressing claim about looming disaster.
With this unexpected tale of two families grappling with an unraveling world, Ms. Roberts once again proves her ability to captivate audiences, on and off-screen. At 56, the grace and verve she reveals in her style choices mirror her evergreen acting prowess. For her, living beautifully means evolving over time while staying true to one’s self – a motto that continues to inspire women everywhere.
