Legend has it that actor Julia Roberts booked her first major film role, Daisy in Mystic Pizza, because of her gorgeous red hair. Here s the thing: Julia isn t actually a redhead and had just recently dyed her hair—and the rest is history.

While Julia may currently be a blonde, her niece Emma Roberts has just followed in her aunt s ‘80s footsteps and gone red. Hairstylists Nikki Lee and Riawna Capri took Emma from blonde to a shade she’s calling “sunrise red” earlier this week. It s a multifaceted, warm copper red that is given even more depth by the layers in the haircut.

We weren t the only ones who noticed the similarity—Instagram s most popular comments included “Level Aunt Julia unlocked” as well as numerous GIFs with famous scenes from Julia s films.

Will this inspire Julia to also return to red? Only time will tell.
