Julia Roberts arrived at the 2025 Venice Film Festival today more than dressed for the occasion.
The actor, who is in town for the premiere of Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt, showed her allegiance to her director via her clothing. Roberts, wearing her trademark megawatt smile, showed up to the Floating City in a black and white cardigan bearing Guadagnino’s face.
Roberts’s themed sweater wasn’t her only fashion coup, either. Alongside her black tee, knee-length Bermuda shorts, Superga sneakers, and oversized cat-eye sunglasses, she toted Michael Rider’s revamped Celine New Luggage bag. (If this is how she arrives at the festival, we can only imagine what she has in store for the rest of Venice.)
This isn’t Roberts’s first rodeo with extreme method dressing. At the 2022 Kennedy Center Honors, she paid sartorial homage to her Ticket to Paradise co-star, George Clooney: Roberts and her stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, tapped Jeremy Scott to fashion her a custom Moschino dress adorned with framed photos of the actor from his ER days all the way through his silver fox era.
In Julia Roberts’s world, it seems there is no greater honor than a fashion homage. It’s safe to say that she wears her heart on her sleeve.
