Julia Roberts, aged 57, was observed in New York on Wednesday wearing an ensemble strongly reminiscent of the power suit she famously donned at the 47th Annual Golden Globe Awards in 1990.
The Academy Award-winning actress appeared in Midtown Manhattan dressed in an oversized, androgynous grey suit paired with a navy tie. The sharply tailored outfit featured a double-breasted blazer with structured shoulders, a grey dress shirt, and high-waisted pleated trousers. The tie was accessorized with multiple brooches and pins, including a gold frog, a bird, and gold cutlery motifs. Ms. Roberts completed the look with a chic auburn updo, hoop earrings, a pair of pointed-toe black boots, and a minimalist aesthetic that directly echoed her Giorgio Armani menswear ensemble from the 1990 Golden Globes.
At that ceremony, Roberts — then aged 20 and nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Steel Magnolias — not only won the award but also established what has since been regarded as a defining fashion statement. She later confirmed, in a Vogue “Life in Looks” feature, that the suit remains one of her favorite outfits and continues to be in her personal possession.
On the same day in New York, Ms. Roberts appeared in a second distinctive outfit while visiting The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. That attire comprised a long black coat emblazoned with the image of William Shakespeare, worn over a similarly styled graphic-print sweater, combined with black pantyhose, a black purse, and pointed-toe heels.
Roberts, known for her history of iconic red-carpet appearances, continues to receive recognition for both her style and acting. Her forthcoming project, After The Hunt, directed by Luca Guadagnino, is scheduled for release on October 10 and co-stars Andrew Garfield, Chloë Sevigny, and Ayo Edebiri. In the film, Roberts portrays Alma, a university professor entangled in the fallout of a sexual abuse allegation involving a student and a colleague.#newsafro_
