Fans React to Julia Roberts' Shirtdress
The mother of three elevated the look with Jimmy Choo pointed-toe stilettos, black sunglasses, and a sleek black Manu Atelier bag.
With her red hair styled in a chic side-parted bun, Roberts radiated effortless confidence as she smiled her way into the event.
Although she exuded effortless chic, not everyone was impressed—many fashion critics took to the comments to share their disapproval of her outfit.
“Generally love her style, but this looks like a sleeping gown,” said one user. Another said, “The whole fit looks awkward, like something is missing. A belt with the dress would've been more flattering.” A third wrote on Facebook, "If this was worn by anyone not famous, you’d be saying how shapeless, unflattering, and silly it is. Because it is." A fourth said, "Silly-looking dress."
Julia Roberts Wears A 'Strange' Sweater At VFF
This isn’t the first time Roberts’ fashion choices have sparked debate. In August, her outfit at the Venice Film Festival turned heads for being, well, anything but conventional.
The Oscar-winning actress arrived in Italy wearing a quirky off-white cardigan covered entirely in sketches of director Luca Guadagnino’s face—a bold tribute to the After the Hunt filmmaker. While the gesture was playful and personal, many on social media weren’t impressed, calling the look “strange” and suggesting she could’ve chosen something more flattering.
Julia styled the statement cardigan with tailored black shorts and a ribbed black tank, finishing the look with her signature effortless charm. But despite her chic touches, the internet seemed divided—some praising her originality, others slamming the cardigan as one of her most puzzling red-carpet choices.
"The cardigan is just awful!" wrote a user, as another called it a "strange sweater."
