Julia Roberts once again demonstrated her approachable charm as she left Claridge’s Hotel in London, stopping to engage warmly with fans eager to catch a glimpse of the A-list actress. At 57, Roberts was in the city promoting her new psychological thriller, After the Hunt. She turned heads with a bold fashion choice, wearing an oversized blazer paired with matching Bermuda shorts, complemented by a crisp white shirt, floral patterned tie, sheer tights, and black flats. Her look was accessorised by a dark cherry shoulder bag and dark sunglasses, exuding a relaxed yet polished style as she posed for selfies before heading to a waiting car.

The film After the Hunt features Roberts as a college professor facing a personal and professional crisis when a star pupil accuses one of her colleagues, and a dark secret from her past threatens to emerge. The cast includes notable names such as Andrew Garfield, Ayo Edebiri, and Michael Stuhlbarg. Throughout her promotional tour, Roberts appeared on The Graham Norton Show, where she shared a humorous story about her recent experience in the Wimbledon Royal Box. She recalled sitting between Benedict Cumberbatch and her husband, Daniel Moder, and admitting she loudly gasped every time the ball was hit — much to the dismay of the expected decorum in the exclusive 74-seat suite, typically reserved for royalty, government leaders, and high-profile celebrities.

This Wimbledon appearance marked one of several public outings for Roberts during the summer, where she notably embraced the “tenniscore” fashion trend with a sporty Gucci white polo dress featuring red accents, showcasing her ability to effortlessly balance chic with comfort. At the same event, she also sported darkly tinted sunglasses and accompanied her ensemble with elegant accessories, captured alongside other celebrities such as Cumberbatch. According to coverage of Wimbledon 2024, Roberts' relaxed yet fashionable choices perfectly suited the prestigious atmosphere of the tournament.

Roberts’ London appearances, including the Claridge’s outing, echo her status as a style icon with the ability to blend timeless elegance with current trends. Earlier in December 2023, she participated in a British Vogue cover shoot at the same hotel, highlighting a glamorous side with luxury designer tuxedos and gowns by Stella McCartney and Valentino, captured amid the sweeping views from the Penthouse suite. This photoshoot, part of Edward Enninful’s penultimate Vogue cover, celebrated her enduring charisma and joyful personality.

Moreover, the star has been coy about future projects, particularly the much-anticipated Ocean’s 14 reboot trilogy, sharing on Norton’s show that while she had discussed it casually, she was unaware of George Clooney’s public announcement. Her history with Ocean’s Eleven, a hugely successful 2001 crime caper, underscores her long-standing connection with the franchise and co-stars like Clooney and Brad Pitt, with their collective box office success exceeding $962 million.

In recent years, Roberts has consistently attracted attention for her fashion choices at promotional events and premieres. For example, in December 2023, she was seen at a screening for Leave the World Behind in London wearing a daring Gucci ensemble that combined a baby pink short beneath a blazer with a lacy black bra, paired with diamond jewellery and statement silver pumps. This marked a stylistic evolution from the classic simplicity that once defined her public image toward a more glamorous and expressive aesthetic.

Julia Roberts continues to captivate on screen and off, merging her substantial acting legacy with a modern flair for publicity and style, and maintaining a genuine rapport with fans even amidst her global celebrity status.
