I get that Julia Roberts is a “dirty hippie”. She’s a Hindu, you know. She has the beads and everything. In my mind she smells like Patchouli, day-old foundation and butterscotch. Of course I know that Julia has never been stylish – generally, she doesn’t seem to give a sh-t about being a fashionista, or using the red carpet to her advantage. I kind of admire that, because it makes me think that Julia is like, “People will come to see the movie because of me, not because of what I wear to the premiere.” So, with that in mind, I present to you Julia’s latest outfit on the promotional tour for Eat, Pray, Love.
Now – I already know that some of you are going to be like “Oh, that outfit is cute, you’re a dumb whore, Kaiser.” True. But think about this – this is Julia in Rome, one of the major cities featured in Eat, Pray, Love. There are Eat, Pray, Love tours full of Julia-loving women coming through the city right now, waiting in line anxiously for their gelato. This isn’t just film promotion – it’s the motherload of cross-promotion. You’d think that Julia would really bring it, wouldn’t you? Even if she was just classing the sh-t up with a really gorgeous suit. But no, instead we get Julia in leggings, dominatrix sandals and a glorified muumuu, with a THAT’S SO TACKY belt. Minus the shoes, this is what you wear lounging around the house, or to pick up your groceries. The muumuu’s pattern is disturbing too – it looks really, really cheap. And it’s like a faux crocodile print too, right?
I will give Julia one thing though – her makeup does look really good here. The hair? Not so much. She needs to stop parting it down the middle. It makes her face longer and (more) horsey. But, hey, she’s standing next to Javier Bardem and I’m not, so what the f-ck do I know?

I agree, her make-up looks better than it has in a long time, but I still can’t tolerate her and that fake laugh of hers.

What is going on with her crazy eyes? She looks like Charles Manson.

She looks pregnant. I suspected it in the horrid ‘other unmentionable’ dress she wore, but this is the kicker. Look how high that belt sits in front – just under her bust and seemingly over a mound. And there are all those little darts in the fabric to make it lay flat over her tummy. Uh huh.

She does appear pregnant to me too.

and the EYES! I’m thinking brow lift.

Well there were just bikini shots of her in Hawaii last week with a flat stomach. So unless a doctor inserted a 3-4 month fetus in her surgically this week she can’t be pregnant

Julia Roberts looks like Steven Tyler’s younger sister. She’s a gawky mess.

@Kim: I just looked at those photos, and while I can’t say comfortably that her stomach is ‘flat’, she doesn’t look necessairly pregant either.
So I guess we can just chalk it up to a REALLY unflattering top/dress. Wow. that’s bad. lol

Haha! That is a great description.
And she comes across as too smug to think she’s got to be bothered to “bring” anything else other than her glorified I AM JULIA ROBERTS self.

Her eyes look kind of coked out to me. Not to say that she is, but that keeping your eyes super open is very cokey.
Of course I wouldn’t rule out plastic surgery.

You think with all the money she has she would have someone help her pick out clothes that would be more flattering for her figure. This is unattractive to say the least.

Julia filmed the bikini scene in Ocean’s when she was 3 or 4 months pregnant. I don’t remember what month she was in, but I was SURPRISED when I read the interview she gave…So, it’s possible….

The weirdest thing is that Julia and Xavier look like sister and brother in the third picture: same facial expression, same crazy eyes, same wide open nostrils, same smile and lips.
And please, tell me she’s not pregnant, the world is already full of stupid people, no need to add another one.
Ok, that was mean…

In the book they said that the word that epitomized Rome was sex. Looking at those two the only words that come to mind are ‘blowsy’ and ‘bloated’. Instead of ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ maybe they should have named it ‘Eat, Burp, Fart’.

I love Julia! I agree – a beautiful suit would have been a better choice – but she’s Julia, I love her, I don’t give a sh*t what she wears.

I totally agree… I think it’s great when an actress downplays their looks. This profession seems to be the only one where this sort of thing prevails. If I thought people were basing their judgment of my work on my looks, I would rebel (and I have). Like I’ve said before, I’m in physics and if I’m giving a presentation or something, I generally go extra frumpy and try to look as disheveled as I can so people will pay attention to what I am saying and not my boobs.
The way people style women nowadays is just kind of gross… they try to make them look like skeletal little girls or greasy and oversexed and turn them into nothing but body parts…When I sit down and think about it, it kind of makes me depressed that I have to constantly live with that sort of imagery of women around me… it’s just sad
has anyone seen killing me softly? It’s about how women are completely and utterly objectified by the media… It’s so sad is the best way I can describe it
.
Anyway, my point is that I admire Julia for dressing like a normal person and not over-sexualizing herself… and I don’t see her in these cover shoots looking all greasy or over-sexed like all these new-comers… it’s quite refreshing for someone to uphold their fame based on their merits…

She dresses (like hell) as if she’s having a perpetual identity crisis. Girl cannot dress herself to save her own life. Endearing, but damn, style is easy when you have so much natural beauty. Not for Julia–beauty, no style.

Pathetic, those bagging her. Hotter than the skanks the bulk of you are shagging. Whether she deserves the hype is another thing.

God she needs a new stylist. I agree, an elegant trouser suit would have looked great on her, maybe in a navy? With a white blouse? Maybe some more copper tones in her hair? A tad more makeup?
She still does have great legs so she should wear more shorter tailored dresses-how about Victoria Beckhams ones, that kind of thing? and get RID of the clunky blank shoes-they only suit 20somethings sorry! Go for a nice pair of Louboutins, maybe in beige-can’t go wrong with that really. She looks like shes going to the pub, not a premiere. And god, how I wish women would just STOP wearing leggings! They’re horrible, suit about 0.1% of the population ie Kate Moss et al.

#65–Great assessment. JR should hire you, pronto! Tell her that you are right about leggins’ but allow her to wear them (because her legs are great) ONLY for shlepping around the kids on errands or for Yoga, ’cause she’s just like the rest of us, doing that stuff, right?! (I’m serious, I just don’t know what these stars are really up to. lol)
