Julia Roberts in a blue suit at the Larry Crowne premiere: classy or too matchy?

fp_7524747_rij_larry_crowne
Julia Roberts tried to work a fitted, possibly polyester blend suit at the Larry Crowne premiere in LA yesterday. I like the tailored suit trend, but this outfit is just wrong on Julia, especially with the matching shell under the jacket. All she needed to complete this look was a silky top in a color that popped. Instead it’s all kind of monochrome except for the jade necklace, which looks like a set piece from Eat, Pray Love. Plus those pants need to be hemmed for her a little. Her hair and makeup are polished yet effortless though. I love the loose bun she’s wearing in her hair.

Also at last night’s premiere was Taraji P. Hensen in a crimson dress. It looks like Leger and I’m over that too-tight dress trend. She looks hot though. IMDB has her listed in the movie although I didn’t spot her in the trailer.

Model Selita Ebanks, not in this movie, had on a ridiculous v-neck fuschia mini dress with gemstone detail at the sides. She paired it with leopard peep toe ankle booties and gold bangle bracelets. She’s a knockout, but what a wreck that outfit is. Plus check out her rooster hair.

Jenna Elfman, another non-costar, was there in a breezy purple dress, gold kitten heels and a canary clutch. She’s cray to the z but I like her look here. My hairdresser would have something to say about her very chunky highlights, although he’d praise the cut.

Tom Hanks, Julia’s costar, wore his best freshly washed jeans with a navy dress shirt and plain jacket. His wife, Rita Wilson, tried a little harder in a sequin cocktail dress and tuxedo jacket. You would think that these two would work to coordinate more considering that they’ve been married for 22 years, but maybe Rita lets Tom do his own thing. If Tom were my man I would try to dress him better.

Tom seems to have arrived by scooter, at least part of the way. His character rides a scooter in the film and it’s doubtful that he took that thing more than a few blocks. Otherwise it might explain why he was dressed like a deliveryman.

Bonus pic – a freshly shorn Bryan Cranston with his wife Robin Dearden. This is how a couple coordinates, and apparently they’ve been together about as long as Tom and Rita.

Here’s the trailer. It looks cute but I’ll probably wait to see it on DVD. Larry Crowne is out this Friday in the US, on July 1.

    Roberts may be pregnant because she seems to gain weight on her belly

    So OVER Julia Roberts. I think she’s an insecure name-dropping has been. Her initial fame was a case of mistaken identity, if you ask me.

    Selita Ebanks outfit, hair and shoes are horrible, the dress is way to short and does not compliment her frame.

    Julia outfit is a bit boring,she really need some color under the jacket and maybe a hot pair of shoes, but she still looks good.

  5. Shay says:

    She looks like a frumpy customer service team leader.
    But in saying that, I think that she is probably more down to earth in that she doesn’t really give a rat’s about sucking up to designers or endorsing particular luxury labels (for exorbitant fees), which is rare for a contemporary actress.

    Her necklace looks like a complete afterthought and is too long. That blue is not Roberts’ colour at all – she looks like a giant bruise.

    Don’t like the matching top with the suit.
    I like Tom Hanks and the movie looks OK, but anytime I hear Julia’s horse laugh in the commercials I cringe, and then laugh when I think of Liz Lemon doing her “Julia Roberts laugh” on 30 Rock.

    I may be mistaken… but isn’t that her sister (2 picture-blonde hair) standing behind Julia. The one that she is not very nice to.

    And the best part of this visual of Julia… is that she has a gut. That is her belly hanging over the top of those low rider pants. With her belly button pucker-up, waving “hello” to everyone on the carpet. :)

    So my bias point would be. She isn’t so slim herself. And I am still annoyed to think she would say evil crap to her sister.

    Moving on….

    I love those leopard booties that Selita has on. But I would like to see them with a great pair of flair legged pants instead. Not with a tiny mini dress.

    I agree – bad hair on Jenna. God. She looks terrible. And Julia has a belly – no biggie. And she is probably a bitch. I still love her. Maybe even more because of those two things.

    My gym is on Hollywood Blvd, just beyond the Chinese Theater. It’s always annoying walking to it from the subway because the sidewalks are mobbed with oblivious, slow-moving tourists who stop suddenly to point at people dressed up as movie characters or to lay down next to a star on the sidewalk. Last night was the premiere of this movie so the street and sidewalk was closed and it was a gazillion times more mobbed than usual because people were desperate to watch the celebrities walk the red carpet.

    Whatever, premieres happen. But when it is a premiere for two of my least favorite actors, it just ups my annoyance factor. Especially when all that hub-bub almost made me late for post-workout sundaes (what..am I doing it wrong?)

    SO TACKY.

    Someone tell me please, preferably a guy, what men see in this woman? She has no figure – and that mouth!!! Aye aye aye, it looks like a piranha face coming at you. And I understand that the personality is no better. So what IS it with her? I don’t see it at all.

    Hautie, yup, think you’re right, think that is her poor sister, forever trapped in her piranha-faced shadow.

    The fabric looks cheap and the cut is terrible. And the green necklace should be red and she should have on red pumps. This outfuit sucks though.It looks like something a 75 year old gal would wear when hosting Bridge Club (or Bunko). Rita Wilson, however, looks dynamite.

    Hautie & Lou – I think that’s Julia’s sister, but not the same half-sister that Julia thinks is offensively overweight.

    From looking at Julia’s necklace and hair I get the feeling she tries to do all her own styling in order to save money. She is notoriously chintzy and probably can’t see herself paying big bucks for proper styling – not when she can do it herself. And look like crap.

  27. KateNonymous says:

    I don’t mind the color (boring, but not horrible), but the whole thing is cut to make her look short and heavy. If it looks that way on Julia Roberts, how does that outfit look on a regular person?

    I think Tom Hanks was dressing to match her.

    as the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder,so…. and i have no problem with the tight,short dresses of those young ladies, it’s appropriate for their age,and they have the body, it’s that over 40 age group that’s the problem.

    My friend saw niece Emma Roberts grinding her teeth at Spring Street Lounge in NYC last night. Coke?

    Julia has a bit of a stomach, but a little fat is keeping her face looking young. The # of actresses who would look more youthful if they would gain just 5 little pounds …

    Julia Roberts in a pant suit… great.

    I imagine Rita coming out of her dressing area, down the stairs to find Tom in his jeans and saying “that’s what you’re wearing?… F*<%, you have no time to change”

    Nice photoshop on Tom in movie poster. Looks like a huge botox addition to the forehead at least.

    Still deciding whether to see movie. Dislike Julia, Love Tom Hanks… storyline looks funny but average….hmmm

    Even after the 20 years or so that Pretty Woman came out, I STILL can not see what anyone sees in this woman. Yeah, she was sorta cute back then…BRIEFLY..until her true inner bitch emerged on everyone film she worked on since then. And now it seems, her inner ugliness has begun to take over her outer appearance.

    @Lou: ‘mouth like a piranha coming at you!’ Hysterical!!!
