    Shorts suit with heels and shoulder pads? I do believe that’s straight outta Pretty Woman.

    • Sophie says:

      I basically got the same outfit for my 6 year old son to wear to a wedding….because he refuses to wear pants. This should not be a fashion choice.

  2. notasugarhere says:

    Her orange shorts suit from Pretty Woman 30 years ago was better than this one, and it was still Pretty Bad. That’s all I’ve got.

    • bettyrose says:

      Thirty years ago?!? Shut your mouth. It was 10 years ago, and I stand by that.

      • notasugarhere says:

        LOL

        😉

      • Lorelei says:

        Total tangent here but I watched Sleeping With the Enemy recently for the first time in decades, and I could not believe they were still using audio cassettes…I would have sworn we’d moved on to CDs by then, but nope.

    • Rose says:

      Oh I understand the hate but I enjoy the shorts suit on Julia. It looks comfy!!! I think the length of her blazer sells the look for me. Plus she looks happy.

      • Rose says:

        Sorry – I meant to post this as a stand alone comment and not a reply – my apologies to this thread!!

      • Yeah see I don’t especially care for a shorts suit but I think she looks nice!I was just on Anthropologie and sent my 19 year old college daughter a pic of a cute outfit that was baggy shorts to the knees with a vest on top and by gosh it was cute (too expensive so she declined)but everything comes back in style so…Me thinks we will see more of this look-if you can pull it off go for it I guess 😊

      • VIV says:

        Yeah I don’t completely love this one but I definitely had some suit shorts & vest combo outfits in the 2007-2009 time-frame (no shoulder pads though!). It does all just come back around

  3. Liz Version 700 says:

    Nope! Sorry Julia I am not wearing shorts with a shoulder padded jacket. Nope nope nope

  4. SpankyB says:

    My eye first went to Richard Marx and I thought “Huh, he’s morphing into Richard Marx, that’s not all bad. But why is he with Robert Plant”. Then it all clicked into place and made much more sense.

  5. MangoAngelesque says:

    More proof that lots of 80s fashion was actually really bad and should be left in people’s trapper-keeper nostalgia banks.

    No amount of bad prints and shoulder pads is going to make your brand of “fetch” happen, Vivian.

  6. Green Desert says:

    Ok I’ll say it…I love this on her! 🙂 I’m feeling the 90’s nostalgia right now (I came of age in that decade) and I love that early 90’s fashion with a twist on Julia. Not everyone can pull it off but I think she can.

    • Lady Baden-Baden says:

      I agree – I think she looks fantastic!

      (ETA I have come to terms with the fact that Kaiser and I have opposite tastes in fashion after all these years reading Celebitchy!!)

  7. Julia K says:

    I would love the diet secrets that actors use to slim down before filming. Saw Julia Roberts pictures from last summer on yacht in a bathing suit and she was curvier then compared to quite slender now.

  8. Concern Fae says:

    I’m just laughing. Julia Roberts has been flaunting her terrible fashion taste for over three decades now and having a great time doing it.

    • BothSidesNow says:

      I would like thank all of you ladies, and gents, for bringing myself, a cranky bitch with depleting optimism, an absolute joy each day!! Your wisdom, comedy, satire, expansive viewpoints, unlimited compassion, and empathy brighten each day of my life!!
      I enjoy reading your comments, reading about you all as you share your highs, and your unfortunate lows, all while we enjoy taking a bit of time to escape reality. And I can not forget to thank Kaiser, Oya, Hecate and Peridot

      • BeanieBean says:

        And CB herself! (I’m sure that was an oversight!) 😉 And I second everything you said BothSidesNow!

      • BothSidesNow says:

        Yes, @ BeanieBean! Absolutely CB herself!! I am terribly sorry for the oversight!! Please accept my apologies!!

        Brava to CB!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

      • Velvetess says:

        ALL OF THIS!!

  9. April Lea says:

    Loving the shorts suits and shoulder pads! Moar!!!!!

  10. Claireb says:

    Really ?? I love it !!

  11. Merricat says:

    Not a Julia Roberts fan. Not a Julia Roberts’ fashion fan, either.

  12. Christa says:

    Yea these king sleeves are getting on my nerves. One or two shirts are fine. Let’s have some variety. Tis the spice of life.

  13. AJ says:

    I love it on her! For some reason I didn’t feel like it worked on Kristen Stewart but Julia can pull it off. She looks great over all. If she has had plastic surgery you can’t tell at all

  14. ME says:

    ASAP Rocky was just arrested as a suspect in a shooting. Poor Rih…too much stress on a pregnant woman.

  15. Molly says:

    Meh – I don’t love it or hate it on Julia, but no one has anything to say about Dan Stevens’ suit?

    • FHMom says:

      Yes! WTF is going on? That is not Dan Stevens. I keep zooming in on his face and I just don’t see it. If Julia is going for an 80’s look, then he is cosplaying the Beatles in India with the Maharishi circa 1968. I can’t stop laughing.

    • AnneL says:

      Oh, wow. Dan Stevens shows up in THAT and we’re talking about Julia Roberts’ outfit?! What.Is.That.

  16. Susan says:

    While Julia’s look isn’t my personal fave, I do have to say it is a great look for her. She’s one of those long thin legs for miles gals (yes I’m jealous) and it shows off her best assets body wise. Pre-Harry I saw Meghan wear a dressy short set and they looked great on her as well as she has great legs. Me? It highlights my short sausage legs LOL

  17. Lola says:

    I don’t mind the shorts suit – if one has the legs for it

    What was a travesty was the capri pants just under the knees suit. May that die many deaths as it looked good on no one

  18. Mia says:

    Just wondering if this site will be covering the Blac Chyna and Kardashian situation. Kris and her lot are finally being exposed for the annoying racists they are. This site’s take on it would be interesting because that family sure gets a lot of sympathy and understanding for the underhanded ways they behave towards black people.

    • Wiglet Watcher says:

      I’m not familiar with the latest chyna news, but it might be an issue of the source and if it’s for profit or self promotion. Both rob and BC are messy. She’s attacked them and they’ve blocked her out. For her to make any claims against them would be lost in all the many claims and leaks she’s sold over the years.
      Not saying the claims aren’t valid.
      I guess we’re also not supposed to bring up other topics outside the posts. I posted a rumor other big sites are carrying and it got deleted.

  19. Spicecake38 says:

    Also gotta say it’s Sean Penn who ruined Julia’s overall look.

  20. Emily810 says:

    People were super upset about Zellwinger in a fat suit but nothing about Penn.

  21. Bibi says:

    Granted it’s a bit dated but It looks nice on her.

  22. CTgirl says:

    John Corbett looks like Mike Mills from REM. Without the Mike Mills teeth.
