I keep thinking that this George Clooney-Julia Roberts movie is called Ticket to Ride, but no, it’s Ticket to Paradise. Should it have been called Ticket to Ride, and maybe they could have licensed the Beatles’ song? Hm. Anyway, after promoting this film for more than a month, the cast came together last night for the big Hollywood premiere. Julia Roberts did something new for this promotional tour: she wore a girly dress. She’s been doing tons of menswear-inspired looks for her appearances, and she’s stayed very covered-up in almost boxy, shapeless looks. Now here she is in the Barbiecore trend, wearing a Greta Constantine gown. While I love seeing Julia try the Barbie-pink trend, this dress is bad! The taffeta, the sleeves, the stupid ruffled skirt. It’s too “prom dress” for 54-year-old Julia. I also think it’s sort of interesting that Julia’s husband Danny Moder hasn’t come out for ANY of the premieres. They generally don’t do red carpets together, but still. PS… Julia’s earrings are Chopard and they are SPECTACULAR.
Meanwhile, Amal Clooney wore a gorgeous Alexander McQueen dress for the LA premiere. She’s strung together several great fashion moments in a row over the past month. I have no idea if she has a stylist or anyone helping her at this point, but there’s been a real improvement. (I hate her shoes though.)
Kaitlyn Dever – who plays Clooney and Roberts’ daughter in the movie – wore Miu Miu. This is cute and age-appropriate and flattering? I wish it was a different color, but it’s fine.
Bonus knocked-up Billie Lourd!

Ticket to Paradise came out in Europe already, so I’ve seen and it’s super cute. Exactly as expected, no plot twists or anything fancy, but it was really fun to watch. George and Julia have great chemistry. I recommend it if you love a funny rom com.
Julia’s dress is awful imo, but she looks like she’s having a great time so it makes it far less of a travesty. Love the colour on her with those earrings and her hair though! She’s so beautiful.
Love the Miu Miu too, they’ve been putting out some really great (and v wearable) clothes. I feel like they’re taking Chanel’s spot with beautiful/classy outfits, Chanel has just fallen off a cliff.
A hideous 80s prom dress for sure! The color is the best thing about it. I like the neckline though especially in contrast to whatever that black dress/ ugly button down shirt look was. Julia’s hair looks better like this. If you are anywhere near my age, it’s impossible not to hear Eddie Money’s Two Tickets to Paradise when you see anything about this movie. I like the notion of Ticket to Ride much better!
🙂 For me, it’s a toss up, but right now I’ve got Eddie Money’s song running through my head!
All I hear is Eddie Money thru my head as soon as I see any promotion for this!
@ BeanieBean, We saw Two Tickets to Paradise, a biographical play written Eddie the summer before he died. A young friend was a stage manager or I don’t know that we would have heard about it. It was his story woven into the music and we really enjoyed it! Some rough drug overdose events for sure. It was honest and sweet. At the end Eddie came out and did a medley of his songs and played his sax. 💗🎶💔
Julia makes that dress work, ruffles and all. She looks radiant. George, on the other hand, looks pinched and pained in these pictures. Back playing up again?
I liked it. So great to see Julia in a gown. She’s our comfort queen, so I always take that into account when judging her outfits.
I love the dress and color on Julia.
Not a fan of all the “age appropriate” criticisms I’ve been seeing about fashion on this site. It seems younger actors get called out for looking matronly if they’re covered up and mature actors get called out for ruffles? Yikes, let’s stop with this line of thought.
My take on the age-appropriate comment when used on this site, as far as the younger actors goes, is that we see far too often younger women sexualized far too early in their lives.
That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about young actors discussed on this site who have their outfits described as “matronly” because they’re covered up.
That dress reminds me of something Katie Keen would wear, less the plunging neckline. Although I do admit, she’s never worn any earrings nearly as fabulous as those Chopard earrings. Wowzers!
It looks way cheap but the color works for her and compliments the earrings and she is clearly having fun in it.
I hate the style of the dress but actually love the color on her, and those earrings are to die for. Her hair and makeup is perfect with the statement earrings and the color of the dress, so despite hating the actual dress, overall I weirdly think the look is a win?
Amal looks great too, I do think she might have gotten a new stylist or something.
I want to see this, it looks cute and fun and we need more movies like that lol, but I won’t see it in the theater, it will be streaming.
I agree with all this. The dress isnt terrific, but she looks lovely. The color is great on her. Amal is stunning as usual. George is too grey colored to be wearing that color suit. Black would have been better or maybe a charcoal grey.
Amal is stunning but those shoes make her look like she has bunions. Otherwise she glows.
I don’t hate it. The dress fits her perfectly and she looks good in this hard-to-pull-off color. The toned-down styling was a good choice, it works on her with her presence and her smile.
I love all the looks here! I get really bored with the same old same old looks from people. I definitely would not have predicted that dress on Julia. I love when people take risks.
I actually don’t hate the dress. It’s kind of fun to see Julia wearing a really vibrant color for a change. She looks really pretty. Whenever she’s with Clooney, she especially glows. I still believe she has the hots for him, even though she plays their relationship off as just buddies.
I think in pretty much any other colour I would dislike this dress (and objectively I dislike most of the components) but I love the crazy pink and she looks like she’s having a blast which is also selling it to me. More silly fun fashion please.
I like the dress but then again, I live in the south. We like pink here. A lot.
Exactly! I’m in the south and would wear that in a minute.
This movie has been out in Australia for awhile. Whenever I hear the title I always get the song “I’ve got two tickets to paradise..” stuck in my head.
I love Julia’s dress! But I love a deep v. I feel like I probably wouldnt like it on me though
Meh, I like the dress.
I’ll take George over any of them, lol. I like the Miu Miu dress the best. Julia’s is a shapeless pink mess, but at least its not black.
It appears Amal has a serious hammer-toe situation going on. Looks painful—poor her.
Amal’s make up is always spot on! Glamorous lawyer.
Kaiser: are you forgetting the Eddie Money song, Two Tickets to Paradise? Might have been cheaper to license than a Beatles song…. 😉
How about, “Two tickets to paradise?”
I’m 52 and have a similar dress to that style in black, and I looove it. Julia looks great!
I love the dress. 🤷♀️
I love the pink dress it’s fun. I’ve been less and less a Julia Robert’s fan over the years though I love her work. I just hated how she got her husband. And I hate her beating laugh. I love George and Amal always looks perfect.
I love the dress and the color. Julia had to go all out not to be eclipsed by Amal and Amal probably read about how she stole the show last time so it feels to me like she toned it down.
I hate the sleeves on Julia’s dress — the finishing looks subpar. But I love the color on her. Agree completely about Amal’s shoes — they’re terrible.
I think the best outfits are the ones that makes you FEEL good because that GLOW SHOWS ✨️ …I haven’t seen Julia look this good…IN YEARS❤️
Julia looks like she’s had recent fillers/Botox that have settled in and her face game is great. I am a slave to hot pink, but Amal looks exquisite, as she usually does (okay, always does).
I love Julia’s dress, but maybe because it looks exactly like my Laura Ashley 1982 prom dress! A sentimental favorite. 🙂
I think the dress makes her look frumpy.
