Ever since her iconic role as Pretty Woman's Vivian, Julia Roberts has been solidified in our mind as a style icon. Though the 1990 movie has served as a treasure trove of '90s style inspiration, it's Julia Roberts's contemporary style that we feel even more strongly about. Ever since we spotted her in the skinny-jean outfit to end all skinny-jean outfits earlier in the year, we quickly realized she's a celebrity who hasn't gotten the round of applause she deserves for her A+ style—so we're out to fix that.
The actress, who's currently making the rounds on press junkets and film festivals to promote her upcoming Amazon series, Homecoming, has been serving red carpet look after look in some of the best suiting looks we've seen yet. Whether it's in bold red, soft lilac, or sleek black leather, her playful take on tailored suits and suiting separates has become something of a signature for Roberts. Not to be missed is her coordinating ensemble moment with her close friend and stylist Elizabeth Stewart. Red carpet aside, though, her personal Instagram is also becoming a major source of delightfully refreshing BTS style moments. (If you haven't already joined her 1.5 million followers, we suggest you get on that.) Roberts, we see you.
Ahead, get inspired by Julia Roberts's best style moments of the year and shop the pieces that emulate her next-level ensembles.
