Copper Locks and Celebrity Glamour: Julia Roberts and Emma Shine at Veuve Clicquot Event
The Tea Spills: Julia Roberts and Niece Emma Slay at Veuve Clicquot Soiree, But Drama Ensues with Italian Journalist
It's always a red carpet event when Julia Roberts steps out in style, but this time she was joined by her stunning lookalike niece Emma, who's been making waves with her new copper locks. The Hollywood A-lister and her American Horror Story star niece brought their A-game to the Veuve Clicquot x Simon Porte Jacquemus Central Park Boathouse Event in NYC on Tuesday.
Julia, 57, looked effortlessly chic in a tailored black suit featuring an oversized blazer and wide-leg trousers. She paired it with a crisp white shirt, striped tie, and sizzling patent lace-up boot stiletto heels that left us gagging. Her iconic copper locks were styled in loose waves, giving her an effortlessly cool vibe.
Meanwhile, Emma, 34, ditched her bright blonde hair for a stunning copper bob, which is eerily reminiscent of her aunt's signature look. The nepo-baby oozed sophistication in a black chiffon gown featuring a bandeau-style bodice with a sheer cut-out at her midriff. We can't get enough of Emma's new look – it's giving us serious "Julia Roberts, 1990s edition" vibes!
The two beauties were joined by a bevy of A-listers, including The White Lotus star Charlotte Le Bon, who donned a daring black sparkly sweater with a white tulle mini-skirt and stiletto flats. French fashion designer Simon Porte Jacquemus, the mastermind behind the Veuve Clicquot collaboration, was also in attendance.
But the real tea was spilled at another event earlier this week when Julia found herself embroiled in a heated controversy with an Italian journalist named Federica Polidoro from ArtsLife Tv. The interview turned ugly when Federica repeatedly ignored Ayo Edebiri, the only black star present, and focused on Julia and Andrew Garfield instead.
At one point, Julia politely asked Federica to repeat her question because she couldn't tell which of them she was talking to – a clever dig that left many in stitches. The clip went viral, with social media users blasting Federica for her discriminatory behavior.
"Why would you ask a man about the MeToo movement but purposefully exclude a woman?" one user raged on Reddit. "WHY would you ask Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield about BlackLivesMatter but exclude Ayo Edebiri????"
Andrew was praised for his classy body language, shifting his entire body to face Julia and Ayo when it became clear they were being ignored.
Ayo herself showed incredible poise and grace in the face of Federica's discriminatory behavior. "She knew she was being purposefully excluded, but didn't allow her voice to be silenced," one user gushed.
In a scathing response to the backlash, Federica claimed she had been subjected to "personal insults and attacks" online. She accused those who criticized her of engaging in "violent language, personal attacks, and cyberbullying."
We're not buying it, Federica – your actions speak louder than words, and we're still reeling from that cringeworthy interview.
As for Julia and Emma, they were all about spreading the love and good vibes at the Veuve Clicquot soiree. We can't get enough of these two – they're truly a dynamic duo!
In related news, it appears Julia has been taking some acting tips from her niece, who recently debuted her copper locks in February. Emma hired the "best" hairstylists to create the look, which was inspired by Julia's iconic 1990s style.
Nikki Lee, one of the stylists behind Emma's new look, gushed about the experience: "We love this look on Emma – it's giving a very modern take on Julia Roberts' hair in the nineties." We can't argue with that!
Julia has always been known for her close relationships with designers like Simon Porte Jacquemus. In fact, she's often seen jetting around the world to attend his shows.
The Veuve Clicquot event was a testament to Julia and Emma's impeccable style – they truly are fashion icons in their own right!
