Fashion Icon vs. Hollywood Star: Stella McCartney's Waiting Game at Luxury Clinic
Julia Roberts' Beauty Blunder: Superstar Left Fuming After Being Kept Waiting by Designer Stella McCartney
In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood A-lister Julia Roberts was caught red-handed trying to slip out of a luxury celebrity clinic in Notting Hill, London, after her appointment ran over. The Pretty Woman star, 57, had been booked for a high-end beauty treatment at the esteemed Keren Bartov's clinic, but things didn't quite go as planned.
According to eyewitnesses, Roberts was seen waiting in the reception area of the clinic, dressed incognito in a camel-colored sweater and ballet flats. But it wasn't just her understated attire that raised eyebrows - it was also her visibly growing frustration as she waited for what seemed like an eternity.
As the minutes ticked by, Roberts' irritation became increasingly evident, with onlookers claiming she looked "fuming" and "exasperated". The usually composed actress was overheard asking the receptionist about the delay, but it seems her queries fell on deaf ears. Eventually, after a nearly half-hour wait, Roberts emerged from the clinic, her beauty treatment still unfinished.
But in a surprising twist, sources close to the clinic revealed that the cause of the delay wasn't due to any fault of Roberts' - but rather because she had been kept waiting by none other than fashion designer Stella McCartney, 54. Yes, you read that right! The luxury brand's creative director was said to have been running late for her own appointment, leaving Roberts and others in the waiting room to simmer with impatience.
Despite the mishap, Roberts still managed to make a stylish exit from the clinic, where she had been treated by celebrity skin care expert Keren Bartov. The "tech wizard of skin" has built a reputation for providing bespoke treatments that promise to improve aging and sagging skin, reduce acne and rosacea, and stimulate collagen production.
But it seems Roberts' treatment wasn't just about vanity - the actress is gearing up for a high-profile appearance on Graham Norton's sofa, where she will be promoting her latest film, After The Hunt. In the movie, Roberts plays a professor who finds herself torn between loyalty to her institution and the pursuit of justice in the face of a rape accusation.
Roberts' Hollywood credentials are, of course, no secret - but it seems even A-listers aren't immune to the indignities of waiting rooms and delayed appointments. As she basks in the glow of her recent BBC appearance on The Graham Norton Show (where she was joined by Colin Farrell, Benedict Cumberbatch, Gloria Estefan, and Robbie Williams), Roberts must have felt a mix of relief and embarrassment at being kept waiting by the inimitable Stella McCartney.
The incident has left many wondering - can even the most high-maintenance celebrities not get their beauty treatments on time? And what exactly was the cause of McCartney's delay? Only one thing is certain: when it comes to red-carpet arrivals, Roberts is a pro at staying calm under pressure. But being kept waiting by a fellow celebrity is an entirely different story - and one that will undoubtedly leave her with a lasting sense of frustration.
As for Keren Bartov, the "tech wizard of skin" who treated Roberts, she's built a reputation for pushing the boundaries of beauty treatments. With her bespoke services said to be in high demand among A-listers and fashionistas alike, it seems even the most discerning celebrities are clamoring for her expertise.
But will this minor hiccup affect Roberts' confidence on camera? Sources close to the actress insist she's unfazed by the delay - but we can't help but wonder if a delayed beauty treatment might have left its mark on the usually polished star. After all, in Hollywood, timing is everything - and being kept waiting by a fellow celebrity is not exactly what you'd call a red-carpet moment to remember.
