Julianne Moore's Lavender Lament: Why Her Wedding Dress Was a Mistake

JULIANNE MOORE SPILLS THE TEA ON HER 22-YEAR MARRIAGE AND WE'RE OBSESSED!

It's been two decades and two years since Julianne Moore tied the knot with her beloved husband, Bart Freundlich, but the actress is still basking in the glow of their whirlwind romance. In a sweet Instagram post, the Oscar-winning beauty marked 22 years of marital bliss with a rare photo from their big day – and we're getting all the feels!

The 64-year-old May December star (yes, that's the title of her latest film!) confessed to still being clueless about why she chose a lavender wedding dress back in 2003. "Happy anniversary baby," she wrote alongside the retro snap. "22 years later and I still don't know why the theme was purple [purple heart emoji]."

The photo, which showed Julianne beaming with joy as she held their daughter Liv (now 23) on her hip, has us reminiscing about our own wedding days – or perhaps we're just jealous of their fairytale romance! The accompanying image of Bart, holding their son Caleb's hand (now 27), only adds to the charm.

But Julianne didn't stop there. In a separate post earlier this month, she shared snapshots from her summer escapades, complete with a cheeky caption: "August." One photo that caught our eye showed the actress sans makeup, giving fans an intimate glimpse into her life behind the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

And if you thought that was enough, think again! Julianne also celebrated their family's furry member, Hope – their adorable lab mix adopted from Gimme Shelter Animal Rescue in 2020. The proud mom shared a heartwarming tribute to the pup's first birthday, complete with a slide dedicated to her beloved dog.

But what really got us talking was when she posted memories from a family trip just days before. "Italy with my besties," read the caption – and let's be real, who wouldn't want to jet off to Italy with their loved ones?!

Meanwhile, Julianne has been making waves in the entertainment industry, starring alongside Sydney Sweeney in the Apple TV thriller/drama, Echo Valley. According to a logline for the film, "Kate's secluded life is interrupted by her troubled daughter when she shows up frightened and covered in someone's blood." Sounds intense!

And if that wasn't enough, Julianne recently stunned in a photo spread featured in noisé magazine, described as "a nexus of art and fashion with a human touch." In an excerpt from the publication's latest issue, she shared her musings on the art of imagery: "I always assumed that because I'm an actor, my connection to the world was primarily through words, through language. But then I started to notice that everything I remembered, I recalled in frames, almost like stills from a film."

It seems Julianne Moore is not only giving us acting goals but also life lessons – and we're here for it!
