Her bright blonde hair was worn in loose beachy waves and she wore pale pink lipstick along with a slick cat eye along her lids.

Julia has carved a hugely successful career over the years, having starred in the likes of My Best Friend’s Wedding, Erin Brockovich and Ocean’s Eleven, and was just 21 years of age when she first shot to fame.
She admitted: ‘I was my priority, a selfish little brat running around making films.’
However, the beauty went on to admit she has completely changed, ever since she met her cinematographer love Danny, 48, and welcoming their three children – twins Hazel and Finn, 13, and son Henry, ten.
She gushed of her partner: ‘It was meeting Danny…finding my person. When I think about what makes my life my life, and makes sense and just shine inside of me, it’s him. Everything has come from that for me.’

Roberts recently saw her stellar career celebrated on The Late Late Show, as host James Corden and the beauty re-created a number of her famous moments onscreen, as part of the show’s Role Call skit from Notting Hill, to Runway Bride, Mona Lisa Smile and that Pretty Woman scene where Vivian calls out a shop attendant for refusing to wait on her.
Other films referenced included Sleeping With The Enemy, My Best Friend’s Wedding and her new release Wonder set to hit the big screen in November.
Ahead of the sketch, Corden had teased: ‘It will be a celebration of the film career of the one, the only, Julia Roberts,’ before turning to Julia and saying: ‘Are you ready to do this?’
She replied: ‘As ready as I’m going to get!’
