Julia Roberts is bringing a playful touch to her Venice Film Festival presence as she prepares for the world premiere of After the Hunt.
Roberts touched down in Italy on August 27 for the Venice Film Festival, where she is set to debut in Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt. To pay tribute to the director who helped bring her to Venice, the Oscar winner wore a cardigan covered in prints of Guadagnino himself. She kept the rest of her look low-key: canvas sneakers, a black shorts set, a CELINE Medium New Luggage Smile bag, and dark round sunglasses by LAPIMA.
After the Hunt is an Amazon MGM Studios production also starring Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield. The film follows a college professor grappling with a crossroads in her career and a personal life shaken when a student makes an accusation against a colleague, while a hidden chapter from her past begins to surface.
Roberts’ red-carpet appearances have been infrequent in recent years, making her Venice appearance especially anticipated. Earlier this year, she drew attention at the César Film Awards in February with a glam look styled by Elizabeth Stewart: a custom Phoebe Philo one-shoulder jumpsuit paired with Chopard jewelry, and voluminous auburn waves. She also wore a chic Stella McCartney suit to accept the Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters honor in France.
Away from the spotlight, Roberts has been enjoying family moments with husband Danny Moder and their three children. Earlier this month she celebrated son Phinnaeus’ 20th birthday on Instagram with a rare video of him skateboarding with Moder. The couple also share daughter Hazel, 20, and son Henry, 18.
A hopeful note: Roberts’ Venice appearance signals a continued re-emergence of a longtime film favorite onto major stages, suggesting exciting projects and memorable red-carpet moments ahead for this beloved star.
