George Clooney Reacts to Julia Roberts’ Bold Dress Featuring His Face
|When we want to show appreciation to our friends, we typically write them a heartfelt note or share a small token of gratitude. Julia Roberts, however, redefined the concept of support in the most stylish way imaginable.
Earlier this month, during the Kennedy Center Honors, Roberts took her seat behind her Ticket to Paradise co-star and Hollywood legend, George Clooney, who was one of the evening’s distinguished honorees.
In a show-stopping gesture, Roberts donned a stunning custom gown adorned with photos of Clooney—a heartfelt tribute that caught everyone’s attention, including the honoree himself.
When Roberts appeared on stage, Clooney was visibly moved, reportedly exclaiming, “Wow!” The gown, designed by Moschino’s Jeremy Scott and styled by the renowned Elizabeth Stewart, featured a collage of Clooney’s most iconic moments, framed in elegant gold. Images from his red carpet appearances, his time on the hit series ER, and other significant public moments made the dress a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Roberts added a playful touch to her tribute, joking on stage, “What’s this, you ask? Just a little something to celebrate the amazing Gladys Knight!” Her humor kept the evening lighthearted, even as her ensemble spoke volumes about her admiration for Clooney.
To complete the look, Roberts paired the gown with a sleek black cropped jacket and Chopard jewelry, ensuring the dress remained the centerpiece. The creative process behind the gown was celebrated on social media, with hairstylist Serge Normant sharing an image captioned with the cheeky hashtag “#juliaframedgeorge.”
Roberts also took to Instagram to express her gratitude for the design, writing, “My gown has its favorites! @jeremyscott, @elizabethstewart1, and @moschino, you’ve made my dream dress a reality!” She concluded with a heartfelt note to Clooney: “George, it brings me so much joy to see you honored by the @kennedycenter.”
In this case, the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” couldn’t be more fitting. Each image on Roberts’ dress was a testament to her admiration and the enduring friendship between these two Hollywood icons.
