Julia Roberts and her niece Emma Roberts made their first joint red carpet appearance in 13 years Tuesday at New York Fashion Week, arriving in coordinated all‑black outfits that emphasized their shared auburn hair.
The pair posed alongside designer Simon Porte Jacquemus, drawing attention for the contrast in their ensembles: Julia, 57, in sharply tailored suiting and Emma, 34, in a floor‑length chiffon column dress. The appearance reunited the aunt and niece on the red carpet for the first time since the 2012 premiere of Jesus Henry Christ.
Julia Roberts wore an oversized blazer and barrel‑leg trousers paired with a crisp white shirt and striped tie, completing the look with Jacquemus ankle boots. Observers noted the styling as a deliberate callback to the boxy Armani suit and tie she wore to the 1990 Golden Globes. The actress has frequently turned to suiting this year, including an appearance in Versace at the Venice Film Festival under the house’s new creative direction.
Emma Roberts offered a softer counterpoint in a spaghetti‑strap, draped‑back black chiffon gown, providing a feminine foil to her aunt’s more traditionally masculine tailoring. Emma’s hairstylist, Gonn Kinoshita, posted a closer look at the ensemble on Instagram following the event.
The outing also came as Julia Roberts continues promotional work for After the Hunt, the psychological thriller directed by Luca Guadagnino in which she stars alongside Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield. Roberts is additionally featured on the inaugural issue of 72 Magazine, a new title from Edward Enninful, which is scheduled to hit newsstands on Sept. 12.
Photographs from the event showed the two women smiling for cameras and engaging with Jacquemus before the evening’s activities. The pairing underscored a multigenerational presence at New York Fashion Week, where established film stars and fashion designers often converge for brand presentations and shows.
Their joint appearance drew attention not only for the family connection but for its stylistic echoes of Roberts’s longstanding relationship with menswear suiting and contemporary fashion houses. The two women left the event together, marking a high‑profile reunion that combined celebrity promotion and runway season visibility.
