First, we would like to welcome Julia Roberts’ legs back into the limelight. They have been missed, and we were happy to see her in a red Dolce & Gabbana dress at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Julia Roberts, long celebrated for her charisma and acting skills, has traditionally opted for conservative red carpet attire, frequently donning black evening gowns and pantsuits.

However, she took the fashion world by surprise with a bold departure from her usual style. At the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival premiere of ‘August: Osage County,’ Roberts stunned onlookers by arriving in a vibrant red Dolce & Gabbana mini dress, a striking contrast to her typically “safe” fashion choices.

She showed off her incredible legs in the lace mini, paired with gold earrings, strappy nude Gucci pumps, and a slight blush clutch.

We love her loose chignon, too. It gives her outfit a modern yet retro vibe. Of course, Julia’s best accessory is still her million-watt smile.

Just two months earlier, Selena Gomez also wore a jewel-embroidered lace dress from Dolce & Gabbana at the 2013 ESPY Awards.
