George Clooney and Julia Roberts have a long history together. They’ve starred in several films together for more than two decades now, first appearing as husband and wife in the 2001 heist movie Ocean’s Eleven.
Twenty-one years later, the iconic duo is back on the big screen as a divorced couple in the romantic-comedy Ticket to Paradise.

Roberts, meanwhile, went the quirky route in a sport-meets-tailoring ensemble custom-made by Adidas x Gucci.
She wore a beige co-ord, composed of a collarless, double-breasted suit jacket with black faux fur cuffs and matching wide-leg pants with the iconic Adidas three-stripe design.
Underneath, the Mona Lisa Smile actress wore a white shirt with a black tie, finished with a pair of pointy black pumps.

The rich actress kept the rest of her look simple by skipping any ornate jewelry and wearing just a pair of Ray-Ban aviators.
Her long, auburn tresses were parted in the middle and worn down in waves, while her makeup was kept in a neutral palette to let her natural beauty shine.

Following the interview, Julia traded her sporty-chic beige co-ord for a navy blazer romper by Thom Browne. It’s a combination of a blazer-style top and knee-length shorts, complete with lapels and red, white, and blue striped lining.
Adding some style to the look, the Mystic Pizza star wore a long gold pendant necklace and a pair of gold drop earrings.

Completing the androgynous-chic ensemble was a pair of brogue pumps by Thom Browne.
These $990 shoes are made of black pebbled grain leather and feature a lace-up closure, pointed toes, perforations, curved heels, and the American fashion designer’s signature grosgrain loop tab.
Wearing gold-framed Ray-Ban aviators, Roberts styled her natural red locks in voluminous waves and painted her lips nude.

Why George Clooney and Julia Roberts Never Dated?
While George Clooney and Julia Roberts share undeniable chemistry on-screen, the stars admitted that their decades of friendship never turned romantic.
In an interview with Access Hollywood on Wednesday, the two were asked if they “ever have a no-dating policy” given their years of friendship. Roberts replied, “I don’t think we needed to state it.”
Clooney explained, “Julia was always in a relationship, or I was in a relationship. And we were fast friends right away and so it was nothing, it’s been nothing but fun for us so, I don’t think that was ever really a thing.”

When asked about their first impressions of each other, George said Roberts “made me laugh,” and Julia said Clooney was “gentle.”
Regarding the quality they admire most of one another, Roberts said it’s George’s fortitude and George mentioned Julia’s kindness.
Julia has been married to cinematographer Daniel Moder since 2002 and shares three kids with him, while George wed his second wife, Amal Clooney, in 2014.
