How to Get Julia Roberts' Style

"Pretty Woman" put Julia Roberts on Hollywood's A-list. The Academy Award winning actress and former model is one of Tinsletown's highest paid and most admired stars. From her laid back daily wardrobe to her glamorous red carpet couture collection, Roberts is truly a fashion icon. To get Julia Roberts' style, you must have an appreciation for high fashion and personal expression.

Instructions

1. Go glam. Roberts accepted her Oscar for "Erin Brokovich" in a black and white vintage Valentino dress, and lit up the red carpet in a silk, bronze Giorgi Armani gown at the 76th Annual Academy Awards. The actress chooses classic designs with slimming silhouettes that accentuate her tall, lean physique.

2. Buy black. With the exception of her metallic Giorgio Armani Oscars number, Roberts' couture color of choice is black. Never boring, Roberts' dark fashions include suits, short dresses and evening gowns in various materials, ranging from crepe to velvet.

3. Forego the bling. Even when wearing museum quality jewels, like those supplied to her by Van Cleef and Arpels, Roberts prefers the understated to the extravagant. A simple set of dangling earrings and coordinating bracelet are enough for this A-lister.

4. Buy comfortable footwear. Always dressed to the nines on the red carpet, Roberts favors a laid back look in her everyday life. The paparazzi often catch the down to earth actress in sheepskin Ugg boots or Dansko clogs.

5. Sport cool mommy gear. Roberts wore her son, Henry, in a red floral ring sling or a Belle Baby Carrier and toted baby necessities in her Haiku To-Go bag. The actress pushed her twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus, in a scarlet, all terrain Valco Trimode Twin double stroller.

6. Take it easy. When out of the media spotlight, Roberts sports casual, practical styles. Simple t-shirts, jeans and loose fitting dresses are staples of the star's everyday wardrobe. For their vintage look and comfy fit, Antik Denim is one of the star's favorite jean brands.

7. Accessorize like a pro. Julia adds fun accents to her outfits, like scarves, sunglasses and purses. Among her favorite accoutrements are Ray Ban aviator sunglasses and Kooba handbags.

Tips & Warnings

• Roberts knits many of her own scarves and some of her kids' clothes. On occasion, pictures also show the actress in homemade t-shirts.
