Julia Roberts sported a unique look paying homage to both William Shakespeare and After the Hunt director Luca Guadagnino.
Roberts, 57, wore a black Libertine Spring 2026 collection trench coat featuring a portrait of Shakespeare while out on the town in New York City on Wednesday, Oct. 1. She completed the look with a sweater dress featuring Guadagnino’s face, black tights, and black patent leather pointed-toed pumps. She accessorized with a black handbag, a pair of thick-frame sunglasses, and her signature auburn hair swept into an updo.
The Shakespeare trench coat was shown on the runway during the Libertine Spring 2026 New York Fashion Show in September, per WWD.
The actress was spotted in the unique look ahead of an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Roberts has sported numerous looks featuring the faces of the Oscar-nominated director and her After The Hunt costar Andrew Garfield throughout the upcoming film’s press tour.
The Oscar winner recently took another trip down memory lane of her iconic looks. In 1990, she made a major style statement at the Golden Globes in a menswear Armani suit. In the 35 years since she stunned the red carpet in the sharp ensemble, Roberts continues to give the suit a new lease on life.
In a Tuesday, Sept. 30 Extra interview with the After the Hunt cast, the actress revealed that she still has the outfit in her closet. Better yet, she said that her 18-year-old son Henry, whom she shares with husband Danny Moder, “had it on the other day.”
Seated next to Roberts was her costar Ayo Edebiri, who was pleasantly surprised that the iconic suit was still in Roberts’ closet.
“I’m going to bring it to work tomorrow, and I want you to put it on,” she told Edebiri, who replied, “Stop! Are you kidding me?”
In January, The Bear star, 29, channeled the iconic look with her own flair at the same awards ceremony. Styled by Danielle Goldberg, Edebiri wore a custom Loewe gray suit accessorized with a gold feather-like tie.
“I love to wear a dress, but I love to wear a suit. And I love those ’90s Armani suits. They’re just, like, the best,” Edebiri, 29, told Extra.
In her 2024 Life in Looks video for Vogue, Roberts said wearing the suit turned out to be one of her “all-time favorite outfits.”
