Julia Roberts wears a boxy mess at the ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ premiere

eat_pray_love_premiere_7_06_wenn2957568

Last night was the big New York premiere of Eat, Pray, Love, and most of the film’s stars came out. Missing in action were James Franco, who plays Julia’s boyfriend at the beginning of the film (I think), and executive producer Brad Pitt (who Julia is “beholden” to, yet didn’t show up). What is Julia wearing for her big premiere, one of the biggest nights in this film’s publicity tour? Um… I’m not sure. It looks like some kind of satiny straightjacket, only I think a straightjacket would probably compliment her figure more than this boxy mess. I guess Julia thought if she was showing off her legs, she should cover everything else up? Eh. Her hair and makeup look good, though, I’ll give her that.

Despite the lack of Franco, there was some man-candy last night, most notably my lover Javi. You might know him as Javier Bardem. He looked awesome! Okay, he looked a little tired, but still, very lovely.

And here’s Billy Crudup – I think he plays the ex-husband, maybe? He’s not my type, but he looked pretty good.

Now, I think a lot of Josh Brolin’s hotness, I really do. I realize he might be an abusive, arrogant son of a bitch (allegedly), but just on looks, he’s really my type. I think he’s sexy as hell. But this haircut is not working for me in the least. I’m actually not sure why he’s there. Maybe to support his No Country For Old Men costar Javi? Diane Lane isn’t there – Josh brought a very young woman as his date. I’m kind of thinking she’s his daughter, though.

All in all, maybe not the best premiere? Still, it’s good to see Julia f-ck up a red carpet again. I’ve missed it!

    Julia is posing funny but I think its sooo hawt she wore shorts to her premiere. Julia’s legs look amazing. If Julia had really worked the outfit she would have sold it. However I love the shoes, love the Diane von Furstenberg shorts and OMG she paired it with a Stella McCartney blazer. So hawt. The movie also looks really really really good and I am gonna have to go see it.

  2. lucy2 says:

    Bad choice for a red carpet. Why do some stars insist on wearing heavy looking clothing like that jacket…in the summer? It was 90 degrees here in the Northeast yesterday.

    I finally broke down and started reading the book, just out of curiosity – ugh. I really dislike it, probably won’t finish. The idea and the writing are OK, but it’s just far too self absorbed for me to enjoy, and there’s so little about the actual places themselves. I’m thinking that this might be the rare case where a movie is better than the book, because at least with the movie you’ll see the places in the background and getter a better sense of them.

  3. Katalina says:

    I think that’s definitely his daughter. She looks a lot like her mother!

  4. Kitten says:

    Eh, maybe she was just having a night where she didn’t feel like wearing a skin-tight dress. I don’t think it looks bad. Where is my Franco? Isn’t he in this movie?? Josh Brolin looks like a creepy truck driver.

    *Iknowheisadoucheforleavinghispregnantwifebut*

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW! BILLY CRUDUP!
    I love this man, his voice, his face…

  6. ch says:

    who said josh brolin is abusive… that´s interesting
    as for the photos, everybody looks good and their age, wich i like so much
    maybe Julia a little botoxy, but she wrinkles when she smiles, so maybe not
    i think Julia has a hair problem on her moustache, though
    the first time i realized that, was on oceans eleven
    maybe its a shadow, or something
    she´s not perfect!

  7. bnice says:

    Josh’s hair looks like a bad wig, here.

    I’m not loving Julia’s outfit, but I’m not a fan of the hotpants/business suit combo in general. They did a great job airbrushing her face/neck/legs, but they should have added some more color to her hands–they don’t match!

    I think that’s my quota of cattiness for the day, but I can’t promise anything…

    😉

  8. jc126 says:

    The book just sounded so pretentious, I couldn’t read it, and the movie looks the same. The presence of James Franco in the movie is ALMOST enough to make me go, but if he didn’t even go to the premiere, it must be a very brief role.
    And for some reason I just can’t stand Julia Roberts.

  9. ch says:

    wait a minute
    dont want to sound naive
    but do they photoshop these premiere photos too?

  10. snowball says:

    I know it’s a *thing* that stylists like to dress celebrities in certain dark colors because of the way it makes them look, but it’s my major, major pet peeve to see the women wearing black and jackets all the time in the dead of summer.

    You never see anyone in light dresses or just cute skirts, because it “dates” the premiere I suppose, but it just bugs me. Really. Black shorts with a stifling black coat? C’mon.

  11. Dorothy says:

    One more reason not to watch this movie – Billy Crudup! I HATE him..

  12. meme says:

    julia looks possessed in a couple of these pics and why is josh brolin wearing a wig?

  13. lisa says:

    I think it would have worked better if the jacket had been more fitted..

    OMG.. that close up of Brolin looks aweful. He needs to cut that hair and dye it a shade lighter or something..

    NOT looking good at all.

    My Mom read the book and wants me to see it with her. I will.. I have dragged her to my favorites so fair is fair. Not my kind of movie. I deplore self help books and don’t like these sappy feel good movies either.. but on most days I like Julia so I will be seeing this sometime this weekend and next weekend I will be seeing The Kids are Alright (an adult movie on Artificial Insemination that looks interesting and NEW.

  14. julie says:

    if i had legs like that i would wear shorts like that!

  15. meme says:

    who hit billy crudup with the pasty fug stick? he used to be cute (a prick, but a cute prick)

  16. Marjalane says:

    Josh Brolin is gross. He looks like all kinds of pervy, parolee wife beaters.

    But then again, he kind of is, isn’t he?

  17. Strawberry says:

    To ch: It’s been alleged that Josh Brolin and Diane Lane had a couple of domestic violence incidents, but she wouldn’t press charges/police had to drop it when she wouldn’t go ahead.

    I actually loved the book, but I was coming out of a bad relationship and really buy into all the tree-hugging, universe swallowing New Age hocus pocus the author described (at the time I was a big Yoga fanatic). That said, I heard her second book about commitment and marriage was better.

    Don’t worry Kaiser, I love hairy European men too, lol!

  19. hellen says:

    Wait, is she wearing….evening shorts?! Well, she’s got good legs, I’ll give her that. But she needs to stop with that hair-mess, it just makes me want to get the scissors and give her a good blunt cut.

    Javier looks pleasantly stoned. Crudup is losing his boyish looks, fast. And Brolin looks like GLEN CAMPBELL! (Geez, too early for good spelling…)

  20. veronica says:

    what happened to billy crudup?! is he dying?

  21. Cam says:

    Javier looks so cute! And Julia’s shoes are amazing, that’s the only thing im going to say about her outfit.

  22. Molly says:

    I can’t wait to see this movie! I’m always afraid that leisure-class white women don’t enjoy their privilege enough. Any movie that dares bring this pressing issue to the table will have me in a movie seat, no problem!

  23. Raven says:

    Billy Crudup looks just horrible. He can look really good but he’s missed it this time. I’m not that critical of Julia although her outfit would be more appropriate at a business meeting. Javier looks gorgeous as usual, but tired, I agree. Actually it’s really hard to get him to look anything less than gorgeous.

  24. shorty40 says:

    Well, I personally think she looks great. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a little more modest; especially in these days where females are tending to let their boobs flop out and doing hootchie kootchie shots. I think Julia looked very classy! :0)

  25. bnice says:

    Molly…That. Was. Awesome.

  26. georgiagrl says:

    She marches to her own drum and looks great, and I don’t consider myself a huge fan of hers.

  27. cat says:

    I can’t say much for Julia’s outfit except she has nice legs and her face for once looks good. They should not zoom in on Josh’s face and I hope his haircut is for a movie. And what can I say about my fav Javi the man can rock a suit and blue suede shoes.

  28. Lisa says:

    Looks like something out of the J.Crew catalog’s “workshop” section, not something you wear to a movie premiere.

  29. mamalama says:

    @lucy 2 – thank God there’s someone else who couldn’t finish this book – me, either. It’s only the second gook in my life I’ve started and didn’t finish – and I read all the time. Just couldn’t handle her attitude.

  30. Toe says:

    If you see the pics of Julia, she is always trying to keep the jacket closed, even standing next to the guy thingy (LOL). Maybe….just maybe she is prego? she looks like hiding…something.

  31. meme says:

    @molly ROTFLMAO – you couldn’t pay me to see this crap or read the book.

  32. original kate says:

    if diane lane or patricia clarkson had gotten the role (as rumoured) i might have overcome my dislike for the crappy book and seen the movie anyway. but with the horselaughing pretty woman in the lead? um, no.

  33. Heaven-bound says:

    Josh Brolin looks like a child molester in that pic!

    creepy *gets shivers down my spine*

  34. Amanda says:

    That is pretty much the uniform Julia wore on her recent publicity tour for the book. For some reason I seem to have been watching TV when she has been on most of the daytime news shows recently (Goodmorning America- ummm I think 3 days this week) and I saw her on Letterman and she has worn a BLAZER + something tight on the bottom every appearance. Here she changed it up a bit and put on some shorts. But, I swear, the blazer is like her uniform these days. She is probably a little overweight in the mid section and needs to hide it.

  35. Kim says:

    Julia was drinking wine in Napa doing press for movie. I saw her drinking w/ that guy Jerry from Extra.

  36. fyn says:

    Never liked Julia, but have always wondered why with all the money she has and the American desire for plastic surgery and looking perfect why she doesn’t get that horrible HUGE mouth reduced. HAhahahahaha, I’m glad I don’t look like these Hollywood carbon copies, but happy that she’s happy with herself, I’d say she looks like a horse, but I like horses.

  37. serena says:

    I love her shoes!
    But hell, it’s a premiere Julia..wear a sparkly dress or a COLOURFUL one (always black or beige.. urgh). She has a wonderful figure, slim yet healty and all but that is all secretary-like for me.

  38. kim says:

    I do like the outfit she is wearing but its very heavy for summer. I think a Sari type dress or something with more color would go with this movie better.

  39. Des says:

    What died on Josh Brolin’s head?

  40. Bobby the K says:

    Looks like she’s working gold handcuffs and a rosary.

    I wonder what people like her would be like to hang out with.

    She seems kind of peppy, but I wouldn’t want her staring at me for any length of time.

  41. Aqua says:

    I think celebs. wear a lot of black because they are told it’s the go to thing to wear, you can’t go wrong with black. Look what happens to them when they are on the red carpet,they get slammed by every designer or tabloid T.V. show if they wear something different.But I agree some color and something more suited to the season and weather would be nice to see.
    Aren’t the big shoulder pads coming back in style?

  42. Jeri says:

    Maybe it’s just the way Josh’s hair is not combed, windblown or something. Some days are bad hair days for men too.

  43. lrm says:

    The kids are Alright was AWFUL.
    A TOTAL freakin’ whine fest!
    uugh.
    I cannot believe it got such high ratings.
    Mark Ruffalo is great as always-and Anette Benning and Julianne Moore are powerful presences-but totally overacted their role a ‘lesbian parents’-IMO. uugh. so annoying.

    And, yes, all families argue and have dysfunctions, but this was just constant quips and jabs and over the top emotional drama set against a backdrop of ‘everyday life’ in upper class LA/bougeousieville.
    -like it was trying to be a modern versin of Leave it to Beaver’.

    I m ean, who really judges someone who owns an artsy organic restaurants, just b/c it’s not intellectual’? In LA?
    PULEEZ. The Dr. [benning] would probably be trading services for free meals at that joint, or would be a regular customer.

    MAYBE in NYC or east coast you still find this atittude [when benning says to ruffalo ‘so, have you always wanted to be in the ‘food industry’..eye roll].

    If anything, the movie shows something that’s hardly shocking: All types of families can argue, be chaotic and even have a*shole adults. I left before it ended-i just couldnt’ take it anymore.

    Don’t waste your money!!!!
    These indie films have become so vain and self-absorpbed. It sucks b/c i’ve been watching foreign and independent films for over 20 yrs-now hollywood is taking them over and of course killing them. Thinking they have to hit us over the head with what they say. uugh. double uugh.

  44. ch says:

    thanks strawbery
    its too sad for both of them

  45. TeeTee says:

    Javier, looks good, I LOVE his acting and his look!!!

    Josh totally disappointed, his dad looks better, smdh.

    Julia, meh, sameolesameole–no color in her outfit

  46. BethL says:

    I don’t have a problem with the outfit except I wish she wore a blouse with color. I hate layers in just one color. Considering he’s filming across the country, not shocking Brad isn’t there. He’s just the producer and not in the movie. I don’t know why but I hate James Franco.

  47. Crash2GO2 says:

    I think her figure is a little boxy these days, so best to play up her still fabulous legs.

  48. Kate says:

    Ugh, so over this bitch.

    Why can’t she just retire and spare us her second-rate acting and bullshit fake as hell personality?
