These are photos of Julia Roberts accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain. God, are we already there? Julia is already receiving “lifetime” achievement awards? I would say, “only in Hollywood would a woman in her 40s be considered old enough for a lifetime achievement” but this isn’t even Hollywood. The award was presented to her by the man she loves to cling to like she’s a toddler unable to stand up straight, Javier Bardem. During her speech, Julia said, “What a fortunate woman I’ve been in my life for a variety of reasons. If we were having dinner, I’d tell you all of them. But now, I’ll just say thank you from the bottom of my heart. And thank you to San Sebastian, which is the most enthusiastic town.”
As for her dress… well, I think I hate it as much as the muumuu/leggings/hideous belt combo the other day. This dress offends me in its cut, it offends me in the horrible way it fits Julia, and it offends me because it looks cheap and THAT’S SO TACKY. If you want a tea-length dress, get a tea-length dress. If you want to wear a proper gown, get a proper gown. Don’t wear a dress that looks like a junior’s gown that you outgrew over the summer after your growth spurt. Beyond that, it just looks like a muumuu that she tried to make into a proper dress by wearing another f-cking belt. I want to shake her and yell at her: “You are not a belt person!!”
Also, she’s still trying to cover her stomach. Eh. Her hair is meh, the shoes suck, the color of the dress is nice, I guess, and her makeup is pretty good. That’s all I’ve got. Does anyone get the sense that Julia needs to “grow up” style-wise? This hippie muumuu junk is an immature phase, perhaps.

Actually I disagree with you on many levels.
Julia is loved by millions..you are in the minority.
Oh and btw I’d love to see a picture taken of you everytime you go out.
I have a feeling I’d be less than impressed.
I don’t really hate the dress so much as I find it boring. If she wore her hair up and had something to make the dress interesting…a bold necklace or pin maybe? It might have worked, or at least have been better. Oh, and the shoes have got to go. They don’t go with that dress AT ALL.
Fug. Fugly woman with fugly clothes. Fugly all the time.
@ Julia
I must me one of the “minority”, can’t stand this woman. Her smile is so forced and fake. And if people think that Goopy is obnoxious… well I think this horse face is far worse.
I think Kaiser and I will happily be in the minority on this one. I don’t like her either.
I don´t like her at all. I think we are a HUGE minority XDD
She is not cute anymore. She looks like a crone.
Thanks, bitches! The dress is just fug, and she needs a new stylist or something.
@ Debra… Julia, is that you?
Just hire a stylist and be done with it… then we’ll all move on…
Loved by millions? You sound a little like LeAnn here Jules. You are no longer America’s Sweetheart. Homewreckers don’t make that grade. Oh and the box office performance for your current flick should be an indication of your waning star status…
That dress looks like a fugly death shroud-it’s as depressing as Julia’s career and could serve as a symbol for her decline in popularity.
The ‘lifetime’ achievement award could just be a hint that everyone considers her acting career to be ‘past it’. Not because of her age, but just because of her lack of current relevance or use of talent.
While certain celebrities use thier fame to advance important social causes/human rights issues (think Lady GaGa, Brangelina, Matt Damon, et al), what the hell does Julia actually do besides whine, wear fugly clothes and bore everyone with her inane ‘Me’ generation hippie drivel?
I’m not a fan of the dress, but wow she looks beautiful. Her make-up and hair is perfect!!!
(And Javier Bardem is a monster. ew.)
Yup, I am agreeing with all the Bitches on this one. Nothing special — I watched her acting throughout the years and I cannot understand why she was so glorified as such a talented actress in the media? Her personal life is her own and I am believer in Karma Police. I give her two thumbs down.
I think the dress is elegant. It is definitely what they are currently wearing on the run ways in both Paris and New York. We have seen Angelina Jolie wearing similar styles of elegant, flowing sack dresses. It is a trend with many celebrities right now. Her new movie is heart-warming, intelligent and well acted, Javier Bardem stole my heart and the cinematography was beautiful. It really was a film about being comfortable with who you are, including being comfortable with your body and the person you are with.
je.sus. and what in the name of divinity is happening to the hemline of that thing?
FUG.
The dress is hideous and hate hate HATE the shoes, I thought she had good taste (IN SHOES). I’m tired of saying this, but SHE NEEDS A NEW STYLIST.
I’m not part of the huge (apparently) minority, but it’s not like I LOVE her either. So I’m just ‘meh’ on the subject.
She’s pregnant
Not a fan. Of her or the dress.
@Cam
Every time I see those shoes on her I say the same thing to myself “I hate hate HATE those shoes” !! 🙂
They look hideous on her feet.
She’s worn them with a lot of outfits on her press tour and I just can’t get over how cheap and not stylish they look.
That said, I think she looks very pretty here despite the horrible styling.
I’m with Kaiser on the length of the dress, it just doesn’t look right.
Let’s just say I’m happy for another reason to get Javi pics.
Although… I’ve been thinking he’s been putting on some compassionate pregnancy weight lately.
I actually think this dress looks alot better than her blazer, shorts outfit…that was hideous especially consdering her age..I mean, celebrities always like to “show off”. *eye roll* And how many awards do these people need to get their ego’s even bigger…c’mon they ACT for a living, they are loaded –that’s it! They are not savings lives…(just jealous.. 🙁
She should have worn better accessories like a statement necklace around the neck. Maybe pulled the hair back, definitely changed the shoes.
Julia Roberts seems to be a picture for “getting long in the tooth”, because her teeth are getting longer and she looks like something that uses its teeth to nibble and gnaw.
Shoes are fug, dress looks like it got thrown in the dryer and the underneath shrunk, hair..ugh!
It’s simple; she’s pregnant. (Getcher hands off my man, Roberts.)
The reason she looks so fug so often is because the girl has all the grace of a heifer. She can’t walk in heels, she can’t stand gracefully (can’t even stand UP by herself, always has to be draped over someone) and her posture is usually terrible. So even the most expensive dress or outfit is going to look crappy.
If memory serves, Laura Dern received a Lifetime Achievement Award (at Sundance maybe? Not sure) at age 32. Granted, she started acting very young, but talk about premature.
(Laura’s one of my favorite actresses, btw. I don’t find her receiving an accolade for her work strange, but the fact it was a lifetime award when she had at least half her career ahead of her).
Seeing the top of the dress I thought that it looks like one Angelina’s wore recently.
Seeing the bottom of the dress and those shoes almost made me scream in horror… A fashion tragedy.
Not really a Julia fan, BUT I love her attitude and we are so conditioned by the overly stylized, botoxed, hair extensioned plastics of the entertainment industry, that we now don’t appreciate someone who looks like the subdivision lady going out to a fancy restaurant on a Saturday night.
Call me crazy, but I ain’t hatin on her “look”
It just goes to show that it doesn’t matter how much money you have you sill may not know how to dress yourself.
I hopped on the Julia is Fugly Wagon when she left my man at the alter and took off with his best man. That’s ok though because I participated in his rebound! *evilgrin*
I saw these pics on the web last night and knew Kaiser would have something to say and I agree. Penelope is going to have to scrub Javi down with disinfectent when this EPL tour is done with, because Julia has been hanging on him like a cat in heat.
Maybe she just misunderstood when someone told her she should wear Miu Miu.
Count me in with the bitches! Maybe if she wore normal shoes, she wouldn’t have to hang on to Fugly man.
count me in the “minority” as well. the last julia roberts movie i liked was “steel magnolias” and even then it was for dolly and shirley maclaine. as for the dress…..hmmm. i don’t mind the idea of the dress but the length is weird. it should be shorter or longer, and those shoes looks awful with it.
Ick. Make her go away please.
$50million Lancome contract — has the world gone to Hell? It has been remoured that she has had cosmetic surgery — nose job for one. Just Google it and there are before/after nose pics.
This all reminds of Jane Fonda’s Age Re-Perfect commerical for Lancome, go to YouTube site to view at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThSJgseFQUM. Sure Jane, we believe your skin is tone and resillent because of Lancome’s product, sarcasm, cough, bitch, cough. Later, we find out her “real” secret (A.Good.Cosmetic.Surgeon).
I for one use to be so gullible to those commericals and ads as a teenager — all my part-time money went into the crap products that never-ever delivered. Until one day it dawn on me: my face is breaking out because of all the junk. If you really want to know what is in Lancome or any other cosmetics go to Cosmetic Database site at: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/.
Do I believe that Julia probably had work done, you bet your sweet ass I do. Do I think it looks good, sure does. Aging is a fact of life and I am believer that exercise, good eating habits and a really, really good cosmetic surgery should keep you looking young and resilent, thank you very much.
A few points:
1. I’m pretty sure “Debra” is Julia Roberts. Defensive much?
2. @Debra (i.e. , Julia): Everytime I leave the house I look like a million bucks. I lived with two drag queens in grad school and you better believe I do it up right when I go out, even if it is just to pump gas. So if people took my picture everytime I went out I would not be worried about how I look.
3. Julia (i.e. Debra) has always had horrible fashion sense. This dress is no different.
Fug
Eh. I’m so tired of the droopy sack gowns. This one might not be so bad if the hem were better and she didn’t have those clunky shoes on with it.
Count me into the minority, I find her pretty annoying, and it seems to get worse as time goes on.
Hello Julia are u cancer free al
