Not a fan of dresses? Julia Roberts’ tuxedo is the sophisticated alternative for partywear this festive season

Attending the UK premiere of After The Hunt at the BFI London Film Festival last month, Julia Roberts took her love for crisp tailoring and power dressing to new heights by stepping out in a tuxedo – and her sharp suiting is about to influence all our partywear looks this festive season.

We’ve come to know and love the suited and booted style Julia rocks on the red carpet, and this outfit was no different. Quintessentially Julia, she styled a crisp white shirt with an oversized black tuxedo, whose super high waist, barrel leg shape, and cropped blazer created a fun and fashion-forward silhouette.

But while the outfit was well-tailored, she didn’t go overly smart with her styling. For a feminine touch, she left the shirt unbuttoned at the collar and layered on a handful of dainty pearl and gold necklaces to bring elegance and femininity to the style. We love the end look as an alternative to statement dresses and gowns this season.
