Julia Roberts appeared fresh-faced in her latest Instagram post, shared with her 13.4 million followers on Monday.
The 58-year-old actress, who recently discussed cancel culture with Sean Penn, looked almost unrecognizable as she posed without makeup in a single snapshot.
She showed off her smooth, wrinkle-free, bare complexion while touting a friend’s new book.
‘My friend @alexilubomirski has made this beautiful new book Natura Sacra. ALL the proceeds go to the charity- Hope and Play.org,’ she wrote in the caption.
Her blonde-highlighted locks were parted at the center and framed her face in textured waves.
The mother-of-three wore a cozy heather-grey sweater in the photo, which has so far racked up over 91,000 likes.

Together, they critiqued cancel culture and the absence of shame as they discussed her ‘provocative’ Me-Too film After The Hunt.
The movie follows a college professor (Roberts) whose star pupil makes a sexual assault accusation against one of her colleagues, causing a dark secret from her own past to surface.
It unpacks what happens when loyalty and friendship are challenged by ethics and morality.
Penn said it’s refreshing to see the film test the notion that no one should be made to feel uncomfortable.
‘I think shame is underrated these days. It’s got a bad name this decade. Why shouldn’t people be ashamed of things?’ he mused.
Meanwhile, Roberts said that in preparation for the film she got to have conversations in which people listened to to learn, rather than to force their beliefs on others.
She mentioned about her co-stars, ‘Luca and Andrew (Garfield) and Ayo (Edebiri) and Chloë (Sevigny) came to our house and sat for days and days at our kitchen table, and we had all these conversations.’

She explained, ‘Really bright people do not jockey for their position. They share their ideas and their feelings and then they listen intently.
‘It’s the listening that I feel we’ve gotten the farthest from in culture, because conversations get so intense so quickly, and you’re just waiting for that break so that you can say, “OK, but this is why I’m right. This is why what I believe is better.”‘
The silver screen sensation added: ‘It was so nice to have the time and to be with truly bright people, and hearing what everybody had to say.
‘We didn’t necessarily tell all our characters’ secrets. But it was just a great playground of thought.’
Promoting the interview on social media earlier this month, the Stepmom star shared a photo alongside the actor and wrote, ‘Thank you @Variety for a fun time with my friend Sean Penn aka the GOAT. ❤️.’
