When we want to express our gratitude to our friends, we normally send them a thoughtful note or treat them to something delicious.
Julia Roberts, on the other hand, took the concept of support to a whole new level when she sat behind her co-star from “Ticket to Paradise,” none other than the legendary George Clooney, earlier this month at the Kennedy Center Honors.
The star of “Ocean’s Eleven” was among those honored with the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors.
In a touching homage, Roberts wore a stunning gown embroidered with photos of her famous partner, George Clooney. Clooney’s reaction to this heartfelt tribute has been revealed.
According to reports, Clooney was stunned the moment Roberts walked the stage, uttering a genuine “Wow!”. The fabric of Roberts’ dress was a canvas with a collage of images depicting the ever-stylish Gravity actress.
Each image was beautifully framed in a soft gold tone. The photographs were chosen from Clooney’s red carpet appearances, renowned stints on the medical drama ER, and other notable public appearances.
“What’s this, you ask?” Roberts made a funny comment as she appeared on stage. Just a small amount. “Can you sense my joy at being here to honor Gladys Knight?”
And, if you’re wondering how this one-of-a-kind fashion statement came to be, it can’t be purchased off the shelf.
Jeremy Scott, the creative designer of Moschino, systematically created the stunning design, which was exquisitely styled by the exceptional Elizabeth Stewart.
Roberts donned a sleek black cropped jacket to complement the magnificent gown, a subtle touch that flawlessly tied the look together without pulling attention away from the honoree. The addition of fine Chopard jewelry enhanced the appearance even more.
Serge Normant posted a photo of Stewart’s gown back on his Instagram account.
The stylist added humor to the scene by tagging the photo with the hashtag “#juliaframedgeorge.”
Roberts, overwhelmed with thanks, turned to her own Instagram account to express her feelings. “My gown has its favorites!” she captioned. “@jeremyscott, @elizabethstewart1, and @moschino, you’ve transformed my dream dress into reality!” she expressed genuine gratitude for the creative skills involved.
George, it makes me very happy to see you receive this highest honor from the @kennedycenter [tv emoji].
The saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” is particularly appropriate in this scenario, as we are challenged to capture the amount of dedication shown by each lovingly placed image decorating Julia’s exquisite gown.
