Thirty years later: Julia Roberts wears the 'Pretty Woman' look again

Pretty Woman is back in fashion more than thirty years after its premiere. In the last month, the film starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere has been in the news for the different tributes that Georgina Rodríguez and Úrsula Corberó have made to one of Vivian Ward's most iconic looks: her red dress to go to the opera .

But now it was Julia Roberts herself who wanted to wink at her character during her stay in Milan. The actress was one of the stars invited to the Gucci Ancora show, within the framework of Fashion Week. A presence that did not go unnoticed by the look chosen by Roberts, who was very happy to be in the Italian capital and to reunite with colleagues such as Ryan Gosling or Jessica Chastain.

Julia arrived at the event wearing a gray two-piece outfit consisting of a jacket and shorts. An ideal style for the half-time months that was signed by the Italian house and its new creative director, Sabato de Sarno, who debuted in office with a fashion show that was highly applauded.

The actress was radiant in a jacket with shoulder pads and pleated Bermuda shorts that she combined with a thin gray buttoned sweater and black patent leather slingback pumps with a metallic chain heel strap. A perfect set for those who prefer to continue showing tanned legs during the first weeks of autumn and with which Julia replaced her classic pantsuit.

But in addition to joining the Bermuda shorts trend, the actress paid her particular tribute to one of the looks she wears in Pretty Woman. It is the red suit that Vivian wears during a visit by her friend Kit De Luca to the hotel where she is staying while she works for Edward Lewis. In this scene, the young woman is wearing a blazer and shorts set that she combines with a white sleeveless shirt, a black belt, and black pumps.

With this choice, Roberts demonstrated that Bermuda shorts can be worn at any age and that they can be worn both for the office and for a night out or a formal event. Furthermore, this outfit seen in Pretty Woman could be worn perfectly again today since red is one of the most trendy colors this fall-winter.
