Leave it up to co-chair Julia Roberts to kick off the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala in New York City.
The big screen beauty was a vision in a platinum Giorgio Armani Privé gown that featureed a soft draped neckline accented by an antique brooch.
The gown was illuminated with intricate beading on a mesh overlay. The custom designed dress was inspired by old Hollywood Glamour.
Our thoughts?

“I’ve actually gone on a pop-culture fast. The TV shows and gossip magazines — it seems so polluting and toxic now. It’s exhausting just looking at a newsstand these days. Your eyes cross. You can’t even focus. People aren’t as interested in making a cool movie or constructing interesting characters. Now it’s just about being big and shiny and fabulous.”
– Julia Roberts bites the hand that feeds her in Entertainment Weekly, on stands nationwide Monday

The big news from yesterday’s Oprah was that Julia Roberts unveiled a photo of her new baby, Henry. But also part of the discussion was a new bracelet she designed for Emporio Armani.
It’s part of the RED campaign to fight AIDS in Africa and will be available online only at EmporioArmani.com on World AIDS Day on December 1 and in Emporio Armani stores nationwide in mid-December. Distribution of the special bracelet will be expanded on February 1, 2008.
Julia “designed” the bracelet with her hubby Danny Moder. The women’s version sells for $175 while the men’s bracelet goes for $195. Will you be picking one up this holiday season? (It’s all in the name of charity after all!)

She’s baaaaaaaaaaack!
After stepping out of the spotlight to make some gorgeous babies with her cameraman hubby, big screen goddess Julia Roberts marks her long awaited comeback in the December issue of Vanity Fair.
Inside the mag, the mother-of-three dishes on everything from the fall of Young Hollywood her favourite eco-friendly diapers.
Julia on the frenzy surrounding today’s young celebrities: “I think it’s just grotesque. It’s like a circus sideshow. I don’t know why anybody would even want to go into show business these days, with all of the different magazines and shows. It just wouldn’t be worth it. And it’s too fast. Before, you could build a career over years and many movies. Now it’s like you do one good movie and they throw a ton of money at you and a ton of attention at you. You’re being constructed outside of yourself before you even know who you are, and what you are, and how you want to do it, and why you want to do it.”
Julia on paparazzi taking photos of celebrities’ children: “I just feel like it’s so demeaning the way they behave, and I hate the fact that I even put any of my energy into thinking about it or being stressed about it. And really, more than anything, it just has to do with my kids. There’s no reason to take pictures of celebrities’ children other than for people to say, “Oh, they’re cute.” I think magazines shouldn’t run pictures of people’s kids. I have a problem with that. I also have a problem with the whole notion that, if I have Henry in a sling, I’m hiding him. He’s a baby and I’m carrying him around, and so’s the lady across the street. I get pissed off, because I think that it’s inhuman to chase a woman with her children.”
Julia on how celebs are just like normal people: “We’re all the same. Why can’t we get on board with this? That we’re all the same. Some have cooler jobs, some have less cool jobs, some have longer legs, some are nicer people, but we’re all the same. We’re all orbiting the same sun.”
Julia on diapers: “I use Seventh Generation [chlorine-free, nontoxic] diapers for Finn and Hazel, and then I was turned on to the [plastic-free, flushable] gDiapers. Henry’s got a gDiaper on.… I would recommend them overall. It is flushable, but you’ve got to stir that thing! If you don’t really break it all the way up, it doesn’t go all the way down.”
Julia on if her kids wanted to get into acting: “I would call Natalie Portman’s mother. Natalie is such a good actress, but she seems like such a sensible person. I asked her about it one day when we were doing Closer, and she said she only worked with people that her parents trusted, and she only worked when it didn’t impact her school. So there were definitely guidelines. No one does it that way, but they did it, so it can be done. I hope I don’t face that, though, because I think kids should be kids and childhood should be filled with … you know that smell, when your kids come in and they smell like dirt and sweat and sunshine? That’s what I hope for my kids.”
Julia on how it felt to be the first woman to earn more than $20 million [for Erin Brockovich]:“Just as good as it would if you were a man, I bet. I mean, I guess I shouldn’t belittle it like that. I should take pride in being a forerunner, even if it’s something that seems kind of stupid, like being overpaid for a great job. But I don’t really think about it. Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas was my agent then, and she took a real position, as a woman in the industry representing a woman, to make strides in that way. So she really deserves credit. It was really a thing for her.”
Julia on getting back into shape after having children: “I have been working out, but listen, it is 97 percent genetics. Don’t let anybody tell you any crap about anything else, because that’s what it is: 97 percent genetics and 3 percent just get your ass moving. Because I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like.”

After presenting the American Cinematheque award to BFF George Clooney last year, it was Julia Roberts turn to receive the very same honour.
The 39-year-old actress said she came along at the right time to turn into an A-list actress.
“I think I came along at a kinder time in the business, It wasn’t about fashion, and there weren’t so many media outlets, it was just kind of different. You could really cultivate your work a little more gently.”
On hand were Tom Hanks and Sally Field.

Julia Roberts’ perfect little family just got a little more perfect. The Oscar-winning actress just welcomed a little boy named Henry Daniel Moder.
Per People mag:
‘Henry was born Monday in Los Angeles and weighed 8½ lbs. “The Moder family is doing great,” Roberts’s rep, Marcy Engelman, tells PEOPLE exclusively.’
Congratulations to the Pretty Woman and her uber hot cameraman hubby Danny Moder. Now let’s just hope Jules finally gets her ass back to acting.

Looking pretty in purple, a very pregnant (to the tune of 9 months) Julia Roberts was spotted at a private party yesterday in Long Beach alongside her hubby Danny Moder and their 2-year-old twins.
While I don’t claim to be a baby psychic, I’m sayin’ Jules is rocking a boy bump.
I guess we’ll have to wait a couple of weeks to find out the truth.
In the meantime, pray she doesn’t scar the new one with any names like Hazel and Phinnaeus.

Self-admitted college dropout Ryan Reynolds has been making up for lost classroom time in his latest flick.
Filming at Austin University in Texas, the Canuck hunk plays a professor’s son in the family tragedy ‘Fireflies In The Garden.’ Ryan joins an impressive ensemble cast, including William Dafoe, ‘Matrix’ babe Carrie-Anne Moss and Oscar-winner Julia Roberts.
But don’t for one second think that Ryan’s workaholic nature is keeping him away from enjoying life away from the film set. Amid rumours of a blossoming romance, Ryan has been spending time with his equally buff ‘Blade: Trinity’ co-star Jessica Biel, dining with the glamorous actress on many occasions.
