Julia Roberts Channeled Her Iconic Pretty Woman Character in a Polka Dot Jumpsuit
If you assumed that cutout mini dress and matching blonde wig was Pretty Woman‘s most iconic look, you just made a big mistake. Big. Huge.
Everyone knows that the polka dotted dress Vivian Ward donned for a polo match is the ensemble that has withstood the test of time—so much so, that Pretty Woman star herself, Julia Roberts, recreated the look for a recent outing.
The actress stepped out at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in Pacific Palisades, California, on Saturday, channeling her onscreen counterpart in head-to-toe polka dots. Roberts put a modern spin on the entire look, opting for a black-and-white Michael Kors jumpsuit instead of a chocolate brown, sleeveless sundress. Both Roberts’s Ward’s outfits even featured pleats and belts—Roberts used a simple white belt to cinch her jumpsuit.
And while Ward pulled her hair into a messy updo and topped it with a prim sun hat in the iconic 1990 film, Roberts wore her hair down in loose waves. She completed the outfit with brown aviators, a black manicure and white laced-up loafers—better for divot stomping, clearly.
Compare the two looks, worn by Roberts almost 30 (!) years apart, below.
