Ayo Edebiri paid homage to Julia Roberts at the 2025 Golden Globes, channeling the iconic look Roberts donned at the same ceremony in 1990. The 29-year-old actress, known for her role in “The Bear,” made a statement on the red carpet in a custom Loewe ensemble, featuring an oversized gray suit jacket with structured shoulders, loose-fitting pants, a gray shirt, and black loafers. Adding a touch of glamour to her monochromatic attire, Edebiri accessorized with a long gold feather tie, small hoop earrings, silver grills, and a red heart-in-hand badge adorning the lapel of her jacket.
Edebiri’s sartorial tribute extended to her hair as well, as she showcased loose auburn waves reminiscent of Roberts’s hairstyle at the 1990 Golden Globes. In an interview on Today, Edebiri revealed the spontaneity of her hair transformation, stating, “We dyed my hair this morning. It was kind of insane dying my hair in a hotel room, but I think worth it!”
Stylist Danielle Goldberg highlighted the connection between Edebiri’s outfit and Roberts’s past fashion choices by sharing a side-by-side comparison on her Instagram Stories. The juxtaposition showcased Edebiri in her Golden Globes ensemble alongside Roberts in a similar oversized Armani suit, white shirt, and printed tie from the 1990 event. Goldberg expressed the importance of the homage, captioning the photo with “Important” and tagging both actresses.
The significance of Edebiri’s style tribute was further emphasized by her recent collaboration with Julia Roberts on the thriller film “After the Hunt,” which wrapped up filming in August 2024. As the actress stepped onto the Golden Globes stage, her outfit served as a nod to the work she and Roberts had accomplished together.
Reflecting on her attire from the 1990 Golden Globes, where she clinched the best supporting actress award for “Steel Magnolias,” Julia Roberts reminisced about the outfit’s origin. Describing it as one of her personal favorites worn at the awards ceremony, Roberts shared, “I did my hair, my girlfriend did my makeup. And I got this suit at Armani in Beverly Hills. I went into the men’s department and they had an in-store tailor and they tailored it to fit me.”
Roberts expressed her surprise at the outfit’s enduring legacy, musing, “I don’t even know that people wore really fancy gowns to the Golden Globes then the way they do now, but I thought I was very extra in this outfit. I could not have known that it was going to become this, like, statement outfit — I just thought I looked fabulous.” Even after many years, the actress revealed that she still possesses the suit that made such an impact at the prestigious awards ceremony.
