Julia Roberts Revives Tie Trend with Brooch Twist at NYFF 2025

Julia Roberts stuns at NYFF 2025 in a Vivienne Westwood suit with a brooch-covered tie, redefining red-carpet power dressing.

Julia Roberts brought unexpected edge to the After the Hunt premiere at the New York Film Festival 2025.

Styled by Elizabeth Stewart, the actress wore a blue-gray Vivienne Westwood wide-leg suit designed by Andreas Kronthaler. The single-button blazer featured exaggerated lapels and rounded patch pockets, while the floor-grazing trousers created a dramatic, gown-like silhouette. A playful pink script print scattered across the fabric added lightness to the tailored look.

But the standout detail was the tie. Sandwiched between a crisp white shirt and the blazer, Roberts’ light blue tie shimmered with chunky vintage brooches from Raven Fine Jewelers—a daring twist on power suiting that instantly made headlines. She finished the look with statement earrings by Sabyasachi, keeping the accessories luxe but cohesive.

Earlier in the day, Roberts teased the tie trend in a Khaite midi shirt dress, pairing a long skinny black tie with Jimmy Choo lace-up heels and a Manu Atelier bag. The coordinated styling proved ties are the accessory of the season—and Julia Roberts is leading the charge.
