At the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony in Washington, DC, Julia Roberts made a memorable impression by donning a custom-made gown decorated with images of her close friend, George Clooney. Images of Clooney from his career, including his landmark appearance in “ER” and his polka-dot cover for W Magazine’s December 2013 art issue, were placed on the outfit designed by Jeremy Scott, creative director of Moschino. Roberts accessorized the dress with silver jewelry and a cropped black blazer.
George Clooney’s accomplishments were honored at the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony together with those of Gladys Knight, Amy Grant, Tania León, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. from the band U2. Clooney was honored for his long acting career and charitable endeavors.
Julia Roberts and George Clooney have been good friends for a long time; their relationship began when they collaborated on the 2001 heist movie “Ocean’s Eleven.” They most recently appeared together in the 2022 romantic comedy “Ticket to Paradise.” Their friendship is renowned for its lighthearted banter and set pranks.
In the East Room of the White House before the event, Julia Roberts first made an appearance in a different costume at a reception for the Kennedy Center awardees hosted by President Joe Biden earlier in the evening.
