In case you missed it, earlier this year, Julia Roberts ditched her long brunette locks and replaced them with a dramatic blonde bob haircut – talk about a transformation, hey?! Now, circa three months later, the actor has once again zhuzhed up her hair look but this time, with a style that we can all recreate at home. 'Tis the season of textured waves, people!
Over the weekend, the Pretty Woman actor attended the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame event where the foundation announced this year's inductees for music's highest honour. Of course, for such a coveted night, Julia turned up and out with a beauty look to note and more specifically, hair that had us reeling with envy.

Her longtime hairstylist and friend, Serge Normant – whose clientele also includes Sarah Jessica Parker, Elizabeth Hurley and Claudia Schiffer, to name a few – shared a two-part carousel of the soft beachy curls in question over on Instagram. '@juliaroberts ❤️ last night on her way to honour the Dave Matthew’s band at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland! What a Beautiful night that was!' Serge wrote in the caption of his post.
