Julia Roberts's Favorite Things

Carter Smith/Copious Management

Almost three decades after she first captivated audiences with her megawatt smile and trademark tresses in Mystic Pizza, Julia Roberts hasn't lost her magic touch. Whether she's dazzling us with her performances onscreen, turning heads on the red carpet, or looking casual-cool while running errands in L.A., the O.G. Pretty Woman—and our December cover star—is constantly serving up beauty, fashion, and lifestyle inspo for the masses. And she makes it all look easy.

Of course, Roberts's effortless approach to style is admirable in itself. The star—whose latest film, Wonder, hits theaters Nov. 17—knows what she likes, and she prefers stocking up on classic wardrobe staples to following the latest fashion trends. Topping off her must-haves? Patagonia puffer jackets, Mother jeans, Jennifer Meyer rings, and Stallion cowboy boots (Roberts loves her own custom pair so much, we photographed her wearing them for our Western-themed cover story).
