Just like the ingredients in a classic romantic comedy, there are fashion shortcuts that can be used time and time again. Actress Julia Roberts proves that there is a reason these tried and true formulas never get old, whether you're streaming Pretty Woman for the millionth time, or throwing on your favorite pair of jeans and flats.
Recently, the romcom queen was spotted enjoying a cup of coffee while on set in London filming the upcoming movie, After the Hunt. Complete with a chic blonde long bob and minimal makeup (but don't miss the moody dark nail polish!), Roberts proves that some things (like her iconic oversize blazers of the '90s) only get better with age.
