The grandeur was counterbalanced by Roberts' tastefully understated beauty appearance. Affirming that genuine confidence doesn't require adornment, soft waves, glowing complexion, and understated makeup allow the jewelry and couture to take center stage.
A Debut That Blurs the Lines Between Star and Producer
Beyond just fashion, Roberts made her producing debut with 'After the Hunt.' Roberts plays a college professor whose past collides with current charges in this psychological thriller that examines complicated themes of authority, consent, and legitimacy in academia.
