The announcement of Julia's involvement comes hours before she made a glamorous appearance at the 2019 British Fashion Awards across the pond at Royal Albert Hall on Monday night.

Julia looked dazzling in a sparkling black jumpsuit, and when she posed alongside the legendary Giorgio Armani on the red carpet, the actress just had to mark the event with a smiling picture to social media she captioned, "The Legend. Giorgio Armani ?."

However, Julia is not the only celebrity to turn heads on the red carpet of the Fashion Awards ceremony. Rihanna looked minty in a green satin mini-dress with matching gloves and a jacket, while Cate Blanchett went ethereal with a tulle Armani Prive dress with a plunging neckline.

Relatedly, Julia Roberts may have reached remarkable success as an actress, while she is also known for her humanitarian interests, Julia's achievements extend to her private life and her long-lasting marriage to Danny Moder.

Even though the actress remains private regarding her personal life with Danny, it's been seventeen years since the couple tied the knot during an intimate and low key wedding in New Mexico in 2002. And with time, their bond only grew stronger.
