Ayo Edebiri Pays Tribute to Julia Roberts at the 2025 Golden Globes!
Bear star, 29, arrived on the red carpet in a baggy gray suit in a nod to Roberts’ iconic look she wore to the ceremony back in 1990.
Edebiri wore a custom Loewe outfit consisting of an oversized gray jacket with structured shoulders, matching wide leg trousers, a gray shirt and black loafers. She added a little sparkle to her monochromatic look by adding a long gold feathered tie.
The actress completed her minimalist look with a pair of small earrings with a ring and silver bars and a red badge with a heart in her hand that she wears on the lapel of her jacket.
Edebiri also sported loose auburn waves to match Robert’s hairstyle at the 1990 Golden Globes. She shared her newly dyed hairstyle on Today“We dyed our hair this morning. It was a bit crazy to dye our hair in a hotel room, but I think it was worth it!”
