Julia Roberts is a pretty woman—with and without red carpet glam.
The Oscar winner recently put her natural look on display in a Dec. 16 Instagram selfie, wearing little to no makeup with her simple distinctive beachy curls and a gray sweatshirt.
But instead of highlighting her beauty, Julia drew the attention to the book in her hands, writing an homage to fashion photographer pal Alexi Lubomirski alongside the photo, “My friend @alexilubomirski has made this beautiful new book Natura Sacra.”
And while the 58-year-old’s latest look proves her preference for simplicity when it comes to beauty in fashion, she has previously described her overall style as “chic and effortless.”
Indeed, the Notting Hill actress has a proclivity for low-cost, low-maintenance looks. In fact, she recently admitted that her most iconic look to date at the 47th annual Golden Globes in 1990 was thrown together last minute.
“This was one of my all-time favorite outfits,” Julia told British Vogue in a January 2024 interview. “I did my hair, my girlfriend did my makeup, and I got this suit from Armani in Beverly Hills. I went into the men’s department, and they had an in-store tailor and they tailored it for me.”
At the time, Julia—who shares 21-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel and Henry, 18, with husband Danny Moder—had no idea it would become one of her most famous red carpet looks to date.
“I could not have known it was going to become this statement outfit,” she explained. “I just thought I looked fabulous.”
Meanwhile, when it comes to beauty—and particularly cosmetic procedures—Julia is just as focused on her less is more philosophy.
“It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons,” she told Elle in 2010. “I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy, and when I'm confounded. Your face tells a story... and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office.”
Four years later, Julia reiterated her point to You magazine, saying, “By Hollywood standards, I guess I've already taken a big risk in not having had a face-lift.”

The Euphoria actress confirmed in December 2025 that she hasn't had a boob job.

“Yes,” Sydney responded. “I’ve never gotten any work done anywhere.”
Kimora Lee Simmons
She shared in December 2025 that she's never gotten filler.

Alabama Barker
Travis Barker and ex Shanna Moakler's daughter has been open about her use of lip fillers but denies having cosmetic surgery.
In February 2024, she shared photos of herself wearing a bikini on Instagram, to which a user commented, "This child has done alot of cosmetic surgery @ a very young age, I hope she doesn't over do it! She looks good now!"
The rapper responded, "I really appreciate the love! I'm natural, besides my lips, accept the fact I'm naturally beautiful."
Kristen Stewart
The Twilight alum told Harper's Bazaar U.K. in 2015 she will "never" get plastic surgery, adding, "I am so freaked out by the idea of doing anything. And maybe that's completely arrogant but I don't want to change anything about myself. I think the women who do are losing their minds. It's vandalism."
Meryl Streep
The Devil Wears Prada star told Good Housekeeping in 2008. "You have to embrace getting older. Life is precious, and when you've lost a lot of people, you realize each day is a gift."
Drake
The "God's Plan" rapper shut down rumors in September 2025 that he had plastic surgery to make his abs more defined, explaining the fan speculation was a result of using a photo editing app.
"I came from the gym, I was sweaty in that pic," he said during an episode of Bobbi Althoff’s Not This Again podcast. "Maybe I heightened the saturation or something on it."
He added, "I think I hit it too hard. They don't look like that."
While Drake noted that people go under the knife "all the time," he isn’t one of them.
"People also say that I got a BBL," he continued, referencing the popular Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. "They call me 'BBL Drizzy.'"
Paulina Porizkova
The supermodel opened up about why she's all about embracing her skin at every age.
"This is a 58 year old face without fillers, Botox or surgery in good light with professional gorgeous makeup," she wrote in an August 2023 Instagram caption. "I have chosen not to put anything 'into' my face."
She continued, "Some days, I like it. I feel like my face has gained character even as it's lost its youthful prettiness. And it seems a fair trade off."
Charlize Theron
The Oscar winner revealed whether or not she's gotten plastic surgery.
"My face is changing," she told Allure in an interview published August 2023, "and I love that my face is changing and aging. People think I had a facelift. They're like, 'What did she do to her face?' I'm like, 'Bitch, I'm just aging! It doesn't mean I got bad plastic surgery. This is just what happens.'"
Elizabeth Banks
The Pitch Perfect alum admitted she's never gotten any cosmetic injectables, telling People in 2023, "I've never put a needle in my face. And by the way, most people do it and truly, there's no judgement. But I make my living with my face."
She added, "Basically I'm terrified of f--king it up."

“Still never even been under the knife or anesthesia in my life for the 15th year in a row!!” Lana wrote on Instagram in September 2025, per a screenshot captured by People. “But if u use filler like [my doctor] used to- to build up the bridge of your nose it looks tall no bump. Takes seven minutes.”
The nonsurgical rhinoplasty Lana referred is “a cosmetic procedure where dermal fillers are used to temporarily change the shape of your nose,” according to the Cleveland Clinic. Though the procedure is less invasive, the results only last up to six months.
Linda Evangelista
In 2021, the supermodel, who rose to fame in the '90s as one of the first, sued Zeltiq Aesthetics, alleging that its CoolScupting fat-reducing procedures that she underwent in 2015 and 2016 left her "permanently disfigured." The parties reached a settlement in the case in 2022.

In January 2021, while pregnant, the model wrote on her Instagram Story in response to fans' questions: "For anyone saying 'you need to stop w/ the lip injections': I've never had lip injections (no judging folks who do—ya'll look great!) but you can't even get injections when you're pregnant!"

Jennifer Aniston
The Friends actress did have a nose job when she was younger to fix a deviated septum, but has spoke out against Botox and other facial fillers.
"There is also this pressure in Hollywood to be ageless," she told Yahoo! Beauty in 2014. "I think what I have been witness to, is seeing women trying to stay ageless with what they are doing to themselves. I am grateful to learn from their mistakes, because I am not injecting s--t into my face."
Gwyneth Paltrow
"I've probably tried everything. I would be scared to go under the knife, but you know, talk to me when I'm 50. I'll try anything. Except I won't do Botox again, because I looked crazy," the actress told Harper's Bazaar in 2013.

Jodie Foster
"Nah. It's not my thing," the Oscar winner told MORE magazine in 2007. "I don't have anything against it for other people. Whatever they want to do, I'm fine with it. For me, it's really a self-image thing. Like, I'd rather have somebody go, "Wow, that girl has a big nose" than 'Wow, that girl has a bad nose job.' I'd rather have a comment about who I am than about something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am."
Lady Gaga
In 2011, the pop star told Harper's Bazaar, "I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification."
Kate Winslet
In 2011, the Titanic star told the U.K. newspaper The Telegraph that cosmetic surgery goes against her morals, the way her parents brought her up and what she considers to be "natural beauty."
"I will never give in," she added. "I am an actress, I don't want to freeze the expression of my face."
