Julia Roberts and Niece Emma Roberts Twin with Copper-colored Hair

Julia Roberts and Emma Roberts are proving to have more than just their last name in common.

Celebrating the start of New York Fashion Week, both actresses arrived at the Central Park Boathouse for the Veuve Clicquot dinner hosted by Jacquemus designer Simon Porte with the same copper hair coloring. Every facet of their color technique, from dark brown roots to honey-blond ends, was identical.

Their styling, however, was different. The “Pretty Woman” actress opted for messy beach waves, while the “Wild Child” star pulled her warm-toned hair into a low ponytail behind her shoulders. Both women posed side by side in black garments: Julia in a suit and her niece in a floor-length gown. The event marked their first red carpet appearance together in 13 years.

Emma has been at the forefront of the copper hair trend for months. She first debuted the vibrant shade in February at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Super Bowl party. Before that, she was in her blond era. Julia, on the other hand, has slowly evolved her coloring to achieve the burnt orange hue in recent weeks. In late August, she was photographed on the 82nd annual Venice Film Festival red carpet with light brown hair and blond highlights for the premiere of “After the Hunt.”

The copper hair trend arrived in the wake of the cherry cola color obsession of 2024, with stars such as Leighton Meester, Keke Palmer and, of course, Emma leading the charge toward the warmer hue. Stylist Jacob Rozenberg, a Redken artistic ambassador who works with Meghann Fahy and Rose Byrne, recently told WWD that strawberry blond and copper hair isn’t going anywhere this fall. “I have seen a big shift from more high contrast colors to more tonal, warmer tones,” he said. “I just feel like natural colors and keeping within a close range of your own natural color is just more what we’re going to see this fall.”
