Julia Roberts stunned at the premiere for "Money Monster" at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival in a flowing Armani Privé gown with a pair of sky-high heels.
At one point, she slipped out of her shoes, walking barefoot alongside her costars.
According to Us Weekly, it might have been considered a rebellious moment, as in 2015 a group of women said they were denied entry to watch "Carol" at the festival because they weren't wearing heels. Cannes reps told Screen Daily that its dress code — "tuxedo, formal dress for gala screenings" — hadn't changed, and that "there is no specific mention about the height of the women's heels as well as for men's."
Speaking to the Australian TV program Sunrise about the moment she ditched her heels, according to Us Weekly, Roberts said: "A lot of time and effort went into ankles up. I just want to say for the record … I looked nice last night!"
