Get the Look from $24

Julia Roberts just gave us a peak Julia Roberts style moment.

At a recent screening of her new movie After the Hunt in New York City, the 57-year-old Oscar winner wore an oversized beige Khaite shirt dress accessorized with a black skinny tie, giving it a signature Roberts twist.

It also served as a perfect example of how a classic shirt dress works as a one-piece fall wardrobe essential. It’s practical, comfortable, and easy to style, whether you’re headed to the office, brunch, or a weekend night out. Add a belt for shape, wear it loose with sandals for a casual look, or channel the actress with a necktie and heels. 

Want to recreate her look? The Amazon options we found start at $24.

Shirt Dresses Inspired by Julia Roberts

Chouyatou Shirt Dress

This easygoing shirt dress is perfect for fall layering with an oversized cardigan (so it doesn’t bunch) and boots on chilly days, or on its own with comfy sandals or sneakers for a casual look when it’s warm. Any way you style it, the side pockets make it practical for errands or school drop-off. 

One shopper called it a great summer-to-fall piece that makes “a lazy day” look dressed up. It’s crafted from lightweight cotton and comes in five neutral colors — but khaki is a good choice if you want to channel Roberts.

Ladyful Cotton Shirt Dress

This cotton-linen maxi shirt dress drapes beautifully while still having some structure. One shopper admitted they wore it with Prada boots and a Versace handbag, but got more compliments on the dress that looked like “a million dollars.” Another shared their styling tips, suggesting to “push up the sleeves” and accessorize the dress “to the max” with “bold earrings, [a] bold necklace, and bold bracelets.”  

Gguhhu Button-Down Shirt Dress

With more than a dozen color choices, this 100 percent cotton shirt dress has become a go-to for shoppers looking for an easy outfit formula. The oversized fit makes it super comfy, although reviewers recommend sizing down if you want it to be more tailored. 

One person noted it’s “easy to dress up with accessories,” while another shopper admitted to buying the dress in nine colors — explaining that it “made their life easier” by not having to think about what to wear.

Consider this your Julia Roberts-approved cue to add a shirt dress to your style rotation — and maybe a skinny tie, too, to copy her simple fall outfit.
