Julia Roberts is one of the most famous actress in the world but not one known to have the time for fashion shoots or campaigns.
However, she agreed to be the face of Givenchy and she looks absolutely stunning in the pictures as Givenchy brought something exciting to the table by mixing models and the icon, Julia Roberts for the shoot.
According to Riccardo Tisci, the creative director for Givenchy: ‘I wanted it to be an honest collection, true to myself and true to Givenchy, of course, but more to myself. It was a very pure message. Very black and white. A powerful woman, with sex appeal but at the same time with masculinity, which is my style. And I wanted an honest campaign. The first time Julia contacted me to work with me was for the red carpet and she wanted my tuxedo. I thought it would be amazing [to get her] for the campaign. I respect her a lot as a beauty and as a woman. She’s a very intelligent girl. And a very funny girl. Super-funny. And very confident of herself, which is very much my woman, you know like Marina [Abramovic], Mariacarla [Boscono]. I thought it would be difficult because Julia really doesn’t do [campaigns], so I was surprised that she said yes.’
