Julia Roberts may have just recently joined Instagram, but she’s already a pro at shutting down the haters. The Ben Is Back star clapped back at a social media troll who called out her manicure choice after a fan account posted a side-by-side picture comparing the gorgeous actress to Hollywood legend Joan Crawford — and Roberts totally nailed the response (sorry, we had to!).
At the Ben Is Back premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, September 8, the blonde beauty stunned in a floor-length Dsquared2 gown with strong shoulders and waist cutouts. On Monday, September 10, an Instagram account devoted to vintage clothing and costuming shared a side-by-side photo of Roberts at the TIFF and the late Crawford in a similar silhouette.
“Who wore it better,” the caption read. “I always like to find the glamour of classic Hollywood when I can. Over the weekend Julia Roberts looked stunning in this gorgeous full length gown designed by Dsquared2 and in a little way has brought back the shoulder pad to the red carpet at the Toronto film festival. I love it. Full length stylish classic elegance.”
While most commenters marveled at both ladies’ stunning elegance in their respective dresses, one critic had her sights set on something else — Roberts’ manicure. “Joan Crawford looks way better in my opinion more classic and refined and Julia is wearing ugly black nail polish,” the woman commented.
But Roberts was not having it, and let the troll know that, if she’s going to criticize, she should at least get her facts straight first. “It is in fact a navy polish with garnets crystals as a grounding accent,” the Oscar winner quipped. “In case you would like to edit your comment from ‘ugly black nail polish’ to ugly navy polish with Garnet crystals. Just sayin.”
You go, girl! And, for the record, we are all about a glam navy (or black!) mani for fall.
