When attending political events, some celebs probably feel pressured to dress more like the company they’re keeping. And even if politicians’ views are more of the liberal persuasion, they tend to wear conservative clothing. The black Greta Constantine dress that Julia Roberts wore to attend a fundraiser for President Joe Biden in June 2024 almost fit the bill. It featured a tea-length ruffled skirt and puff sleeves, details that few would consider daring. However, the garment’s neckline took a scandalous nosedive — much like Biden’s 2024 approval rating.
Roberts’ color choice also provided fodder for Trump supporters, who made a predictable dig about it. “Wearing black for the funeral,” read an Instagram comment from singer Joy Villa, who once sported a “Make America Great Again” dress at the Grammy Awards. A user on X echoed her joke, writing, “Julia Roberts wore a black dress to Biden’s fundraiser thinking It was a funeral.”
Roberts attended the event with her close friend and frequent co-star George Clooney, who also showed a little skin by leaving the top buttons of his dress shirt undone. However, Biden was probably far less offended by both actors’ sartorial choices than he was by Clooney suddenly doing an about-face and calling for the president to give up his bid for reelection in an op-ed for The New York Times. But hey, at least he didn’t do it with a t-shirt.
