Julia Roberts no longer looks like her usual Hollywood self.
The 57-year-old beauty – who has starred in Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride, Oceans 11 and Ticket To Paradise – is known for her thick brunette wavy hair.
But for her new movie role the Georgia native – who is reportedly worth $250M – has gone bleach blonde.
New images from the film After The Hunt, which opens on October 10, were shared on Wednesday.
The psychological drama sees Roberts play a knockout blonde brainy college professor who must deal with a serious accusation from a student (played by Ayo Edebiri) against a professor at the college (Andrew Garfield).
The director is Luca Guadagnino. Also starring in the film are Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny.

An official synopsis describes After The Hunt as ‘a gripping psychological drama about a college professor (Julia Roberts) who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star student (Ayo Edebiri) levels an accusation against one of her colleagues (Andrew Garfield), and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come into the light.’
The trailer opens with what seems like a civil debate among the college’s colleagues.
Then the conversation turns to someone being ‘offended’ by another person.
Roberts is still very active with her film career.
Julia is also starring in Panic Carefully from director Sam Esmail, who is married to Emmy Rossum.
The film has been described as a paranoid thriller. Filming took place earlier this year in England. Julia’s costars are Elizabeth Olsen, Eddie Redmayne and Brian Tyree Henry.
There have also been reports Roberts will costar with Jennifer Aniston for a body swap comedy for Amazon Studios.
The Mother’s Day co-stars are tipped to appear in a new comedy from Palm Springs director Max Barbakow after an action-packed auction between four other studios.
The movie – which was first reported by Deadline – will be produced by Margot Robbie’s production company LuckyChap Entertainment after the sale. Aside from the two actresses and the backers, not much else is known about the film, including its name or logline.

Julia returned to the rom com game in the Ol Parker-helmed Ticket to Paradise opposite George Clooney.
It was a 2022 flick about divorced parents coming back into each other’s lives at their daughter Lily’s wedding in Indonesia.
In May Roberts has posed for an ultra-rare photo with all three of her children.
The image was shared by the actress Julia’s husband, cinematographer Danny Moder, 55, showing the star with their twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, both 20, and their youngest son Henry, 17 – in a break from their notoriously private approach to their family life.
Julia and Danny have been married since 2002, having wed on her 82-acre ranch in Taos, New Mexico. The picture, posted to Danny’s Instagram account to mark US Mother’s Day, was captioned: ‘Mothers make the coolest stuff. Love these guys.’
Julia, known for her roles in films such as ‘Pretty Woman’, ‘Runaway Bride’ and ‘Ticket to Paradise’, has largely kept her children out of the spotlight.
But in interviews over the past year, she has spoken more openly about motherhood and her children’s transition to college life.
Speaking to Extra in a previous interview, Julia said she was thrilled to see Hazel and Phinnaeus begin their university education.
‘It’s really thrilling and I wasn’t lucky enough to have a college experience,’ she said, adding: ‘And so to see how it’s happening for them is really fascinating. And yeah, I’m just, I’m excited for them.’

The Oscar-winning actress also said: ‘As soon as they hit the campus I immediately made supporting their schools my entire life. I wear the colors. I do the whole thing.’
When asked how Henry was adjusting to being the only child still living at home, Julia said: ‘I think it’s a good 50/50 split. He’s loving it. And I think he misses his people.’
Julia also discussed Hazel’s personal style, saying: ‘She’s more bohemian in her aesthetic.’
She confirmed Hazel sometimes borrows from her wardrobe, adding: ‘She can, yeah!’
In December, during an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’, Julia said her children were doing ‘great’ and confirmed that ‘two of the three of my children are in college.’
Julia and Danny, who recently wrapped work on a film project, have maintained a close-knit family dynamic.
Julia has said: ‘My husband just wrapped a movie and we get in the car and drive home together, so that will be nice.’
