Anyone who has gone to a formal event in sky-high heels probably related so much to those photos of Julia Roberts heading up the stairs, shoes in hand, dress pulled up off the floor. We are all Julia at the end of a wedding, no?

In an interview with Sunrise on Channel 7 in Australia, Roberts explained that although she was barefoot, she still felt she was dressed appropriately. “A lot was happening from my ankles up,” she said. “Let’s not forget all that. A lot of time and effort went into ankles up. I just want to say for the record. I looked all right.”
