Julia Roberts made a rare public appearance over the weekend when she attended the launch party of the new menswear brand of 10-time surfing champion Kelly Slater. While the attendance of the actress in the said event already created a buzz around Hollywood, what made her presence even more surprising was the fact that she brought along hubby Danny Moder and their three children in the party. The surfing champ's party, which was also attended by model Cindy Crawford and her family, saw a number of children running around with Roberts' kids, namely, 10-year-old twins Hazel and Finn as well as 8-year-old Henry. The event was held in the Malibu beach house of Slater.
People Magazine reports that Roberts graced the occasion donning black shorts paired with a loose-fitting blouse of the same color. In the photo published by People Magazine, it could be seen that Slater was flacked by Roberts, Madder and their three children - all looking visibly giddy during the beach side affair. The 47-year-old surfer also welcomed Anthony Kiedis with son 7-year-old Everyly Bear. Even Crawford and hubby Rande Gerber tagged along their kids, namely, Presley and Kaia. "The Expendables" star Jason Statham was also spotted hanging around the Malibu event as well as "300" actor Gerard Butler. Meanwhile, "Avengers: Age of Ultron" star Chris Hemsworth attended the party with wife Elsa Pataky as his date for the night.
"It's about non-grasping, non-hoarding, cleaning out your closet, dusting out your mind and letting go of the things that weigh you down mentally and emotionally," shared Roberts in an earlier interview with The Guardian, referring to her current lifestyle which is filled with her children, quiet home life and gorgeous husband. The "Runaway Bride" star went on to say, "There's a lightness to my life now - an airy quality of not taking things too seriously. That's happiness"
With regard the new menswear brand of Slater, the public appeared to be conflicted on their reaction to his goods. While the majority praise his design, it appears that some are highly concerned of the price range. According to Women's Wear Daily, Slater's products have been branded as "overpriced," citing the facts that a terry cloth hoodie costs US$198 and a bomber-style jacket is priced at $385. However, Slater remains firm on the fact that quality is the priority for his goods.
All the feedback about the design, the product, has been amazing. We have had, actually, some negative feedback from our price range," shared Slater. He added, "At the same time, I'm trying to understand what they're trying to say through the words and I'm trying to get them to understand what we're after, you know, our purpose behind the brand. And our purpose is to make a good-quality product you can trust."
