Julia Roberts Shares Oscar Dress, Love Letters With Kids

Julia Roberts's three children, twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and younger son Henry, have all recently left home for college. This transition has prompted the actress to reflect on what she wishes to pass down to them as a legacy.

Roberts has curated a "heritage collection" of significant items, including memorable outfits worn throughout her career. Notably, she has saved the Valentino gown she wore to the 2001 Academy Awards, where she won Best Actress for her role in 'Erin Brockovich,' with the hope that her daughter Hazel might inherit it.

Beyond fashion, Roberts also cherishes personal keepsakes. She revealed she still possesses the first seven-page letter her husband, Danny Moder, ever wrote to her and hopes Hazel will read it in the future. Her youngest son, Henry, has even tried on a memorable piece from her wardrobe: the grey Armani suit she wore to the 1990 Golden Globe Awards.

With an empty nest, Roberts has acknowledged the emotional aspect of this new phase but looks forward to her children's visits. The items she has saved, from gowns to letters, represent tangible connections to her career and personal life, offering her children stories and potential heirlooms.
