Julia presented herself in a simple and unembellished outfit, marking a significant change while filming emotional scenes for August: Osage County in Bartsville, Oklahoma.

On set: Actress Julia Roberts and her co-star Ewan McGregor were actively filming their new project, August: Osage County, on Thursday.

Emotional performance: The brunette actress delivered a compelling and tearful portrayal.

In her personal life, Julia, who has three children with her husband, cinematographer Daniel Moder, chose a layered ensemble, featuring a white shirt over a cream top, complemented by loose blue jeans.

Her long brown hair was styled modestly for her role as Barbara Weston, a character in a family grappling with their differences after the disappearance of their alcoholic father.

During a particularly dramatic scene, Ewan held Julia’s hand with anticipation as they approached a boat dock to identify a deceased person alongside the Sheriff.

Casual appearance: The Pretty Woman star appeared quite plain as she filmed the intense moment of body identification.

Upon discovering the corpse, Julia broke down in tears, seeking comfort in the embrace of Ewan’s character, Bill Fordham, as she continued to sob.

Despite the emotional weight of the scene, Julia was spotted laughing heartily between takes.

The actress was accompanied by Julianne Nicholson, who seemed to share a lighthearted moment with the group.

Not her usual style: For her role as Barbara Weston, she donned jeans and layered tops. The Boardwalk Empire actress also opted for a similarly understated look, wearing a blue shirt and brown flared trousers, with her hair tied back in a ponytail.

Other notable cast members in the 2013 film include Benedict Cumberbatch as ‘Little Charles Aiken’ and Meryl Streep as Violet Weston.

According to the film’s IMDb page, Renée Zellweger and Andrea Riseborough were initially considered for a role.

Riseborough was ultimately cast but had to withdraw due to scheduling conflicts, resulting in Juliette Lewis stepping in as Ka.
