Julia Roberts Debuts Blonde Lob in ‘After the Hunt' Trailer
The lob in question (that's a 'long bob,' FYI) is the in-between haircut that's been reigning supreme in salons for the past few years. Falling just below the shoulders, it's the Goldilocks of hairstyles—short enough to easily maintain and style, but long enough to still play around with waves, curls, or an updo.
Julia's version is styled in stretched curls, softly layered, and tinged with a buttery blonde hue that not only warms up her complexion but also makes for a surprising transformation. See the star's hairstyle—that's worlds apart from her signature style, may I add—in the trailer below.
The dramatic hair switch-up comes to us via her upcoming role in After the Hunt, a psychological thriller slated to hit screens later this year. So, while we're used to seeing Julia's iconic red hair blowing in the wind (Pretty Woman, anyone?), this sleek, polished lob signals a bold new character.
From rom-com royalty to thriller queen, with every hairstyle, Julia's proving that she can do it all. But we already knew that anyway, right?

Dermot Mulroney teases a 'My Best Friend's Wedding' sequel
Say a little prayer for this. Dermot Mulroney has officially confirmed that 'there is talk of a sequel' to his 1997 modern classic rom-com, 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' 'I know nothing about it. Last I heard, quote, lawyers were talking, unquote,' he exclusively told The Post while promoting his Netflix show 'The Hunting Wives.' Advertisement 'My Best Friend's Wedding' followed NYC-based food critic Julianne 'Jules' Potter (Julia Roberts) who had an agreement with her friend Michael O'Neal (Mulroney) that they'd marry each other, if they both stayed unmarried by 28. 6 Cameron Diaz and Dermot Mulroney in 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' ©TriStar Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 6 Dermot Mulroney at The 34th Annual EMA Awards Gala honoring Quinta Brunson, at Radford Studio Center in Studio City, California, on October 26, 2024.

Unfortunately for Jules, Michael informs her that he's marrying Kimmy Wallace (Cameron Diaz). A heartbroken Jules, who realizes she's in love with Michael, goes to the wedding with her gay friend George (Rupert Everett) posing as her pretend fiancé — and schemes to break up the couple. The P.J. Hogan-directed movie ends on a bittersweet note, with Jules accepting that Michael is happy with Kimmy, as George supports her. Advertisement 'Oh my gosh, the whole thing was a dream,' Mulroney, 61, recalled of filming the movie. 'I knew even when I got the audition for it with Julia, like waiting in line with a whole bunch of other guys and I got the role,' he told The Post. 'I knew – and all of Hollywood knew – it was going to be an exceptional movie.' 6 Cameron Diaz, Dermot Mulroney, and Julia Roberts in 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' 6 Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney and Rupert Everett in 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' ©TriStar Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement What stands out the most to Mulroney is his 'lasting friendship with Julia' and 'credible connection with Rupert, Cameron and [Hogan] on the filming.' 'You can do a really tragic dramatic movie and still have tons of fun,' the 'Family Stone' star added, 'but I'll never forget those days in Chicago on that [movie].' Mulroney, who is also in the long-running NBC series 'Chicago Fire,' explained: 'I've returned to Chicago so many times, and [the memories from that movie] just keeps coming back to me. It has been a big part of my life.' 6 Dermot Mulroney in 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' ©TriStar Pictures/Courtesy Everett Colle / Everett Collection He added, 'It was a life-altering experience, there's no other way to describe it.' The cast of the film reunited for an Entertainment Weekly photo shoot in 2019. 'I just thought it was really clever and just funny. All the physical comedy I loved. Lots of falling down and falling through things, falling all over myself, falling over Dermot,' Roberts, 57, said at the time. 'The scene, for me, that made it feel so authentic and earnest is when I finally tell Dermot's character, 'Pick me. Let me make you happy.' Just that line: That's just so succinct and sweet and meaningful.' Advertisement Diaz, 52, quipped: 'I got to work with these folks and Julia. It was, like, a huge break for me.' 'My Best Friend's Wedding' opened to $21 million and ultimately ranked in a domestic gross of $127 million.

The Langbaan Team Will Open a Thai Restaurant (Potentially) in Pok Pok's SE Division Building
is the regional editor for Eater's Northern California/Pacific Northwest sites, writing about restaurant and bar trends, upcoming openings, and pop-ups for the San Francisco Bay Area, Portland, Seattle, and Denver. Fans of blind items may have been tickled to see an article from the Oregonian tease a possible new restaurant from the James Beard Award-winning Langbaan team, but it appears the news is true: Chef Akkapong 'Earl' Ninsom confirms that he, along with Eric Nelson and chef Sam Smith of Yaowarat, will open a new restaurant dubbed OK Chicken & Khaosoi. 'Our vision is to bring a Northern Thai dining experience back to Portland — something the city has been missing since early in the pandemic,' Ninsom writes in an email to Eater. While that news in itself is worthy of excitement, exactly where the restaurant may set up shop is, in itself, a surprise. While the team is still in the lease negotiation process, if all goes well, they will take over the former Pok Pok space at 3226 SE Division Street. A tentative opening date of winter 2025 is set. (Again, if things work out with the space.) 'We feel the location — with its existing Northern Thai feel and history — would be a perfect fit for the concept we're exploring,' Ninsom writes in an email to Eater. The exterior of Pok Pok, as seen on June 17, 2020. Bloomberg via Getty Images Ninsom shares that the team is exploring a restaurant 'that balances fun and approachability with a practical, sustainable model.' What that means is counter-service or bar-style ordering, with a simple order sheet for diners to fill out, before settling into a table. Ninsom points to this model as something the team has seen in their previous research trips. 'As for the concept itself — Northern Thai flavors, late-night energy, possibly with karaoke — we see it as a way to fill a gap while also creating a place that feels vibrant but operationally efficient,' Ninsom writes. 'It's still early, so we don't have firm timelines (hoping for this winter if all goes as planned).' Meanwhile, food reporters have been trying to parse out more details via the new restaurant's Instagram page. Ninsom, Nelson, and Smith highlighted some of the dishes they sampled on a recent trip, which the Oregonian reports was 'a research trip specifically to study Northern Thai cuisine, which had [been] Pok Pok's specialty.' Parsing through the photos, the Oregonian specifically pointed to a Pok Pok-like whole roasted chicken; the photos also tease laab muang, or Northern Thai-style laab, as well as som tum, and other dishes. The winner khao soi bowl of the trip, highlighted on the Instagram page, points to a Muslim version from Khao Soi Lung Surin in the Chiang Mai village of Doi Pui, per the caption. The team is already testing the namesake khao soi at Yaowarat's staff meal (of which all staff meals are diligently catalogued on @yaowaratpdx_staff_meal). Looks like you'll have to join the Yaowarat team to get an early taste, suggests Nelson, or wait patiently for the grand opening.
