Julia Roberts appeared in a simple, understated outfit while filming emotional scenes for August: Osage County in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
On set, Roberts and her co-star Ewan McGregor were actively shooting their latest project on Thursday.
The actress delivered a powerful and tearful performance as Barbara Weston, a woman struggling with her family’s turmoil following the disappearance of their alcoholic father.
In real life, Julia, who shares three children with her husband, cinematographer Daniel Moder, wore a layered look featuring a white blouse over a cream top paired with loose-fitting blue jeans.
Her long brunette hair was styled plainly to suit her role. During a particularly intense scene, Ewan’s character held her hand as they approached a dock to identify a deceased person alongside the local sheriff.
The Pretty Woman star appeared quite plain during the emotionally charged moment of body identification.
Upon seeing the corpse, Julia’s character broke down in tears and sought comfort in Ewan McGregor’s character, Bill Fordham, continuing to sob.
Despite the scene’s emotional intensity, Roberts was seen laughing and sharing light moments between takes.
She was joined by Julianne Nicholson, who appeared to enjoy some playful banter with the cast.
The Boardwalk Empire actress also sported a modest look, wearing a blue shirt and brown flared pants with her hair tied back in a ponytail.
Other prominent cast members in the 2013 drama include Benedict Cumberbatch as Little Charles Aiken and Meryl Streep as Violet Weston.
According to the film’s IMDb listing, Renée Zellweger and Andrea Riseborough were initially up for a role.
Though Riseborough was cast, she later withdrew due to scheduling issues, and Juliette Lewis took over the part of Ka.
