"Julia Roberts has been hitting the event circuit hard to promote Eat, Pray, Love. Last week, she took a risk by donning shorts on the red carpet (88% of you voted the look a Do). This week she&amp;#x27;s showing her conservative side, turning up at a Tokyo press conference in a belted shift. She did pack a surprise, however. Check it out, after the jump. Giant green suede shoes! As astute observers of fashion have already noted, there&amp;#x27;s something Michelle Obama-esque about Julia&amp;#x27;s watercolor Dries Van Noten florals with its perfect-for-the-office elbow-grazing sleeves. Decidedly not First Lady-like, however: the major plats. I can only imagine how insanely tall the already statuesque actress (5&amp;#x27;9&amp;quot;) is in these skyscraper wedges. Overall, the outfit has polish and poise. The shoes lend the flattering illusion of extra leg length, balancing the totally covered-up vibe of dress. The effect is playful, tasteful and not-at-all-tacky. This would be easy to pull off in your own closet, too. Start with a belted shift in a pattern and pick out whatever color&amp;#x27;s got the most pop. Next, invest in a pair of super fun, super tall shoes in that color and voila&amp;amp;#8212;an insta-fresh way to give your office dress some personality!
