00:00I mean, for me, it's more than hair.

00:02I think it's just a relationship.

00:04Don't make me start crying, honestly.

00:07I might, too.

00:09I'm Serge Normand.

00:11And I'm Julia Roberts.

00:12And we are here on the set of our Hollywood Reporter cover

00:15shoot.

00:16I can remember the day that we met.

00:18Like, it was yesterday.

00:19Me, too.

00:19And it was not yesterday.

00:21I was working on a movie, and I'd had a night shoot.

00:25I had never met Serge before.

00:28And walked into the trailer, and he's there.

00:31And a makeup artist who I'd never met before.

00:34I said, yeah, I'm so sorry.

00:35I'm very tired.

00:36And I just worked all night.

00:38And I sat down in the chair.

00:40Soon as Serge started touching my hair, you know,

00:42that feeling where it just is so relaxing.

00:44And I felt completely sound asleep and woke up, I don't know,

00:4945 minutes later, gorgeous.

00:52I was like, let's be friends forever.

00:54Sometimes we can be halfway through hair.

00:57And I'll say, what are we doing?

01:00What's going on back there?

01:02Just because there's trust.

01:03And we understand each other without really talking

01:06about it too much.

01:07We're so spontaneous about changes.

01:10And you've always been so brave about it.

01:12And I think I've never been scared because you've never

01:14been scared of changing.

01:15So it's like between colors and length.

01:19And we've just done, I think, a little bit of everything.

01:21I mean, except the first time you asked me to get it short.

01:24And you were like, baby.

01:27Sorry, we said baby.

01:28And then we were so happy about it.

01:30Yeah.

01:30We've just evolved along the way.

01:33We just like not being contrived about it, I think,

01:35and just being spontaneous.

01:36I think that's the best thing about it.

01:39That's so ladylike, right?

01:41I know.

01:41But we did that for quite a while.

01:42That's sweet.

01:43Remember like that one way of doing the side sweep was just

01:47like kind of like very Audrey Byrne-like.

01:50In some ways, like that kind of 60s-inspired beautiful dress.

01:54Nice makeup.

01:55And the store.

01:56That was all Serge.

01:57I had no input into this except for supplying the head.

02:00The thing is, do you remember the dress?

02:02Oscars are on a Sunday.

02:03And I tried this dress on on the Saturday.

02:06Debbie Mason found that dress for me in the Valentino

02:09basement.

02:09And it had only been worn once before, like 10 years

02:14earlier or something, in a photo shoot that Serge had done.

02:17Which happened to have done for the Valentino campaign.

02:20The whole connection with it was meant something.

02:22And that it fit.

02:23It needed no alterations.

02:25Yeah, it was just like a glove.

02:26It was kind of bizarre.

02:27Yeah.

02:28How that came together.

02:29So beautiful.

02:30And the hair.

02:30I mean, I don't know if I could do that again.

02:34Love.

02:34I love that.

02:35Yeah.

02:36I love that style.

02:37It's one of my favorites.

02:38This is like old, reliable.

02:41Yeah.

02:41Messy bun.

02:42Yeah, we always go back to that regularly.

02:44And I never get tired of it.

02:46Yeah, me either.

02:46Never.

02:47I like that color too.

02:48Maybe that's what we should be doing.

02:49I like that.

02:50See?

02:51You're inspiring us for change.

02:52See?

02:53See how it happens?

02:54It's just spontaneous.

02:55And that's how we do it.

02:56Can.

02:57Can.

02:58That was a moment.

02:59That was a moment.

03:00That was so nerve-wracking and exciting, getting ready for

03:04that.

03:05And I think we were all excited.

03:08And I had this beautiful Armani dress.

03:10And then the hair, and the jewels, and the moment.

03:14And as we're leaving, going down the hallway, and the seamstress

03:17is still sewing.

03:18Was finishing.

03:19Yeah.

03:20And it was just sort of...

03:21Yeah, it's all the behind the scenes that people don't

03:22always see, and then you're there.

03:23Yeah.

03:24And walking up, and the flowiness of the dress.

03:27I mean, it's just like everything was just like magical.

03:29That's nice here, Serge.

03:30Yeah, it's just like it's beautiful.

03:32When was that?

03:33I love that.

03:34Was that the Amphar event?

03:36How do I remember these things?

03:37I don't know.

03:38I love that look.

03:39I love that look too.

03:40But see, that's the perfect example.

03:41I mean, that's a sophisticated dress in some ways.

03:44So you kind of want to go a little bit against it.

03:46And I love that we've never really done such a...

03:49Like almost like you could have done it yourself.

03:51Which I love that feeling, and it doesn't look like you've tried so hard.

03:56I couldn't do any of these things by myself, just to say.

04:00I just love that look.

04:01I like that too.

04:02Oh, I love that look.

04:04Yeah.

04:05Was that Toronto?

04:06Yes.

04:07I love the dress.

04:08It's sort of complementing the outfit with the hairstyle.

04:12Yeah, and we had not done it that straight with a little volume.

04:16And, you know, there's a little period touch to it with the little bump on the top,

04:20but it doesn't look retro.

04:22It's always like the fine line there.

04:24Like I'm trying to look at, you know, hairdos that were once and then adapting it to today

04:29and making it look contemporary.

04:31That's nice.

04:33Rewearing that dress, which I had worn to the Ticket to Paradise premiere,

04:39with my hair slicked behind my ears, and the dress was to the floor for the premiere.

04:46And then I wore it again at this event, and we had shortened the dress, my hair was shorter,

04:53and we just sort of re-envisioned the dress.

04:56Yeah, I love it.

04:57Re-envisioned the hairstyle.

04:58You know what was great was the Colbert hair.

05:00That was great hair.

05:01Yeah, which we had never done.

05:03Well, we never really do things that are that as a bun.

05:06With that whole outfit, which was also quite graphic and such a great suit,

05:11and so we just did something like a little higher.

05:13That's real lady hair right there.

05:15Yeah, but with the suit, see to me, it's very feminine,

05:19but with a masculine feminine suit, it just all works for me.

05:23Yeah.

05:24So recent, and I'm looking at it, I'm like, oh.

05:27Yeah.

05:28We're so nostalgic.

05:30Yeah.

05:31I mean, for me, it's more than hair.

05:33I think it's just a relationship.

05:35Don't make me start crying, honestly.

05:37I might too.

05:40No, it's just the truth.

05:42It's just like, I think you're never good on your own, and I've been very lucky.

05:47I mean, you know, when people say, oh my God, you know, you have a little talent,

05:52you look what you're working on, and it's people helping you just to go up

05:58and be better at what you do, and the trust, it's just like, there's nothing like it.

06:03Hmm.
