Julia Roberts, known for her grounded lifestyle and commitment to privacy, made an exception recently as her 16-year-old daughter, Hazel Roberts, stepped into the spotlight for the first time. Making her red carpet debut, Hazel turned heads at the Cannes Film Festival, where she attended alongside her father, cinematographer Daniel Moder, in support of his work on the Sean Penn-directed film Flag Day.
Though not involved in the film herself, Hazel’s appearance drew widespread attention. Dressed in a delicate yellow lace gown paired with classic black Mary Jane heels, she radiated elegance. Her minimal makeup and simple ponytail added to her youthful charm, and many onlookers noted her strong resemblance to both of her famous parents—some pointing to Julia’s signature features, others to Daniel’s striking looks.
Despite this rare public appearance, Hazel’s future plans remain private, in line with the family’s efforts to shield their children from media exposure. Julia Roberts has long prioritized a low-profile family life, even at the height of her career, emphasizing the importance of keeping her children grounded.
In past interviews, Roberts has opened up about her kids’ occasional curiosity regarding her fame, highlighting how the concept of celebrity feels different across generations. Still, she continues to focus on offering steady guidance as her children grow up in a world where fame is more visible—and accessible—than ever.
