Julia Ormond

Julia Ormond is a striking British actress who managed to leave a noticeable mark both in cinema and theater. Irresistible on screen, she is a style icon for many fashionistas in real life. What are the secrets of Julia Ormond's beauty, how does her personal life coexist with such a successful career? Find out in our article!

Julia Ormond was born on January 4, 1965, in the town of Epsom, located in England. Her parents are housewife Josephine and computer manager John Ormond. While the future TV star was growing up, a lot had changed in her family: from a modest life, she suddenly switched to a luxurious one, when the father of the family suddenly became rich; but already in the 1970s, John and Josephine divorced, and Julia, along with her sister and mother, had to wean themselves from life in the mansion of their millionaire father.

Young Julia Ormond showed a cocky character and preferred to spend time with boys rather than girls and dolls. Julia was fond of boyish sports, in particular, field hockey. And the girl also gravitated towards art: Julia took over from her mother a talent for drawing and diligently developed it, and also often took part in school theatrical performances.

Oddly enough, at first Julia did not plan to be an actress by profession. She even entered the School of the Arts after high school to eventually become an artist. But, having studied one course, Julia Ormond still decided to change her orientation.

Realizing her true calling, Julia dropped out of her craft studies and entered the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts, which she successfully graduated in 1988. The first decade after graduation, Julia Ormond's acting career was best developed in the field of big cinema. She adorned many famous films of that period with her presence:

• 1991 - "Young Catherine"
• 1992 - Stalin
• 1993 - Child of Macon
• 1994 - Legends of Autumn
• 1995 - The First Knight
• 1995 - Sabrina
• 1997 - Smilla's Snowy Feeling
• 1998 - The Barber of Siberia

After the release of the film Smilla's Snowy Feeling, which turned out to be a failure, Julia began to get more and more secondary roles: The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Button, 7 Days and Nights with Marilyn.

So, gradually she began to participate more and more in television projects: "C.S.I .: Crime Scene Investigation New York", "Law & Order: Malicious Intent", "Sister Jackie". The winner of several awards and awards, Julia Ormond today occupies a kind of stratum of the film industry: although her roles are mostly of a secondary or episodic nature, she regularly appears on the screen. And the actress often has a job in the cinema, so her career can be considered very successful.

In 1989, Julia Ormond married her craft colleague, the popular actor Rory Edwards. However, this marriage was short-lived, and the couple divorced in 1995.

Julia Ormond's second marriage became more successful: in 1999, she tied her fate with John Rubin, a political activist. In the fall of 2004, the couple had a daughter.

Julia herself, like her second husband, takes an active civic position. On December 2, 2005, she became a UN Goodwill Ambassador.

This year the actress turned 52 years old. And a couple of years ago, in one of her interviews, she said: "I am fifty, do not demand an ideal appearance from me!" This phrase contains the whole attitude of Julia to herself and to her appearance. She soberly understands how old she is, and how a woman should and can look at this age.

Like many actresses, Julia always shows off her gorgeous evening gowns on the red carpet. The first example is a total black look. An elegant dress to the floor at the top and on the sleeves is slightly decorated with rhinestones, and a similar decor has a miniature clutch. The dress is completely closed, the neckline is oval, shallow - in general, the image is very modest, but at the same time not boring.

And in the next photo we see a more relaxed outfit, but still within the bounds of decency. Again, a black dress to the floor, but this time it is held on one shoulder of a charming actress, has a restrained but original decor: ruffles, ruffles, a shiny brooch. Shoes in this outfit are matched to the dress, and the clutch - for a decorative brooch and bracelet - silver.

The third outfit is a dress that is very similar to the previous one, but looks completely different. There is one sleeve here, there are no decorative elements. Please note that only the modesty and minimalism of this dress allows the actress to wear more open and original shoes. In other outfits of Julia Ormond, where there are enough bright elements, shoes are always as closed and simple as possible.

The beauty of this outfit is that it fits almost everywhere: on the red carpet, in the office, and at a friend's birthday party. The image is built on three colors - classic black, refreshing gold and a very relevant shade of red today - fiesta. Take a closer look at this outfit, everything is perfect here: the style of the jacket and trousers, the length of the trousers, the model of shoes that you need to choose for an informal trouser suit, how you should wear jewelry with such an outfit. All burning brown-haired women definitely need to take note of this image.

The next bow is an option for courageous people. Not sure how to include bright shoes in your everyday outfit? It's simple: just choose the most neutral suit, and then your shoes will become a spectacular highlight, and not a lurid spot. This set contains simple beige cotton trousers, straight cut, standard length.The classic white shirt is also made in the most trivial solution, however, a non-classic combination is still visible through it - a bodice in a contrasting dark color. The clutch is made in the same tone - an almost invariable companion of Ormond. And here she is - the main "feature" of the image - a pair of shiny, open, deep purple shoes!

Any young fashionista can envy Julia Ormond's gracefulness. After all, the actress with the same grace wears both trouser outfits and such luxurious dresses. The combination of rich cream and black lace this season will be very appropriate for any celebration. And such a dress, which Julia once demonstrated at the prestigious film awards, will adorn any fashionista committed to a romantic style. Fishtail hem, floor length, open shoulders - these are all timeless trends for the coming spring / summer season.

The charming Julia can easily manage monochromatic ensembles. Even if we are not talking about a win-win "total black", the luxurious brown-haired woman demonstrates high style. In the photo below, the actress is dressed in an elegant floor-length dress, illustrating another very important rule: if you want to demonstrate a deep neckline, please, but otherwise the outfit should be as modest as possible. The sleeve here is shortened, wide, but if the shoulders are closed, we can assume that the cherished rule has been observed. There are also a minimum of decorative elements here, only a thin belt with a bow, emphasizing the chest. Clutch to match the dress. Another important detail is natural makeup and the absence of a bright manicure.

Another dress in which Julia Ormond resembles a mermaid from some fabulous sea country. This image has firmly returned to fashion, so you can safely take it into service. The rich fuchsia of the dress is juxtaposed with the gold of a clutch and a stylish bracelet. A great option for an evening dress for all owners of lush feminine forms.

The next alongside is characterized by youthful spontaneity and some childishness. On the red carpet, he may not belong. But for a relaxed walk on a hot summer day, such a dress will come in handy. Animal prints have been trending for several seasons, and in this case, Julia is showing off a giraffe look. This is one of the few cases when the actress's outfit can hardly be called indicative. Beige shoes do not look very advantageous here, and their massiveness does not go well with light fabrics and the style of the dress. Either tough contrasts are required, such as rough black tractor-soled shoes, graceful peach heels, or oxfords or loafers in white to brick brown. In general, such a dress has a right to exist, it just needs to be provided with the right "company".

And again, a show outfit, and again it is total black. Classic trousers and a long blazer, a padded crew-neck top and luxury high-heeled shoes with an open toe. In this look, Julia again demonstrates natural makeup. But if this is an evening out, then dark nail cancer and rich lipstick color will not harm here.

Another dark, but not gloomy outfit, which is made interesting by the silver strap and adorable ring on the actress's ring finger. The clutch here repeats the gamut of the dress, but silver shoes are better suited.

At the premiere of The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Button, Julia Ormond showed her signature image: a black floor-length dress, in which a belt traditionally emphasizes the waist and chest. This time Julia decided to combine a dress with an open top with flat shoes - these are simple sandals. The result is a bow in the Greek style. The invariable clutch is designed in the color of the outfit - black. A great option for a summer evening out.

The following outfit is another example of how to balance the look with a plunging neckline within the bounds of decency.The length of the dress is up to the middle of the calf, the shoulders are closed, the cut is fitted. Option for a cool evening: a raincoat is worn on a white dress with large black polka dots, repeating both the cut, and the length, and even the shape of the neckline of the dress. Open shoes and rather bright makeup are allowed here - all this has a place to be here, since a competent combination of color, style and length saves such an image from vulgarity or vulgarity.

The features of the actress's figure allow her to always look perfect in this particular image: length - to the floor, open shoulders, color - black. The dress that Julia demonstrates below differs from the ones often found in her style by the absence of a belt and an almost straight cut.

To simple, informal, practical outfits, Julia Ormond also easily says "Yes!"

The actress looks especially impressive in dresses of such fashionable colors as burgundy, lush grass, lavender or lavender.

Colorful solutions also play into the hands of the actress - such prints on the fabric of the dress only emphasize the dignity of her feminine figure. And the contrasting black and silver components of this look make it fun.

Translucent fabrics - an indisputable trend for the coming eternity - are also actively used by the actress in her stylish looks. This is most often manifested in her favorite color - classic black.
