Julia Roberts didn’t miss the chance to celebrate her niece Emma Roberts’ intimate nuptials to now-husband Cody John.
Julia, 58, was spotted at the private Idaho residence where Emma’s wedding was held on Saturday, July 25, according to photos obtained by Page Six. One day earlier, Julia and husband Danny Moder were seen visiting the Gem State, per photos obtained by online gossip site DeuxMoi.
Emma, 35, and John, 36, said “I do” on Saturday in front of Julia, Moder, 57, and a small group of the pair’s closest friends and family members. Vogue reported that the American Horror Story actress enlisted her stylists, Brit and Kara Elkin, to serve as bridesmaids for the big day.
The Elkins were also present during Emma’s final bridal gown fitting with Monique Lhuillier alongside Emma’s mom, Kelly Cunningham, the actress’ sister, Grace Nickels, cousins Charlotte Long and Daphne Merrymen, as well as friends Ally Gasparian and Lily Kershaw.
Emma is Cunningham’s daughter with ex Eric Roberts, who has reportedly been estranged from the Maybe I Do star and his sister Julia for many years. (Eric and Julia also have another sister, Lisa Roberts Gillian, and it’s not known whether Eric and Lisa were in attendance at Emma’s wedding.)
Emma and John, who have been together since 2022, exchanged vows in an outdoor ceremony surrounded by dozens of white roses. John looked dapper in a burgundy suit for the occasion, while Emma looked elegant in her custom Lhuillier frock.
“I didn’t really know what I wanted [at first]. I just knew that I wanted it to feel very vintage-inspired,” Emma told Vogue of her dress inspiration. “I’m obsessed with antique books and treasure hunting, and I love collecting old ephemera, so I really wanted that to shine through in the dress.”
She continued at the time, “I kind of wanted to look like a ghost — a little antique ghost doll.”
Lhuillier, 54, fashioned Emma’s gown out of silk chiffon for an “ethereal, romantic and vintage-inspired” aesthetic.
“This gown took nine months to make, and I would say it took close to 1000 hours to complete,” the designer revealed to the outlet. “The beauty of this dress is it keeps transforming throughout the night.”
According to Lhuillier, the strapless gown was “convertible” thanks to an off-the-shoulder removable shawl. Emma later donned an archival black corset dress from the brand for the reception afterparty.
“I love the idea of wearing black for the afterparty,” Emma quipped. “We love doing something that’s a little unexpected. This looks like it could be totally vintage from 100 years ago, or from now. This is going to be so fun in Idaho at the afterparty.”
