Julia Roberts was a proud aunt watching her niece Emma Roberts tie the knot with fiancé Cody John on Saturday, July 25.
The Oscar-winning actress, 58, was present in Sun Valley, Idaho over the weekend to watch Emma, 35, tie the knot with her longtime partner, also an actor.
She was joined by her husband Danny Moder, plus their three kids, twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, and youngest son Henry. And a new photo from the celebrations capture the jubilant mood.

Her honey blonde locks fell tousled to her shoulders, and she accessorized with tan sneakers and her glasses. “Twinning at one of My Best Friend’s @emmaroberts Wedding,” Michael quipped in his caption.
Why was Eric Roberts not at his daughter’s wedding?
While Julia’s entire family was at the outdoor nuptials, and Emma’s mother Kelly Cunningham was part of her daughter’s bridal party, Emma’s father and Julia’s brother, Eric Roberts, skipped the ceremony.
“I love my daughter, always have, always will,” he later told Page Six of why he wasn’t at the wedding. “It is perfectly wonderful for her to celebrate however she wants, with whomever she wants.”
Emma Roberts’ custom wedding dress
For the actual ceremony, while Cody wore a chocolate brown suit, his Scream Queens star bride wore a Monique Lhuillier custom white gown, per Vogue, with a lace shawl that came off for a sleeveless fit. She paired the airy white gown with a long white veil that also covered her eyes.
Speaking with Vogue about the dress, the actress explained: “I didn’t really know what I wanted. I just knew that I wanted it to feel very vintage-inspired.”

Monique Lhuillier also provided a second look for the actress, this time an archival piece from 2004, a black lace floor-length dress with a sheer corset top, perfect for dancing the night away at the after party.
