Whatever the 90s trend, Julia Roberts did it first and did it better.

Happy Birthday Julia Roberts! Today the movie icon turns 53 and a few years have passed since her iconic roles in films&nbsp;Notting Hill, Pretty Woman&nbsp;and My Best Friend&#39;s Wedding&nbsp;were screened, in iconic looks such as her in&nbsp;a baby blue cardigan set while uttering the words&nbsp;&ldquo;I&rsquo;m just a girl standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her,&rdquo;&nbsp;in Notting Hill.

Off screen, the actress has modelled some pretty iconic looks during her 90s heyday.&nbsp;Minimal, casual and irreverent, her&nbsp;style is still unmistakable today. Ahead, we chart&nbsp;a selection of Julia Roberts&#39;&nbsp;best fashion moments to be inspired from,&nbsp;and which we would gladly wear&nbsp;today.

In oversized blazer and cycling shorts, and her signature curly hair.

Vans sneakers, leather blazer, beret and Jackie bag ... is there anything more in trend than this?

Julia Roberts was doing it before it was cool:&nbsp;proudly show off her unshaved armpits, a&nbsp; beautiful, feminist gesture, which happened long before such&nbsp;collective awareness&nbsp;took place.

Maxi coats, sneakers, wool cap and round glasses: isn&#39;t that the way we dress for a walk or a quick errand?

If you don&#39;t already know, oversized blazers are a trademark look of&nbsp;Roberts. It&#39;s the perfect way to look put together and casual at the same time. Here, she pairs it with shorts for some sexy suiting.&nbsp;
