The Oscar-winning actress, 58, was spotted outside the historic Jane Hotel in Manhattan's West Village alongside her youngest son, Henry Moder, who recently turned 19. The birthday boy has grown noticeably taller than his famous mom, making the outing all the more striking.

Roberts looked effortlessly elegant for the casual family gathering, wearing a tailored black blazer paired with a pearl necklace and prescription glasses. She completed the look with a large green-and-black handbag, keeping the rest of her outfit understated and polished.

Henry kept things simple in an all-black T-shirt, blue jeans, and black boots as he joined his mother for the birthday celebration.

Also on hand was Roberts' daughter, Hazel Moder, 21, who appeared relaxed and stylish alongside her mother and younger brother. Hazel is one half of the twins Roberts shares with husband Danny Moder. Her twin brother, Phinnaeus, was not present for the outing.

Julia Roberts Has Long Kept Her Children Out of the Spotlight

The family get-together offered an unusually rare look at Roberts' personal life. Despite spending more than three decades as one of Hollywood's most recognizable stars, the actress has long kept her children out of the public eye.

Roberts met cinematographer Danny Moder in 2000 while filming The Mexican. At the time, she was dating actor Benjamin Bratt, while Moder was married to makeup artist Vera Steimberg. After both relationships ended, Roberts and Moder began dating and later married in July 2002.

Over the years, Roberts has frequently spoken about the importance of balancing her career with family life, often describing the home she and Moder built together as one of her greatest joys. While she has continued to take on high-profile projects, including acclaimed films such as Leave the World Behind and After the Hunt, she has remained fiercely protective of her children's privacy.

Fans Are Stunned by How Much Henry Moder Has Grown

That is what made this New York outing especially noteworthy. Beyond the rare family appearance, fans could not help but notice just how much Henry has grown. Roberts previously referred to him as a "very tall" teenager in a heartfelt birthday tribute she shared when he turned 17.
