Julia RobertsandSean Pennhit the red carpet looking like power players.
The actors both donned suits for the New York City premiere of the political thriller limited seriesGasliton Monday night.
Roberts, 54, looked chic in a gray and white plaid ensemble with short pants and complemented the look with a pair of classic black pumps. Penn, 61, wore a traditional black suit with a matching tie as they posed for pictures outside of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In an interview withThe New York Times Magazinethat was published Friday, Roberts — who will also star in the upcoming romantic comedy filmTicket to Paradise, set to be released in October — said that she’s really enjoyed her recent film and television projects.
“To go fromJohn and Martha Mitchell[inGaslit], to play these scenes with the greatest dramatic actor, I think, of my generation inSean Penn, and then run around Australia withGeorge [Clooney]playing these very funny scenes [inTicket to Paradise] — I’m living my acting dreams,” she said.
The actress also revealed why shehasn’t taken on another rom-comin recent years — and clarified that she wouldn’t be opposed to doing more if the right scripts came along.
“If I had read something that I thought was thatNotting Hilllevel of writing orMy Best Friend’s Weddinglevel of madcap fun, I would do it. They didn’t exist until this movie [Ticket to Paradise] that I just did that Ol Parker wrote and directed.”
Roberts stars alongside Clooney as a divorced couple who tries to prevent their daughter (Kaitlyn Dever) from making the same mistake they did after she decides to marry a stranger on a trip to Bali with her best friend Wren (Billie Lourd).
“But even with that, I thought, well, disaster, because this only works if it’s George Clooney. Lo and behold, George felt it only worked with me. Somehow we were both able to do it, and off we went,” she said.

Earlier this month, while promotingGaslit, Roberts reminisced onMy Best Friend’s Weddingnearly 25 years since the film’s release. “So many people have someone that they can see themselves as in the movie, and I also just think that we really got lucky coming together,” she said in an interview withE!Daily Pop.
“None of us knew each other before we made the movie, and we just had a really great chemistry,” she told E!. “It just worked. I mean, we all really liked each other.”
