Before we dig into Miami Living’s latest issue, our entire team would like to wish you, your family, friends, and little furry ones (if you have one), a healthy and warm holiday season. With that spirit of togetherness in mind, this issue turns to a familiar warm face—Julia Roberts, who has spent nearly four decades not only acting, but also navigating beauty, and self-acceptance in the public eye.

As our cover star, Roberts is presented not simply as a movie star, but as a steady presence in her ongoing long partnership with Lancôme. While it is, at its core, a commercial endorsement from the French beauty house under the L’Oréal Group, partnerships that last more than 15 years are increasingly rare. In a different, but equally rare moment of candor, Roberts shares a disarming story from her latest film, After the Hunt, recalling how she found herself intimidated by Chloë Sevigny—a reminder that even global icons can feel the same nerves we all do.

Here’s what awaits you in this issue!

HOME & DESIGN

For the home, we highlight Poliform’s Ernest sofa by designer Jean-Marie Massaud—an elegant, sculptural sofa system defined by bold modularity and an emphasis on comfort. Alongside it, Fendi Home presents a selection of beds centered on clean lines, soft materials, and subtle detailing, offering a quiet, refined approach to contemporary bedroom design.

FASHION

We spotlight three standout Spring 2026 collections from Chanel, Givenchy, and McQueen. Chanel blends classic tailoring with relaxed silhouettes, Givenchy focuses on sharp lines, precision, and texture, while McQueen takes a more sculptural approach—balancing structure and movement to create a refined harmony between strength and softness.

COVER STORY

In the world of acting, few names carry as much instant recognition as Julia Roberts. From Pretty Woman to her most recent turn in Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt, her presence has long extended beyond the screen — her smile gracing countless movie posters and magazine covers, and now Lancôme’s Rénergie C.R.x Triple Serum Retinol. We explore this partnership with the French beauty house, followed by a candid conversation with Roberts about her latest film, After the Hunt.
