Holiday Issue Overview
The new issue of Miami Living Magazine arrives for the holiday season with a focus on togetherness, beauty, and design-forward living. Alongside its cover story on Julia Roberts, the magazine presents a curated mix of features on interiors, fashion, fine jewelry, performance vehicles, real estate, hospitality, food, wellness, and culture across Miami and beyond.
Julia Roberts Cover Story
The cover story examines Julia Roberts’ enduring presence both on-screen and in the beauty world. Known for roles from "Pretty Woman" to her recent appearance in Luca Guadagnino’s "After the Hunt," Roberts is portrayed as more than a film star—she is presented as a long-term partner of French beauty house Lancôme, under the L’Oréal Group.
The feature explores her multi-decade collaboration with Lancôme, including her role in promoting Rénergie C.R.x Triple Serum Retinol, and reflects on how such partnerships rarely endure for more than 15 years in today’s market. In a candid interview segment, Roberts recalls feeling intimidated by co-star Chloë Sevigny while working on "After the Hunt," underscoring that even global icons experience professional nerves.
Home And Design
In home and design, the issue highlights Poliform’s Ernest sofa by designer Jean-Marie Massaud, described as a sculptural modular system that emphasizes comfort and bold forms. The feature outlines how its configuration options suit contemporary interiors looking for both elegance and flexibility.
