Julia Roberts, renowned for her humility and preference for privacy, has long kept her family life away from public attention. Yet her daughter Hazel recently drew widespread admiration after making her first red-carpet appearance, marking a rare glimpse into Roberts’ family world.

At just 16 years old, Hazel accompanied her father, cinematographer Daniel Moder, to the Cannes Film Festival in support of his work on Flag Day, directed by Sean Penn. Although Hazel wasn’t part of the film, her presence instantly captured media and public interest.

Dressed in a soft yellow lace gown paired with classic black Mary Jane heels, Hazel’s style radiated simple elegance. Her natural look—featuring minimal makeup and a neat ponytail—emphasized her youthful charm. Observers noted her strong resemblance to both parents, with features reminiscent of her mother’s warm expressions and her father’s refined looks.

Despite her brief moment in the spotlight, Hazel’s family remains intent on preserving her privacy. Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder have consistently prioritized keeping their children’s lives out of the public eye, fostering a normal upbringing despite their Hollywood surroundings.

Roberts has often spoken about her deliberate efforts to balance fame with family life. She has said that her greatest fulfillment comes from being a mother, and she values the everyday simplicity that keeps her grounded. Protecting her children from the pressures of celebrity culture remains one of her guiding principles.

In past interviews, Roberts has mentioned that her children are sometimes curious about her fame but do not fully grasp its magnitude. Even so, she aims to guide them with honesty, humility, and perspective as they mature in a world where fame and social media can easily blur boundaries.
