Julia Roberts may be sporting blonder hair these days, but fans still know and love her as a redhead.

The Ticket to Paradise actress momentarily took fans back to her redheaded days, as she shared a throwback photo in which she is sporting her auburn hair, styled in a middle part with waves.

She took to Instagram on Tuesday to celebrate a special someone, celebrity and fashion communications specialist and Marquis owner Youssef Marquis, in honor of his birthday.

Julia shared a photo in which she is posing next to the birthday boy, wearing a black blouse with ruffled sleeves, taken by another beloved member of her team, her stylist Elizabeth Stewart, who also has Jessica Chastain, Cate Blanchett, Gal Gadot, Viola Davis and Amanda Seyfried, among others, in her client list.

"Happiest of birthdays @lamarquisette! Couldn't adore you more!" Julia wrote in her caption, and Elizabeth herself wrote in the comments section under the post: "Happy birthday," alongside a red heart emoji.

Julia first shared another photo seemingly from the same day, a radiant selfie, back in November of last year, when she was promoting her Netflix sci-fi thriller Leave the World Behind.

"The Sanford Family. We just wanted a nice getaway…" she wrote in the caption then, teasing the movie's vacation gone wrong plot.
