Fashion designer Valentino Garavani has slammed Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz, for dressing like "bag ladies". The Italian clothes designer believes modern day stars should always look glamorous and has singled out the two actresses for dressing down as soon as they are off the red carpet.
The designer told German newspaper Die Ziet: "Today you see Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz running around looking unkempt in jogging trousers, they look like bag ladies, like homeless people. "In the past, actresses had to commit in their contracts to appear in public like stars when they left their homes."
The Italian designer made his name in the 1960s and still designs for the Valentino fashion group. He dresses actress Gwyneth Paltrow and is often seen with her at red-carpet events such as the Venice film festival. Valentino also designed the wedding dress worn by Jacqueline Kennedy for her marriage to Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis.
