Julia Roberts joined by entire family at Emma Roberts' Idaho wedding
Emma Roberts, 35, exchanged vows with actor Cody John on Saturday, July 25, on his family estate in Sun Valley, Idaho. The intimate outdoor ceremony, attended by close family and friends, included Emma's famous aunt, Julia Roberts, 58.
Julia, who is Emma's aunt and credited with inspiring her acting career, attended the nuptials with her husband, Danny Moder, and their three children: twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, 19, and Henry, 17. Snaps captured the proud aunt and uncle beaming from their seats after the ceremony. Julia and her daughter Hazel twinned in semi-sheer polka dot dresses with voluminous sleeves, while Danny and his two sons opted for sleek suits in different colors. All guests were pictured holding delicate white parasols to block the heat.
The groom, Cody, known for his roles in In the Dark and Wu-Tang: An American Saga, wore a chocolate brown suit. Emma, the daughter of Kelly Cunningham and Eric Roberts (Julia's older brother), wore a Grecian-style Monique Lhuillier custom gown with a lace shawl that could be removed for a sleeveless fit. She paired the airy white gown with a long white veil that also covered her eyes. Her five-year-old son, Rhodes, walked her down the aisle.
Emma was previously in an on-and-off relationship with her American Horror Story co-star Evan Peters for several years. She then dated musician Garrett Hedlund for three years, with whom she welcomed her son Rhodes. She debuted her romance with Cody in 2022, and the couple announced their engagement in July 2024.
Speaking about her wedding dress, the Scream Queens actress explained, "I didn't really know what I wanted. I just knew that I wanted it to feel very vintage-inspired." She added, "I'm obsessed with antique books and treasure hunting, and I love collecting old ephemera, so I really wanted that to shine through in the dress. I kind of wanted to look like a ghost – a little antique ghost doll." The custom gown took "nine months to make, and I would say it took close to 1000 hours to complete."
Monique Lhuillier also provided a second look for the actress: an archival piece from a 2004 collection, a black lace floor-length dress with a sheer corset top, perfect for dancing at the after-party. "I love the idea of wearing black for the after-party," Emma gushed at her final fitting. "We love doing something that's a little unexpected. This looks like it could be totally vintage from 100 years ago, or from now. This is going to be so fun in Idaho at the after-party." The We're the Millers star noted that she felt like an "elfin fairy" when she first tried on the dress.
