Julia Roberts' dress draws extreme reaction

To Gawker, she's "the chicest hostess this Red Lobster has ever employed."

To Cosmo, she looks like she's "going to a business meeting circa 2002."

To Net-a-Porter, Julia Roberts nailed her black-and-white "menswear meets monochrome" look from Dolce & Gabbana.

To us, it's a confusing red carpet clash of Sharon Stone button down and standard-issue strapless column.

Roberts, for the record, seems smitten by the curious office carpet-meets-red carpet ensemble. She nixed four or five others in favor it.

"This just seemed like, that's what I'm looking for," she told Ryan Seacrest.
