Jessica Alba may have just delivered one of her most unexpected fashion combinations yet. The actress recently took fans behind the scenes of a Movado photoshoot, revealing a playful styling choice that never made it into the final campaign images.
Sharing a “Flashback Friday” post on Instagram, Alba gave followers a glimpse at the shoot she did with Hollywood icon Julianne Moore for the watch brand’s campaign.
“#FBF—a beautiful day on set with the icon herself @juliannemoore and our @movado fam,” Alba wrote in the caption, celebrating the brand’s timeless designs and craftsmanship.
In the photos, Alba looked effortlessly elegant in a slinky satin maxi dress styled with a sleek gold watch and classic hoop earrings. But the glamorous ensemble came with an unexpected twist: a pair of Ugg ankle boots.
Although the cozy boots were cropped out of the final campaign shots, Alba’s behind-the-scenes images offered a fun reminder that even high-fashion looks can involve a comfortable change of shoes between takes.
The actress has become increasingly generous about sharing glimpses of her work behind the scenes. Just a few months earlier, she posted a mini vlog documenting a magazine cover shoot for Vogue Latinoamérica, where she modeled designs by Willy Chavarria.
In another TikTok shared in October, Alba showed fans what goes into getting ready for a major photoshoot. Before her hair and makeup were done, she underwent a detailed skincare routine that included an eye mask and red light therapy to help give her complexion a fresh, radiant appearance.
Her beauty look was equally glamorous. Alba’s highlighted hair was styled into soft curls inspired by classic Old Hollywood, while her makeup featured taupe eyeshadow and a rich berry-colored lip.
The actress also embraced the holiday spirit around the same time. A week earlier, she shared a preview of a Christmas special connected to her Roku series, Honest Renovations, which she hosts alongside Lizzy Mathis.
For the promotional video, Alba and Mathis traded their usual renovation attire for festive outfits. Alba chose a striking red dress decorated with crystal embellishments around the neckline and straps, along with a sparkling keyhole detail that added even more holiday glamour.
The special, titled Honest Renovations: A Holiday Home Makeover, brought the duo together for another festive home transformation and was made available to stream for free on the Roku Channel.
From glamorous satin gowns to unexpected Ugg boots and elaborate holiday looks, Alba continues to prove that her personal style is anything but predictable. Her behind-the-scenes posts also give fans a closer look at the actress beyond the polished final images, showing the fun, relaxed moments that happen before the cameras roll.
