For , style has become an extension of the life she’s choosing to live.
As she returns to the cover of METRO wearing Onitsuka Tiger’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the actress embraces a season of comfort, intention, and quiet confidence. It’s one where getting dressed is no longer about impressing others, but about feeling at ease and at peace in her own skin.
At 29, Julia continues to evolve both on- and off-screen. While new and exciting projects keep her busy, she’s also learning to slow down, prioritize peace, and make space for what matters most. It’s a mindset that beautifully mirrors Onitsuka Tiger’s latest collection, where timeless craftsmanship meets effortless movement, proving that style and comfort can exist in perfect harmony.
