Taking a walk on the wild side! Julia Roberts embraces her animal instincts in a leopard-print frock as she's honoured at GLSEN Respect Awards

She's rumoured to be in the midst of a split from her husband Danny Moder.

But amid any marital woes, Julia Roberts was a stunning sight to behold as she attended the GLSEN Respect Awards in Beverly Hills, California on Friday.

The 46-year-old actress showed her wild side in a fun A-line leopard frock that complemented her sunkissed skin.

The Pretty Woman star paired her neutral dress with studded beige pumps and some simple metallic accessories.

Adding to her coquettish vibe, Julia styled her strawberry locks in loose waves and opted for subtle yet dramatic eye make-up.

On the red carpet, the award-winning actress was spotted in a reddish orange coat, livening up her animal print piece.

The star was one of the honourees of the evening, receiving the humanitarian award.

She was meant to accept the award with husband of 12 years Danny, but the 45-year-old cinematographer didn't appear to be at the event.

Perhaps he was dodging the cameras, as reports have been circulating about a pending separation.

She continued, 'Robert Greenblatt, who, as the only gay broadcast television chairman, is a role model for LGBT youth.

'...and Derek Hough, who has brought the same grace he displays on Dancing with the Stars to his efforts to fight bullying.'
