Looks like the 2014 Academy Awards will be missing one very famous redhead. Sure, Julia Roberts will be at this weekend's big event but she won't be rocking her famous fiery hair color. Why? Because she's gone back to blond.

Yes, over the weekend the August: Osage County star was spotted in Los Angeles sporting a very golden, very high ponytail. While the star had lighter ends at the 2014 SAG Awards (one might call it a subtle ombré style), now all of her signature red strands have got the full dye job.

Roberts likes to test out the blond look every so often. She has done so with frequency in the last few years including most recently in June of 2011. No doubt E!'s own Ryan Seacrest or Giuliana Rancic will find out the reasons behind her new hue on Sunday's red carpet. 

This is the first time the Oscar winner—who looked subdued in all black attire, block clogs, and dark sunglasses—has been photographed since news broke that her half sister Nancy Motes' was found dead of apparent drug overdose. Roberts has not spoken publicly about the family tragedy.
