I've never noticed this in any of her other films...but she's really ungraceful when they're shooting her clomping her way across that lobby in a couple scenes.
Was this the first time she'd even seen high heels??
I had the same thoughts. She was walking in a funny way. She didn't wear the high heels on the steps though.
It’s just so sad that the variety of the world should be used as a contentious issue.

Oh no, that makes it even worse! It was after she came off the staircase early on that I was first thinking "Did a car accident just seriously throw her spine out of alignment, or something?? She's walking like someone in a freakin' BODY CAST!!"
I haven't seen her in many films, actually just in this and in Pretty Woman come to think of. There she walks similar I believe. I was under the impression she did it on purpose for PW.

You know, I just watched this movie again recently and was again struck by her strange way of walking in a number of scenes. Very ungainly, especially in the scene where she is introduced coming down the stairs and stumping across the lobby. I would have half expected for them to shoot down to her feet and she would be clumping along in unlaced workboots.
Push the button, Max!
Roberts does it on purpose - it's in keeping with her character. Tess is with Benedict for the wrong reasons (angry at Danny Ocean) but she suppresses her discontent and puts on a happy face when necessary, probably in hopes that things will get better. However, her less than graceful comportment betrays her (sub?)conscious dissatisfaction.
You can tell it was deliberate on Roberts' part from the scene near the end showing Danny being arrested. When Tess runs to Danny as she realizes she still loves him, she's all of a sudden moving in lithesome harmony. Good nuance and subtlety from Julia Roberts here.

LOL I didn't notice it in this film. I'll have to take another look. She certainly had a strange walk in duplicity. There's even a thread about it. Or there was one a while ago.

same here. My mom would say, "looks like she's walking on plowed ground."
shareShe walks like a man.
shareBest analogy I've ever heard yet!!!
shareThat ungraceful llama looks like she was walking on railroad ties!
The validity of my answers is highly dependent on the intelligence of the question..or lack thereof.
