Roberts gave her fans a glimpse into New York City getting ready for Christmas with decorations all around.
She posted a photo of a massive holiday-themed clock for Christian Dior and Saks, as well as a video of passersby admiring it.
She captioned the snap, “City sidewalks…dressed in holiday style. The season is on in NYC. 34 days til Christmas. Are you ready?”
However, fans noted the fact that it was edited after being posted, denoting that there was a previous version of the caption.
