Angelina Jolie, queen of cheekbones and cinematic flair, is squeezing in a little “me time” amid the whirl of promoting her new film Maria! And honestly, who knew opera could generate this much excitement?
After slaying the red carpet at the 2024 AFI Fest over the weekend — where she portrayed the legendary diva Maria Callas (yes, Callas, not “call us maybe”) — the 49-year-old actress graced Beverly Hills on Monday night (October 28) looking as effortlessly chic as ever.
Now, let’s talk about her lewk at the premiere. Angelina threw us all for a loop with voluminous, movie-star curls that screamed, “Yes, I can be glamorous AND unpredictable!” It was as if her hair had a standing ovation of its own. But don’t worry — our beloved, brooding, style icon didn’t stray too far from her signature vibe. By Monday’s outing, she was back to her usual sophisticated glamour, just with a smirk that said, “Yeah, I can do both.”
Her ensemble was, of course, a chef’s kiss to understated elegance. She wore a taupe high-neck dress that whispered, “I’m fancy, but make it effortless,” with matching heels because Angelina is not out here playing mismatched games. And let’s not forget that long black coat that probably doubles as a cape when no one’s looking. Throw in some soft waves and hoop earrings, and you’ve got a woman who looks like she could either close a billion-dollar movie deal or dramatically sip tea while pondering your life choices. Iconic, right?
And let’s not sleep on Maria! Critics are already buzzing with Oscar predictions — and for good reason. If the trailer alone could win awards, Angelina would already have another shiny trophy to add to her collection. With its limited theater release on November 27 and Netflix drop on December 11, it’s clear: you’ll either be in a theater or on your couch, but either way, Maria will find you.
So, as Angelina glides through her red carpets and Beverly Hills streets like a glamorous ghost of Hollywood past, one thing is certain: This woman knows how to juggle opera, Oscar buzz, and taupe dresses without breaking a sweat. Brava! 🎭
