Angelina Jolie turned heads with a stunning appearance in New York City, showcasing both a new hairstyle and a chic velvet dress as she championed her forthcoming movie, Maria. She attended the event at the Directors Guild of America, where she presented the film based on the life of celebrated opera vocalist Maria Callas.
For the occasion, Jolie opted for a sophisticated floor-length black velvet dress, which featured a modest round neckline and a gently flared skirt. Her ensemble was complemented by a stylish beige trench coat with wide lapels and a belt that cinched at her waist, adding structure to her look. The actress kept things elegant with classic pointed-toe stiletto pumps, choosing to skip jewelry except for a simple yellow gold ring on her right hand.
Jolie’sher makeup was subtle, accentuating her natural features with winged eyeliner, subtle lash liner, and a soft coral lipstick. Her hair, traditionally dark, was recently lightened to a sandy blonde, giving her a fresh, softer look.
Though she appeared slightly fatigued, Jolie took time to engage with fans, signing a few posters before quickly moving past the crowd. She briefly paused to wave at the gathering before entering the building.
The star is already receiving buzz for her performance in Maria, where she depicts a legendary figure in 20th-century opera. Directed by Pablo Larrain, the film tells the story of Callas’ dramatic life following the soprano’s return to France after a life filled with fame and controversy. Maria Callas, who passed away in 1977 at 53, is remembered as one of the greatest voices in opera.
Jolie, who won her first Oscar in 2000 for Best Supporting Actress in Girl, Interrupted, has been nominated several times throughout her career. She was also nominated for Best Actress in 2009. Jolie has earned numerous awards and recognitions throughout her illustrious career.
After recently being awarded her first Tony, Jolie is now on her way to joining the exclusive EGOT club, which recognizes individuals who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award. Only 21 people in history have achieved this feat, and with just an Emmy and a Grammy left to win, Jolie is one step closer to this prestigious honor.
