At the premiere of her film Maria, which took place on Saturday, October 26, at the AFI Film Festival in Los Angeles, the diva, who is 49 years old, looked as regal as she always does. She wore a long silk gown in a nude colour and a lightweight black jacket in the shape of a shawl.
On the other hand, there was a surprising break from her typical red carpet look in the form of her wavy hair. Despite the fact that the actress wore her hair curled when she appeared in the September issue of CR Fashion Book, she normally wears her hair straight or in a sophisticated updo when she walks the red carpet. However, on October 26, she chose to wear her hair in a style that had beachy curls that were voluminous and done with a side parting.
Drop earrings, strong red lipstick, and delicate eye makeup with just a dab of eyeshadow and black eyeliner were the accessories that Jolie wore to compliment her new appearance for the red carpet. To get the spectacular image she wanted to achieve on the red carpet, she matched her manicure to her lips, which were brilliant red.
In the Pablo Larran-directed biography, Jolie portrays the late opera soprano Maria Callas.
According to a summary, the film “follows the American-Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye,” following the vocalist “in her final days as the diva reckons with her identity and life.”
Callas, who was renowned for her soprano vocal range that extended throughout three octaves, passed away in Paris in 1977 due to a heart attack at the age of 53. Jolie went through a protracted period of training in order to represent the well-known vocalist.
During her interview on the red carpet on October 26, Angelina Jolie discussed the ways in which she felt a connection to the character and the ways in which she saw similarities between herself and Callas.
“I know there are certain things that people would assume from the distance that we have in common, but I think what we have in common maybe is that we share a certain loneliness in kind of sometimes doing our work where we’re the one, I don’t know, up at night, alone, trying to figure something out,” she said in an interview. “I don’t want to speak too much about it because it’s too personal, but there’s definitely a loneliness and a work ethic.”
It’s possible that I am many things, but I am a really hard worker, is that correct? Despite the fact that I am not flawless, I put in a lot of effort, just like she does. I don’t know whether she or I ever would see ourselves as anything other than a performer and a worker who has a job to do, and we are probably very hard on ourselves,” Jolie continued. “And so I think we see ourselves, and I see ourselves as a performer and a worker.”
During the New York Film Festival, which took place in September, the movie was greeted with a standing ovation. Before the screening, Jolie walked the red carpet with three of her children, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and Maddox, 23, while wearing a white vintage Madame Grès gown that she purchased from Mon Vintage in Paris. Pax is 20 years old, Zahara is 19 years old, and Maddox is 23 years old.
Recently, the Academy Award winner made an appearance at the Toronto Film Festival, where she was there to present the world premiere of her film Without Blood.
Jolie, who directed the war drama, wore a silk and black Dolce & Gabbana gown with ruching details around the bottom. She looked absolutely stunning in the garment. Wearing a pair of opera-style silk gloves that were elbow-length provided an extra layer of elegance to her look.
Without any jewellery, she had her long blonde hair parted down the centre, and she wore no jewellery.
In addition, Jolie was accompanied by her son Pax, who was twenty years old at the time and worked on the film project as an assistant director. On the red carpet, he wore a black suit and tie on his side, paired with dark shades, in order to coordinate his outfit with that of his mother. Immediately following the screening, he joined the audience in extending a standing ovation to Jolie and the other members of the film’s cast.
