Angelina Jolie is taking couture to the next level.
She arrived on the “Couture” Paris premiere red carpet Monday in a semi-sheer silver gown that showed hints of skin between sequined embellishments.
The dress featured an asymmetric hem and beaded fringe along the sleeves and skirt. She paired the look with black pumps.
Jolie later changed into a black suit as she left the premiere.
The actress, 50, stars in the film as Maxine Walker, a film director who receives a breast cancer diagnosis while working for a major house during Paris Fashion Week. It also intertwines the story of a model and a makeup artist trying to make it in the industry.
Fans can, of course, expect major fashion moments in the film as well.
A trailer teases glossy runways and the iconic staircase in Chanel’s Rue Cambon salon that leads to Coco Chanel’s private apartment. Director Alice Winocour was given unprecedented full access to Chanel’s ateliers, workshops and showrooms for the forthcoming feature film.
Chanel also collaborated with costume designer Pascaline Chavanne to create runway looks inspired by the house’s collection, per Variety.
Jolie knows a thing or two about the fashion biz herself as she opened her own brand, Atelier Jolie, in 2023. The clothing line is actually a collective of artists from around the world and “challenges overconsumption.”
The actress also knows the plight of breast cancer well, too, as the star underwent a preventative double mastectomy in 2013 and, two years later, removed her ovaries and fallopian tubes after doctors told her she had an 87 percent chance of breast cancer and a 50 percent chance of ovarian cancer. Her mom, Marcheline Bertrand, lost her battle with breast and ovarian cancer.
With the press tour for “Couture” just beginning, we can imagine Jolie will wear her heart on her meticulously crafted, high-fashion sleeve.
