Angelina Jolie’s return to the big screen has been a whirlwind of memorable moments. Her portrayal of Maria Callas in ‘Maria’, the biopic directed by Pablo Larraín, has garnered critical acclaim, and her promotional tour style has been equally impressive. From her glamorous appearance at the Venice Film Festival to her Grecian goddess moment at the New York Film Festival, Jolie has been making waves on the red carpet.
For her recent appearance at the BFI London Film Festival, she opted for a more understated yet equally chic look. She chose a classic black three-piece suit by Dolce & Gabbana, consisting of a single-button tuxedo jacket, cigarette trousers, and a relaxed silhouette vest. This total ensemble demonstrated Jolie’s chameleon-like fashion prowess, seamlessly transitioning from flowing gowns to well-tailored pieces.
Jolie, known for her effortless style, always strikes a balance between flowing gowns for red carpets and well-crafted outerwear (with a penchant for black) for her street style looks. However, London seems to have inspired her to embrace a contemporary and effortless dandy look.
Beyond the impeccable tuxedo, a piece of timeless elegance often overlooked, the star accessorized with eye-catching gold earrings and styled her dirty blonde hair in loose waves. Instead of the usual high heels, she opted for black square-toe leather boots, a surprising and stylish choice that perfectly complemented her look. This ensemble serves as a brilliant (and perhaps unexpected) reminder that a classic suit is a wardrobe essential that every woman should embrace this season.
Angelina Jolie’s choice to wear a suit highlights the power and versatility of this piece. It’s a reminder that fashion doesn’t always need to be flashy or loud to make a statement. Sometimes, the most powerful looks are the simplest and most timeless.
