When you think of Angelina Jolie, so many things could come to mind: her humanitarian work, her wonderful motherhood style, and her impressive work in the entertainment world. Along with all of this, she’s known for her powerful and dramatic red-carpet fashion.
The Oscar-winning actress has been known to rock any look she chooses, from colorful midi dresses at Cannes Film Festival to gothic delights at the Oscars. In 2021 alone, Jolie rocked an array of glittering, colorful looks that many claimed she “redefined movie star style!”
In a previous interview with Vogue UK, Jolie talked about her personal fashion choices and how she is all about sustainability. “I invest in quality pieces, and then just wear them to death. Boots, a favourite coat, a favourite purse, I don’t change things often, you know? That’s one of my things,” she said.
From dramatic ballgowns to colorful mini-dresses, Jolie can truly rock it all. To honor her impeccable style over the past nearly 30 years (and her possible new fashion and jewelry style brand she’s reportedly in the works on), let’s take a trip down this oh-so-stylish and chic memory lane!
