Angelina Jolie rocks figure-hugging liquid gold dress and tumbling curls

Actress Angelina Jolie offered a masterclass in red carpet dressing on Saturday as she attended a screening of her latest film, Maria, in Los Angeles.

The Hollywood star, who portrays opera singer Maria Callas in the biographical film, served up some high-octane glamour in a liquid gold slip dress complete with elegant ruched detailing around the waistline.

Angelina, 49, teamed her sumptuous silk garment with a billowing black kimono-style jacket for added warmth. Elevating her look, she slipped on a pair of glossy gold heels and accessorised with a pair of orb-shaped drop earrings.

While the Mr. & Mrs. Smith actress is renowned for rocking poker straight hair, Angelina took the opportunity to experiment with voluminous curls which she wore down loose and flipped over to one side.

His latest work, Maria, focuses on soprano singer Callas in her final years when she was living in Paris.

Of her role, Angelina told the Hollywood Reporter back in August: “I’m sure there’s a lot that will be read into it of our overlaps as women, but the one that’s maybe not the most obvious is I’m not sure how comfortable we both are with being public.

“And there was a pressure behind the working that wasn’t just the joy of the work.”

When asked why she had taken on fewer roles in recent years, the actress said: “I needed to be home more with my kids,” before going to explain how she now felt ready to return seeing as her children are now “a bit older” and “more independent.”
