Even Angelina Jolie, the embodiment of discreet luxury, comprehends the impact of a subtle skin reveal. She practically initiated the thigh-high slit trend back at the 2012 Oscars, stunning in her black strapless Versace gown that ingeniously showcased a surprising flash of leg. And now, the actress is once again playing her card, offering a glimpse without fully divulging.
On a casual stroll through New York City's Soho neighborhood, Jolie displayed her finesse. Her attire, a black knitted maxi dress, had a sensuous twist that was so subtly done, it could've easily evaded attention. Beyond the dress's flowing sleeves and semi-transparent fabric, there resided a set of discreet circular cutouts on each side. Being the master of preparedness, Angelina draped a black wool jacket over her arm, ready to pull it on as a cover-up, if need be.
The ensemble was elevated with a black leather Saint Laurent clutch, suede pointed-toe stilettos that matched, and oversized square-shaped Chloé sunglasses. A pair of delicate drop earrings, a gold thumb ring, and a dash of pink lip gloss completed her quietly elegant ensemble.
Angelina's current presence in New York City revolves around her overseeing the production of her upcoming Broadway musical adaptation of The Outsiders, with her 15-year-old daughter Vivian dutifully playing the role of her assistant.
“Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn't focused on being the center of attention but on supporting other creatives,” Angelina shared in a statement to E! News, reflecting on her late mother Marcheline Bertrand. “She possesses a profound thoughtfulness and seriousness toward theatre, striving to learn how to contribute in the best way.”
Besides Vivienne, Angelina nurtures her maternal side with her other children, including Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old Knox, who happens to be Vivian's twin.
