Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie at the 4th Annual Women in the World Summit in New York City last night. Her Lord of the Rings ensemble is Saint Laurent Spring 2013. It’s very much “the style of Jolie” which is to say Angelina loves a baggy sack dress, she loves black and muddy, unflattering, boring colors, and she loves an insane amount of layers. When she was at the Women in the World Summit last year, she wore a lovely black-and-white suit, so it’s not like she didn’t know that a suit would have been perfectly acceptable. I don’t understand this. Ugh. It’s like she’s still in character as Maleficent.
During her appearance at the summit, Angelina gave a speech about Malala Yousafzai, the teenage Pakistani girl who was targeted by the Taliban because she spoke out about the state of girls’ education. The Taliban shot Malala point-blank in the head last year, but Malala was taken to England for treatment, and she survived. Here’s Angelina’s speech (this made me cry, just FYI, so if you need to get your tissue ready, go ahead).
Angelina says in part, “Here’s what the gunman and the Taliban accomplished on that day. They shot her at point-blank range in the head – and made her stronger. The brutal attempt to silence her voice made it stronger.” Then Malala appeared, via video link-up, to say: “Today I’m going to announce the happiest moment of my life,” she said, revealing that money from the charity fund set up in her name would go towards building a school for 40 girls in Pakistan. “Let us turn the education of 40 girls into 40 million girls.” Angelina committed $200,000 to the new “Malala’s Fund” for Pakistani girls’ education.

Now, this is the news that matters. I adore this woman so much.
I second that!
I am in admiration for the difference she is trying to make in the world! For years she has consistently used her fame and position to make a positive impact. I wish I could say the same for myself!
I’ll give her a pass on the dress….
MTE. The significance of what she’s doing makes it pretty trivial to snark on that dress (though lord knows the snark is there for the taking). I applaud her for not going all sex kitten at these important functions, but there’s a middle ground too, like that perfectly appropriate b&w suit.
THIS.
Yes, love this news. Don’t care what Angelina Jolie wears as long as she keeps on doing what she does.
Totally agree!
i love her too for all the good she is doing .
oh for the love of grace- the woman is wearing a sack! You pick apart poor jennifer aniston’s hair, her dress or life, and every other actress but angie gets a pass because she’s so saintly-lots of other actresses give of their time and money to charties but still get dissed i am so sick of her and Brad!
First off people talk about how she dresses all the time on this site. Know what they are giving her a pass for is at this event what she was there for was more important then what she had on, but I guess you can’t see pass your hate to realize that.
Now let her wear this an the red carpet and there will be a different response.
Because, “Jen”, what she wears at this event is irrelevant to the event. If you attend non-frivolous events then no one should be concerned with frivolous things. See how it works.
Why on earth would you bring that silly insipid woman into this? Aside from making her hair stylist rich, she does nothing of benefit to anybody.
And what is Aniston trying to do to make the world a better place that would allow us to focus on anything else but what she wears?
There’s a time and a place for everything. “Hollywood” is all about appearances, so what what someone wears to promote a film, or to an awards ceremony is fair game. To make it a focus when someone is at an event like this seems, well, petty.
Holy see-through. At least she had the foresight to put on some drawers before she left the house. But what in the Hocus Pocus hell is with that cape?!
ETA: This is a great article to start out my day with. Good on her for consistently using her celebrity to try to do something that matters.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Are those her panties I see under there? I mean, I loved this speech and I admire Jolie endlessly, but wtf? Couldn’t anyone have pointed out to her that we can all see her underwear?
To be fair, it probably wasn’t visible in normal lighting while looking at her or while looking in a mirror. I’m sure the camera flashes are to blame. I’m just glad we aren’t all sitting here talking about Angie’s bare biscuit shining through while speaking at a women’s summit….. take note AnnE and all the other crotch-shot wonders of the world, panties are important EVEN in floor length dresses! Always wear your drawers!
now you pointed it out, it won’t go away! well, the “crazy” being hoped for in the previous AJ post did appear!
but, i agree with you, fashion faux pas aside, the substance of the event to honor and share Malala’s spirit is important 🙂 more people should be made aware of it, the struggle of some girls in some parts of the world to gain education is something i can’t imagine. if AJ has to flash the world to draw attention to it, i’m all for it!
LMAO at “What in the hocus pocus hell…”
She looks like she’s wearing a very see through version of traditional Arab clothing. The black aba over a brown abaya. The thong isn’t very traditional, I suspect, but we can blame the flashbulbs for being able to see it. Still she should have worn a slip. She should know this would happen as she’s had plenty of experience in front of cameras. So, did she wear this because she knew it would get more attention for her message? Her message is pretty powerful on its own.
LOL, her “Lord of the Rings dress” is exactly what I was thinking! Still, considering that she was giving a speech at a women’s summit I won’t snark about it because really, she’s doing good work.
Honestly, I’m respecting her more and more with each passing day, and (back in her Billy Bob days) I couldn’t stand Angelina Jolie.
I was thinking more along the lines of Gone with the Wind. Like she was standing in her closet, wondering whatever to wear, then glanced across at the drapes, and inspiration struck. She even left the pull cords.
OMG it’s true! I can’t stop laughing now, you just made my day…all I can see is Angie attacking her drapes, hahahaha.
Brad said, “But Angie I can see your underwear through the drapes ”
Angie, “You’ve seen how I dress so I shouldn’t have to say it but Frankly I don’t give a damn.”
Sorry I couldn’t resist!
Know what Rachel? Angelina in the dining room with curtain tassels!
I would kill for her face but lord, she has no sense of style.
She used to dress better post Billy Bob, pre Brad Pitt
omg. look closely. her face is melting!
I don’t care what she’s wearing, the message is what matters today.
Totally agree.
Absolutely.
Exactly!
+1
I wonder how ppl can go on talking about clothes or whatever after listening to this. This is about Malala and Angelina is great in bringing awareness.
Just as a reminder, the last three Secretaries of State have been women and the media has obsessed over their attire, as well. It’s part of being a public figure who is also female. I have enormous respect for AJ’s work, but I don’t understand the sack-dress look. I feel a tad guilty that I even care, but I do wonder why she can’t just wear a bland Laura Bush pant suit for her global work to give us nothing to discuss.
I agree! (and I actually love what she is wearing – I think I might be the only one on the board who does lol)
Nope. I actually love what she’s wearing. I love earth tones and it looks so comfortable.
Angelina has been talking the talk and walking the walk for years. Loved her speech and that video of Malala brought tears to my eyes.
Damn. I’m so emotional today.
You are not alone. I love the dress and the speech. I even love the black wrap/shawl/sweater thing.
This !
Go Malala. Go Angie.
Malala Yousafazi should have been Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2012.
Agreed x100
Say what you want about Angie but I love that she’s one of the very few people that remembers the countries that others forget. She and Brad travelled to Pakistan after the October 2005 earthquake.
Malala Yousafzai is to me the heart and soul of Pakistan. She represents hope and promise. Love her. so proud of her and so angry about those who think violence is ok.
i love her understated style. her face is gorgeous and her best feature(although gaunt. eat some food Angelina!) and understated clothes draw the attention there. for all the “angie is a homewrecker” she at least puts her money where her mouth is for her charity work and tries to live quietly.
As an aside, does anyone think Ange will ever be in another good movie?
No. I didn’t think so.
This makes Handler seem all the more infantile with her attacks against Jolie. I wonder if news like this makes her feel silly for being so petty.
Handler is simply a bung hole. Can’t stand how trashy she is. She ranks right there with the nasty rosanne barr.
@evasmom – Nope. I reckon it probably just makes her face go redder and uglier as she rants and rages against a world that refuses to see the Angie that Chelsea and her ‘girl’s girls’ see. 😉
Angie should get a Nobel Peace Prize. If they think Bono deserves one.
I agree – and I bet she will one day.
She is nothing like anyone- that’s why I love her
Not a huge Jolie fan, but her heart seems bigger than her fame. I truly admire her good works. A beautiful woman with a beautful soul.
Yeah. Such preciious work she’s been doing. I would like to thank her specially for raising awareness on women’s situation in those parts of the world. So, though I can see her panties, I think the important message has gotten across.
I haven’t even watched the video and just by reading that quote I’m sort of crying. What a great little girl Malala, and what a great woman Angelina.
The woman she has become reminds me so much of Audrey Hepburn.
I agree! Hepburn eventually started to wear similar clothing as well, the more involved she became with similar causes for change/charity.
Same frame too. I think there must be something to spending so much time with impoverished and suffering people. Maybe it causes a certain sustained lack of ability for the sumptuousness of really enjoying food.
After looking at these new photos of her I am beginning to wonder if the rumors about her getting her boobs lifted and rejuvenated are true. They seem bigger and a lot more perkier. I don’t blame her after have three kids. That will take a toll on your boobies.
One thing very punctual in AJ’s wardrobe are good bras. she seems to always wear them, and usually padded, especially in these occasions. Even when she had small babies you would not see a nipple. Bad luck with the fabric and the flashes. I do not think that it was her intention to show anything, hence the long cardigan.
Good for Malala, she and girl’s education deserve tributes. I hope the best for her. The culture she lives in is hard on women.
As for the dress, I almost always wear pants or jeans, but when I wear a dress, I remember how comfy they are, and makes me to want to wear more, but I am too lazy to iron them, or the skirts, so I back to my. Jeans!
I think she is dressing lately in dresses that have an oriental look of flavor.
It’s called a BRA. Most women have them.
Really? I’ve never heard of a bra..thanks for the insight, but my comment is in response to the rumors circulating and it’s nothing against it her.
There are no such rumors circulating except at sites devoted to insulting this woman.
But thanks for playing.
I really admire the fact that Angie uses her money and fame to try and create positive change, and I am in awe of Malala’s strength and character! If only everyone was as strong in their convictions, what a change we could make.
For those interested.. the live stream is on now. Hillary is speaking. There are video clips from last night as well. This really is an amazing time for women. And scary too. The young women on last night told of their struggle and how the continue the fight for education and women’s participation in the decisions made in their country.
I’m such a fan of Angie’s and Brad and how much they are doing outside of Hollywood to help. It is easy to stand and say you back a cause. But to actually roll up your sleeves and continue to support it for all the years that follow is a completely different thing all together.
they both walk the walk..
here is the link to the WIW

Just also had to say Meryl Streep was there too. She paid tribute to Inez McCormack; who sadly died in January of Cancer. Meryl had been a part of a short play called Seven..where she portrayed Inez. During her speech she read quotes from Inez (In a great Irish accent). Inez’s husband was in the audience. Meryl’s introduction was very funny and just made me want to know more about this woman.
They gave me a much needed education.. All the women at the event.
I’m NOT in the mood to play fashion police. I’m looking at the big picture. Angelina is a woman to be admired. She became a Mother and got her sh*t together. She grew up emotionally and spiritually.
For those who think ethnic women can’t be feminist, I give you Malala. Nuff said.
Yes. This.
And I do give Jolie props for supporting this cause and getting this story out.
Jolie walks the walk – I believe she looks at her daughters and thinks: I have to do this.
Who thinks “ethnic” women can’t be feminist?
I think she wears so many layers because of how thin she is… 🙁
It’s not even that many layers since we can see thru it with the flash. It’s more of a flowing dress.
Not hating on her at all FYI
Uggh. I watched it. I hate not being able to hate her any more. First I lose Ebert, and now I lose my Jolie Hate, a dear dear hate I have cherished and enjoyed for years. Tough week.
I don’t understand. Why would you ‘hate’ Angelina? What is there to possibly hate?
te he. have a drink on me.
Love Angelina’s heart.
What an admirable woman.Thank you CB for posting this.This things really matter.This woman is really an inspiration to me.I am not rich but I would really like to help in the best way that I can.This is so touching.
Why are all the other women dressed like professionals and Jolie is dressed like she’s going to a Cosplay convention? Is that from her witch costume? With some curtains thrown in? She looks ridiculous.
Because. She doesn’t give a f##k about looking good she cares about doing good.Keep wearing sacks Angie
Well your complaint should be with the designer. She is wearing the look right off the runway.
http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/news/angelina-jolie-rocks-a-full-look-from-saint-laurent-by-hedi-slimane
As much as people want to hate on Angelina she does a lot of good things with her fame. Wish more celebs at her level of fame were like her. She seems to genuinely care about the causes she’s involved with.
Yes she puts her $$ and time into causes she supports. More than just showing up in a pretty frock on a red carpet to support. I think she has grown up and gotten her sh*it together as someone else posted. She and Brad seem to be good for each other that way and that’s a good thing.
Completely agree w/you.
People are still talking more about Angelina than about the little girl in Pakistan…all this work she is doing has raised her fame level much more than awareness of the cause
Thats absolute rubbish. At work we were talking about Malala. Hardly anyone talked abut Jolie for long. She brings awareness to issues, not to herself.
It is not rubbish. Most of the people say “Angelina does humanitarian work”, they do not care about the issues but the fact that Angelina is the one trying to direct the attention. Also, why can’t she be low key like other celebes while doing her charity work? Sandra Bullock donated 1 million to Japan a couple years ago and she didn’t make a big fuss out of it.
@ Flor
Sandra Bullock 1 million to Japan for its earthquake relief was all over the news when it happend so how is that low key?
Really then how come every time she bring attention to a cause more money gets donated to that cause from all over.
FYI. If you casually watched the women of the world summit you would know that Angelina never said anything about committed $200,000 . Tina Brown is the one that said ” Angelina didn’t mentchen it but she committed $200,000 to the new “Malala’s Foundation” I hope you fallow suit.”
Sandra Bullock donated quietly YET we know about it. Oh the irony.
Look a donation is a donation to me whether done quietly or not.
Why would anyone donate a million dollars to Japan. Japan is one of the wealthiest nations on earth. Even they themselves said they didn’t need or want financial donations. They needed manpower – people. They didn’t need money.
@ Katherine: If Japan needs manpower they had better reform their immigration policies and start having more than one child per couple or their population is going to drop through the floor.
As I already proved Flor, it is rubbish. Angelina gets people talking about the ISSUES, not about herself. And again, Sandra Bullock is not a UN Ambassador or Special Envoy. Angelina has a duty and responsibility to be the PUBLIC FACE. Bullock doesn’t have that responsibily. QED
Hi Janet, its China that has the one child policy, not Japan.
God bless, Malala – for her courage and strength to stand up against those who oppose her and wish to end her life.
Although she is still a child, she displays a maturity far beyond her years. I truly admire Malala and pray that she continues to heal from her horrific injuries.
Angelina is also another person I admire – not because of her fame or acting skills, but because she wants to help make this world a better place, especially for those who are not as fortunate as she is (or the majority of us in the western world). She obviously has a kind and generous heart. I hope she is able to continue her good works for many, many years to come.
Love this lady 🙂
I have never had the love for her as an actress. I now have the love for her as a human being.
I like her outfit. She’s looks relaxed, low key and still gorgeous. Dressing “Hollywood” would be in bad taste. She generally does not dress to upstage at events that aren’t film promotions. I like that.
I dont know what you would call this ensemble but it certainly does draw attention to her. A suit would have been much more appropriate. I dont think for one second that she isnt aware of that either. I’m not knocking her for supporting a good cause but she’s getting some pretty good exposure here. There are plenty of celebrities that give generously of their time and money. It just isnt on Celebitchy.
Really? Well I donated to the Malala Fund partly because of Angie’s involvement so her involvement has helped this cause.The fund was also highlighted on GMA today when they showed Angie’s speech. SO Angie has raised more awareness about this brave girl’s mission. I also. Became aware of SOS Children Villages through Angie’s involvement a few years ago.Learning about worthy organizations is more important to me than fashion.
Good for you!
Paige, are ‘plenty of celebrities’ a Special Envoy to the United Nations? Or a member of the Foreign Council? No, I thought not…..
So what exactly is your point?
Um, the ENTIRE PURPOSE of Angelina’s work is as a PUBLIC face for the UN and therefore she has greater responsibilities and obligations than other ‘checkbook celebs’ (those who throw a check at an organization and go back to tanning on Malibu) hence why SHE is mentioned/covered here and elsewhere? Duh. smh
Mona I suggest you check out Maine Raida and Chantel Kreviazuk and what they have done. Neil Young is another one. These ppl give of their time and money which in my opinion is every bit as honourable as Angie. They dont get the exposure on here. This is a celebrity gossip site. If people have to come on here and idolize a movie star before they become aware and decide to donate well perhaps they should read the news. Angie is only one of many. That was my point. Not everyone has to be a “special envoy”!!! You want to put her on a pedestal, thats fine but I dont see her as better or more giving than some others. There are lots of good people out there helping and giving every single day!
Paige, we don’t even need to talk about celebrities. Lots of normal people actually live in those 3rd world countries for years on end doing great humanitarian work with no acknowledgment at all.
I looked up Chantal and she and her husband are musicians who do charity concerts to raise money and travel to places to rasie awareness. Good on them, but Angelina does the same.
I don’t know who’s more “dedicated” and what not, but those two have been getting acknowledgement from Canada (where they’re from).
The point is, Jolie raises a lot of awareness and in terms of monetary amount, gives a lot too, so it’s silly to compare her with someone like Chantal because everyone is doing good work and more celebrities should follow their example.
Again Paige, you really truly don’t seem to get it. No one is belittling charity other celebs or ordinary citizens do. You asked why she gets so much attention that other celebs who donate or do charity don’t. I told you why. Yet you can’t seem to digest it. The whole ENTIRE POINT of Angelina’s work with the UN is to USE her FAME for attention to issues. Angelina has an obligation under the charter for her job at the UN to publicize things and to liaise with the media. Other celebs don’t have that responsibility or obligation, hence aren’t in the media for their charity work as much. I don’t know how many different ways I can word it for you until you understand. Angelina has job responsibilities and obligations with her UN work that other celebrities DON’T have. Her charity work is far more serious.
For Paige:
Meryl was there paying tribute to a great friend of hers, Eva Longoria works with the Latino community, and also America Ferrera and others like Winfrey, and maybe Tom Hanks, I did not catch all the celebs names.
It happens that Jolie is one of the hosts of the summit, along with Streep, Hillary Clinton and NObel winner Leymah Gbowee. The organizers selected these women. Why do you think are the reasons for these? Like this is not a worthy cause and they should hide at home and only write checks?
This is an honor. Here is a link, there are so many sotes with great stories regarding this summit.
http://www.peyamner.com/english/PNAnews.aspx?ID=269991
I hope we all could share those. In other site they posted a link for the beautiful story of the Sierra Leona (now American) ballerina Michaela de Prince, who performed at the summit.
Wonderful WOMAN with a huge heart who truly cares for others and tries her best to help those who are in need of assistance.
I could care less what she wears.
I love what she is wearing and I usually always do I guess its because if I were to were dresses and stuff (which I hate lol) it would totally be sacks like hers!
Actually, I always like her style and looks…very seldom that she can be criticized. Plus, she could probably pull anything off, including overalls! She is very classy and beautiful, not “cute”…which is a compliment.
She has money and fame and most of us would just be contented buying luxury items and vacationing all year. She still chooses to bring awareness to such issues. For that, I respect her.
x2
OK but what about Halle Berry being pregnant? :0
she looks more like her mother every day… i think that’s who she takes her fashion cues from http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8ghe8poBY1qbiablo1_400.jpg
Who cares what she was wearing. That was a beautiful speech. She is so well spoken, no stumbling over words or obvious nervousness/slurring.
Angelina did a lovely job and looked her stunningly beautiful self. Have to admit that speech made me get teary.
I hate to get serious but she is really inspiring me. She’s one of the few who puts their money where their mouth is and is using her privilege for good, I don’t sense it is at all about ego when she’s talking about others. It’s nice to see outer beauty that is matched inside.
What is it about Angelina that drives the haters insane? The comments about the dress are really over the top. The dress is fine but the black coverup is unnecessary and ruin the look. It’s really ridiculous that Angelina is bashed for attending a celebrity filled event but nobody has a problem with the other celebrities attending. Also the haters really need stop with the “so and so gives in secret” then rattle off all the money the celebrity donated. Clearly if it was in secret nobody would know.
Because they need something. She is very beautiful woman. And unlike many other celebrity women, she doesn’t change who she is based on public opinion. She does her own thing. I think the none fans would love for her to crumble or start whining about what is said about her. She doesn’t. She doesn’t say a word and just keeps doing her thing.
regarding the outfit. I posted a link above. The coverup was on the runway. It is the look the designer put together. I don’t find anything wrong with it. And despite the people that don’t like what she wears. She is talked about more then anyone else. And that I think pisses them off more.
I have seen loads of pictures from the event. She looks very beautiful. And since they can’t complain about her face or that she is wearing the ring it has to be her outfit.
same old thing
At the risk of sounding like a fan-tard I have to admit I thought she looked amazing in every possible way- radiant face, pretty hair, and I even loved the outfit on her, the layering included (it’s one of those things that works on Angelina that I’d probably hate on myself or anyone else). She reminds me of Carolyn Jones here, the actress who played Morticia in the TV version of Addams Family (that is supposed to be a compliment, since I always found her beautiful!)
And yes, I agree her humanitarian efforts seem to come from within not to please or impress others. The causes she supports are very much Angie’s own, you don’t see her jumping on the bandwagon of every cause she thinks is hot right now like say, Lady Gaga. Angelina has been interested in the same types of causes since at least as far back as the Billy Bob days so far as I remember – I do think it comes from the heart.
I concede. She’s won me over. Like Bill Clinton, whatever transgressions she may or may not have made in her private life, her public good deeds outweigh all of it.
My dd’s two best friends are Pakistani and it is scary to hear what their parents escaped. Malala is brave and amazing and a beacon for true change and what girls should look up to. Bless AJ for pointing her out.
Love AJ
I have learned about many issue through her.
Also, her style, when you see her in movement you would understand why she wears what she does. She moves beautifully in her clothing, and her clothing allow her to have the long stride that she does.
Some celebs that you see, when they are still the clothes photograph well, but when they move they look terrible – people should think about that
Thank you Angelina for your support and donations for Malala’s cause. My country owes you a lot for supporting Malala and helping the earth quake victims in 2005. Time and again you have proved to be a beautiful woman inside and out. Thank you again!
PS. To all those who judge Ms. Jolie should remember this that her social work has outweighed her mistakes in her life. One should respect her for that. Peace out!
She’s wearing the long, flowing, and baggy dress to try to conceal how very thin she is.
But the outfit is immaterial; bringing attention to Ms. Yousafzai and the sad plight of women in Pakistan and countries with similar politics is such wonderful work.
OH please she has been far thinner in the past and it never stopped her from wearing whatever she wanted.
She likes these kinds of cloths and imagine that. She actually get to wear what she wants.
I don’t think she cares one way or another what anyone things of her fashion choices. Brad doesn’t seem to mind.
I think she look gorgeous and totally classy. AND super sexy with that little strip of blank panty peeking out under the side of that sheer dress. Truly gorgeous women don’t need tight “see me” dresses. She turns me on.
No one is more deserving of a Nobel Piece Award. Thank you Anjeline for looking for others and bringing these issues to light. Just adore you!!!
I love what Angie is wearing. So what if her underwear shows through. She is a fabulous and beautiful woman.
LOVE YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!!
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
