These are new photos from Thursday of Angelina Jolie in London. First, lets’ talk about her outfit. She looks like a reject from The Wizard of Oz. I think it’s the boots that are throwing me off? And Angelina seems thrown too. I think the boots are too tight and too slim even for her bony little legs. She looks like she’s wincing in them. They’re probably new, and she hasn’t broken them in yet.
Anyway, Angelina was photographed leaving director Ridley Scott’s offices. Fun fact: Ridley Scott gave Brad Pitt his big break when he cast Brad in Thelma & Louise. I think Ridley and Brad are still friendly, and although Ridley is known as a rather grumpy Englishman, he’s also known as very actress-friendly, in a good way. Meaning he likes working with women, he likes casting strong actresses, he likes telling stories with good parts for women. People are excited because it looks like Angelina is leaving Ridley’s office with a script. So what could it be?
Most people think it’s a script for the long-gestating Gucci project. I wrote about this way back in 2009, when Angelina was first mentioned for it. The film is supposed to be about Patrizia Reggiano, the “murderess femme fatale ex-wife” of Gucci heir Maurizio Gucci. Reggiano was sentenced to 29 years in jail for plotting the murder of her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci, and the film will follow the Gucci family through the 1970s and 1980s, as their empire was being built, and the murder of Maurizio in 1995. It sounds like an interesting project for Angelina, a straight-up drama that will have her in lots of excellent 1980s costumes, which should be no problem since bitch loves her shoulder pads.
PS… What kind of purse is that? IS IT GUCCI?!?

I was about to say “Hey, I like this shirt…” before I scrolled down and saw the rest of the outfit. Honestly, the only thing that is not throwing me off is the boots.
Dear God, Angelina! Let me dress you up*, even *I* have more style than you (and I suck when it comes to fashion).
*Or undress — whichever you like, babes…
Well, that outfit managed to make one of the skinniest actresses out there look like she has a spare tire.
Congrats!
The problem’s not the boots, IMHO. The boots are a little hoochy for my taste, but – okay. But the SWEATER? Angie, you couldn’t pick a sweater that FIT? Make that thing a little tighter and the outfit’s just fine.
It’s true, I want to focus on the rest of this article and whatever she was doing there in that office, but the outfit… it’s distracting. Now, I am not a fashion girl and I would totally go out in a grey sweater and grey skirt (not with those boots though) but come on, this is ANGELINA FREAKIN’ JOLIE. She’s loaded and has tons of stylists, designers and whatnot at her disposal. It almost seems like she’s purpously dressing so badly? What statement would that be? She’s too busy with the state of the world and all her good deeds to think about her outfit? Do you reckon she thinks fashion is too superficial to merit her attention (to which I would agree, but that’s not the point). Seriously, I’m starting to think there must be something behind it. Either that or she’s depressed. It’s odd for a young woman who’s so beautiful to dress this way. Am I wrong?
She is so beautiful and yet her style is so hideous. So I read the other day that apparently in an old interview she did around Lara Croft she talked about how hard it was for her to gain weight and that she was naturally very thin…I actually wonder if that might be true somewhat.
Just to clarify: I do not think that Angelina has some kind of obligation to dress well and be fashionable. I don’t think any woman has. But I would say that fashion is an important part of her job. She represented various brands in the past (she’s now working for LV, if I’m not mistaken) and dressing the part is just something that comes with being a celebrity. And yet she insists on wearing black and grey ill-fitting monstrosities. It’s strange, is all I’m sayin’.
This outfit is beyond tragic. However, it does work to hide all her jutting bones. Such a shame. She could look so beautiful.
I like the fact that she only wears glamourous clothes @ premieres.
I don’t see what is so wrong with what she is wearing.
It looks VERY comfortable, easy to put together and yet apropreate for a meeting.
A little wounded by the negative comments on her outfits cos as a 25 year old, I myslf have this dress stlye and would never change it. It works,it is not too flashy, neutral colours and modest.
If she does this part the only thing I’m worried about is the accent. I hope she starts working on it right now and gets the best accent coach because unfortunately accents aren’t her strongest skill, IMHO. Everyone can’t be Meryl Streep.
I wonder what happened to that English mini-series about an ex-con that she was supposed to be doing. I think it was called “Forgiven” or something like that, anyone have any info on it?
The bag is Tom Ford. He even mentioned her carrying it. http://www.whosay.com/tomford/photos/64344
I like her outfit, but I guess my style sucks too. LOL
The problem for me is the sweater. If she had put a more fitted one and a big belt to accentuate the illusion of a hour glass type of frame, then it would render the whole look beautiful.
It just needs some little fix here and there to make her outfit more appealing
On a positive note, I like that Jolie always seems so relaxed and smiley even around paps and fans who haunt her down so closely.
She really oozes that sweet happy serenity that all the hopla surrounding her never disrupt.
I wonder what’s project was discussed during that meeting. I am really curious about it.
Eva, your gravatar is CRACKING ME UP. “Welcome to New Yorks HOTTEST NEW CLUB! It’s called HELLS SNOWBALL. It’s got DANCING MIDGETS dressed up as crackhead santa clauses!” 🙂 He cracks me up 🙂
I like what she is wearing so I guess my style sucks as well and lay off of weight already. It is getting old
@ Samigirl:
Thanks! I have to say that you’re not the first one to mention my gravatar — whenever I think about changing it I take a look at Stefon’s face and hands, giggle and give up doing that.
I confess I have a crush on the character (I know he’d rather be with Seth Meyers — it is a recurrent joke in that Weekend Update segment but you already know that but I can’t help it!). Bill Hader makes such cute faces while playing Stefon that I can’t help it!
@ Addie:
I think the criticism regarding her style (or the lack of thereof) is because she’s such a gorgeous woman we feel a little frustrated that her outfits never seem to match her beauty — sometimes they’re even distracting from it (her beauty). I don’t think that “not having style” is necessarily a bad thing in her case, she seems to have other priorities anyway. But still…
OMG maybe i could see a good movie with her:the last time it was when she acted in the Eastwood movie
i dislike her outfits: only her boots are ok
I see no problem with her outfit, other then the fact that it’s not FLASHY, and some ppl have a problem when she doesn’t wear flashy/bright colored clothes.
Yup, this is the lady we’re told is the most beautiful woman in the world, whose partner is one of the sexiest!
Thats the bit that confuses me, she’s entitled to have bad dress sense, dull hair protruding teeth but I just cant comprehend how she’s touted as one of the most beautiful women on earth.
I love her skirt..but seriously those boots cut her off.
@ eve
I think the opposite is true.
She is such a striking beauty, she does not need any clothes to emphasize this, infact I focus on her beauty more when she is in all black, cos her beauty is her biggest acsessory, everything else would just be distracting.
“…but please dont tell me that she’s one the most beautiful woman on earth.”
Nope…I’ll keep saying that because of that face. That comes once in every generation…whether she had some work done or not. It’s an exquisite face with the most perfect bone structure that I have ever seen. So…sorry, that’s one of the most beautiful women on earth (actually, THE most beautiful one, in my opinion).
@ Addie:
It’s ok. That’s another valid way of seeing it.
Count me as another person with horrible taste because I am absolutely in love with this entire look… and it’s generally what I dress like…if it were on a weekend the sweater would be a moderately tight black t-shirt.
Jeez Louise, she’s not walking the red carpet. She looks okay. Only question I have is how in hell does she walk around in those boots all day?
AJ looks like she has gained a bit of weight. It looks great on her.
I too don’t see anything wrong with the outfit not my style but not bad, if she wore something fitted people would be bitching about how thin she is.
Like the last time she wore that top and fitted black jean with the kids to the aquarium people complained about her weight.
http://team-jolie.com/gallery/displayimage-56865.html&fullsize=1
i just don’t understand how she is so impervious to any kind of style rubbing off on her. she has access to all of the designers and all of the best clothes. and it’s not that she has to be a clothes hound- she could be plain and simple but STYLISH. i see better style at my local mall which is a fashion black hole.
although in some way it’s sort of endearing that she is a fashion train wreck when left to her own devices. makes her a little more human.
oh, I love those boots. my calves would never fit in them, but they are HOT.
I actually like her outfit, minus the fit of the sweater. I agree with Julia, a fitted on w/a belt would have looked better.
Beautiful but she looks more older
I love her boots and her skirt, but the sweater is a baggy blah with a flowing skirt. I second her exquisite bone structure.
I think she dresses just fine.
LOVING the boots!
So I guess there won’t be any comments about the project..just her cloths.
seriously..
@Sue – I love that look! The sweater with the jeans and boots really suits her.
This outfit isn’t my style, but it isn’t that bad. The boots make me wince though – they look painful.
Most of the things she’s wearing would look good separately.
I LOVE her but this outfit is the worst. Especially the sweater but the boots are just not doing it for me either.
I am really happy about the Ridley Scott movie possibility because the man has made some of the best movies of all time.
It doesn’t get more beautiful than this woman….. She could wear a clown suit and still stun.
She looks fine; totally appropriate for the occasion. Sometimes a gal just doesn’t want to suck it in, you know? As for her not developing a sense of style SHE IS A MOTHER TO SIX CHILDREN. I applaud her getting out of the house with all her bits covered.
She looks like HELL. And those people who continue to say she is beautiful are holding onto an Angie that’s been gone for years. She’s not aging well and not taking care of herself. That being said, she is smiling which is rare so that counts for something!
Hmm, I covet those boots, so sleek and skinny. Are they out? I have no fashion sense so I wouldn’t know. Are the boots themselves the problem or is it the pairing of the boots with the rest of the outfit?
Anyway, I’m excited about that Gucci film project. I love mafia movies but they are always such a sausage-fest – it will be nice to see a female lead for a change. I think this could be a great role for Angie to sink her teeth into – a period film, but where the leading lady is a psycho bad-ass (unlike her role in the Changeling, which I didnt care for).
I would like to see photos of some of the people who say she doesn’t look good and isn’t aging well. She looks pretty damn fine to me. I like her better with a bit more meat, but the woman is a total babe, no matter what she wears.
I like the outfit, but a better-fitting sweater with some color would have been nice. LOVE the boots.
that looks like the french connection skirt she supposedly bought last week.
I think her outfit is fine, a tighter blouse would be better, but still ok.
If she wore a tight shirt, everyone would be complaining about her wearing black again or her bones jutting out. If she wore it in yellow, we’d probably hear something about her dry hair, color doesnt fit her, etc. She’s damned either way.
Isn’t Ridley Scott doing Prometheus? (Alien prequel). I cant wait for that movie to come out!
Just for being a comfortable outfit,I think the look is fine. You Ladies would have me arrested by the ‘fashion police’,if you ever saw my version of comfortable.(No kidding,its so bad the Hub Hub laughs about it!)
I love this outfit and I say that only because this is the only way I would probably be caught dead wearing a skirt. I am a abnormal fan of jeans, sneakers and wtfever shirts.
Almost forgot: Her hair looks great.
I THINK ANGIE’S GREAT. ANGIE’S A LOVELY, BEAUTYFUL, TALENT WOMAN.
I LOVE ANGIE AND HER FAMILY.
She looks like a young Carly Simon
I don’t know if the hatred of Angelina is bizarre or laughable. For the life of me I don’t know why people think this is the ugliest outfit of all time. Boring yes but horrible and tragic no? I’ve seen plenty of women, celebrity and not, wear this outfit and nobody has ever such a reaction.
I like what she’s wearing, but then I will readily admit to having no fashion sense. I like comfortable clothes.
@Sam257 like I said in my previous comment I love Angie. I think she’s gorgeous and usually I can ignore the bad outfits but this is beyond the pale. My theory is the dark glasses cover her faces all you can see are the clothes that are drab and ill-fitting. Do we all have ugly comfy clothes in our closets SURE but a woman with the beauty and bank account of the Jolie can and should be better dressed especially when meeting with a director like Ridley Scott. Oh well hopefully we’ll get some Pitt porn from the Toronto film festival.
I would take a simple, understated, classic, comfortable, elegantly chic outfit like this ANY DAY over the tasteless, skintight, flamboyant, tacky outfits pseudo-stars like the Kardishians wear!
It is apparent that Angelina has the type of luminous beauty that does not require flashy clothes to grab and hold attention. Having said that, I do think she looks gorgeous when she wears the occasional jewel tone (just as Kate Middleton does).
@Justalark: Cosign. Who cares what she wears? She’s not walking the red carpet. She’s a busy woman with a family to raise, she’s not staging a fashion show.
OMG Angelina working with Ridley Scott would be the best thing ever!!!! OMG how exciting would that be?!?!? Oh please let this movie happen.
Honestly, I think her wardrobe is much more about making her look like she isn’t a stick than her not wanting to wear fussy clothes. She either has an eating disorder or a terrible disease. No other logical explanations.
@Sara: Another logical explanation is she is naturally thin. Believe me, l can relate. Until I was in my 40s I had to eat like a horse just to stay at 110 lbs. She’s probably got a metabolism that’s off the charts. When your age goes north your metabolism goes south. In ten years she will put on 20 pounds if not more.
Meh. Most American actresses have no style whatsoever.
@Tomas: EXACTLY. She looks like she needs help with some sort of disorder, yet the hardcore fans can’t say that or they’d be breaking the first rule about The Jolie club: thou shalt not notice or confirm any flaw in The Jolie. I’m not a hater. She was a total knockout back in her early years: great hair, great skin, great clothes. When she hooked up with Brad, she still looked beautiful. Now…not so much. I don’t see a problem with telling the truth.
@MJ: you want to see a picture of me so you can critique the hell out of it? I don’t think you should assume that just because a person thinks Jolie looks skeletal means that person must be fat, unatractive, mean, weird, etc. But here ya go. Have at it:

@Cheyenne
That could be an explanation IF we didn’t see pics of her looking at least 10-15 pounds heavier pre Brad Pitt AND pre-3 children. If this woman was consuming a normal caloric diet she wouldn’t look like this after having kids and previously looking much healthier when younger. She did not look like this ten years ago and children usually add weight. I’m just not buying it, honestly it is a bit concerning for such a huge celebrity that nobody is acknowledging just how unhealthy this women looks. She looks malnourished. Even naturally thin people don’t usually look malnourished. I truly hope she is not sick.
@Toe: There’s nothing wrong with the color black. I love black. Wear it all the time (see above post). The outfit is fugly, in my opinion, but it’s only my opinion. However, no matter how you dice it, she IS too thin. And her hair looks nothing like it used to. Just sayin’.
speaking of awesome female characters … don’t forget ripley in alien.
She looks fine I think. Sounds like it would be great for her to work with him!
I’m bias since I work in the financial district of NYC. I would wear what she has on in a heart beat in the fall for an informal meeting.. We actually laugh in our part of the city if someone comes in with bright clothes or low cut/ short dresses.. They are either tourists or hookers looking for a stockbroker on wall street… Again I’m only speaking for our part of NYC…
Thank you Edita, That is style! Look at that cuff chain purse she is holding! That is how she works the style…on the carpet, and she brings it! When she has a regular ole meeting she wears a simple, but beautiful outfit. She is pure class. She doesn’t need to do it in her everyday ‘regular” life…..She always rocks it when need be!!!
And even in the section of brookyln I grew up in Angie attire would fit in more so than 3/4 quarters of the actresses in HW… Angie move to NYC!!!!
I thought this photo was too funny for words….just look at the people hanging out of the windows!
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3806530/Angelina-Jolie-causes-a-roadblock.html
@Sara: She put on about 10-15 pounds for the Lara Croft movies and talked about how difficult it was for her to put on the weight. I can definitely relate. Very thin people often have a terrible time trying to gain weight. I know from experience. Once you hit middle age, the pounds pile on with no effort and then you have to be careful what you eat or you’ll end up looking like the Michelin Man.
I would love to wear this outfit for work, its amazing that having access to so much money she can dress so down to earth for a meeting. This is putting the focus on others and not her.
No Angelina has not always been this thin. that is total BS. If u look back to the Bone Collector she didn’t appear like someone who is a skeleton. It’s ok to speak honestly. You can like someone and be honest. She has serious health issues and is starting to resemble Karen Carpenter. The picture of her walking thru the airport with the little black dress on is totally scary. Her legs are like broomsticks and her knees look like doorknobs. Yes her face is pretty but gorgeous, not really. when she is all made up, yeah, she can look gorgeous but not lately. When Mr. and Mrs. Smith was filmed she was beautiful but not anymore. She has lost so much weight that all her facial features have shifted and they don’t look so great. the weight loss has caused her jaw to jut out, her teeth look out of alignment, her forehead is now a fivehead and her hair looks limp and lifeless. It’s ok to be honest. then there are the things that look like gills on her neck that make occasional appearances. have no idea what they are but i’ve never seen them on anyone else, ever.
surprised no mentioned her arms in these pictures. looks like she is using them for balance.
There is so much wrong going on with her. She really needs some help and maybe if her fans were honest, she might actually listen.
Not a hater, just honest. Loved her in the Bone Collector but her health is in serious jeopardy.
of course i think she looks great, different strokes for different folks i guess, lol i hope she will make a movie soon, i miss her on the big screen, look at the crowd she’s attracting, true stardom, so comfy in her own skin.
It is her clothes, her boots, her hair and her weight.
Overweight people don’t like to be critized about their weight either.
Maybe it’s the same for thin people. I personally don’t touch the subject on either ends of the spectrum. Maybe I am old in my thinking, but I seriously think people own mirrors and can see for themselves enough that they don’t need people always bringing up their weight. Does not make the woman any less either way.
Just a thought as I am quit sensitive about the subject. Be around someone when the subject of weight comes up and watch the hurt it causes. Crushing. Overwieght or skinny it does not matter, since they can’t change it overnight. They just suffer thru. Think about it, then carry on.
I’ve been looking at all the pictures of them at TIFF.
They make a freaking amazingly hot couple. The crowds lost their minds.. it was insane.
As I stated, I work in NYC and a couple of my clients who have met both brad and Angie has said to me.. They are so much better looking in person than photos. Brad looks much younger in person and Angie is drop dead gorgeous. Neither has spoken about her weight.. Im so upset because these clients businesses are often photographed when they are in NYC and I just miss them.. So when people make these comments about how skinny Angie is or how old brad looks. I always asked have you met them in person. The answer is always NO . Okay
btw, one of the real housewives of NYC is my co-workers client and she is b**ch in real life as on screen..
I agree we shouldn’t be criticizing their weight, honestly for me I like AJ in some movies esp Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I just hope she has people around her that can truly look out for her. IMO she has a health issue whether eating disorder or other. I hope she can get the help she needs soon.
@marie: I don’t know if there is anything wrong with Angie, but I’m afraid there is something seriously wrong with you. “Gills in her neck”? Did you skip your meds this morning? Never a good idea.
Re Blythe: “pic is of me and my husband. thanks in advance! :)”
You are drop dead gorgeous woman.
Gorgeous, gorgeous face. I like her in grey, but the outfit is odd.
@Blithe: “pic is of me and my husband. thanks in advance!”
Actually, all I thought was, ‘delusions of grandeur?’ lol!
Funny how people can have such different opinions when it comes to appearance 😉
i like it but isn’t it a bit warm for that look? anyway i wish the sweater would be bigger and could be worn on top of a shirt (for winter) love winter clothing.
@Lady D: thank you!
@Runs with Scissors: *eyeroll*
Whatever it takes to help you sleep at night, darling. No matter how you feel about me, it doesn’t help Jolie look any better. But I guess attacking someone on a blog is a really good way of deflecting from the issue at hand…
@Blithe, you can take it but you can’t dish it, lol!
You call Jolie “skeletal,” insist that she must have a “disorder,” and say that this is FACT, not opinion, then you say that people who disagree with you are just delusional “hardcore” fans who can never admit any fault in her.
Then you take the time and effort to post a photo of yourself that didn’t prove anything. (so weird!)
Then you thank us in advance for our compliments on your appearance? Maybe you’re a “hardcore” fan… of yourself?
I saw your photo. It isn’t an attack to say that, in my opinion, you seem overly confident about your appearance. (Now, if I had made reference to, say, a pre-op Rumor Willis’ (mean looking) older sister…
http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQTYM-l9OusmFSChEt6DlwKeQD_yhR–81tdbMGc5bR782zePaQ_g
I actually don’t find her unattractive either, at least she smiles…but I digress…)
My point is that it’s only an opinion. You have an extremely confident opinion of your own appearance as well as Joie’s appearance, and my opinion differs on both counts.
In my opinion, Jolie is a naturally slim woman who works her ass off, has 6 kids, and spends a ton of her personal time surrounded by refugees who often are literally starving. She’s been working with people like this for years. I’m sure it affects her appetite.
http://www.flashlifestyle.com/gallery.html?func=detail&id=140#joomimg
In my opinion, looking at the photos, Jolie’s merely slim. For you to insist that she’s “skeletal” and has a “disorder” and to insist that anyone who disagrees with you must be a blind hardcore fan who can’t see the truth, well that sounds like arrogant hyperbolic tripe to me.
But it’s just my opinion, we obviously have different reference points for what constitutes praiseworthy beauty as well as for what constitutes “skeletal.”
You cannot post a photo of yourself and then take issue with opinions people may have, good or bad. Which is why most people won’t do it. Angie and Brad don’t respond to posts about their looks or actions. It is good to be confident about ones looks since one has to live with them. There is no accounting for taste however, so never be surprised that someone doesn’t agree with your assessment. A picture of your entire self would have been better for any comparison’s since you said she (Angie) looks skeletal; couldn’t see your body size in the picture posted. Please note no opinion negative or otherwise on the actual photo.
I agree with 82,
No matter what, i still beleive that Jolie is a beautiful woman and more beautiful than most people.
I fail to undertsand why some people have to dismiss anyone’s opinion who think that way by impliying or saying that they are either delusional hardcore fans or somehow blind.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and you can be beautiful for some or ugly for others. It goes for everyone, not just for Jolie.
That’s my complain about those who don’t find her beautiful or too skinny. It’s fine but it’s still YOUR opinion, not a universally verified fact shared by each and everyone and not a more superior opinion than those who find her as beautiful as ever with that petite or skinny or slim or whatever frame of hers.
Since when beauty should be a dictatorship related concept whith a definite specific body frame accepted by everyone or rejected by everyone to be deemed as acceptable ?
I find it particularly offensive those women who keep on harping relentlessly on skinny women for their body frame. They often use so loosely the very offensive and insulting ‘skeletal’ adjective and imply loosely grave mental illnesses like anorexy or the use of drugs whenever a woman is slimmer than the average ‘jane.
These days, in blogs, thin women are too easily insulted for their body type or suspiciously branded as having a so called disorder or being a druggie and that’s not fine at all.
Love her look!!! I hope she plays the part! I’ll bet it will be a great movie!
My brother suggested I might like this website. He was once entirely right. This publish truly made my day. You can not believe just how so much time I had spent for this info! Thank you!
Does anyone know what designer the boots are from??? – they look great.
