Angelina Jolie wore a simple, elegant white dress to the NYFF ‘Maria’ premiere

Here are photos of Angelina Jolie at the New York Film Festival premiere of Maria, the Pablo Larrain film where she plays Maria Callas. Angelina arrived with her three oldest kids (all of them adults): Maddox, Zahara and Pax. It’s great to see Pax out and about – he recently crashed his motorbike in LA traffic and was hospitalized for several days with “complex trauma.” It looks like there are faint scars on his face, and his wrist is still in a brace. Zahara must have flown up to New York from Spelman College in Atlanta. I don’t know if Maddox has finished college yet. I love that they all came out to support their mom. As a survivor of the Brangeloonie Wars, I remember so many anti-Jolie people predicting that her kids would grow up to hate her. Looks like the kids have grown up to be well-adjusted and thoughtful, and they adore their mom.

I don’t see an ID on Angelina Jolie’s dress – it looks vintage-y to me, but it might be something custom-made from Atelier Jolie, you never know. People are saying that Zahara is wearing one of Angelina’s old dresses, which is possible. Zahara and Shiloh have both done the same thing for other red carpets. I think those are Angelina’s two fashionista daughters, while Vivienne is all about normcore and little-old-lady dressing. Maddox and Pax were both suited up and both of them looked really nice. After the premiere, I think Angelina hosted a party at Atelier Jolie. She did the same after the Tonys too. ETA: Apparently, Jolie’s dress is vintage Madame Grès. I thought it had a vintage flavor!

Last week, Angelina reportedly “dropped” her FOIA request into the FBI records of the 2016 plane incident. As many of you pointed out in yesterday’s comments, it’s more than likely that Angelina “dropped” the request because she got what she needed from the FBI, and/or she got enough documentation to use in her divorce case AND her countersuit against Brad over Miraval.

    Yikes, that is quite the gash on Pax’s forehead. Angelina must have been terrified. It’s so good to see him.

    • Clove says:

      @Chriistine I noticed that in some pics. He keeps wearing sunglasses and I wondered if his facial injury was worse than we knew.

  2. Amy Bee says:

    Lovely.

  3. Serena says:

    Angelina is still the most beautiful woman.

  4. LoryD75 says:

    It’s a vintage Madame Grès from the 1950s. Very chic.

  5. Lolo86lf says:

    Angelina looks happy, the kids too. The satin dress needed a little alteration other than they look good.

    • Aurora says:

      Yes the dress’ bust is loose. Something that Atelier Jolie could have attended to in minutes as its whole point, I wonder whether they’re already up and running. Other than that, Zahara looks very glamorous.

    • Fabiola says:

      Zahara’s dress is not a good fit. They should’ve had it tailored or gone with a more fitted dress. She’s an adult now she shouldn’t look like she is playing dress up. She has all the money to get a fitted dress. All I see are veins popping out when I see Angelina

    I love the fact that AJ’s dress has a Greek vibe for Maria Callas! And it’s sweet how the kids always come to support their mom and vice versa.

  7. Roo says:

    Lovely to see the kids with her. Especially glad to see Pax is well enough to attend.

  8. Clove says:

    She looks great and all of her kids to also. I also love Maddoxs’ hair.

  9. Mirelle says:

    Beautiful family! Pax looks well but still recovering. And OMG how GOREGEOUS is Zahara!!!! I love the look!!!! I can think of a few celebrities who could take style pointers from her.

  10. Jais says:

    Sweet and supportive family.

  11. Aerie says:

    I’m not a fan of celebrity kids walking the red carpet. They can show support by attending the event but being photographed without their famous mom sends a message to paparazzi that they’re now part of the media circuit.

    • Ennie says:

      These three are adults, and many, many actors’ children and while families even go support their relatives in their endeavors. Back when they were younger and their parents were together, both their parents took them to the premieres to support their most important work.
      Now that they are older, they choose to continue supporting their mother.

    • Lauren says:

      They didn’t walk the red carpet, but joined her from the sidelines. They are all adults who have walked before and the paparazzi rarely get photos of them unless they are with their mom.

    • lucy2 says:

      I’m not either, for kids who are too young to understand what it means to be in the public eye and are brought their by their parents, no choice. These kids are all adults who can choose for themselves.
      I was critical of how she and Brad handled the publicity of the kids when they were little, but once they split, they were much more private, so I’m thinking a lot of that publicity was Brad’s doing, for his own image.

      • Christine says:

        Agreed. I remember the sheer quantity of BP with Maddox photos back in the day. He really used him as the biggest prop.

    • Mel says:

      There was an indoor red carpet and her kids were on it with her. They’re all adults and can pick and choose what they want to go to. It’s the first really big movie their Mother has done in a while where she is the focus. I’m not a fan of hers but I think if her adult kids want to support her, it shouldn’t bother anyone. It’s very controlled and not PAP level, it’s all approved photographers inside.

  12. Jay says:

    Angelina really does look like amazing in that vintage white dress, and she looks genuinely happy!

    @Aerie, these three are the oldest of her kids – they are adults and in college, old enough to make their own decisions ( as they have done by dropping the “Pitt” name). But most importantly, they are proud of their mom and clearly want to be there to support her. I might feel differently if they were much younger and had less agency, but I don’t think that’s the case here. Speaking from experience, when 18-20 year olds don’t want to go somewhere with their parent, they do not:)

    Reminds me of Marilyn’s Subway dress from The Seven Year Itch. Gorgeous.

  14. Sunshile says:

    Angelina looks gorgeous. I love to see the bond with her children. What a mother !

  15. Grant says:

    Dress is nice. I don’t love the shoes. Very excited to see “Maria”!!!

  16. PinkOrchid says:

    I see Angie has a new bird tattoo on her upper arm, above the six lines representing each of her children’s birthplaces. I would guess the meaning of this one is about setting her children free to fly, now that they are all—or almost all—grown up (Viv and Knox have a couple years to go). It goes with the bird over her breastbone, freeing her heart. Love.

  17. Mel says:

    I was there last night. The movie is much better than Spencer. She gives a good performance. She looked good I was 4 rows from the front and they had a Q &A afterwards. Hit a decent picture. Didn’t see the boys but I saw the back of Zahara’s head.🤣

  18. Dea says:

    Zahara’s dress looks like Angelina Jolie’s 2004 Oscar gown 🙂

  19. Stay says:

    Love Angelina Jolie getting high praise in NYC for Maria, and long deserved
