Angelina Jolie made a memorable splash at the Venice Film Festival last week, receiving an extraordinary eight-minute standing ovation for her portrayal of Maria Callas. Her stellar performance in the Netflix film, which is already stirring Oscar speculation, highlighted the start of an exciting promotional tour for the actress.
Jolie’s next stop was the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, where she continued to turn heads. At the event on August 31, 2024, the 49-year-old actress impressed in a cozy, stone-coloured knit dress. The gown featured a stylish bolero top with flowing sleeves, adding a touch of sophistication to her appearance. She completed the look with brown pointed court heels adorned with large buckles and oversized sunglasses, letting her honey-coloured hair cascade naturally over her shoulders.

Jolie was spotted mingling with fellow stars, including Naomi Watts, who kept her outfit casual with baggy jeans and a strapless top. Watts was also seen with her furry friend in a cross-body sling, adding a charming touch to her ensemble.
In a well-timed move, Jolie departed Venice before her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, made his appearance at the European film festival. Pitt, 60, was seen at the event with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, 34. The couple was all smiles as they attended the festival, where Pitt’s new film, "Wolfs," was being showcased. Jolie’s avoidance of a potential run-in with Pitt was perhaps intentional, considering their ongoing legal battles.

Jolie’s recent comments to Hollywood Reporter revealed her current situation. She is primarily based in Los Angeles due to their ongoing divorce and legal disputes. Jolie expressed that she will remain in the city until her twins, Vivienne and Knox, turn 18, at which point she hopes to relocate. She also touched on her personal life, sharing that she doesn’t have many close relationships to rely on. “I don’t really have those kinds of relationships,” she said, reflecting on her experiences of loss and betrayal. Despite this, she values the few close relationships she maintains.

The legal battle between Jolie and Pitt has been prolonged, beginning with their initial filing in 2016 and continuing despite their legal separation in 2019. As Jolie continues her film promotion and navigates her personal challenges, her recent appearances highlight her resilience and continued presence in the spotlight.
