Angelina Jolie didn’t make the cast list, but she still dominated the Eddington premiere at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. The red carpet featured a full lineup of A-listers, but Jolie’s entrance made everyone do a double take. She didn’t show up to promote a film—just to remind everyone how to deliver a proper red carpet moment.
The dress: textured, tailored, and very expensive-looking

No shine overload—just enough to catch the light. The bottom flared into a full poplin skirt that hit the floor with structure, not volume. It was formal, but not fussy.
To finish it off, she went for nude heels and serious diamonds. A tennis necklace with one standout teardrop diamond at the center sat on her collarbone, paired with yellow-and-white diamond drop earrings that did just enough without fighting the dress.
Classic Jolie move: let the details whisper, not scream.
Not starring in the film, but still starring on the carpet

At the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, she wore a golden brown semi-sheer gown with floral embroidery. Same formula—rich fabric, minimal styling, heavy impact. With the Maria press tour and Tony Awards creeping up, we’re expecting more of this quiet power dressing from her.
And honestly? If you’re building a Pinterest board for what rich-girl neutrals are supposed to look like, this one belongs at the top.
