Angelina Jolie in chocolate, satin Versace: lovely, bridesmaid-y or fug?

tree_of_life_prem_08_wenn3344659

OH. MY. GOD. Angelina is NOT wearing a sack dress, y’all. Of course, although it’s not a glittery sack (as the prophets had foretold), it’s still not technically a good look. Here are photos from the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Tree of Life. Brad was there. Sean Penn (and his crazy tomato face) were there. Jessica Chastain was there. And Brad’s lover Angelina was there, in this… I’m calling it “chocolate”. This chocolate, satin, formal ball gown. I would like to see the ball gown with ball-gown-appropriate hair, please. Because if she’s just going to wear her hair down and kind of scraggly, just throw on a motherchucking sack dress.

I just saw that Angelina’s gown in Versace. I never would have guessed it, honestly. Usually Angelina + Versace = MAGIC, but not so much here. I do like the chocolate color on her, but this is just… too satiny, too fussy for Angelina. This looks like something Eva Longoria would wear. That’s the PROBLEM. (PS… there’s a thigh-high slit in the mix too. Ordinarily, I would like that, but this dress is too much for Jolie).

Oh, and is it just me, or is Jessica’s yellow gown very reminiscent of the Ungaro gown Angelina wore several years ago? Right? Same shade of yellow and everything.

    They are so yesterday. Next.

  2. Hanh says:

    Disappointed. Her hair looks awful like she didn’t bother to get a stylist. And that dress. Its ok, but I would much rather see her in a jewel tone and with less giant bunches of ruffles. Eh.

  3. jinni says:

    Where’s ScarJo? I’m disappointed.
    As for Angie:
    At less she’s trying to do something sort of different. I do think the slit was unnecessary when combined with the detail on the side of the dress.

  4. ctkat1 says:

    Well…it isn’t a sack dress, so we have to grade it on a curve. It’s also a color, so we have to give a point for that. I like that she’s doing something different, but it’s still not the best silhouette for her.

    However, at least it isn’t ANOTHER motherchucking Marchesa on the Cannes red carpet.

  5. serena says:

    it’s boring but whatever. my question is, how does she get her skin like that?/??

  6. DoMaJoReMc says:

    Ha! Adam, my first thought was, “OK, I am SO over these to already!” [Great minds!] He is no longer appealing…AT ALL!

  7. bros says:

    bad hair. dress doesnt suit her at all. she doesnt pull off this satin stuff

  8. Slim Charles says:

    She probably looks at him across the breakfast table and is bored out of her mind.

  9. Meg says:

    When did brad become jack?

  10. BG says:

    Penelope Cruz wore that kind of dress dozens of times in the past 5 years.

  11. mln76 says:

    I think she was going for a sedate look so as not to overshadow the movie. I love the color on her and I actually think the gown is beautiful but I don’t like that specific dress in brown. The close-ups I have seen of her face and earrings are stunning (surprise,surprise) and there are a few really cute shots of them holding hands.

  12. Kim123 says:

    Love the dress love the makeup don’t like the hair. They are still the King and Queen of Hollywood IMO

  13. Zzzzzzzzz says:

    I like it. It’s very un-Angelina and I like that she tried something new.

  14. brin says:

    I like the dress on her, wish it was a brighter color though.

  15. RHONYC says:

    it’s not fug.

    it does look like a wedding dress, though…i’d totally get married in it!

    she looks stunning. i love how Brad is drooling all over her.

    Kaiser, you’re right about Jessica’s dress, too. i thought the same thing immediately. it is reminiscent of Angie’s Ungaro gown. but, remember that god-awful hair she wore with it though?

    yikes. 😉

  16. Samigirl says:

    She looks like she’s going to prom. She’s gorgeous though 🙂

  17. toto says:

    god i just watched gettyimages and this woman is the queen

  18. Kasey says:

    The dress to me is kind of MEH. I like the make/style but for some reason I think the chocolate would go better with a blonde or maybe like you said, if her hair was up and not blending in with the dress.

    I really love the order of these pics. There’s the one where Ginger is cheesing with Sean Penn and Brad is holding her hand and dragging her along like he’s trying to divert her. Immediately followed by Miss Ange throwing a look like, “uh, Brad, don’t get carried away. Don’t make me have to spank you”. Which is then followed by them reuniting and me imagining he’s saying, “Ange, you know you my boo. You know you are the only woman for me. Mother of my mini-basketball team of children, love of my life!” And she’s slyly smiling thinking, “Oh please, I was just playing! I know you’re not going anywhere!” Then they’re together smiling for the camera followed by Brad beaming down at her like he just won 1st place and is holding his prize while Ange is looking like she’s so over it! LOVE it!

  19. Lucky Charm says:

    The dress actually isn’t that bad, but I think a necklace or some kind of jewelry, or her hair in an updo with fabulous earrings, would polish the look off. I think her emeralds would be perfect. But I do give her props for trying something different.

    I just want to take some scissors to Brad & Sean – what is up with their hair?!

  20. Cherry Rose says:

    She looks beautiful, but the dress would have been better if there was no slit and it was in a pretty green color. I also wished she styled her hair in a fancy updo.

    The bust part looks a bit weird though. There’s a definite space between the top and her chest.

    But never the less, she’s able to pull it off.

  21. someone says:

    The hair is yuck!!! Brad looks sooo boring.

  22. haa says:

    Ang is beautiful as always. Like Tom, Jen enjoyed Brad when he was at his prime. Now Ang is at her prime and Brad looks like dumpster

  23. Rose says:

    Angelina looks absolutely beautiful. Just enjoy the most beautiful woman, don’t hate, appreciate.

  24. Brittney says:

    The shoes are dyed to match the dress, which makes it even more bridesmaid-y… but I still love it. (Maybe because I’m an Angeloonie. Maybe because I’m glad she’s trying something different. Maybe because the slit makes me swoon.) Mostly, though, any dress that isn’t hideous will look great on her. That face is really all you see, anyway.

  25. RHONYC says:

    @ Kasey

    lmmfao!!! 😆

  26. Cheyenne says:

    Like the dress and love the color. Agree with Lucky Charm, some emeralds would really have set it off.

    Brad looks like he’s about to eat her up.

  27. Calli Pygian says:

    IMO, the dress is somewhere on the spectrum of meh to fug.

  28. Justalark says:

    Angelina is gorgeous enough to take more fashion risks and go for a little drama. This style/color is different and daring for her; therefore, I approve! She has been in a rut sine her pregnancy with the twins, which was the last time she wore some truly stunning dresses and colors.

    Looks like Brad is experimenting, also…It appears that he is channeling a little Jack Nicholson!

  29. Victoire says:

    I LOVE THIS LOOK ! Beautiful dress, make-up is perfect, she looks amazing

  30. albeli says:

    It’s too big in the bust. And it does look bridesmaidish.

  31. KsGirl says:

    I’ve never been a fan of AJ’s sartorial choices, and the design on this dress is meh for me, but omfg that colour looks stunning on her. Every now and again I see someone in a specific colour and think “ok, that person should only ever wear that colour every day forever” because it’s so flattering and suits so perfectly – this is my feeling about this dress on AJ. Her skin also looks perfect – would love to hear her routine. Heh. $$$$$

  32. Solveig says:

    I like that dress and the colour looks good on her, but there’s something off, like she was just interested in wearing a beautiful gown, but forgot to fix the rest, especially the hair. The bustier is too large and I don’t really like that sort of bow on the side of the leg.
    Jessica’s dress is awful, period.
    brad and Sean look like tools as usual.

  33. Zelda says:

    I know I’m in the minority, but I usually love Jolie’s style. When you look as exotic as she does, simple clothes are better. And I think the gowns always look very glamourous, very 1930’s silver-screen.

    But boo to this. It looks like it’s from David’s Bridal. Also, it’s awfully wintry for May.

  34. NJMDPS says:

    It is brown and it is hideous.

  35. DianaPrince says:

    I really like the dress in general.. I liked the color..IMO it also happens to look good on her. Her skin is absolutely flawless. The only thing I wish she had done differently is her hair, it might of looked nicer had she put it up.

    Alas, if she liked the way she looked and her man liked the way she looked then all is well in their world.

  36. Slim Charles says:

    @Kasey Ha ha ha

  37. Rosanna says:

    Now, considered her fashion sense, this dress is GREAT 🙂 Brad looks more and more like Benicio Del Toro…

  38. woot says:

    Ang literally could wear a paper sack and still outshine every other beyotch on the red carpet…she is THAT stunningly gorgeous! Her bod though is on the thin side. She’s got the face of the millenium and Jen Aniston has got the body (but i’d still take Ang’s bod over Jen’s unfortunate face haha)

  39. Jessica says:

    Very prom/bridesmaid. I don’t like the dress at all, but think she looks nice.

  40. Anna says:

    I adore this dress on Angelina. It hits her in all the right spots. It makes her look waisty, hippy, super-leggy and just plain vavavoom. She’s got a very straight-up-and-down, skinny figure (with just some boobs to balance) and this gown gives her a bombshell look. I think it is magic! 🙂 You’re right about the hair though, she could’ve brushed through it a little more carefully. But that’s just nitpicky 🙂

  41. Praise St. Angie! says:

    hmm…I like the color, but not on her. (like beige, yellow and orange, I think brown rarely looks good on people…it has to be JUST the right shade and you have to have the right skin tone.)

    JEWEL TONES, honey, JEWEL TONES!

    I also agree that I might like it better had she done her hair (an UP-do) to go with the style of the dress (very formal) and then the hair color wouldn’t have “blended” with the dress color.

    as you said, at least it’s not black or a glittery sack!

  42. Zelda says:

    @ serena

    I’ve recently become obsessed with home skin care (I have a lot of free time while I wait to move) And I refuse to pay a lot for home facial products because I firmly believe it’s a scam and am a purist about beauty treatments anyway. blah, blah,blah

    Exfoliate with baking soda, steam face 15-20 minutes, apply beaten eggwhites as a masque, rinse, moisturize well (the eggs are a little drying). repeat 2-3 times/week.
    Best results of anything I have ever done. Costs less than a dollar. Skin is very smooth, very glowy, went from large pores to almost no pores after about 4 masques.

    Sorry, I know that was very OT.

  43. something new says:

    It’s cool she tried a new look, but give her a break-in she’s a 35 yr old mom of 6. Even when she was 20 on red carpets, she ALWAYS said that being comfortable was her priority- this type of honesty was what made everyone say that she was so “wild”. Now, everybody says they want to be comfortable…always a trendsetter! I think putting her hair up would have looked too formal- maybe a ponytail?

  44. kristin says:

    Pretty, but it doesn’t fit her very well. Good color.

    Her face looks different…much less worn out. Did she have something done?

  45. Abbs says:

    I think the dress could be pretty, but (and please know I mean no general offense to women with her body type) I think you need to be more Christina Hendricks, Penelope Cruz , Eva Mendes to pull it off. The problem is is that the dress is wearing her. And maybe some bronze sandals instead of dyed to match satin shoes…

    But kudos for trying something different!

  46. serena says:

    I think it’s a very beautiful dress, and it fifts her perfectly.

  47. Sakyiwaa says:

    WHAT! I LOVE IT! her hair shoulda definitely been pulled back though…but…she was probably thinking the dreas is already TOO much as it is! her skin is LOVELY! she’s da Bomb! still my crush.

  48. DGO says:

    Some people should never wear brown.

  49. Jenn WInd says:

    Will someone tell Brad that those stupid sunglasses at every event really ahve to go!!! Is he trying to hide sonmething, or is he just trying to start some kind of fad?

    Some thing sure sucked the hotness out of him!!

  50. TurquoiseBlue says:

    I love it! Bridesmaidy perhaps (matching shoes?) but still really beautiful, and the colour is wonderful on her. If only she didn’t have those stupid tattoos.

  51. Sakyiwaa says:

    @Kasey. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! that sounds soo true!

  52. Trace says:

    I think she looks great! It’s different than what she normally wears. The color is perfect for her skintone. She doesn’t look stick-skinny. I agree that she should have worn her hair up, but other than that, she looks beautiful.

  53. RHONYC says:

    i know i’m gonna catch hell for this…but, i think her arms especially in the 1st pic look extremely elegant and graceful.

    i know that she has naturally thin arms anyways, but you can tell by the lack of batwings that she has no intention on letting herself go.

    i hear that! 😉

  54. Ron says:

    If this is what brdesmaid’s dresses are looking like now, I would want to be one at every wedding. Gorgeous.

  55. Camille says:

    I think AJ looks amazing in strapless dresses, she has the shoulders for them. I also really like the colour on her. I’m not sure I like the bottom part of the dress or not, but I do know that I don’t completely hate the dress…hmm.
    AJ’s hair, makeup and face look gorgeous.
    I also like that she tried something different with the style of dress, good for her.

    I love the photos with her and Brad- he looks so smug and happy 😆 . He looks so proud to be with such a beautiful woman hehe, its cute and it cracks me up 😀 .

  56. gabie says:

    dress is ok, but her hair awfullll ….

  57. Sue says:

    She is a beautiful woman – no doubt. With that said she really stuggles with fasion. The last dress I remember that I thought was amazing was in Mexico promoting Salt – it was white. She looked amazing. this is like a prom dress gone wrong. She even has the dyed matching shoes.

    I often wonder about how other famous people view them. For example penelope, johnny, sean etc., who make a point not to have their relationships shown on the red carpet. I know that they obviously will say nice things in interviews (they have to after all – it is show buxiness). But what they really say behind closed doors about them would be so interesting. What I was hoping for was Sean and Scar Jo. Now that would have been something. But of course Sean does not play that game. Neither does Johnny. To bad. I think though that because Angie and Brad play this game they get more press out of it. Without a significant other the press and attention is just not the same. I often wonder if as they age they will become more private and not use their personal relationship to sell movies. Obviously I would love to see Johnny and Vanessa do something sexy on the red carpet as well as penelope and her man (he is so hot). But they just don’t. Sad for us. Oh well I respect their choice.

  58. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    OMG Angie looks sooo f*cking amazing!!! How can anyone not like this dress? Angelina looks stunning. I mean if Eva Longaria was wearing this dress she would be just wearing a dress but Angelina is OWNING this dress, on Angelina its a gown not just a dress. Its fabulous because Angelina is wearing this gown. I love it. I do kinda wish she would would have pulled her hair back into a bun or something, but whatever Angelina is fabulous 24/7, deal with it. 😀

  59. dh says:

    Is that Brad Pitt, or Craterface from Grease 1?

  60. rkintn says:

    Personally, I think she looks gorgeous! I would give my eyeteeth to look that good in anything LOL

  61. Rhiley says:

    Is Brad shooting a remake of the remake of Cape Fear?

  62. ladybert62 says:

    U G L Y! And get a decent hairbrush and brush that ugly mess you call hair.

  63. Raised brow says:

    “She probably looks at him across the breakfast table and is bored out of her mind. ”

    I don’t know, Charles….I think glances between these two at the breakfast table don’t result in boredom. I’m thinking, prospective dinner guest might want to reconsider eating meals at the Jolie-Pitt table, if you catch my drift! 😀

    *disclaimer: unless you’re some kinda freak, and that sorta thing gets you all riled up, which, in that case, EW!

  64. lisa says:

    She looks stunning. and she knows how to pose on a carpet.

    Stunning woman..and she needs to do a book on how she gets her skins so beautiful.

    They owned that CARPET and they are the hit of Cannes..

    Love it.. love it.. love it so..

  65. luls says:

    omg! my standards have been so lowered when it comes to her, that i like this on her! anythin is better than another beigy sack!! at least this hugs her figure in close ups! its feminine! and it really brings out her skin!

    sigh…. i love how they behave together on the red carpet…. lovers to the core…

  66. di butler says:

    Brad Pitt looks like a greasy club owner in a shitty strip mall at Atlantic City. The whole Nicholson/Bono thing ain’t working. Plus, Tree of Life got BOOED at Cannes. Now, we’ll be told it’s Oscar worthy next year.

  67. k says:

    Ugly dress. She’s been looking pregnant again to me, lately.

  68. original kate says:

    i love the color but it is awfully bridesmaid-ish. and there really shouldn’t be ruffles AND a thigh-high slit. angelina is a lovely woman but girlfriend needs a stylist…or at least a better stylist.

  69. TXCinderella says:

    Her hair looks kind of dirty, but the dress is very pretty. I love the color.

  70. jb says:

    whatever- she’s stunning. and for her, this dress is amazing.

  71. Ari says:

    I think she probably didn’t want to outshine the female co-star of Brad’s so she went really dark (and although fug) YOU KNOW she would’ve totally owned that red carpet and then noone wouldve cared (even more) about this movie 🙂

  72. Patricia Collica says:

    ViVa La Glam as always!

    LuvIt!

  73. amanda says:

    nobody does smug like that bitch.

  74. Stephy2585 says:

    What I really want to know is WHY she isn’t sporting some of her jewelry from her line style de jolie (or whatever it’s called..i’m already over it–googling=out of the question)…

    I guess even she knows they’re ridiculous pieces..

  75. joe says:

    amazing she looks lovely
    but she can do better with her hair

  76. Lisa Turtle says:

    disappointed, but at least she tried something new.

  77. bluhare says:

    Don’t really like it, but in some angles it looks good. I’m with everyone who gives her props for taking the road less traveled with this.

    @cherry rose: Right before I read your post I was just thinking it might look really nice in a shade of green!

  78. Red says:

    My god she looks beautiful. Who cares what she is wearing- look at that face. She has been looking so much better these past few months.
    And the dress is fine…I don’t love satin but at least she is glamming it up.

  79. ZenB says:

    When did Brad Pitt turn into Jeff Bridges? OY! VEY!

    The dress is all of the above. It depends on which side you are looking at.

  80. pixiegirl says:

    I kinda think it’s gorgeous, but I’m not loving the satin-y look or the hair. But this is a step in a *new* direction for her so I give her a thumbs up!

  81. Deven says:

    Her dress is too pleaty, wrinkly, fabricy. It messes up her long, elegant silhouette. The color is nice but the style of the dress is just not sophisticated enough for her look at her current age and status. Brad’s a bad accessory.

  82. sandy says:

    love it, gorgeous, it is so silly to say someone had brad when he was young,good looking, shallow much? i would take brad now then before,he came in to his own, he’s 100% better than his younger self, look what he has accomplished since he’s been with his current lover, look how proud that man is, hehehe, nice couple. try harder next time.

  83. nnn says:

    I love the dress from behind. It would have been nicer with a better bustier, some minimal accessories (a big bracelet and necklace) and a great loose chignon.

    But she is stunning and possess the best graceful poise on the red carpet. She is just statuesque and knows how to own the red carpet like a queen

  84. Amanda says:

    It’s a giant BROWN dress. ugh.

  85. Newbie says:

    She should make brown her go-to color instead of black. The brown makes her skin look healthier and less washed out. I like the color of the dress, and I like the ruffle and slit details, too. But I don’t like the fold-over top. I think that’s what makes it seem bridesmaid-y. Oh. And the shoes don’t help either. But overall, the dress is good! Much better than the frumpy nightmare she wore to the KFP2 photo call.

    I have to admit I’m disappointed in her hair. She used to have really thick and shiny hair. It looks totally fug now. It’s lacklustre and bone-dry. It looks like she jumped out of the shower and let it air-dry for the premiere. Why couldn’t she style it? A little styling would have gone a long way with this dress. And her skin looks monotone, yes, but it’s so. damned. greasy. She’s got no color in her skin. No flush to her cheeks. It looks corpsey. I do like her brown smokey-eye, though. I’m a sucker for smokey-eye. I wear it myself all the time. Her jewelry is a little underwhelming, but I think it was wise to let the dress take center stage because the detailing of it is a little more on the busy side. The only other thing bothering me is that they didn’t take in the top. There are a few good inches between the boning and her actual boobs. That and her hair are the two things ruining this look for me. Otherwise, I like it.

    As for Brad, he looks like he’s been experimenting with fake tanner. Next to Jolie he looks orange (or maybe he really IS still hitting it with his ex, and they’re taking lustful trips to mexico and alternately laying out and drinking margaritas. I kid, I kid!).

  86. Newbie says:

    I love that dress on Jessica Chastain (spelling?). It doesn’t remind me of Jolie’s dress at all. It’s got more detailing and a key-hole in the front. All that seems to be similar is the color. That’s one of the looks on Jolie that I had no complaints about. Her dress, her hair and her makeup were awesome. She was too thin then (as she’s still a little too thin now), but the look was great! But Chastain looks like a goddess in that. I think it’s very well put-together.

  87. blouson says:

    I like the style ON HER (hate it in general) because it makes her look less anorexic. So points for that. But for the love of god, can someone cut that woman’s hair….it needs to be several inches shorter. It just looks thin and split endsy.

  88. Catherine says:

    The color is lovely. She looks wonderful.

  89. Nancy says:

    The dress is kinda cute but the anorexic in it is not I don’t think I will ever like Angelina Jolie but I think Brad looks good except for the dumb glasses.

  90. flourpot says:

    @Justalark – I came here to say that very thing! Angie is lovely as always. Neat-o dress.

  91. sandy says:

    she looks lovely, she can’t get any more gorgeous, she has had many different looks in the past, but she is just stunning most of the time with even trying, it’s just not fair. color/style of the dress looks good on her.

  92. Nibbi says:

    kaiser, you’re tripping. she looks gdamn amazing in that color and yah, it’s not fair, she doesn’t have to think much or have a coherent sense of style or anything, and she still looks damn amazing.
    plus, it’s kind of cute how brad totally looks like he KNOWS he won the lottery in these pics.

  93. Jolie has awful body. Thick waist, chicken legs and claws instead of hands.
    Prison tattoos don’t help.
    She needs a haircut, but I have to say this: her plastic surgeon is a genius.

  94. Maritza says:

    I love the chocolate color and the style of the dress although it would have looked better if it were more adjusted in the bust. It looks as if she were showing her boobs to whoever got close to her. I’m hating Brad’s eyeglasses.

  95. bored says:

    I’m not really into fashion so for me it looks fine. Like whatever, but what is going on with Brad? He looks so weird. like his head is getting longer and his skin waxier.

  96. Newbie says:

    Is anyone else noticing that brad has a piece of white lint in his greasy hair? Lovely.

  97. Solveig says:

    The more I look at these pictures the more I’m disappointed. I was hoping for something more flattering, she made pretty good style choices on the previous Cannes red carpets. But in this case, don’t know, looks like the dress is wearing her and not vice versa. And the hair? Wavy darker hair would’ve been more appropriate for a gown like that. Fortunately she didn’t exceed with too much jewelry – she rarely does – and a simple bracelet and simple earrings of clear gemstones and gold are good enough for a dress like that, although the jewelry looks dated.
    Finally, this is the first time I think her tattoos are trashy.

  98. sorrento says:

    she is and they both are simply elegant and old hollywood glam

  99. anonymous says:

    All I can say is that Angelina is stunning, and Brad just shows her off like a male peacock. WOW! What else can you say. It seems as if Angie took sometime off to do smething for herself because she started to look so homely and bag lady like. Somebody must have told her she have to get a grip on herself and remember she is a movie star even though she has six children and is a mom.

  100. naturefirl says:

    DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!!! WOW…

  101. hollywood101 says:

    #46 Vanessa – said it perfectly.

  102. Dea says:

    Love these two so much!! The most glamorous couple at the moment.

  103. sandra says:

    she’s gorgeous sack or not sack. i find her lack of fashionista to be very refreshing.

  104. sirsly says:

    Her skin = HGH (Human Growth Hormone)

    Brad’s smug face = How much longer can I
    pretend we’re still a couple

  105. lisa says:

    Someone up thread said she struggles with fashion..

    I beg to differ. She doesn’t struggle at all. She wears what she wants/likes how she likes it and when. She has never bent to the current trend. Never tired to be anything other than what she is.

    That to me is what a person embracing fashion does. They dance to their own tune. Her pictures on Cannes will be everywhere. Some will like it others not. But she will be talked about. and tomorrow she will be back in her usual outfit. Something comfortable. Never struggling just being herself.

    I love that about her. Every designer would kill to have her wear their cloths. And when she does wear something it gets noticed. I will also note that most celebrity women are pretty much killing themselves wearing all kinds of whatever to get the attention she gets by walking in a room and not giving a shit.

    Go Angie.

    I think she looks regal. And very beautiful

    I saw this on TV and she and Brad owned Cannes! The two of them, the dress, her skin, the chocolate colour, her hair, Brad’s look, the combined effect was totally amazing. I’ll bet the comments on this thread will outnumber all other actress on the Croisette right now.

  108. Isa says:

    Pros–That face. She is beautiful.
    It’s something different.
    It’s not black or beige.

    Cons- It’s still brown!
    I don’t like the style of it.
    And you’re right, her hair should be fixed better.

  109. lucy2 says:

    I don’t mind the dress, though it would have been better in a jewel tone for her. I could do without the giant slit too, but overall I don’t think it’s that bad. Hair could use improvement though.
    Brad looks awful.

  110. CeeCee says:

    a) does she never do anything with her hair because it will be obviously messed up after they go for a bathroom quickie and too hard to pin back up herself?
    b) is that what the side split in the dress is for?

  111. Eve says:

    GORGEOUS!

    Love (almost) everything. The color is beautiful — and I’ve never seen her wearing brown before. The hair could look better, but at least she combed it.

    If it wasn’t for those ruffles and folds, the dress would be perfect (even though I hate satin).

    @ Brittney:

    The shoes are dyed to match the dress, which makes it even more bridesmaid-y… but I still love it. (Maybe because I’m an Angeloonie. Maybe because I’m glad she’s trying something different. Maybe because the slit makes me swoon.) Mostly, though, any dress that isn’t hideous will look great on her. That face is really all you see, anyway.

    Exactly (about the dress). If only she cared a little bit more about her fashion choices…

    But that face, oh my god, that face comes only once in every generation. Absolutely stunning.

    You can set your watch by Maniston. Knowing Brad and Ange were going to be on the red carpet in Cannes I, along other people with brains, would try to guess what stunt Maniston would pull at the same time Brange gets huge press as Maniston always does. I thought maybe arrse in the air at Cabo? A picture of a male actor sticking his finger in her butt? A naked photo shoot with a barbie doll?

    Maniston has sunk to new lows this time, just as I thought she couldn’t get any lower she has scraped the bottom of the barrell to compete attention with Brange by letting Huvesy tell the world that her beloved dog died (a few weeks ago mind you) on the same day Brange is on the red carpet in Cannes. This woman is sick.

    Being an animal lover this especially gets my blood boiling. She is using the death of a beloved pet to try and take attention away from her ex husband and his partner of six years. I thought getting Chelsea Handjob to publicly call Ange a kkunt (because we know Maniston doesn’t have the guts to do so herself) was bottom of the barrel but this latest stunt takes the cake. Maniston is a disgrace.

    I see the 20 plus years of therapy haven’t helped much.

  113. Vesper says:

    I think she looks stunning as usual. I love the dress. I’ve seen other pics of it from farther away and when u get a look at the entire dress in one shot it really is amazing. I totally think Angie owns the dress. As for her hair, I think she would have looked too formal with it up, considering the dress, although a shine treatment and blow dry would have done wonders. I also think that jewellery is unnecessary, again because of the formality of the dress. As for the colour, I love the chocolate brown, although I never would have thought of it for Spring or Summer. That dress in a brighter colour would have made it overwhelming. Some posters suggested green, but Angie has worn green a lot, either in clothing or jewellery. This is a different look and one she does successfully.

  114. msexodus2000 says:

    This is France,not NYC or CA..Her dress color and style is perfect for this event. AJ in satin chocolate color with side slit!WOW!Look great on her..

  115. Jennifer says:

    Lovely.

  116. april says:

    Perfection!

  117. Freya says:

    Totally gorgeous!

  118. lisa says:

    She just knows how to pose. It is never over the top.. just easy not forced. She has perfect posture too. MAN I should have listened when my Mom kept saying sit up straight. She knows how to be photographed, how to showcase anything she is wearing..

    I think she is wearing her jewelry. And I saw on a fan site that someone suggested it was a piece of jewelry Brad made for her the bracelet I think.. I think works because she never overdoes it. Never too much.

    she wears the cloths.. regardless of whether you like her in them, she wears them. She is so wearing this dress. It fits her,

    and look at that crowd and the photographers. They are eating her alive.

    Her dress will be remembered; just like the Yellow, Green, Pink of Cannes before.

    does anyone remember any of the dresses worn at last years Cannes..

    YEAH.. me either

  119. Crash2GO2 says:

    I’m with original kate: Beautiful color, but not the bow at the waist please. And what happened to that gorgeous hair from last night? It’s all lank here.

  120. Josephina says:

    These still pictures do not do her any justice. but how do you get brown to jump off of a page?

    Anyway, I just saw a 15 min. viewing of Brad and Angie in Cannes..and WOW. She OWNED the red carpet and the PAPs. it wasn’t eve her premiere. Brad was beaming, like he was saying “I’ve got the baddest chick on my arm!” It was just too sweet shen he kissed her in front of everyone.

    The dress. Angies was strutting, making sure you saw the thigh high slit in the back. At one point, Brad stpped away so that more pictures can be taken of just Angie, and she showed the backside of the dress and looked over her shoulder. In that pose, you could see ALL her curves, her chest, her waist, the fabric was grabbing at her hips and her a**. With her pretty glowing against the chocolately dress, and her eyes looked awesome.

    After Brad took pictures with the other two, he went back the downstairs to escort Angelina up the stairs..it was like Prince Charming went to get his Cinderella. The looks and gestures they were giving each other on the RC—they are still very much in love with each other.

  121. Anna says:

    Angie looks gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

  122. operagirl says:

    @CeeCee: Bahahahahaaaaaaa! Epic.

    Love the color on her. Her skin does look amazingly fresh.

    Hair, meh.

    That is all. 😉

  123. Kimbob says:

    My two cents: 1) Of course, Angeliena looks good, but those tats of hers COMPLETELY NEGATE what’s supposed to be “Hollywood Glamour,” in my humble opinion. Due to some movie stars’ ridiculous obsession w/tatoos, the glitz and glamour are all gone. I think tatoos are just plain cheap, & downright NASTY. The human body is beautiful w/out them! 2) What the hell is Brad Pitt doing? He’s purposely making himself look like shit. I know he’s filming a movie (w/the hairstyle), but why doesn’t he WASH his hair & blow it dry & let his beautiful hair SHOW?! And what’s up w/those black-rimmed shades?! They’re not doin’ him any favors. It almost seems since he’s been w/Angeliena that he’s uglied himself up. Is it because she only wants to be seen as “the pretty one,” I wonder?

  124. telesma says:

    That is definitely her color. She looks fantastic.

  125. jemshoes says:

    WOW! Stunning! And I’ll add, yummy, too like chocolate. 🙂 It’s always nice to see Angelina in a colour besides black.

  126. Dudette says:

    She looks fabulous. This is how you do fresh but understated glamour. I like that her hair is not too fussy because the dress is so elaborate. Brad ain’t half bad either.

  127. Rosi says:

    it’s wonderful. especially as i have the feeling that a dress like that also fits to somebody like… me! it may not be the most modern dress on earth, but who cares…

  128. foozy says:

    she looks beautiful as always…

  129. Julie says:

    In one word only. GORGEOUS!!!

  130. Shay says:

    This is one of the best dresses she has worn. It give her an hourglass shape, and she really hasn’t got a waist. Angelina is straight up and down, but this dress does the job in masking that very well.
    Finally, she found a right dress.
    Now she has to work on the colour aspect. Brown is so uber daggy and ordinary.
    She should have gone for red.

  131. Rose says:

    They’re currently doing their job Melodie123, y’know, like folk do.

  132. tracking says:

    She looks fragile and disconnected, and he’s doing that weird grimace smile again. But, other than the odd hair style choice (please cut that weave!), she looks lovely and elegant. Jessica Chastain looks like a million bucks, so vibrant and fresh.

  133. Ria says:

    I think Jolie looks good here. love the dress. hate the Jolie. the Brad looks ugly, what has this woman done to him? second the where’s scarjo question

  134. Daphne says:

    I love the dress. It’s very French, especially the rich chocolate color is very Parisien.

    I would like to see Melanie Laurent in it. I think Malenie Laurent will bring out the understated glamor of this elegant dress.

  135. ZooniQ says:

    Wow. I love this dress, the colour, the styling, she looks freaking perfect. Who knew brown could be so damn gorgeous!

  136. Gorgeous! says:

    She looks so gorgeous & he looks like he is going to burst from pride & love!! Even after all these years, they still look at each other with so much love- beautiful. Btw,the dress looked very elegant on the red carpeted steps and the slit looked really good as they were going down the steps on the way to the after party.

  137. Esther says:

    yao she is kiss looking so good i like that.

  138. journey says:

    you know she started out the evening with her hair up and glamorous looking, but giving hugs and kisses to all six kids before leaving the house took it’s toll on her up-do, and then, then brad was mauling her in the back seat of the limo on the way to the event, so by the time she got there, her hair was down, and she just couldn’t be bothered to put it back up. hugs and maulings by those she loves takes priority over a prissy hairdo everytime for ang.

  139. Addie says:

    @Journey
    Lovely way of seeing things, and probably true.

    She looks beautiful, despite the dress.
    Don’t think this suits her. It seems like a very high maintanance dress, that requires a high maintanance hair do, and to be worn by someone who is very familiar/comfortable in this type of dress.

  140. citmyway says:

    She looks really pretty. She normally doesn’t dress up this much. Looks like she put some effert into it (well other then the hair). However, he looks terrible

  141. jimmy says:

    sorry Loons and Kaiser,

    but her pupils have reached a new gigantic size, it is obious that someone is not happy as she pretends to be.

    Happy people don’t abuse.

  142. skibunny says:

    She looks like a waxen doll and not a happy one! Love the color of the dress. Jessica Chastain looks fabulous in yellow!

  143. Cheyenne says:

    @Jimmy: Dilated pupils do not indicate heroin abuse. Heroin causes the pupils to contract.

    Happy people don’t spew bullshit they’ve read in the tabloids.

  144. lisa says:

    I see the “drug enforcement officers are hear preaching their spin.

    If Angie looks great on any red carpet out come their little magnifying glasses. pressing their noses at the TV/computer screen .. looking at every inch of her body. Every second of tape. watching for that sign.. that only their UNTRAINED noses can spot.

    OH wait her eyes are dilated. He pupils are huge.. which to the BODY language experts/detectives means she is unhappy and the break up announcement is coming.

    This has been the talk for almost 7 years. Waiting.. waiting.. reading the tabloids like it is their bible. Every negative story is to be believed. anything positive is the PR machine churning to print stories to cover what the Angie detectives know and the rest of the world does not.

    And the fact that she looks fab, that they look happy and together. well that is just fuel for their HATE fire.

    Every celeb does a RC to promote. Brad and Angie have not been photographed in Cannes outside their work responsibilities. We have not seen their children nor them in any private moment. We saw Gwen/Gavin and their kids on Vacation. I have seen Jessica A and Katie H..all out for the world to see. But Brad/Angie doing the job of promoting their film like everyone else at Cannes.. is “seeking attention”

    Some of you seriously need to get a grip and keep it.

    Beyond unreasonable in your negative comments. They are STARS..and getting pics taken on the RC to promote a film is a part of that work. We don’t see them or their children everyday.

  145. right says:

    Flawlessly gorgeous. Hate as you will.

  146. wifeyskarsgard says:

    I don’t know what you mean. Angelina is STUNNING.

  147. Brad is now wearing Johnny Depp’s glasses? He needs to develope and own his own style.

  148. Okay, I think they both look good on many levels, but they just don’t look present. Somehow they don’t look connected with what is going on around them. Like they are on a trip of some kind.

  149. CoolBanana says:

    Jimmy with drugs it works the other way around to what you said. When people are on drugs, their pupils get *tiny*, not big or over-sized. So you see, she is clearly not on drugs. If she was on drugs, her pupils would be tiny. A side note is that when you are happy or see something or someone you like or love, your pupils get big (also with differences in light ie darker light = larger pupils), so clearly she is happy.

  150. shirls says:

    Angie had fillers injected uder her cheekbones. Shape has changed. Subtle ‘tho …

  151. Toe says:

    She looks Stunning!!!! she just had to pull her hair back. Brad looks really happy to be with her.

  152. harfang says:

    More women need to wear this color. I adore it and it looks terrific with a wide range of complexions and skin tones. Eh, the hair could be better but it’s fine. Of course her skin is like a beautiful living thing.
