Angelina Jolie’s sense of style has changed over the years, but it seems she has always favored black and white solids. Everyone was talking about how she snogged her androgynous stepbrother at the 2000 Oscars when she won for best supporting actress in Girl, Interrupted. She had a gothic look with long black straight hair, kohl-rimmed eyes and a Versace dress.

The next year she wore a simple white Dolce and Gabbana pantsuit, muted makeup and pulled back hair for a much different business-like sporty style. She looks much better at the 2001 Oscars because she’s smiling a lot, getting along with her dad, and generally looking happy and upbeat.

At the 2004 Oscars, Angelina wore a memorable white satin Marc Bouwer gown with a plunging neckline that didn’t leave much to the imagination. Her hair was swept up at the top bt down, and gorgeous jewelry complimented the outfit. She was more elegant at the 2004 ceremony and worked it on the red carpet, although there’s at least one picture of her cutting loose and laughing.

And here’s a cute fuzzy clip of Angelina at the 1986 Oscars with her dad, Jon Voight. Voight was nominated for best actor for his role in Runaway Train, but the award went to William Hurt for Kiss of the Spider Woman. Voight has been nominated for an Academy Award four times, and had previous won a best actor Oscar for 1978’s Coming Home.
