Angelina Jolie in black Atelier Versace in Japan: at least it’s not a sack dress?

wenn21483968

Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning at the Tokyo premiere of Maleficent today (yesterday? tomorrow?) at the Ebisu Garden Place. This really wasn’t a god day for fashion p0rn from either woman. Shall we start with Angelina? Sure. Angelina wore a fancy version of a black tube dress. On the plus side, it’s not a sack. On the minus side, it’s a black tube dress and she has worn versions of this dress a million times before. COME ON, ANGIE. I mean, Dame Angelina. The dress is Atelier Versace, and I like the “peaked” neckline, although I’m pretty sure that she wore nearly the same (non-peaked) dress to one of Brad’s premieres a few years ago, and it was also Versace. The House of Versace: providing sack dresses and tube dresses to Angelina Jolie since 2001.

As for Elle, she wore Alexander McQueen Fall 2014. Can you believe that this is a current design from the House of McQueen? Ugh. This looks like a gigantic doily!!!!! With feathers on the hem. Nooooooo.

As for how the film is doing – Maleficent has already cracked the half-a-billion mark. According to Box Office Mojo, the film has made $521,580,000, making it the best box office showing of Angelina’s career. Good for her.

    I liked Elle’s dress its very victorian nightwear . And why is Brenton Thwartes not doing any promo, wasn’t this suppose to be his breakout role?

    • HH says:

      @Loopy – I’m in the extreme minority with you here. I love this on her. She has the face and build for it. Also, it’s so delicate and intricately done. I just think it’s beautiful.

    • shelley says:

      I agree, I absolutely love Elle’s dress. I want it. Angie looks great too.

    • Londerland says:

      I love it too. I’d wear it’s knockoff Asos cousin in a heartbeat.

    • phlyfiremama says:

      I love Elle’s dress as well~they both look stunning, for utterly different reasons. I loved Brenton Thwartes in this role~I would be interested inseeing a film he was in.

  2. Tiffany says:

    Oh Elle, just…no.

  3. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    Elle’s dress is seriously the most god-awful, ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. It looks like an ugly shower curtain. WHO thinks that looks good?

    And WOW! Angelina looks sexy…..I love that dress….it looks like it should be more for a date night, or a night time event, I think–but it fits with Maleficent….nod to her horns?

    • eva says:

      Right, she looks gorgeous, her eye makeup is perfection.

      • Eve says:

        I tried to emulate Jolie’s eye makeup on my own (and I suck donkey balls at doing anything other than some putting on some blush and mascara/eyeliner). Needless to say the results were not the same.

        If I ever hire a professional makeup person, that’s the makeup I’m going to ask for.

      • Ennie says:

        look for pixiwoo tutorial on her wait!

        you could probably go darker or smudge the dark color to make it more smokey. The trick is the eyeliner and lashes, it makes some people swear she had plastic surgery to make them cat-like.

      • Camille (The Original) says:

        Yep her makeup is usually flawless.

    • SpookySpooks says:

      I love Angelina’s dress, but her breasts are simply too big for her frame and they set everything off. She hasn’t looked amazing ever since she made them.

      As for Elle, such a pretty girl, such an ugly dress.

    • doofus says:

      I think she looks great…I love the “point” thing at the top of the dress.

      but…um…does she have padding on? I don’t recall such “junk in the trunk” on her figure in the past…either way, she looks lovely.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        I think the padding might be a built in corset, because she doesn’t have hips like that…..

      • doofus says:

        yup, that’s what I meant…either way, though…YOWZA!

      • Petee says:

        I think she is dressing on the red carpet as part of her character.Sure I would love to see her in some color.She looks great and beautiful as always.I am very happy this movie has been such a hit.

    • kri says:

      I just looked an AJ and got chills…the GOOD kind. Oh, hell yeah with that dress!!

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      @SpookySpooks and Lollipop, who both wrote “about the current size of Angelina Jolie’s breasts”

      Do her breasts ‘really’ look bigger now than they did in 2011 at the Golden Globe Awards?

      http://cdn03.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/headlines/2011/01/angelina-jolie-golden-globes-2011-brad-pitt.jpg

      • SpookySpooks says:

        They look much bigger now, to me at least.

      • Camille (The Original) says:

        They don’t look that much bigger to me @Emma – the JP Lover.

        Plus I doubt they would ever be able to get them *exactly* like they were before. People need to get over the boob size thing, that is just trying to find something to nitpick about in my opinion. Anything to find some flaws with some people eh, well whatever floats your boat I suppose. Have at it.

      • Ennie says:

        Not so much to me, but I think it is mostly the structure of the dress that makes it look bigger.
        For my niece’s XV birthday (big deal here in my country), she got a nice off the shoulder dress that had wire along the corset and gave her quite a chest, but if she had fallen on it, it would have crushed and showed her reality back then, AA cups. Under the dress there was just wire and air.
        Her friends must have been wondering why she “grew” overnight, , but she looked happy in her pictures.

      • TC says:

        They don’t look bigger to me either. She’s wearing a black velvet corset dress, hence the reason for the slightly exaggerated shape at the bustling and hips.

        Angie is just stunning in that dress. She just oozes elegance and sophistication

        I love how Elle and Angie have played off the “light” and “dark” of their characters with their red carpet looks. They’ve clearly had a lot of fun on this press tour. Elle seems like she’s having the time of her life.

  4. mayamae says:

    Elle’s dress looks like a combo of virginal wedding night negligee, and Loretta Lynn stage dress circa 1971.

    I rarely like anything Angie wears, but she doesn’t hold herself up as a fashion icon, so it doesn’t bother me.

  5. Abbott says:

    It looks like Taylor Swift’s pajama closet volcanically exploded over Elle.

  6. aims says:

    Angie looks classic and lovely as ever. Elle’s dress is the most ugliest dress I have seen in a long time. It’s a disaster.

    • BNA FAN says:

      Angelina’s dress fits her perfectly, and she looks beautiful. Elle’s dress is fit for the occasion. She plays princess Aurora.

  7. Faye says:

    Both of them are very on point for their characters. At least Angelina looks chic, though I would love to see her in a color.

    • Sugar says:

      I agree. People seem to be overlooking that they’re dressing as representations of their characters. They’re both dressed correctly, IMO. They’re at work, creating interest in the characters they play in this movie.

    • The Original G says:

      Yes, I agree. And I think they need to keep Elle looking princessy for the promos.

    • SpookySpooks says:

      Elle wore amazing dresses to other premiers that were representing her characters. This one is just ugly.

  8. sure says:

    Jolie can pass for Elle’s mother.

    • eva says:

      Generally a 39 yr old woman can pass for a mother to a 16 yr old.

    • BNA FAN says:

      Well, Dame Angie is 39 years old and Elle is 16 years old. So what’s your point? I’m sure Dame Angie would not take that as an insult. Angelina has a son almost 13 years old. On the other hand, a certain person who is six years older than Angie would take that as insult if you told her she could pass for Elle’s mother.

      • sure says:

        Elle looks older than 16 and Jolie looks mid 40s.

      • SpookySpooks says:

        I love Angelina, but could we please not call her Dame Angie? Thank you.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        @sure
        Then why didn’t you just say you think Angelina looks five years older than her actual age?

      • darkdove says:

        I AGREE WITH YOU BNA FAN just ignore this SURE character made a stupid coment and she is just trying to justify .

      • Kie says:

        no way does Angelina look mid 40s. She looks her age and younger when she has minimal makeup.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @SpookySpooks, who wrote: “I love Angelina, but could we please not call her Dame Angie? Thank you.”

        Why? Are you somehow offended by the Honor bestowed upon her by the Queen of England? Just asking because I’m truly curious.

      • SpookySpooks says:

        I’m very glad for her, but “Dame Angie” sounds terribly annoying.

    • darkdove says:

      what was that coment about Angelina is 22 or 23 years older than elle, what would be your point she looks her age and always beautiful.

  9. Jaderu says:

    Elle looks like a princess being held captive by a dragon in a remote castle waiting for a pasty prince to come rescue her.
    Angie looks sexy. Classy Sexy IMO

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      @Jaderu, who wrote: “Elle looks like a princess being held captive by a dragon in a remote castle waiting for a pasty prince to come rescue her.
      Angie looks sexy. Classy Sexy IMO”

      Which is the look I think they were going for with her dress. And I agree with you! 🙂

  10. Esti says:

    Is that the same white powder on the top of Angelina’s dress that was all over her face/legs at previous events? She obviously has a great makeup artist in general, so I don’t understand why the powder keeps going wrong.

    • lisa2 says:

      It is the dress material.

      • Esti says:

        I don’t think so. Look at the second picture — that definitely looks like powder to me.

      • lisa2 says:

        The dress is a velvet corset dress. So there is no white powder issue this time out.

      • Esti says:

        The powder doesn’t show up in videos (or in real life), that’s why stars don’t notice it before they get onto the red carpet. It only shows up in flash pictures. Every picture I’ve seen of Angie at this event has the same marks in the same spot on the dress, so I’m pretty convinced it’s powder and not just velvet shining oddly at a particular angle.

    • Ennie says:

      It is the shine of the dress. No powder here. It seems that they got that fixed for her premieres onward.

  11. tifzlan says:

    How is it possible for someone to be this beautiful T____T

  12. Isa says:

    Normally I complain about Angelina’s black dresses but I love this one! She looks amazing and idk what’s going on underneath the dress but it gives her an hourglass figure that she normally doesn’t have.

    I saw maleficient last weekend with our daughter and we LOVED it. Even my husband loved it and talked about how good it was

    • BeefJerky says:

      That’s what I thought! No way is she that curvy normally.

      • Kie says:

        Actually Angelina does have hips and a wider waist naturally. She is not skinny all over. It is just that she has very slim & long legs and arms.

      • Isa says:

        She does have very skinny arms and legs and carries what little weight she has in her torso.
        She seems to have a small waist to hip ratio. Not very hourglass. I have the same problem with my waist and hips and would love to have a dress like that!

  13. Mikeyangel says:

    I like them both. Guess I don’t have good fashion sense. Although not a fan of Elle showing so much cleavage, guess her covering EVERYTHING else kind of makes up for it. She isn’t large cheated but I don’t like seeing young girls bits exploited.

  14. PunkyMomma says:

    McQueen must be spinning. Elle’s dress looks like she should be sleepwalking around Dracula’s castle. But I love the peaked tube on Jolie. Why give up on what works for you?

    • Eve says:

      “Elle’s dress looks like she should be sleepwalking around Dracula’s castle.”

      LOL!

  15. Eve says:

    I like the dress — it gives her a defined waist (The Jolie’s torso is kinda “boxy”).

    Lovely face (as usual).

    • BreeinSEA says:

      I suffer from boxy waist so I like this dress. I can’t pin point what it is about Elle but she bugs, hard. Her voice, or face… I don’t know.

  16. Renee says:

    I think that Angelina looks great!!! The dress gives her an hourglass figure despite her slim hips and she looks pretty and happy. I like her understated earrings as well. Her shoes I am not a fan of but I like that they match. Elle’s dress I am not so crazy about but, I guess she is a kid and I can think of many things I wore at that age that make me cringe now to think of. Plus, all of her bits aren’t hanging out, yay Elle??

  17. Maria says:

    Yesssss!

    She’s finally wearing something with a cut that does her body justice (I also liked that black leather dress while hating it as well because of the cut, lol).

    She looks good.

  18. Eleonor says:

    Alexander McQueen is spinning in his grave.

  19. eliza says:

    I don’t hate the McQueen. Needs to be a bit more fitted but it is interesting and appropriate for the occasion.

    I have seen the Versace before. It is nice. Not exceptional.

  20. The Original G says:

    You know, when people look at Angie’s photos in the future she’s never going to look dated. She’ll look classic.

    I think Elle’s dress is a bit whimsy for the film and I give her a pass.

    • Camille (The Original) says:

      So true. Her style is very minimal, classic and chic. But I guess that is not to everyone’s tastes, which is fine.

  21. teri says:

    Angelina looks beautiful. Congrats to all for a wonderful movie.

  22. Anna Scott says:

    Where is the rest of the cast? Were Jolie and Fanning the only actors starring in this movie. Very strange promotion. As far as clothes, I think it’s in the contract that the young one has to look “innocent” while the older one the opposite.

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      They are the two leads…..maybe the studio didn’t want to pay for any of the other actors to promote, especially since they aren’t all that famous or well known. It’s good business to send out the most recognizable faces (as well as them being the leads). Plus, the movie has been out for nearly a month in the rest of the world–so this is probably just some last minute promotion, where they don’t need everyone.

      The other actors were at the comic cons/ press interviews and premieres–in LA.

    • lisa2 says:

      I don’t think it is a strange promotion at all. Who exactly do you think the 2500 people are there to see. This is Angie’s film/w Elle. She (Angie) is the big star. The film is about her so yes she is the one that shoulders the promotion. If the film had failed it would have been called Angie failure..

      so let her enjoy the success.

    • KIm1 says:

      I have only seen Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt promoting EOT .

  23. amanda says:

    does Dame Angelia have a new tattoo of a dragon or something by her wrist in the above photo?

    i think the neckline looks great on her.

    • k says:

      lol!!! i was just looking for a comment on this. is it new?

      • lisa2 says:

        No it is an “h” for her Brother. It has been there for years. it is just upside down because of her hand waving.

  24. The Original Mia says:

    Angelina looks amazing to me. Less said about Elle’s dress, the better.

  25. Andrea1 says:

    Angie looks sexy and classy and I agree that this is how her clothes should be tailored because of her boxy shape. She looks very sweet. A big NO to Ellie’s dress wtf is that??? Well I do know they are dressing for their characters but there are lovely princess gowns out there. And yay Angie is slaying the box office now looking beyond $600m.

  26. Hissyfit says:

    I love Elle’s dress! It’s very charming.

    As for Jolie, the dress is nothing special but the custom fit surely did give her that amazing hour glass figure. With that gorgeous face, you don’t really need to look at any part of her body.

  27. serena says:

    Though Elle’s outfit seems more like a super fancy night-gown, I should say its appropriate for the Aurora’s theme she is going with.

    Angie is stunning as always but she could do better with her dress.

  28. Paige says:

    Love Angie’ s dress. Elle’ s dress not so much but at least it fits with the movie.

  29. zut alors! says:

    I think Angelina looks great! Her smoky eye makeup is gorgeous; wish I could replicate it. Glad to see Maleficent doing so well at the box office, must be some of that good karma working in her favor. I’m thinking it will reach $600 million in the next 2 weeks once it opens in Japan. I expect she’s going to be super busy in the next few months readying Unbroken for its X-mas day release. I wish her nothing but continued success and good health.

  30. Luna says:

    Kaiser, you crack me up! As soon as I saw the headline of the article on my tumblr feed, without knowing the source, and it said “…at least it’s not a sack dress?” I knew it was you.

    I love me some fashion porn, and sometimes Angie’ll take risks on the red carpet, which is awesome, but there’s no denying she’s a creature of habit! Think about it, that just makes the times she decides to go out of her comfort zone even more special (“ZOMG SHE’S WEARING WHITE”). And there’s no denying she looks stunning no matter what. Me, I liked this dress a lot, but I love me some classic pieces – and I don’t mind she wears black so much but I do like form-fitting stuff better than I do the “sack dresses”.

    As for Elle, she looks like she’s wearing her grandma’s drapes from her tea room in 1897.

  31. Lonnie Tinks says:

    Elle’s dress is gorgeous. That’s all.

  32. mil says:

    Omg I can’t believe nobody mentioned how SKELETAL Angie look! (WHat) does she eat?

    • Ennie says:

      just 2 days ago everyone was mentioning how great he looked, and that she seemed to be in a fuller form. boy, if all those commenter just had waited for these pics… (sarcasm)
      I think she looks good. Everyone here knows how thin her forearms are, as her legs under the knee.
      here her arms were really slim, and she was fuller as a teen.

      oops an external link, let’s see if it goes through

  33. Midnight says:

    Angelina looks amazing. Hair and makeup are appropriate. No way on earth one woman should be that beautiful. No wonder Brad always manages to show her off when they’re together on the red carpet. Elle’s dress is age appropriate and I think she looks wonderful. I wouldn’t change a thing on either one of them.

  34. starrywonder says:

    I must have no fashion sense since I loved Elle’s dress too. She looked like a Princess to me which is what I think she was going for. Angie looked really good. Loved the point to her dress.

    • lisa2 says:

      Elle said she saw it online while looking at some runway shows. Fell in love with it.. It has STars and Moons on it..

      she likes fashion and likes to take risk. Angie likes classic cuts..

  35. Fan says:

    Angelina is still the most beautiful and stunning woman in the world. No one can compete with her beauty up to now.

  36. Janet says:

    I love Dame Angie’s dress, but why is Elle Fanning wearing Miz Ellen’s lace po’teers?
