Angelina Jolie in Versace at the Critics Choice: Hershey’s Kiss realness?

wenn22073754

It feels like it’s been forever since we’ve had photos of Angelina Jolie on a red carpet. Think about it – it has been a long time. She had to miss her own premiere (the LA premiere of Unbroken) because of chicken pox. She didn’t go to the Globes or any of the smaller critics’ awards. We haven’t seen her on a red carpet since she was in Australia, premiering Unbroken. So here are photos of Angelina Jolie on last night’s carpet for the Critics Choice.

Fierce. Fabulous. Gorgeous. Love it!!! Waving my loonie flag right here. Her silvery dress is Versace, and as someone observed on Twitter last night, she looked like a Hersey’s Kiss. Angelina + chocolate? YES. Call me crazy, but doesn’t it also look like she’s put on a little bit of (much-needed) weight? She looks healthier now than she has in the past several months. Her hair is also darker now – I’m not sure why, if there’s some epic reason or she just felt like going darker. All in all, a great outing for her. The best we’ve seen from her in a while.

This was maybe the only event where Angelina and Jennifer Aniston were both nominated this year. From what I saw, they didn’t interact at all. Angelina seems to have come alone – was she sitting with the Selma table? – but there are photos of her interacting with other people and talking selfies with critics throughout the night. She chatted with Garrett Hedlund, Miyavi, Ethan Hawke, Reese Witherspoon (the enemy of my enemy is my friend, eh?), Eddie Redmayne (he played her son in The Good Shepherd) and David Oyelowo. Of course she lost the Best Director gong to Richard Linklater. I don’t really think she believed she was going to win anything.

    Not digging the color, it just isn’t working with her skin tone.

    • ds says:

      I’m not digging her hair… and I don’t know, just not digging it generally. But it might be the light; something is not working.

      • zinjojo says:

        Agree…I’m trying to like it, but something feels off, and it’s in the coloring between the new hair and the dress. And I like the dress — sort of. I feel like the fit or the design of the bodice and sleeves isn’t working.

        The other thing I noticed when I watched a few minutes of the show last night is that Angelina seemed really ‘toxed, especially her forehead — it ain’t moving right now. She’s so beautiful she really doesn’t need it, and I never get the big dose of botox to the forehead. People just end up with a big, shiny unmoving forehead; it doesn’t make them look younger.

      • atrain says:

        I can’t pinpoint it either, but it looks off. The hair color/skin tone/dress color combo?
        Her makeup isn’t helping anything, either. She’s way too shiny and has way too much under-eye highlighter on.

      • Lahdidahbaby says:

        If her hair had been up, showcasing her lovely face, if the bodice had been better fitted at the top, and if the gown had been sleeveless instead of having those hideous bell-sleeves, I think this would have been her best look in a long time. Unfortunately, it just ends up looking kind of sloppy. I hate to see a near-miss like this, because it was so close to being wonderful.

      • homegrrrl says:

        I think the hairstylist got angeloonie starstruck and messed up the hair. It should have been up and away or a Veronica Lake side part w waves.

      • Brodie says:

        Dynasty called. Krystal wants her look back.

    • qwerty says:

      I like it. Plus the alternative in her case is black or white, so I’ll take silver any day…

      • Santolina says:

        Me, too. Silver is much better (softer) than her usual black or white.

      • Erin says:

        No she was sitting at her own table ..beside her actors from her movie, where would you get that she sat at the Selma table??

        Especially when they camera went to her it was obvious who she was sitting next to and it wasn’t anyone from the movie Selma.

        And I thought she looked awful, the hair too dark and one tone, the close up on her face , way to much make up and something about her eyes , fake lashes were too much and her under eyes were swollen or something… And the dress was 80’s styles, not in a good way.

      • Cirque28 says:

        Hey, c’mon, let’s not pretend she has a narrow color palette. She also enjoys beige. :p

    • LadyMTL says:

      I love the new hair color but not the dress. Maybe it’s just the pictures but it seems like tarnished silver and not nice silver-silver. Aside from that, I think she looks great.

      • Dana says:

        I love the new hair color! It’s so rich and the dark really brings out her beautiful eyes. What a gorgeous woman.

      • Kosmos says:

        Please forgive me, but I cannot deal with the ‘sleeves’ on this dress—-ugggg. Why I hate this kind of sleeve on anyone, I do not know, except that I just do. They are NOT flattering, and they look matronly for some reason. They remind me of the old Hollywood dress styles maybe? If the same dress had fitted sleeves or no sleeves, it would pass. About the hair color–nope again. She looks better in a slightly lighter shade. Her arms are still so very thin. She must eat very little.

      • Lady D says:

        Isn’t a tarnished silver colour called pewter?

    • Zwella Ingrid says:

      Yes I think her complexion looks very pastey in that color. Not my favorite, although she is beautiful as always. I think the design of the dress gives an illusion of (needed) added weight. I’m not sure that she has actually gained weight, because her arms look so thin.

    • joan says:

      If any of you critics could ever look this good in your entire life, you’d be thrilled.

      • Ava says:

        Kinds of silly comment, so people can praise her looks but no can crictize her looks…… ok then this has become a fan favorite site and not celeBITCHY .

        Why does no one mention the fresh filler that hasn’t settled in her face , it looks like she got jacked up cheeks ( why Kasier thinks she gained weight) that they’re pulling down a bit that her under eye looks odd or the Botox that makes her forehead so shinny .

    • SpookySpooks says:

      I think she looks horrible. The fabric looks cheap, the colour is bad, the cut too. Her hair is also a bit too dark, amd why is her face always so shiny?

    • someonestolemyname says:

      GORGEOUS! This is a Superstar. She looks Stunning, WOW!

  2. GlimmerBunny says:

    This is the best look of the 2015 awards season (so far) and one of my favorite Jolie looks of all time. Simply divine.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Gorgeous.

    • Samtha says:

      Agreed. She looks fabulous–glamorous, perfectly styled, and like a true movie star.

    • Amcn says:

      When she wants to look really good, she looks really good. If she wants to blend in the background she can also do that (somewhat). But she definitely brought out her best look. I am sad we are missing so many red carpet opportunities because she always owns it.

      • someonestolemyname says:

        So Beautiful , now that is a Beautiful woman.
        She looks Gorgeous head to toe
        Amazing.

        Angelina STUNS! For real.

    • BooBooLaRue says:

      Ah the voice of reason. SHE LOOKS DEVINE!

    • bettyrose says:

      IKR?! It’s old school glamour. I love that I’m not seeing both too much navel and too much crotch.

    • someonestolemyname says:

      Angelina is Absolutely Gorgeous head to toe.
      This is how it’s done…..Amal. Complete look from head to toe.

  3. Ann says:

    She’s padded on hips and ass, new fillers.
    As Michael K said she was trying to be Alexis Carrington but failed.

    • Mrs. Wellen Melon says:

      + 1

    • It is what it is says:

      +1 her arms….

    • Jen says:

      Agreed. I got excited when I read she’d put on some much needed weight but it seems to be padding. 🙁

      • Deb says:

        I was thinking the exact same thing. Her face and arms still seem super skinny, I think it’s just the illusion of the gown. She’s still really thin.

      • She might’ve–her face/torso seems fully, and not just because of the dress. She’s never really gained weight in her arms, ever–especially if that weight is just “fat” i.e. not muscle.

    • bella says:

      yes, yes…alexis carrington!
      that’s IT.
      this creature is one of the most spectacular beauty of all time.
      but she can NOT dress.
      her hair, lovely darker, but styled in some old fashioned way like kate middleton does.
      those sleeves! that cape weird top…WTF?
      so 70s…which would be OK if it was a fiercer style.
      that ruching at the waist???
      for older ladies with a thick gut.
      this is a sexy goddess…and she NEVER dresses in a way that her beauty deserves.
      gets it wrong every time.

      • jes_sayin says:

        Totally agree.. it’s just A SHAME she can’t pick dresses that do her beauty justice. Ugh…she should be knocking out of the park.

      • Nikki says:

        I’m an Angeloonie, but gotta agree. My 2 faves are AJ and Julianne Moore, both talented and utterly ravishing, and neither one dresses like the goddess she could be.

      • wolfpup says:

        She should not feel guilty for Brad’s choices – she is a woman of substance.

    • TheOnlyDee says:

      Lol. I usually don’t like her outfits on the red carpet (except her undone tux) but I am LOVING this Dynasty realness.

    • GoOnGirl! says:

      What the hell does Michael K know?

    • Joy says:

      I agree it’s either padding or really clever draping to give her a more hourglass look. She’s still beautiful and the people who want to scream about skinny shaming can yell at me all day. This is 15 lbs lighter than her most natural healthy weight she’s been since being famous.

      • Kim1 says:

        Well I am thirty lbs heavier than my “healthy” weight.All of us don’t maintain the same weight for twenty years.Some people lose weight, others gain weight.I am glad your weight has stayed the same throughout your adult life.

      • Joy says:

        SIGH. There’s someone who is super sensitive in every thread I swear. I would love to be as thin as she is. I’m not saying that she’s sick or looks bad or whatever. But there are people who claim this is how she’s always looked and it isn’t. That’s all I was saying before you projected your own issues into it. I think she looks great, but I think her body naturally is a little heavier. For whatever reason, this is how she likes it now, and that’s fine. But by all means, get angry and attack a total stranger. It’s fine.

      • qwerty says:

        She was pretty freaking famous 10 years ago when she got with Pitt and she didn’t look like THIS. She was never ever curvy contrary to what some people claim but she ony got scary skinny after 2005/6 or so.

      • Melanie says:

        I agree with Joy. Someone always wants to argue that AJ is naturally thin, has naturally skinny arms, blah, blah, blah. This isn’t snark. She is most definitely thinner than she used to be. And the reason I know this? Because my hubby is in loooove with her lol. And whenever he has seen her in recent years, he comments that she looks so much better with an extra 15-20 lbs. So it’s not just catty, jealous women noticing. Guys that think she’s hot notice too 😉

    • moomoo says:

      (oops double post)

      • Zwella Ingrid says:

        @Joy I’m wondering…lets assume she has picked up some weight. Do you think it could be from medication or hormonal related to her surgery?

    • moomoo says:

      I can’t unsee the fillers, but she is so beautiful it makes me want to get fillers…done by her doctor as I’ve seen too many fillers that look unnatural. I’m close to her age and like her, I’m skinnier than I was 10 years ago. As Catherine Deneuve once said, being skinny does no favors for one’s face.

  4. GiGi says:

    Dreamy. I think she looks better with this hair color (not that anyone’s asking…) the lighter shades of brown tend to wash her out somehow – make her look more tired. The dark hair adds to the overall vibrancy in this look and I’m loving it.

  5. lower-case deb says:

    it wasn’t that long ago, wasn’t the AFI luncheon “technically” a red carpet. although she brought a hobo with her that time.

  6. NewWester says:

    She looks great!

  7. Jayna says:

    I thought it looked dated. It just looks like a cheap knockoff gown. She looks beautiful, as always, though, and is one of the few women, because of her beauty and confidence and poise, that makes me forget she’s in something I don’t like.

  8. Maria says:

    Slaaaaaayyyyyyy Angie, slay.

    The corset underneath gives her curves but more importantly the cut fits her nicely. She does seem to have put on a little bit of weight, her face looks radiant.

    Also, I love her with darker hair, it brings out her features more.

    Gorgeous.

  9. kri says:

    Face and hair are perfection. Her gown is cool-reminds me of the 40’s glamor gowns. Where was The Pitt?

  10. sali says:

    Boring

  11. OriginalTessa says:

    I hate it. She dresses herself so severely.

  12. Tulsa says:

    Damn, she’s Gorgeous!!!

  13. lisa2 says:

    I’m sure the naysayers are going to come with usual.. ummm rope.. joan crawford/ Dynasty.. (per dlisted)

    I think she dressed for the period of the film; anyway she looks so sexy to me. I like it.. And I love her hair darker. The soft curls are just very carefree. She knows how to pose on a RC. And no matter what she is wearing she highlights it. She knows how to stand and position her body.

    Everyone swarmed her table. So many people were trying to get selfies with her. So nice to see her there. I wish Brad was there.. but I remember she wasn’t at the CCA when he was nominated for Moneyball.. They do go to events separately.. I don’t know what people think is going to happen when she and Aniston are in room together.. Just like at the Oscars those many years ago.. NOTHING HAPPENED.

    • Andrea1 says:

      Yeah
      Everyone wanted a piece of Angie

    • Crumpet says:

      The exception being ‘the incident of the leg straddle’.

      She looks lovely, though I would have loved a more vibrant lip. She looks a little monochromatic without it. Was she really padded? Her cheeks look so gaunt, I doubt she has gained weight.

    • TheOnlyDee says:

      Dynasty realness is not an insult to me. If someone said I looked like Alexis Carrington, I would take that as high praise. I think this looks fabulous because I am getting 80s glamor vibes from it!

      • Dee Kay says:

        Yeah for reals. Alexis Carrington Colby Dexter is the once and forever QUEEN of EVERYTHING. We should all be so lucky to be said to resemble Alexis just once in our lives.

  14. BendyWindy says:

    I love the dress. Really beautiful. I don’t think she gained any weight, though. I think the dress just has a lot of fabric in the hip area.

    • MrsBPitt says:

      I think she has gained a little weight! Her face looks a little fuller to me (does NOT look like fillers, you can tell fillers a mile away). As for her arms, I know I can gain weight everywhere and I STILL have skinny arms. Just the way I’m made. Maybe Angie’s is like that, too. I think her hair is gorgeous. She looks so glamerous!

      I wish Brad had been there, too!

  15. I love everything BUT the sleeves. I just hate those airy type sleeves. Reminds me of a little girl’s sunday school dress. But I so love the color.

    And her HAIR. OMFG. I think she got it cut, waved, and darkened, because it looks fabulous. And yes, she does look like she gained weight….she looks very happy. I always love how her true smile kind of exaggerates her already exaggerated features–it’s not this perfect, prim little smile. You can tell when she gets REALLY excited. I’m the exact same way–my face freaking contorts when I get excited about something, and I just CAN’T stop grinning. Ugh.

    • Esmom says:

      ITA agree about the sleeves, everything else is perfect.

      • CuriousCole says:

        Thank you! I wondered if I was the only one thrown by the sleeve length. If they were 2-3 inches shorter it would have been complete perfection. Angie still looked sublime, she can just carry off the color with dark hair.

    • PrincessMe says:

      Right there with you. I think it would have been much better without those sleeves. Especially since she has slim hands, I don’t think those sleeves were right for her. But my goodness, she is amazingly beautiful. I love it when she smiles big like that, makes it look like she’s having so much fun.

    • Lucy2 says:

      I agree, the sleeves bother me. I like the silver and the bodice (that is some intense corset she has on underneath) and her hair looks great.

    • betteboo says:

      Agree. Everything about her whole look is perfect EXCEPT the sleeves. Too much fabric going on there

    • Anastasia says:

      You said EXACTLY what I was going to say. The hair is a win, I love that she actually smiles, and the sleeves bug.

  16. Andrea1 says:

    Gorgeous!

  17. Lilacflowers says:

    Need. That. Dress. Now.

  18. jen says:

    Eh it’s OK; a little prom-like. But I do like her hair and makeup.

  19. Sugar says:

    You guys! This dress is not good at all! There’s a reason Kaiser think she gained weight and it’s not because she did. Hint: it’s the awful dress. For starters those sleeves do not belong on the dress. They add volume where it’s not needed and make Angelina look broad across the beam. Secondly, the bodice isn’t cut correctly because that loose drape is doing Angelina no favors.

    There’s the germ of a good dress here (the waist area is nice) but Donatella Versace needs to go back and start over because this is a bad look.

    • Jayna says:

      That’s why I don’t like it. I am not a fan of the sleeves, and that draped bodice is so wide, that it’s not flattering at all.

    • Becks says:

      Yes, that dress is just tragic. Ugh.

      Although, her hair color and makeup are on point.

  20. Greata says:

    Perfection!

  21. Brandii says:

    Thats a lovely dress. As I said in the “other” thread, all bodies are lovely. Angelina can be as bony as she likes and the other party should be able to flash her gravity afflicted boobs every now and then without body shaming brigades.

    Another thing, if Angie showed up to this it was because she thought she could win. Or perhaps she knew she couldnt win and was there to needle a certain somebody which would explain 1) the extra effort with the dress for a small awards show and 2) why Brad wasnt there to support his own film and his wife.

    Your thoughts and insults (?) are welcome.

    • Lady D says:

      My thought is, she knew she wasn’t going to win best director but the movie was also up for 3 tech awards, and she was there to support her movie.
      Maybe Brad has chicken pox. 🙂

    • ican'tsnap says:

      People already think she’s too self-important, she can’t just NOT show up to events when she’s nominated for an award (People’s Choice being the exception). I bet MOST of the nominees last night wish they could’ve skipped that shitshow… but it’s the game, you gotta play it to win it.

  22. Elly says:

    i love the style of the dress, but the colour looks so wrong on her pale skin. She looks cold…like marble. Red would have been a better choice. The silhouette is wow and sexy, but obviously padded when you look at he arms….

    Another commenter said her elbow looks like a foreskin. I can´t unsee it now.

    http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/01/16/24BDCD6300000578-2912447-Ready_to_mingle_Angelina_talked_to_British_actor_Eddie_Redmayne_-a-1_1421398846946.jpg

    • jen says:

      …now I can’t Unsee it.

      She’s too young to be saggy like that in that area. She’s just too damn thin

      • Bloorville says:

        I remember reading an interview where she talks about all of her scars, and she said she chipped/broke her elbow when she was young. But don’t let a flaw due to an injury stop you from insulting the beautiful girl…please carry on on behalf of your fug coddled hairdo.

      • Elly says:

        Her other elbow looks the same… maybe she broke them too 😉 ?

  23. Rosalee says:

    and an angel arrived..cue the harps!! Unleash the worshipers! Truly, she looks beautiful and it would have been a lovely dress but those sleeves are hideous, they overemphasize her teeny tiny arms.

  24. Katie says:

    I think she looks like a wax figure in the first picture. Overall, the dress is nice but not noteworthy. The color doesn’t really work with her skin tone. But people will love it because she is Angie.

    • Catk says:

      That’s the first thing I thought. I think she’s had some fillers done recently, and looks waxy. It’s a given that she’s gorgeous, but she needs to stop whatever she’s done to her face. The dress is meh.

    • GingerCrunch says:

      Agreed and agreed.

    • Cirque28 says:

      A wax figure: yep. I think she is naturally extremely beautiful (including some minor tweaks very early in her career) but she looks like a strange, glossy Barbie doll here. What has our society come to? KimK looks trashy and inhuman and Angelina looks glamorous and inhuman and we consider the latter more aesthetically pleasing, seriously?

  25. Karen says:

    The back of the dress (not pictured) is beautiful! I dislike the flutter sleeves. Overall i think the dress flatters her body, but her arms are still tiny so i don’t think much weight gain is happening. Her custom Versace lately has been hit or miss.

  26. xboxsucks says:

    She looks gorgeous and bit more heavy …like she ate someone s Cake slice !!

  27. mikkie says:

    To me it looks like a nightgown.

  28. Erm says:

    The dress looks over engineered in the waist and hip area. Not a good look. I love her darker hair though, and it looks gorgeous when it’s got body like that.

  29. Josephine says:

    The dress is very her and she looks beautiful but I find her looks so dang exhausting. This dress is for an older woman, not someone in her 30’s or 40’s. She always wears such mature styles and I would love to see her mix it up a bit. Her best looks are her black suits and tuxedos b/c they are so much more youthful. She stays very true to her style, but I just wish she would bust out something softer.

  30. Amy Tennant says:

    I love it! (Are Reese and JA enemies really, or did you just mean that they are nominated against each other? Don’t tell me the Green sibs don’t get along)!
    I wonder if Brad was staying home with the kiddos? I choose to interpret this as their relationship is good and solid enough to withstand their doing business things separately. Anyway, I think she looks stunning here. And yeah, did people think there was going to be Dynasty-style hair pulling and drink-throwing? Please.

  31. vauvert says:

    I think she looks gorgeous as always. And the darker hair is stunning, and she has an amazing smile.

  32. Stou says:

    Indeed she looks heavier and more healthy, but… This kind of shiny fabrics are Known to make you take several pounds. Perfect when you lack of meat, as a very skinny one, I have used This trick since ever

  33. Maya says:

    Angelina is one of the few remaining actresses who can bring the old hollywood glamour without looking fake, trashy or overdone.

    That face can launch a thousand ships, the hair colour is gorgeous and makes her skin glow more, dress is the perfect fit and shows of her figure.

    Angelina is the queen of Hollywood which was proven again yesterday when there were several tweets where people praised her, wanted to take selfies with her, several famous celebs went to her table to chat and take pictures like Reese, Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette, Eddie Redmayne etc.

    Plus Angelina never has to say who she is wearing because the designers immediately put it on Twitter that Angelina is wearing their design.

  34. Amcn says:

    She looks gorgeous.

  35. aenflex says:

    Her face looks little different, a bit like she might’ve had some work done or fillers. Whatever was done, it does look good. I would’ve liked the dress better were it sleeveless. Her arms, as always, repulse me.

  36. Nola says:

    I was digging it until I saw how skinny her arms are. Angie looks best with some meat on the bones.

  37. Ennie says:

    She looks beautiful here. Regal, she has great posture. I love how she and Brad are able to go to events separately, not clinging all the time on to the other.
    She has nice rapport with others, as per demonstrated at her table, attending and chatting away with others, not “hated by HW” like some say.
    She does look like she gained weight, I noticed at the other event where she was wearing a suit, her face looks more like her father’s shape when she gains weight. She is a beautiful combination of genes, oh, and her arms are the last thing where she gains weight, so criticize away something that she cannot change.

  38. kendra says:

    Angelina looks great, loved the dress.

  39. Tig says:

    Love the darker hair color on her-very dramatic. Agree with color of dress washing her out. I wish she’d explore the copper/bronze color palate- those colors are so flattering on her, not that she needs much help-LOL!

  40. LoisLane says:

    Don t know if Brad absence was on purpose or not but if it was my theory is that it was to avoid the ex. With Brad there the two couple couldn’t have ignored each other since Jen and Brad prentend to still be in touch (which we all know is total BS).

    • Amcn says:

      It’s okay, Ethan Hawke was willing to slip into Brad’s place. Just kidding, but he looked a little smitten.

    • Beep says:

      Brad Pitt and his ex wife have been at the same events in the past. Oscars and the George Clooney Telethon. Both times they Seemed to have ignored each other. Maybe he got sick or maybe Brangelina are in a fight and she told him to stay his behind home. Shrugs. I really don’t care because I always focus on Jolie and barely notice Pitt on red carpets and award shows.

    • Luca76 says:

      No drama need be inserted.As in the past he didn’t attend because it’s a lesser awards show. The only time they attend these things are either if both are nominated or if it’s a bigger show like the Oscars or Globes.
      I highly doubt the ex factored in at all.

    • Bloorville says:

      Ohright, it’s BRAD that’s doing the ‘pretending.’ Please. You know it’s all Aniston. Brad hasn’t said anything implying a friendship since 2008. He went along being a gentleman until she started the 2008 ‘Uncool’ Cat Fight as career strategy with her PR flack, and he was done. Since then it’s been only her trying to make like they’re ‘friendly,’ even as Brad goes about his bidness not having shite to do with her.

  41. scout says:

    OMG!! Ok, here is my eye and mind cleanser. She looks like a Goddess, except those sleeves are old fashioned bell flares but still, thank you for saving my senses today Angie! LOL!
    I think whole Hollywood people are hating on her now after all that Dame thing, Papal movie screening, Unbroken box office, handsome husband and gorgeous kids! Perfect!! Seems to me like most awards and good reviews on their movies are bought, very few are well deserved anyway.

  42. Lucy says:

    PERFECTION. Simple, yet glamorous.

  43. bns says:

    She looks terrible. The dress is hideous and her face does look strange. I can’t believe she isn’t even 40 yet.

    • Kim1 says:

      ITA I can’t believe she isn’t 40 yet considering all of her accomplishments.I wonder when she starts directing her 4th feature film?

      • bns says:

        You mean her 4th feature that the Academy will ignore again? Can’t wait.

      • Kim1 says:

        Unbroken is nominated for 3 Oscars.
        A film is ignored when it receives no nominations.
        BTW I hope Roger recieves his first Oscar this year after being nominated 12 times.
        I love that Angie didn’t TALK about wanting to direct films for years.She JUST DID IT.

      • Maya says:

        How many features were Clint Eastwood, Kathryn Bigelow, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg and many more ignore for by the Academy before their finally won?

        And how many features have they ignored and never given awards to from David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, Sofia Coppola etc?

        Angelina is in good company..

  44. AntiSocialButterfly says:

    The deep hair color looks fantastic on her- it makes her look younger (than those bad highlights she had previously). It really makes her skin look wonderful. Make-up is always lovely.
    As for the dress, I’m pretty meh. It’s a step up from the bland neutrals she typically gravitates toward. I don’t really like the capelet sleeves, but the poor woman has received so much flack about her thin arms that I’m not surprised by the choice.

    • Bloorville says:

      Phhft. ‘Poor woman?’ Yeah ok hon. a Google search will tell you Jolie never hides her arms. She was in tanks showing them off all summer on set — she’s always not given a f. But I get a lot of fans of the neurotic one want her to be as self conscious as J-anus, so when she isn’t — they’ll talk an issue to death in the hopes she becomes the person they know their coddled idol to be, and start slinking around and drinking liquid courage. It’s not going to happen. Which I guess will eventually only enrage you further.

  45. Ginger says:

    I like the dress style and her hair. She always looks gorgeous to me. Just not a fan of the dress color. I would really love to see her in some bright colors for a change of pace.

  46. MJ says:

    She looks divine! I love this dress. It’s glam but looks comfortable, and I would totally wear it. Her darker hair looks fab, as well. I’ve always thought she looks better with darker hair. It really brings out the creaminess of her complexion.

  47. Beep says:

    She looks beautiful. Her face looks amazing and the dress is sexy. yes I too think she’s gained weight.

    After the Ethan Hawke Interview you guys posted I thought you’d jumped at the chance to post those Ethan /Jolie Photos. They look hot and sexy together.

    • zut alors! says:

      They look good together. You can tell that Ethan REALLY likes her. They have a comfortable easy going vibe.

      I would love for her to start attending more events by herself. She seems more relaxed. I must say I found the pics of her full on hugging American Citizen on American Soil Reece Witherspoon, quite lovely. The fact that she was sitting next to Universal head Donna Langley was just icing on the cake. My only quibble is I would like for her to cut down on the Botox. She is veering in to Nicole Kidman territory there.

  48. Dante says:

    Hate the sleeves, she looks great otherwise. I would still like to see a weight gain of 15 lbs, I really think it would fill out her arms. Her hair is beautiful and I am happy to see her not fall victim to that greased down hair look I am seeing on so many starlets this season.

  49. Zigggy says:

    She’s a knockout. I like the darker hair.

  50. Janet says:

    Not crazy about this look. The color is gorgeous and with her pale skin it looks lovely on her. The body is draped exquisitely. But the sleeves make it look top-heavy and throw it all out of proportion. It should have had long narrow sleeves or no sleeves at all.

    Also, I think she looks great in bright red lipstick.

  51. Jade says:

    It’s a refreshing dress! I like it and her hair colour is fine. When she gets it right, she is really the red carpet queen and queen of Hollywood!

  52. Jayna says:

    That left side of her hair is bothering me. It’s like the above-the-ear part the stylist teased it too far out and stiff. I love that she cut her hair shorter and darkened it again, though. It’s in the third photo that you can really see it. Far away it’s not bad or certain angles. Maybe it’s just that photo. I don’t know. Other than that, I liked her hairstyle.

  53. FingerBinger says:

    No. The shoulder pads make her look like a linebacker.

    • Janet says:

      Thank you. I hated the whole 80s shoulder pad thing and don’t want to see them brought back.

  54. BellaBella says:

    She makes everyone else look like such a basic bitch.

    • Bloorville says:

      Which is why the fug b’s up top, have nothing nice to say ever – meangirls to the bone, be they 35 or 65. lmao

  55. L says:

    Gorgeous!

  56. Santolina says:

    Good to see Angelina on her own, not clinging to Brad like a barnacle.

    • Bloorville says:

      Yet anis always clinging to her unknown midget poseur that she’s contracted with — is A-OK??. Why so mad at two people actually in REAL love? Hahaha

      • Santolina says:

        How is this relevant to my comment? This is about Angelina standing on her own. I said nothing about Brad’s ex or their marital relationship.

      • Katherine says:

        It’s relevant, Santolina [ahem], because that’s what you’re really on about.

        BTW, love your name. ;D.

      • Santolina says:

        [Ahem], Katherine? What I’m “on about?” You can read anything you want into my comment, but I won’t be bullied. I’ll say this one more time: I couldn’t give a rat’s a$$ about Jennifer Aniston or Brad Pitt.

  57. Sassback says:

    I love this dress so so much. She looks like a 1920’s starlet. It’s definitely makes her look curvaceous. This is a dress that I think would look good on most women. The stuff Christina Hendricks should try to wear, because she is usually styled so so badly, as much as I love her.

  58. Truthteller says:

    I don’t usually comment but I have to add my two cents. This woman is absolutely stunning and, excepting wild younger years , is always a class act. She just effortlessly exceeds the Gwynnies, Witherspoons, AND Anistons of our generation. Jessica Chastain is the only one I can think of that *sometimes* brings to mind old school glamour like AJ…maybe Charlize when she doesn’t have her complete bitchface on.

    • Ennie says:

      I love how she has blossomed from a young woman with deep emotions to a woman who is more than accomplished at her still young age, all the pictures of her socializing, great to see.
      I admire that she is a doer.

      I remember that Juliette Lewis said that Brad was attracted to women who had an “edge” or something like that. He really funked it up in the past (I blame the weed hahaha), but he really hit the center with AJ.

    • Jayna says:

      I think you are forgetting Cate Blanchett, who exudes old Hollywood glamour on the red carpet more often that not. Nicole Kidman has also done some beautiful old Hollywood glamour on the red carpet, regal.

      • Dee Kay says:

        @Jayna you are right. Jolie, Blanchett, and Kidman are three that can really bring Old Hollywood to life on the contemporary red carpet. All three sometimes wear gowns that are “misses” rather than “hits,” but when they get it right, it’s perfection.

        I would love to see them in a film together, btw. I think that not only are all three gorgeous “models” for high couture fashion, they also are all amazing actresses. (Except that Kidman’s botoxing has seriously reduced her ability to emote.)

      • Katherine says:

        I can remember Patricia Arquette trying to bring the glamour in the past. She’s a beautiful and sexy woman and I can’t quite remember if she ever pulled it off completely but she did like her some glamour. So with the right stylist Arquette could do this as well.

  59. tabasco says:

    The shoulders are a bit much.

  60. Bea says:

    I think the best thing about her is her total confidence.

    She owned everything last night and didn’t need her plus one to lean on – knowing she was gliding into the lion’s den of press who were waiting with baited breath to see if she would run into…people….and if anything would happen.

    She rocked it. Beautifully.

  61. Paige says:

    I absolutely love her darker hair. I like the style of her dress but I don’t like the color. She does look gorgeous.

  62. QQ says:

    OOOFFF That Dress’ Drapery is an Exquisite thing

  63. Phenix says:

    That might be the most beautiful dress I have seen in my entire life. Needless to say, I love it.

  64. Isla says:

    I guess I’m in the minority – the dress is hideous. It looks like she borrowed it from The Golden Girls’, Blanche Devereaux’s closet and the silver metallic material does nothing to bring life into her face.

  65. India says:

    I love her in this dress. It is so fabulous.

  66. Hotpockets says:

    I love Angelina, but two things here are killing her otherwise beautiful look:

    1. Her under eye concealer is too light, people have a tendency to think that going several shades lighter is beneficial, but not only does it not cut the darkness effectively, it washes you out. I would have chosen a deeper lipstick too.

    2. Her sleeves. The dress would have been gorgeous if it were cap sleeves or even better, sleeveless.

  67. Reece says:

    Love it! Except for the first picture she looks like “Creeper Brunette Barbie” in that picture.

  68. Diana B says:

    Soooooo gorgeous!!!! finally somebody who got it right last night. She was perfection.

  69. siri says:

    Dislike everything about this outfit. The color that doesn’t go well with her skin tone, the bad tailoring that looks like padding, the sleeves that seem to have a life of their own, and make her arms look even thinner. The only thing I like is the fact that it isn’t black. But still it looks like she borrowed it from the Denver Clan set. The big hair also could be from that period. Yet she carries herself so well, that I’m willing to forgive her 😉

  70. teri says:

    Loved her hair color and the dress. Absolutely gorgeous.

  71. serena says:

    Gorgeous!!! Darker hair really suit her the best!

  72. I Choose Me says:

    I like the darker hair. Can’t say I’m keen on the dress.

  73. rudy says:

    Angeline Jolie is the most gorgeous woman in the movies this decade.

    Hands down.
    I love the dress btw.

  74. ican'tsnap says:

    She looks like she’s in a costume. The dress looks cheap, like something from the community theater costume closet, and with the hair styled in period-appropriate waves, it’s just too much the same. She looks like she’s dressed in character. She always chooses gowns that are too obvious, there’s no subtlety in her red carpet style. Always so overdone, she never looks like a real person. Is she afraid of people seeing the real person underneath?

    Also, and I know this is low because maybe she didn’t expect them to be so GIANT AND OBVIOUS, but those replacement bolt-ons… jesus christ. They’re all I can see.

  75. Guest says:

    thanks for admitting to being a loon. Negates any idea of unbiased diplomacy or sincerity in everything you say.

  76. Tara says:

    She looked gorgeous, but way overdressed for the Critic’s Choice Awards.

    • norah says:

      how was she over dressed – all the others were just as glam – she was not wearing any huge jewellery very subtle and simple

  77. Kathryn says:

    I really like the silhouette, but I think the metallic finish is what’s throwing me off. That combined with her very dark, curly hair. If the dress had a matte finish, and she went with straightened hair that was half up and behind her shoulders, the look would have been flawless.

  78. Leslie says:

    Whoever did her makeup did a decent job. Her face looks good, but that dress with its billowing sleeves accentuates her toothpick arms.

  79. daughterofjean says:

    She’s a beautiful woman but honestly she looks awful here. Overly botoxed and the dress looks like some old lady’s dressing gown. I could go on but I’ll leave it at that.

  80. Grant says:

    SNOOZE. Angie rarely delivers fashion-wise and this is no exception.

    • Bloorville says:

      Too bad then, that unlike Anis (in fashion or movies), she has CONSENSUS with everyone with working eyeballs in the media saying she OWNED the proceedings. Don’t be bvtt hurt.

  81. Michelle Felice says:

    I love it!!! Such class……like a throw back to when people cared about the way they looked.

  82. Cecilia says:

    Is one of her kids getting married? Thought they were all still pretty young.

    • Greek Chic says:

      Where did you hear this? Her oldest kid is 14.

    • Bloorville says:

      She’s implying it’s a mother of the bride dress, matronly. Of course it’s anything but, which is why she won all the best dressed lists. They’re just still mad the almost 50 yr old sitcom hack who looks like tootsie is being called an embarrassing joke.

  83. Marlaann says:

    Not a fan…especially the sleeves, too distracting. Maybe it’s because I noticed how scrawny she is….not good

  84. Greek Chic says:

    Angelina is a goddess. I am not crazy about the dress because i don’t like satin, but she’s SO beautiful that she can wear anything. I think lighter hair suit her more but i also like her with dark black hair because they give me old school-bad girl Angelina vibes.

    • Nibbi says:

      I agree with you that her darker hair seems slightly harsh, but yet it reminds me of bad girl A too 🙂
      I think she did gain a smidge of weight because her face reminds me of the glow she had wearing that beautiful emerald dress I think at the Oscars when she was pregnant.
      Maybe I’ll go dye my hair black now so that later on I can make this same change and instead of it making me look older, confusing people and seeing younger wilder versions of me 🙂 Not so sure about getting pregnant with twins, tho

      • Greek Chic says:

        Angelina had black hair in her wild days and here she looks a lot like her ’90s self.
        I agree that she put a little weight,her face seems fuller.

  85. Bread and Circuses says:

    SQUEE!! Ooh pretty pretty dress pretty dress SQUEE!!

    Yes, I’m with Kaiser on this one. 🙂

  86. maggie says:

    Harsh!

  87. pnichols says:

    I don’t like the dress, the material, the color. Washes her out. I also thought she looked thinner. She is stunning but I’m not feelin this look.

  88. MAC says:

    I wish the dress was a purple not a light one (light lilac) and with that keep the metallic fabric.
    That with her hair would have been lovely.
    The daily mail had photos of her dress last night and the back of it was pretty.

  89. boo says:

    I’m sure Zamp would have loved it. Fishy.

  90. Kimberly says:

    This isn’t exactly my favourite look for Angie and the fabric looks a bit cheap. I’ve seen her look much better before……………..but it’s very refreshing to see her in any colour that isn’t white/ black. Whew!!

    I must agree with some ppl. here in regards to her darker hair colour.
    I think she looks great with darker hair. It really highlights her beautiful eyes.

  91. WhereTheWindBlows says:

    GORGEOUS! Many people say was the BEST DRESSED of the night.

  92. BadAssCompass says:

    first time in a long time I haven’t been floored with her appearance and I’ve also rarely been a fan of her fashion. This look is just too much of everything, imo, and darker hair is slightly aging her, but I like that she’s playing at least with those colors. Dress is maybe a tad bit too much for this type of event and knowing you’re just there to support your movie, but hey, girl wanted to dress up, so ok. Someone mentioned possible cheek implants that have not settled, if nohing she clearly has some maintenance going on, because just compare her skin tightness and texture with for instance Emily Blunt’s who is 8 years younger. I mean, she was pretty before but she did have her gorgeousness subtly sculpted somewhere along the way and that terrific work should be all she ever does before it becomes too obvious and turns her praised beauty into joke.

  93. sug#1 says:

    Angelina Jolie rocked the CCA house. The picture her with Eddie Redmayne is so adorable-both appear to be engaged in a happy conversation probably about being newlyweds as he seems to be playing with his ring finger. Or maybe he is reminding himself that he just got married being in the presence of the goddess that is Angelina Freaking Jolie❤️her

  94. Scoutie says:

    What a total goddess! I wish she’d put on some weight as I find her thinness alarming but she’s so classy and elegant, always.

  95. Otaku fairy says:

    She looks beautiful. And I like the darker hair color on her.

  96. Katherine says:

    Angelina has looked like she gained weight since her illness. Her face looks like it did when she was pregnant and the rest of her looks a bit heavier – not just at the CCAs.

    We can pick outfits apart eg sleeves etc but the reality is that not every event gets a custom made dress. Sometimes they pick the best of what they are sent or they fall in love with a feature of the dress like the draping or the material or how well it fits a certain body area. You can rarely tell what material is really like from still photographs – you can tell a bit more from video but often the real beauty of a fabric can only be appreciated in person.

  97. I_Answer_The_Headline_Question says:

    Angelina Jolie in Versace at the Critics Choice: Hershey’s Kiss realness?

    i dont know about Hershey’s Kisses realness, but the sleeves should have been fitted rather than flouncy and the padding around the hips and butt should be removed.

  98. nicolenm says:

    Pity she doesn’t have a better stylist. The look is a little Miss America. Her tacky tattoos are always a distraction. I like her hair when it’s darker.
