Angelina Jolie in Ulyana Sergeenko at ‘The Breadwinner’ premiere: regal or meh?

'The Breadwinner' - Premiere

I love mother-daughter date nights. I think it’s really sweet! On Friday night, Angelina Jolie had a special “date night” with Shiloh and Zahara, both of whom are getting so tall! They went to the premiere of The Breadwinner, the film Angelina produced and has been low-key promoting for months. Angelina happily posed on the red carpet with Shiloh and Zahara, plus young actress Saara Chaudry.

For the premiere, Jolie chose this Ulyana Sergeenko dress in a lovely cream color. Considering the last time we saw her on a red carpet, she was wearing a literal blanket, I’m all for any kind of couture on Jolie. I like her in white/cream, I like the weird sleeves and I’m okay with the length. My one complaint is that I think the dress could have been cut better around her bust – you could tell the fit was “off” in the bust in profile. I especially enjoy the brooch – it adds a regal flair to the whole look, like Angelina is being styled by the Queen. As for Shiloh and Zahara, they both went with black looks, Shiloh in a suit and Zahara in a sort of goth-romantic dress. Sometimes I think Shi looks so much like Brad, but then in other angles, all I see is the Jolie in her face.

Angelina did the introduction for the film and she talked about how difficult it was and is to be a girl in Afghanistan, where the film is set. You can read more here. In other Jolie news, she’s signed on for some voice work in the animated film The One and Only Ivan. She’ll be working for Disney again – not the worst call at all, especially since she’ll be doing Maleficent 2 with Disney.

    It’s as if the dress was made before she had boobs! It’s quite pretty other than the poor fit. Nice to see her out with 2 of her children. She looks quite happy.

    • Alix says:

      I’m getting a Princess Leia vibe from this dress.

      Is it me, or did Jolie go up quite a few sizes with her implants? They seem a bit out of proportion… or maybe a better it with 10-15 more pounds?

      Shiloh and Zahara and lovely. Such vibrant expressions!

      • Adele Dazeem says:

        I agree, I think the reconstruction implants didn’t quite fit/settle as planned. They look a bit like Ivanka Trump’s—I’m no plastic surgeon, but something is off. With Angelina’s frail frame, she should have gone a little smaller. Then again, as a naturally large busted person, I’m never one to have boob envy. Frankly I envy small boobed women lol.

      • Jenny says:

        I agree, she should have gone smaller with the implants to fit her extremely thin frame better. Now they look almost cartoonish.

        I can also sympathize with wishing for smaller boobs. Even though I love my own, bigger breasts tend to be inconvenient, esp when running or doing other bouncy exercises. .

    • magnoliarose says:

      She has never been a fashion icon and sometimes dresses in ill-fitting granny clothes or like her fashion inspo is Bea Arthur. This dress is tailored badly and looks like a poly blend and I can see the outline of her under garment.

      • Maya says:

        I think it’s a problem of double mastectomy and reconstruction, I do pilates with a woman and these days she was complaining that she thought after double mastectomy and reconstruction the breasts seemed to be moving away, that sometimes it seemed that the prosthesis was going to her armpits, she even asked our pilates instructor if doing an arm exercise could move the protests …… she said no, and then she would talk to the surgeon and her oncologist.

        I think prothesis is up to the size of Angelina’s old breasts, but rebuilding after a double mastectomy is very different from simply placing silicone. I think on account of her breasts being quite apart, it’s not any clothes that they look good on.
        But really she’s always dressed in much older clothes for her age …. she’s young, beautiful ……..

        But I think this second surgery has affected her even more, she even says that her body suffered and is suffering from the effects of forced menopause …….

        But in these 2 videos I liked how she dressed:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnnzNUD4VwM

        She looks so cute with Jr and Agnes varda

      • Artemis says:

        Instead of employing a stylist, she should start employing a tailor. Not sure if Jen Rade helped her pick this outfit but if she did, she needs to be sacked because any stylist worth their salt should now that a woman with big breast should never wear a dress with that neckline. It’s terrible and emphasizes her ‘pointed’ and separate breasts. I’m not blaming the breasts, I’m blaming Jolie and possibly Jen Rade for not working with them with a decent style dress and tailor and choosing to work against them with this matronly style. As a former big-breasted girl, I had to learn what works and what doesn’t.

        Also I’ll never understands why she choose that size of breasts because it’s harder to work with that size than with the original size she had. These are Lara Croft/twin pregnancy breasts.

    • Wisca says:

      How can men change when women attack the post-mastectomy breasts of an actress-activist? We have so internalized our own oppression that we see through a male gaze. She looks great and the children in the picture look wonderful.

      Having said this, I understand that this is a gossip site, and gossips are going to go in.

      • Lensblury says:

        Wisca, thank you. I was trying to explain exactly that to my boyfriend yesterday, and I believe he understood what I meant, which was nice.
        She looks so happy in these pictures. Seeing her and two of her kids like that made me smile, too.

      • SallyS says:

        Agreed. I think most of the attacks on her are due to jealousy.

      • Felicia says:

        Well, call me “oppressed”, but I would think that the point of breast reconstruction (and any plastic surgery) is to acheive results that look as natural as possible. I have no idea why she chose to go up a couple of cup sizes, the size she had suited her. These don’t. They’re far too large for her frame. Personally, they’re the very first thing I notice in most pictures of her these days (unless she’s wearing a blanket) and not in a good way. I doubt I’m alone in that, hence the number of comments. You look at someone like Christina Applegate, you don’t have the same reaction.

        To me, this is much the same thing as people who go overboard on botox and can’t move their faces, or those who go overboard on fillers and end up with huge duck lips or get a facelift that’s so tight they look like they are in a wind tunnel. Less is more.

      • Citney anise says:

        As someone who has gone through both a preventative mastectomy and complete hysterectomy, I can certainly relate to the problems ask to associated with both.

        Clothes do not fit the same, bras do not fit, an unconstructed bra is the most comfortable, but no bra is preferable for most women.

        As for Angie going up in size, I don’t think she did, it’s just that reconstructed breasts are so much more Fuller than natural breasts, there is little to no droop as in natural breasts. As for those who claim Angie had the surgery done just to have “new” breasts, that is something no woman would do. I was small breasted and even after the smallest implants were used I looked as if I’d went up at least one size. Angie had always had large breasts, at least before 2 pregnancies and breastfeeding 3 babies. The surgeon likely went by her original breast size, which would account for her looking bustier than in recent years.

        It bothers me to see women turning on other women because of reconstructed surgery, that’s a very sad ,not to mention cruel thing to do.

    • Ravensdaughter says:

      It could be regal with lots of distracting bling!

      • truth hurts says:

        I too think her breasts are the same size. It maybe because of the bras she wears propping them up. When she doesn’t wear a bra people talk about her nipples. When she wears just a cami they look natural. She may have needed to go down a size if she new they would be lifted with a bra, probably the reason she does go bra-less at times. I’m quite sure she thought about her then husbands desires also hence the reason she had the nipple transplant to make them look almost real. It has to be difficult knowing most people will be criticizing something she did for preventative care but that is the tale of her life. People will always find something to talk about.
        No she isn’t the best dressed celeb, but the bitch is wearing shite that is fluffing her bank accounts. I don’t think she cares whether gossip sites find it flattering. She is cashing checks to wear these clothes, shoes, bags,etc. So there you have have it.

  2. Handwoven says:

    Lordy. Those children have style and pose beyond what I think I even have now, let alone the awkward gangly mess I was at that age!

    • Naddie says:

      Give your former self a break, you weren’t born with a camera in your face like them, lol.

  3. Snowflake says:

    She dresses so much older than her age. I wish she would wear some modern clothing. To me, this dress looks like something a much older lady would wear. I’m 41, I would never dress the way she does.

    • Jamie42 says:

      So much agree with this. She needs to understand that she is still a beautiful, sexy, woman and that it’s okay to look like it. This dress is poorly fitted and does nothing for her.

    • Beth says:

      +100 way too old lady style. It looks like something my grandmother used to wear in her 80’s back in the 1980’s. Angie has been dressing badly lately

    • Esmom says:

      Yes, I’m 50 and would never wear this and I’m not exactly a style maven. It just screams matronly to me, especially the long length. There is a vast middle ground between old lady and young kitten.

    • Eleonor says:

      Totally agree.
      She is such a beauty I can’t believe she wears like a 70’s yo lady !
      I also think she still hasn’t learned how to dress her new brest: or she wears sack dresses, or her dresses have terrible fit in the bust, + the nipples on display all the time, girl change bra !

    • tracking says:

      +5

    • FHMom says:

      Very matronly. The kids look great, though.

    • Louise177 says:

      I think her red carpet looks have looked matronly because these are serious films. I think Angelina tones it down a lot more when the films are serious or she’s attending as a guest. Most of these carpet events look low key anyway. She probably thinks wearing something that makes her stick out takes away from the movie. Although I’m sure she could find conservative outfits that are more flattering.

      • WMGDtoo says:

        That is what some fans say all the time. Truth is you can dress in an interesting outfit without taking away from the film. One doesn’t negate the other. She dresses like an old lady. But if you look at her style over the years even when she first hit; she has never really had much of a style sense. Especially when she is dressing off big events. I believe her clothing reflects her true personality. She is way more boring than some would like to admit. Edgy/Boring

    • bluhare says:

      It’s not the dress; it’s the way she’s wearing it. Cut two inches off the hem, tailor it and accessorize it properly – with the right shoes as well – and that dress would be amazing.

    • Becks says:

      I’m a year older than her and there’s no way in the world I would wear that dress. It’s so matronly!

    • bettyrose says:

      I don’t mind that she dresses older. She’s lived like five lifetimes of reinventing herself, been adored for her physical beauty by more and for longer than most, and I can understand if she’s ready to just retire into a matronly image and no longer GAF. What I don’t get is how ill-fitting that dress is. Too tight here and too lose there. It doesn’t look comfortable.

    • Curiosity says:

      Nightgown

    • Char says:

      I’ve seen the dress in Ulyana herself and Natalia Vodianova and it didn’t looked as matronly as does in Angelina, it’s probably the color.

  4. crazydaisy says:

    The dress is okay and it’s fine that she’s doing intelligent children’s films but how about this: bring back Ileana Scott! Ileana was the brave and brilliant, possibly psychic, driven and intriguing FBI investigator Angelina played in Taking Lives. So much potential for sequels with this character, who would only get smarter and better with age. I would totally go to the movies for that!

    • Plantpal says:

      just went to amazon.ca to purcharse taking lives. Thanks for the tip!

      • crazydaisy says:

        I watched it last night on Netflix! Despite some unfortunate loose threads/plot holes, Angie (incredibly beautiful) and the rest of cast do a great job. I still screamed at one point and my dog came running over to see what was wrong…so I’d say the film holds up over time, lol.

  5. Shambles says:

    Shiloh has Angie’s mouth and cheekbones. Such a lovely human. Angie is gorgeous, of course, but PLEASE. I beseech you. WEAR SOME COLOR. She is lethal in jewel tones and I wish she would wear them more. This would have been amazing in a ruby red, emerald green, or even some kind of amethyst .

    • LizLemonGotMarried says:

      Do you remember the green silk dress she wore when she was pregnant with the twins? That woman looked incredible in that color.

      • Sophia's Side eye says:

        Yes, she was stunning in that green dress!

      • Shambles says:

        That’s exactly what I was thinking of. She was Venus. A goddess.

      • notasugarhere says:

        I remember she gave it to Jack Black’s wife when she was also expecting.

        NY Daily News

        “You were preggers, and I spilled the beans,” Black reminisced alongside Jolie about how he let slip during a 2008 Cannes interview that she was carrying twins. “And my wife, Tanya, was like, ‘That is the most amazing maternity dress I’ve ever seen.’ You had this gorgeous gown, and she was less preggers, but she had one on the way as well.

        “And you’re like, ‘Oh, thanks.’ And then, what do we get in the mail like the next week? That gown,” Black said to Jolie. “You sent it over. It was one of the sweetest gifts of all time.”

  6. Neil says:

    The broach looks very lovely and fetching on Angie and contrary to what some might think (trolls) Zahara looks age appropriate and yet edgy. Shilo has an almost James Dean thing happening.; mini icon in the making.

  7. Cleatta says:

    Everyone says Shiloh looks exactly like Brad but I think she’ll grow up to be a dead ringer for Angelina based on some of Angelinas baby/kid pictures.

    Zahara is so grown up and pretty and it makes me feel old. 😭

    • bettyrose says:

      I see that. Shiloh looks a lot like AJ. She has Brad’s hairstyle, which makes her appear to look more like him, but she’s got AJ’s personality in that face. Difference being that Shiloh has always been allowed to just be herself, so I don’t think she’ll go full blown rebellion in her teens.

  8. Shannon says:

    I think she’s cool and I love the kids’ outfits, but I agree with above comments that dress is too matronly. I’m just a year younger than Jolie and I can’t imagine wearing that. It looks like something my grandmother would wear to church. But otherwise, she looks lovely.

  9. Barbcat says:

    She looks like Dolly Parton, giant boobs on a skinny Barbie doll body. I guess she was nostalgic for her Lara Croft fake boobs when she got her implants. They look too big for her frame.

  10. minx says:

    It’s not my taste but she does seem to love black and white.
    My complaint is the high crew necked dresses, like hers, that have been in style for too long now. Can’t we please get some v necks, u necks, anything more flattering?

  11. loislane says:

    God! I would wear the hell out of Zahara’s look. Cool, edgy, romantic. *Not even ashame despite my being in my thirties.

  12. Lindy says:

    I just can’t with this dress. It looks like she belongs in some kind of modesty cult where the women aren’t allowed to show any skin, or their ankles. I think that effect would be lessened if it were some bright jewel color, maybe? Something about the cream and the style of the dress just makes me think of freaky baptisms in the river.

  13. AVVSAJNC says:

    Regal isn’t a word I’d use for her. What a dull dress.

  14. Ebon says:

    The blanket looked better.

  15. MoopsMarie says:

    Poor Angie can’t win: if she’d shown any skin, people would be gasping at how skinny she looks, how knobby her knees are, etc. When she covers up her bones, people complain she looks dowdy.
    Angelina has an apple body shape: skinny arms and legs, flat butt, and any weight goes to the boobs and stomach. I think she controls the tendency toward thick-waisted-ness by staying very thin. But no matter what she does, she’ll be criticized. It’s a shame.

    • Lensblury says:

      Moopsmarie: <3
      Starting off-topic, but will get to the point: since the HW stories started coming in and #metoo gave so many people (including myself) a platform to finally tell their stories and be heard, I have been feeling so relieved and happy… after initially feeling like I could't take it anymore, of course – so many terrible stories, reliving my own memories and all that. But atm I feel like a burden has been lifted. I'm feeling very positive and smiling like I haven't smiled in 24 years, and I just think, hey, so what if someone chooses to wear a dress that's not sexy? I know it is the perfect time for gossip like that, and we all need it. I'm just thinking, though, that she, like any other woman, should be able to wear whatever she feels like at any time, and should be allowed to feel as free as possible, without being dragged by other women. I mean, she looks super happy! That's what counts for me right now. Maybe I can just relate to that smile 🙂
      P.s.: I usually drink very regularly, and quite a bit, but since I opened up and posted my #metoo story a week ago, I only had one sip of wine that was offered by a friend. I can't believe it. P.p.s.: I totally get it if this comment doesn't survive moderation!

  16. Freddy Spaghetti says:

    The dress needed some serious tailoring through the bust and the overall length. Then it would have fit and been perfect! I also wish she’d stop wearing nude pumps.

    She’s so beautiful. I wish she’d hire a stylist!

    The kids all look great.

  17. robyn says:

    All four look very poised and glamorous! Nice to see the children actually look genuinely comfortable with the cameras.

  18. Realitycheck says:

    She looks like she has lost all of her confidence, she seems very insecure. I also think that’s why she is covering up alot more.

  19. Sarah says:

    She doesn’t dress to please other people. If she likes it, that’s all that matters. We drone on about people should just be able to live their life, yet we judge people constantly to suit or own tastes & opinions. Why should she change everything about how she truly feels to entertain others on things she’s been vocal about on many occasions. She said she’s not that interested in fashion. She should just be herself & screw what others think. That’s what i’ve always loved & respected about her.

  20. Nancy says:

    I don’t think she was ever known to be a fashionista. A white ill-fitted dress and beige shoes, did she give up? Let go of the hem, OR bring it up to the shin. Poor Angie Jo. Shiloh looks like a mini Ellen, always in a suit, she even somewhat resembles her. She obviously loves to bring her children to evening events, which is nice, if not conventional all.the.time. Hopefully she will allow them to be kids at home watching their mom on tv, while she attends with her peers or even a date!!!

  21. Jenna says:

    She is a goddess, but her make up looks like crap. The last few months she’s been going heavy on dark vintage 70’s makeup that does her zero favours. Red lips and black eyeliner make her look sallow.

  22. notasugarhere says:

    Looking forward to this movie. It is from the same Luxembourg animation studio as the film Ernest & Celestine.

  23. lucy2 says:

    Is her makeup different or something? All of her features seem very prominent in these photos.
    I do like her hair darker though.
    The dress is pretty boring, as most things she wears are, but she just doesn’t seem into fashion.

    • Karen says:

      Her hair is far too dark on her pale complexion and she’s painfully thin. The dress is matronly. Her makeup is too harsh and her face looks very angular due to being so thin. I am concerned for her health. It is not menopause. It is not her surgeries-my friend has had the same 2 surgeries and looks very healthy. It is the stress of her life. The 6 kids. Her lack of freedom to come and go. She has to fix it. I was very sick 2 years ago and U have to make every effort to recover.

      • sage says:

        I don’t think it’s the kids and the other issues mentioned. I think she just doesn’t take care of her physical self. She has absolutely no muscle definition and what looks like very little body fat.

      • Lady D says:

        Not arguing with you Karen, but everybody recovers differently from surgery. It is rare to spring back, especially when the effects of anesthetic alone can last for six months or more. She might not have been healthy before the surgery either. I hope she’s okay.

    • Karen says:

      Sage that is what I meant. She needs to get physically strong. One I built myself back up I felt mentally stronger.

      If she did not have fillers in her face I can’t imagine how sickly she would look.

  24. Claudia Remm says:

    In the movie “By the sea” you can see her boobs naked and they don’t look to big, they look nicely proportioned to her body and one boob fitted in the right hand of Brad Pitt.

  25. Aerohead21 says:

    I find the dress itself to be MEH, but it’s a very appropriate Mom look. Also, I LURVE her makeup. I love that she’s not trying to literally paint her face. She’s using makeup as an accent to natural beauty.

  26. IsThisReal? says:

    I get the impression Angie doesn’t really care and wears what is comfortable. Perhaps these auditoriums are freezing cold.

    I LOVE the smiles on everyone’s face. It shows me those kids are loved and happy. Their joy looks real. Their mom obviously let’s them wear whatever they want. Yes!! Truly letting her children become themselves instead of molding them into the Version Angie wants. That is VERY hard to do and one of the most important roles of a parent. Let go of your children and let them shine. But be there enough for them to feel safe and loved.

  27. Artemis says:

    Saara Chaudry is the true fashionista. Her look is on friggin’ point. I want to see The Breadwinner for her now! I had to look up her IMDB and omg she’s so hard-working and skilled but still a baby. I have a feeling she will make big waves when she’s adult and I hope the industry doesn’t destroy her before it can happen. Whenever I see a beautiful young girl in that filthy industry, I cannot stop to think about what they possible already went through. I’m rooting for her.

    Zahara is killing it too. Of all the children, she is the most fashion forward and poised. Instead of becoming a model, I hope she becomes designer. I could see her designs being a mix of Western and Ethiopian influences purely basing it on Jolie’s values to keep her adopted children close to their original culture. Or the fact that she has so many influences from all the travels they do.

    Shiloh’s mannerism is Pitt all the way, he also does that forehead/face crunch thing, I can’t explain it well and can’t find the best pic of it
    https://i.pinimg.com/736x/9a/b1/eb/9ab1eb61e71c421d40c4a93d80c6ed47–vegan-beauty-oscars-red-carpets.jpg
    Knox is Jolie, including the 1 eyebrow raise. At this point it’s clear the JP children have an interesting mix of both parent’s look with the Voight genes being most dominant.

    Jolie and style… that face can only excuse so much. It’s mindboggling that people think Jolie’s doesn’t care. If she didn’t, why not borrow any old sackdress from Dior or any high fashion house? We know she can, designer will trip over themselves to show Jolie some dresses and it would take just as much time as putting a stylist on the job. But no, she employed Jen Rade for over a decade now and her style has evolved from this beauty
    http://jenniferrade.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/galleries/post-1634/thumbnails/c70-jolie-oceans1334.jpg
    To all the sackdresses since…I don’t know what year as it’s mostly been the same. Jolie used to add a pop of colour to a formfitting dress. She could turn up if she wanted to, now she rolls up in curtain drapes 99% of the time and we’re supposed to praise her for wanting comfortable clothes? Jolie never wore uncomfortable clothes in the first place! It’s a shame she’s paying Jen Rade good money to wear Versace curtains that belong in a retirement home. It was so amazing when she wore that pink gown in Cambodia, no stan should be applauding curtains if you love Jolie’s A-list glamour. Even during her tomboy bikerwear years,
    she turned up like this https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c9/cc/75/c9cc75b41d85d4d85f8f536889670128–angelina-jolie-dress-girl-interrupted.jpg
    Jolie has a sense of style despite not being a fashionista and she needs to bring it back.

  28. Dttimes2 says:

    All i have to say that i saw a picture of Amelia Earhart and i thought wow if Shiloh ever wants to be an actress she would be perfect for that role….

  29. sage says:

    Her style is not bad. I love her bag and sunglasses collection. So to me, she has some taste. It’s her clothes that do not look good on her because of her too skinny frame.

  30. khaveman says:

    Her bolt-ons are scary.

  31. Patty says:

    Her implants are awful. Awful.

  32. Leigh Reyes says:

    I do adore Jolie so much, but great style is definitely not one of her skills.

  33. Anare says:

    The dress is very regal but the bodice is a mess. It is ill fitting, too long waisted so bunching at the waist, and not cut for her larger breasts so it’s pulling above the breast. Ugh. She should never have chosen breasts that big. They throw off her symmetry. Shiloh looks like Jon Voight. Zahara is growing up to be a real beauty.

  34. Gina says:

    Boring

  35. Flipper says:

    She got thinner.

  36. truth hurts says:

    I think she is going for the motherly look now and times being a little sexier. Those bad ass sex kitten days are over she has 3 girls. I like the natural look on her face better not a fan of the berry lips all the times. She is still a goddess but she has been through a lot lately and I feel still is affecting her a bit. That shite storm the media put her through after she bounced Pitts drunk, dope smoking, selfish azz was plain unfair and ridiculous. But it’s not over just wait til he brings out the new chic. They will throw her in the fire comparing her to his new soul mate.
