Angelina Jolie went for a curly-haired diva look at the AFI Fest ‘Maria’ premiere

This diva!! Angelina Jolie stepped out on Saturday night at the AFI Fest premiere of Maria. Jolie heard all of you begging Nicole Kidman to bring back her curly hair and Jolie said “I’m going to hit ‘em up with some vintage Kidman.” The curly hair looks amazing on her – I have no idea if Angelina has naturally curly or wavy hair but I don’t think she does? Meaning, she had to put her curlers in or something. She looks younger with curly hair as well. And ever since she got that Tom Ford Beauty contract, she’s been wearing the f–k out of the red lipstick.

I don’t have much to say about Angelina’s fashion though. I mean… she’s not a fashionista, which is funny because she founded an atelier. She wore a beige silk dress which is too neutral, and she threw a sack-like shawled jacket over it. I get it – the look is all about her face, but I wish she was making different style choices for this promotional tour.

Netflix released the full-length trailer for Maria a few days ago, so I’m including it again below. I have such high hopes for this movie! I’m also including an interview Jolie did at AFI Fest.

    In the top pic, that one strand in the back that’s more long and frizzy than luxurious shiny wave? I have one of those in the exact same spot … it resists the glamour treatment … I get my hair all wavy beachy gorgeous, but if I catch myself from the side I’m like what is that? I know I styled it, why is it betraying me with it’s straggly frizz LOL

    She looks gorgeous, and her hair works with the satiny ease of the outfit. glad she’s having style fun with this movie.

      I too have a “you’re not the boss of me” lock at the back of my head that always looks like I just got up from a nap. AJ, just like us! 😂

  2. She is a goddess. This is evidence that you can pull off anything when you have that face.

  3. Kingston says:

    Love Angie!

  4. Roo says:

    I love it! She looks gorgeous and fresh and, as a straight hair person, I am so jealous of the luscious curls!

    • Jks says:

      Same. I wish I had hair like Emmy Rossum, Minny Driver, Andy McDowell, Neri Oxman or Gina Torres. All those glorious curls and volume! Gorgeous up-dos!

      I’d love to see Meghan wear curls at some point!

    • Mil says:

      Angie is a stunner, she just looks effortlessly cool, which is only possible when you have her face.

    • bananapanda says:

      It’s almost Julia Roberts in Mystic Pizza / Pretty Woman era

  5. Supersoft says:

    Is it just me or is her face somewhat different? She looks tired and pale also? Love the hair but the dress looks badly tailored and the colours don’t match.
    She had way better looks on the red carpet.

    • Jegede says:

      It’s the make up. The alabaster and red lip is very harsh on 90% of women.

      • Sunshile says:

        I totally agree about the make up. I dont know why she likes this super super pale foundation, depending on the lighting she looks white as a ghost. The issue isn’t even the hair colour. She needs a darker foundation period. It looks like she changed her make up artist this year because her make up used to be perfect

    • Jay says:

      I think it’s the pale beige dress/charcoal shawl that is washing her out. These are just the colours that she loves, but they don’t do her any favours. Picture her in the same dress in almost any other colour – an emerald green, teal, or deep periwinkle blue… even a smoky grey would work better, but she is very consistent.

      She is beautiful, though, and I like the red lip!

    • Jegede says:

      Oh yeah, her 2024 Tony awards red carpet was one of her the best ever looks!! Make up.😍

      This one….isaa no.🫥

    • GrnieWnie says:

      I actually just think she’s aging. You can see it around her eyes more. And I think as she ages, her face will continue to look more and more defined.

      I’ve never thought that Angie messed with her face. I think when you devote as much of your life to refugee causes as she has, you have a different perspective on what’s important. The way she dresses (usually all black, same style for decades at a time), the things she’s prioritized…none of that says to me that she’s caught up in the superficial.

  6. AJ says:

    She may be just plumping her cheeks a bit. She doesn’t need it, because she’s built like that naturally. Maybe just restoring her volume a bit. It’s noticeable in the video. Plus as we get older we’re just a little more sallow. Age!

  7. seraphina says:

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this look on her.

  8. Amy Bee says:

    She looks fabulous.

  9. Jegede says:

    I love the waves. What a change-up. and flattering to that face.

    But………..Why Oh Why from Venice, to NY, to here does Angie persist with this pale face and bright red lips combo??? It’s scarily unflattering. 😕

    And I’ll quote from somewhere else to say it’s giving a Jolie aesthetic very similar to latter day Micheal Jackson + present day Joan Collins teas.

    I’m equally baffled cause Jolie looked incredibly beautiful at this year’s Tony awards.
    The sun kissed, copper tones of her makeup; mixed with the Balayage hair colours as a combo was irresistible, alluring, while still classy.😽😽

    “Angie, contact whoever did your Tonys look and keep them on retainer for award season.”
    Please I beg ya.🙏🙏🙏🙏

    • Lady D says:

      That first picture of her, she is gorgeous.
      I love how the press release names her as Vivienne Jolie. She may not have to go to court for the official name change.

  10. Ale says:

    If possible, she keep becoming more beautiful and radiant.
    Her inner beauty shines through and make her almost an otherwordly creature.
    I used to not like her when she was younger but now i have only an immense admiration for her.

  11. Mrs. Smith says:

    Agreed on the fashion choice, but maybe she is mimicking the look on the movie poster? IDK, but she looks great and the curly hair is fun! I’m have straight hair and I look deranged if I try to mix it up with curls. I can’t pull it off!

  12. ML says:

    I like the curls on her.
    I don’t mind her style of clothing–this is clearly what she feels comfortable in, and it was probably made with love.
    I’m just not a fan of the colors on her. I think her lip color is slightly off, her hair color is too blond or the wrong blond, and the clothing, especially the dress, is leeching the life out of her.

  13. LOL says:

    Wow wow wow love love love Angelina Jolie’s virly hair first time in decades she’s done something different, love it, love the dress, make up everything. Is my jam

  14. Lauren says:

    I agree Kaiser, this curly curls make Angelina Jolie look younger. She’s having fun, I like the silk old Hollywood diva dress, I just love seeing her look healthier and happier, and long may Angelina Jolie continue to be happy in life . Will be supporting her movie Maria once it’s released.

  15. Miranda says:

    This is pretty much my hair if I just wash it and let it dry naturally. I’ve spent my whole life trying to tame it almost every morning, but she looks absolutely gorgeous! Now I’m tempted to just let it go for the day every once in a while. Is this something that only works for AJ and literally no other woman on earth? 😂😂

    • Jaded says:

      My hair too only it’s chin length. I spent decades doing everything from ironing my hair to sleeping on soup-can size rollers and then finally gave up. Embrace your curls girl!

  16. Kirsten says:

    I like the curls but she has to hire someone who will do color consultation work with her stylist — her current hair color and the palette for the clothes she picks are really washing her out.

    • Sunshile says:

      I think what is washing her out his her pale skin and the very very pale make up doesn’t help at all. They should go for a darker foundation.

  17. JD says:

    I saw this movie at the London film festival and it is AMAZING! Definitely try and watch it. I really hope she’ll Be at least nominated for a lm Oscar.
    Not the biggest fan of the hair or the colours she is wearing, I agree with one of the other commenters, she needs to wear something periwinkle or green, or a dark plum and then it would all pop!

  18. Lucky Charm says:

    I love the curly hair! I have straight hair and would give anything to have beautiful curls like this. As for the clothes, I wish she’d wear bright or bold color more often, but that’s just not her style comfort zone.

  19. Sunshile says:

    She’s a STUNNER. I love seeing her experimenting. I wish she would get over this super pale make up phase though. She looks gorgeous though

  20. Grant says:

    I do not like the outfit. It looks like she rolled out of bed and threw on a robe! I love the hair though, although I don’t think the blonde is doing her any favors.

  21. Aidee Kay says:

    I love this look, it’s sort of an update on Jean Harlow-era Hollywood starlet glam but also looks cool, relaxed, chill, underdone (but combined with the strong lip and highly intentional curls, it’s exactly the right amount of “done”). All that said, I long for her to hire a stylist who will put her in bold colors. She would look radiant in soooooooo many colors but she likes soooooooo few.

  22. Aidee Kay says:

    Just watched the THR interview with Jolie and oh my gosh she is such a wonderful, thoughtful, intelligent, empathetic person. She’s so beautiful that sometimes I half-forget that I could listen to her talk about anything all day. She really has lovely turns-of-phrase and cool perspectives on everything she does, thinks, experiences, learns. Hope she writes a memoir and does an audiobook one day.

  23. elizabeth says:

    I’m pretty sure the look is from Atelier Jolie, and she’s imitating the lookbook’s styling. She did the big curly disco hair for promotional pictures for the campaign.

  24. GiveMePizza says:

    Love this hair! It’s giving fun 1980s vibes (but minus the goofy 80s bangs!)

  25. Lydmila says:

    J’adore ses cheveux comme ça !

  26. CSTX says:

    Love the look, certainly more of the glamorous old Hollywood look. Just wished she’d ditch the Crayola lipstick for something a little more subdued. Otherwise this new look really works.

  27. Wls198 says:

    I love the hair very much. Maybe it’s just me but the back does its own thing, I think it’s a track. Love the red lipstick. I think she is a tad too thin. My dad use to say as we age we need a little meat on the bones, so you have something to fall back on.
