In this series of interviews exploring what makes women shine, Angelina Jolie appears in the first installment. In the second installment, fashion journalist Rie Miyata unravels her fashion philosophy.
Angelina Jolie effortlessly rocks everything from the most gorgeous long dresses on the red carpet to the dignified and noble pantsuits she wears for humanitarian work. As an actress, director, producer, mother of six, and special envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), she skillfully adapts her outfits to suit the occasion and situation.
At the world premiere of the film "Maleficent," she appeared in a seductive, draped dress, exuding a mysterious aura befitting her role as an evil fairy. She also added a touch of punkish spice with gold bracelets with long spikes on both arms. At a fan event in Japan, she wore a slim-fitting black velvet dress by Atelier Versace. The overall silhouette was slender, yet the skin was beautifully exposed, and the fitted cut accentuated the graceful curves of her glamorous figure. On the other hand, she also excels in pants. She skillfully styled Saint Laurent's modern smoking jacket, which reinterpreted the "smoking" as a unisex item, creating a sophisticated, casual look. She deliberately left her tie undone to expose her décolleté and rolled up her sleeves to reveal her wrists. The balance of the exposed skin and the masculine attire was exquisite. Her Michael Kors look, featuring a bowtie blouse and wide-leg pants, was a typical choice. It struck a perfect balance of elegance and dignity, befitting the serious theme of eliminating sexual violence in conflict. Even in an all-white outfit, she layers a white jacket and a knee-length flared skirt, achieving both sincerity and grace. A common thread is the sharpness of her pointed-toe shoes. She also pairs her mannish outfit with Jimmy Choo stiletto heels, exuding a dignified beauty. Angie's style embodies both the inner strength of an independent woman and the flamboyant elegance of a woman. Sticking to her own unique fashion philosophy, she injects just the right amount of sexiness into masculine clothing and conservative looks, never forgetting her femininity. Her style blends high-society elegance with a relaxed elegance. Avoiding loud colors and patterns, her playful minimalist style is a model worth emulating for many grown-up women.
