Angelina Jolie Puts Textural Spin on Suiting in Black Velvet Co-ords for ‘Maria’ London Screening

Angelina Jolie made the case for winter-friendly suiting on Saturday in London. The actress attended a screening of her new film “Maria,” in which she portrays legendary opera singer Maria Callas.

Jolie’s full velvet ensemble consisted of a jacket, scoop-neck top and trousers, which she accessorized with round-toe leather boots. The Oscar winner wore her dirty blond tresses straightened, keeping her makeup relatively minimal.

Jolie plays the titular soprano in “Maria,” which had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in August. Set in 1970s Paris, the biopic follows the final years of Callas’ life, including her relationship with Greek business magnate Aristotle Onassis.

Callas’ life story is something out of the dramas she starred in. Much of her childhood was spent training, leading to a strained — and later, nonexistent — relationship with her mother. In love, Callas was also unlucky: her husband, Giovanni Battista Meneghini, stole her fortune in their divorce, while her lover of nine years, Onassis, left her for Jackie Kennedy.

Earlier this year, WWD exclusively revealed Jolie as Tom Ford Beauty’s first celebrity spokesmodel. On Tuesday, the brand debuted its latest campaign starring Jolie, where she models the shade 16 Scarlet Rouge from Tom Ford Beauty’s Runway Lip Color collection.

“What I look for most in a beauty product is quality. I personally wear Scarlet Rouge by Tom Ford because of its rich color and texture. A perfect red lip needs little else,” Jolie told WWD via email.

On Monday, Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut revealed the nominees for the 2025 Golden Globes. Jolie picked up one nomination for “Maria:” Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama.
