Angelina Jolie’s grand return to the Cannes Film Festival was nothing short of cinematic poetry. After a 14-year hiatus, Hollywood’s undisputed queen of effortless glamour graced the red carpet once more, proving that time only refines her mystique. Draped in a strapless champagne-hued ballgown from Brunello Cucinelli’s Fall 2025 collection, Jolie embodied the kind of elegance that whispers rather than shouts – an understated opulence that only she can command.
The occasion? The premiere of Ari Aster’s fever-dream Western, Eddington, a film dissecting America’s descent into conspiracy-fueled chaos, TikTok delirium, and political extremism. But let’s be honest – while the film may have been the talk of the festival, it was Jolie who stole the show. With her signature grace, she floated down the Croisette, her presence a masterclass in quiet luxury.
And, of course, our very own visual maestro, Patrick Hagot, was on hand to immortalise every breathtaking moment. Because when Angelina Jolie steps onto the world’s most glamorous stage, it’s not just an appearance – it’s an event.
