Angelina Jolie Fans Question 'Unflattering' New Magazine Photos: 'Not Her Best Angle'

Angelina Jolie fans have been marveling at her ageless beauty on the red carpet in recent weeks—but some say her most recent magazine cover does the actress a disservice.

The 49-year-old Maleficent star appears on the December 2024 cover of Vogue Mexico ahead of the upcoming release of her film Maria on Netflix, in which she plays legendary opera singer Maria Callas.

In the cover shot, photographed by Dan Martensen, Jolie wears a black Christian Dior dress and gazes down at the camera, her chin lifted.

While many fans on social media approved of the look, reactions from theFashionSpot's forum members were largely unfavorable.

"These look like outtakes. It takes skill to make Angelina Jolie look this bad," complained one person.

"Upon second look, that's quite an unflattering shot of Angelina Jolie. Not her best angle. Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott remain the best photographers to capture Angelina at her best. That being said, I like the colouring and the simplicity of it all..." wrote another commenter.

"She looks really sad....like she got the worst possible news just before she walked on set," somebody else shared.

Instagram users had a different take, however.

"Queen 🔥🔥🔥," wrote one fan.

"Wow! Queen 😍," agreed a second person.

"Timeless beauty ❤️❤️," gushed someone else.

"The most beautiful girl ❤️," declared a fourth commenter.

Maria opened in select theaters on Nov. 27, and hits Netflix on Dec. 11, 2024.
