Angelina Jolie Goes Full Glam in Draped Gown for “Maria” Red Carpet Premiere at Venice Film Festival

Jolie plays opera singer Maria Callas in the new movie

Angelina Jolie never misses.

The actress, 49, hit the red carpet at the 2024 Venice Film Festival for the Aug. 29 premiere of her newest film Maria, where she stars as the title character. In the biopic, she plays opera singer Maria Callas.

Jolie wore a custom strapless beige Tamara Ralph gown with a fur stole covering the sleeves (which added a touch of wintery glamour), romantic drapery down the silhouette and a pleated skirt hem.

Her blonde hair was styled in an effortless side-part look while her glam was equally simplistic — save for the bold red lip that matched her nails and overall elevated the monochromatic earth-tone ensemble.

Jolie touched down in Venice on Aug. 27. She was seen waving as she arrived, wearing a khaki-colored belted trench coat over navy bottoms, dark sunglasses and black boots, with her hair down in a straight style over her shoulders.

She continued her rounds on Aug. 29, making appearances on the grounds in a black dress with a low back revealing her tattoos and a flowy brown chiffon dress that made her look like the goddess of Venice.

Directed by Pablo Larraín, Maria is part of the in-competition lineup at Venice. The film also stars Kodi Smit-McPhee, Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher and Haluk Bilginer.

In 2022, ahead of filming, Jolie said of taking on the role: "I take very seriously the responsibility to Maria's life and legacy. I will give all I can to meet the challenge. Pablo Larraín is a director I have long admired. To be allowed the chance to tell more of Maria's story with him, and with a script by Steven Knight, is a dream."

Larraín added, "Having the chance to combine my two most deep and personal passions, cinema and opera, has been a long-awaited dream. To do this with Angelina, a supremely brave and curious artist, is a fascinating opportunity. A true gift."

The movie tells the "tumultuous, beautiful and tragic story of the life of the world's greatest opera singer, relived and reimagined during her final days in 1970s Paris," according to a press release.
