Angelina Jolie Just Wore One of Fall’s Trendiest Hues at Venice 2024

Angelina Jolie put a bohemian spin on one of fall’s hottest hues — brown — at the 2024 Venice Film Festival on Thursday.

Ahead of the premiere of her new film, “Maria,” Jolie stepped out in a draped Saint Laurent dress featuring geometric stitching along the bodice. The actress kept her accessories minimal, adding on matching pumps, tortoiseshell Saint Laurent shades and a square-cut diamond ring.

Jolie wore her highlighted brunette tresses in a side part, while her makeup consisted of taupe eye shadow and a bare lip.

For the “Maria” photo call, Jolie changed into another Saint Laurent look: a black round-neck gown, which she adorned with a vintage Cartier Panthère brooch. Jolie also added on Wayfarer sunglasses.

In Pablo Larraín’s new biopic, Jolie portrays legendary soprano Maria Callas. Set in 1970s Paris, the film follows the final years of her life.

On Friday, WWD exclusively revealed Jolie as Tom Ford Beauty’s first celebrity spokesmodel.

In new campaign imagery, Jolie models the brand’s hero Runway Lip Color shade, Scarlet Rouge. “It’s a beautiful color and texture,” the actress said via email. “A good red lip needs little else. It’s worn with intention. That was part of the discussion.”

Brown hues are poised for popularity this autumn, with labels like Loewe, Saint Laurent and Miu Miu sending shades of sepia down the runway during their latest presentations. According to Pantone’s fall 2024 report pegged to New York Fashion Week, the Color Institute flagged Raw Umber and Buckthorn Brown as trending tints.

The Venice Film Festival, held annually in Italy, features new motion pictures from around the world. The 2024 jury is led by actress Isabelle Huppert, while this year’s festival includes high-profile premieres of Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” Pedro Almodovar’s “The Room Next Door” and Todd Phillips’ “Joker: Folie à Deux” among other films.
