Angelina Jolie’s Understated Elegance: Cutouts and Couture at Rome Film Festival
Rome, Italy – Angelina Jolie turned heads at the Rome Film Festival premiere of “Couture” on Saturday, opting for understated elegance in a backless Alberta Ferretti cape dress and pointed black patent ankle boots. The actress and activist’s ensemble showcased subtle cutouts, mirroring the dress’s open back with a V-cut vamp on her sleek stiletto booties.
The custom-designed Alberta Ferretti gown by Lorenzo Serafini featured a draped cape, soft cocoon skirt, and discreet pockets. Jolie’s footwear choice, a classic pointed-toe ankle boot with a slim heel, continues a trend seen on recent red carpets, with stars like FKA Twigs and Solange Knowles sporting similar styles this month. Jolie’s appearance elevates the silhouette beyond streetwear, proving its versatility for formal occasions.
The premiere spotlighted “Couture,” directed by Alice Winocour and backed by Chanel. The film, a first of it’s kind to have Chanel giving full access to its couture salons and workshops, follows women working behind the scenes of Paris Fashion Week, with Jolie starring as Maxine Walker, a filmmaker who learns she has breast cancer during the trip. Winocour stated that she wanted to give voice to women who have no voice. Costume designer Pascaline Chavanne added that every clothing piece we picked carries meaning.
