Angelina Jolie was as elegant as ever at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.

Jolie, 49, stepped out in a classy gown while attending a photocall for her upcoming movie, Maria, on Wednesday, August 28. Her Saint Laurent gown featured a scoop neck, a sleeveless design, a fitted skirt and a plunging back. While posing on the red carpet, Jolie turned around, showing off her back tattoos, which include a number of Buddhist mantras that translate to, “May your enemies run far away from you. If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always.”

Jolie accessorized with black sunglasses and jewelry from Cartier, including a dainty cheetah and stone pin.

For glam, the actress donned a full beat including filled-in eyebrows, soft eyeshadow on her eyelids that smoked out into a subtle wing, long lashes and glossy lips. Her blonde hair was parted to the side and styled in a classy blowout.
