Celebrity Style Deconstructed – Angelina Jolie

Humanitarian, actress, supermom. These are just some of the words that have been used to describe Angelina Jolie. Director can now be added to that list, as Ms. Jolie’s debut, “In the Land of Blood and Honey” was released earlier this year. No matter what hat she is wearing though, you can be sure it will be one that is tres chic. Angelina has amazing taste not just in men (hello, Brad!) but in clothes, as well. She often opts for neutrals rarely wearing prints, and her style is refined, elegant and classic, evoking Parisienne chic even when she’s walking through the streets of New York with one (or two or five) of her children by her side.

Angelina Jolie Style Deconstructed

Neutrals – Perhaps it’s because of her breathtaking beauty that Angelina sticks to a mostly neutral color palette. She consistently wears blacks and creams with a little gray or brown thrown in for good measure. Wearing neutrals is a great way to show off other attributes like your hair, eyes or your smile. In Angie’s case, we guess that’d be all of the above!

Trench coat – A classic trench is the perfect piece for any busy woman’s lifestyle; it is the perfect blend of form and function. With a family of six, a post at the United Nations, and a steady career in Hollywood means Ms. Jolie is practically always on the go, so it makes sense that she would integrate such a chic piece into her wardrobe.

Long Sleeve Dresses – This is one of our favorite looks of Angie’s. The long sleeve dress is an elegant alternative to the oft worn strapless dress and Angie proves that just because her gown may have wrist grazing sleeves, that doesn’t mean you can’t still be one helluva knockout.

Tangerine – We all know how intelligent Angelina Jolie is, but this particular style choice has us wondering if she might be a bit clairvoyant as well. Angie is an early adopter of one the hottest hues for the spring/summer season: tangerine. Taking a break from her neutral choices, Angie looks divine in this deeply saturated color. It suits her dark hair, light eyes and creamy skin beautifully.

Aviators – Nothing if not consistent, Angie’s favorite sunnies are the classic aviator style. She has been seen wearing them so often, they have come to be part of her signature look. If you were one half of the most photographed couple in the world, we suspect you’d never leave home without them either!

Angelina Jolie is a timeless beauty and her style echoes that. Her style is so minimal, that we often get the feeling that she wants her work (i.e. her advocacy for refugees, mothering her motley crew of adorable kids, directing films that tell stories that need to be told) to speak for itself, letting her wardrobe be just a subtle complement to all that she has accomplished. And she couldn’t do it in a more elegant way.

Absolutely love the maxi dresses she wears. They've just got that elegance about them and reek of the "sexy and I know it" attitude that Angelina has about her.
