From glamorous gowns and blood-vial necklaces to Atelier Jolie capes and quiet luxury tailoring, Angelina Jolie’s style has always had bite. Call Donatella—this isn’t your average celebrity wardrobe story. Jolie hasn’t just walked red carpets; she’s owned them, turning every appearance into a statement piece, every silhouette into a signature. Sure, she has an Oscar. But she also has that Versace moment, a Cannes red carpet reign, and the rare ability to make both leather pants and a silk kaftan feel like armor. 

As the icon enters a new decade, we break down her most unforgettable red carpet moments, each marking a chapter in her journey and proving that her fashion choices speak volumes beyond the surface.
