Angelina Jolie Debuts Beachy Curls in Satin Column Dress at ‘Maria’ AFI Fest 2024 Premiere
Angelina Jolie broke out beachy curls for the premiere of her latest film “Maria” during the 2024 AFI Fest in Los Angeles on Saturday. The actress portrays legendary opera singer Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín’s latest directorial feat.
Jolie selected a sleeveless champagne satin dress, pairing it with a black cape, jeweled dangle earrings and metallic pumps. A bold red lip topped off her glamorous look.

“Maria” had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in August. Set in 1970s Paris, the biopic follows the final years of Callas’ life. On the red carpet in Venice, Jolie made an elegant entrance in a custom Tamara Ralph ensemble consisting of an asymmetrical draped chiffon gown and a faux fur stole.
Callas’ life story is something out of the dramas she starred in. Much of her childhood was spent training, leading to a strained — and later, nonexistent — relationship with her mother. In love, Callas was also unlucky: her husband, Giovanni Battista Meneghini, stole her fortune in their divorce, while her lover of nine years, business magnate Aristotle Onassis, left her for Jackie Kennedy.
While she found great success in her career, Callas retired in 1965 as her vocal abilities declined. It’s been said that she died of a broken heart.
Earlier this year, 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.”
