Angelina Jolie shines at Film Festival despite Oscar snub
Although Angelina Jolie did not receive an Oscar nomination for her titular role in Maria Callas, she was honoured with an award at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. The actress dazzled on the red carpet, posing for photographers in a slip-style dress with an open back. Once again, she showed her class.
According to some critics, Angelina Jolie reached the peak of her acting abilities when she portrayed the famous opera singer in the film Maria Callas. After its screening at the Venice Film Festival, she received an eight-minute standing ovation. However, the Academy representatives did not seem to share this enthusiasm, so the actress did not receive an Oscar nomination.
However, recently, she appeared at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, where she accepted the Maltin Modern Master Award, the most prestigious award at the festival. This award is given to individuals who enrich the film industry in a unique way. Jolie appeared on the red carpet and once again proved that she is a minimalist who makes an impression.
Angelina Jolie dazzled in a satin creation
Angelina Jolie exudes modesty. Her outfits are devoid of extravagance. The star opts for simplicity with an element of surprise. At the Santa Barbara Film Festival, she wore a full-length, satin slip-like creation in an off-white shade. The dress was characterized by a maximally simple form, a high neckline, and thin straps.
An open-back creation, a way to make an impression
However, the exposed back, topped with a perfectly draping excess of fabric, caused a sensation. The only downside to this look was the black slingback pumps, which seemed too heavy compared to Jolie's delicacy.
