Angelina Jolie shines at Venice Film Festival despite near run‑in with Brad Pitt

The second day of the Venice Film Festival was marked by screening a new film starring Angelina Jolie. During the evening premiere, the actress showcased another stunning ensemble. She nearly encountered her ex-husband during the occasion.

Angelina Jolie is triumphantly returning to the world of cinema after three years. The Hollywood superstar portrayed the legendary opera singer Maria Callas in the biopic directed by Pablo Larraín, the creator of "Spencer," which tells the story of Princess Diana. The actress is promoting her latest production at the world's oldest film festival.

The mother of six has a schedule packed with events and interviews for the eagerly awaited premiere. Just before noon, she posed for Italian photojournalists, surprising with an elegant outfit and refreshed blonde look. Despite her tight schedule, she found a moment to walk with a mysterious stranger.

The 49-year-old focused on her professional duties for a moment, but it was a close call as she almost encountered her ex-husband backstage. The Venice Film Festival organisers made every effort to ensure that the premieres of productions starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took place on different dates.

The grand premiere of "Wolfs," featuring the 60-year-old actor, is scheduled for Sunday, 1 September. At that time, Angelina Jolie will already be in the United States as part of the further promotion of the film dedicated to Maria Callas. Therefore, there is no chance for their paths to cross again.

Meanwhile, the American found herself at the centre of paparazzi attention, attending the evening screening in a long, strapless beige dress adorned with a fur stole by Tamara Ralph. The dress featured drapery along the body and a pleated bottom. Her spectacular presentation on the red carpet was emphasised by her loose blonde hair and the bold colour of her Tom Ford lipstick, which she endorses.

How do you rate her outfit?
