For a long time, Angelina Jolie’s wardrobe staples have consisted of simple dresses and classic black or white pumps. Her predictable style choices had us wondering if we’d ever see her in something truly exciting again.

Luckily, she recently gave us a glimmer of hope. Although the actress stayed true to her monochromatic palette, she added a fresh twist that got us talking: feathers. Angelina stepped out in this daringly elegant look at the 2018 Critics’ Choice Awards at Barker Hangar in Los Angeles.

Angelina stepped out in one of her more experimental looks in a while: a feathered Ralph & Russo dressAngelina stepped out in one of her more experimental looks in a while: a feathered Ralph & Russo dress.

Angelina made a bold statement in a custom-made feathered dress by Ralph & Russo, inspired by 1920s glamour. With its couture craftsmanship, the dress hints that Angelina may have influenced its design.

She completed her Gatsby-inspired look with striking red lips and dramatic eyelashes while keeping her jewelry minimal—opting for just silver earrings and a ring. A pair of velvet Stuart Weitzman “Candy” pumps finished her look.

Her elegant look complemented the significance of the evening, as the film she wrote, directed, and produced was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film. However, the award went to “In the Fade.”
