Angelina Jolie truly embodied her role in Maleficent, and her style during the film’s promotional tour reflected that dark, enchanting energy.
Angelina Jolie Embraces Dark Elegance for ‘Maleficent’ Promo Tour
Known for her typically classic and understated fashion sense, Angelina surprised fans at the Maleficent photo call at the Corinthia Hotel in London.

She wore a striking Atelier Versace dress featuring a bird-inspired print that echoed the film’s moody forest aesthetic.
She paired it with standout Christian Louboutin wedges adorned with sculpted, blood-red spike heels. The bold ensemble marked a dramatic departure from her usual style—and we absolutely loved it.

Custom Christian Louboutin Wedges Add a Sinister Twist
Angelina’s Christian Louboutin wedges were custom-made exclusively for her Maleficent promotions, adding a dramatic, storybook twist to her look.
The sculpted spike heels featured blood-like drips—a bold, literal nod to when Sleeping Beauty pricks her finger on a spinning wheel. It’s a dark and daring interpretation of the classic fairy tale, but Angelina pulled it off effortlessly, blending high fashion with character-driven symbolism.

The 16-year-old actress also went all-white, choosing a two-piece ensemble that included a sleeveless crop top and a matching trumpet ruffle skirt by Ellery.

A Gothic Touch: Jolie’s All-Black Paris Ensemble
Angie wore the black version of these wedges to the ‘Maleficent’ photo call in Paris. Those didn’t have bloody heels, but it would’ve been great if they did because it would’ve been a cool gothic touch to Angie’s all-black Ralph Lauren bustier and pants ensemble.

Wickedly Glamorous in Gucci at Maleficent Reception
Angie’s commitment to being Maleficent while promoting the movie is so absolute that even her red carpet looks are bewitching.
We think she was still in character in this Gucci beaded gown she wore to a private reception for Maleficent last Thursday. With deep draping and sinister-looking points at the ends of the sleeves, Angie was the Queen of All Evil at her most glam.

Elle Fanning Looks Like a Dream in Georges Hobeika Couture
And as the princess to the witch, Elle Fanning played her part as Sleeping Beauty on the red carpet.
Elle was enchanting in a Georges Hobeika couture strapless gown with a youthful pocketed design. Flowers in her hair and long, flowing ribbons down her back completely swept us away into the film’s fairy tale fantasy.
