Angelina Jolie was the epitome of style and sophistication as she graced the stage at the Writers Guild Theater during a special screening of her new movie 'Maria' on Monday night.
The actress, 49, who plays opera singer Maria Callas in the moving biopic, looked divine in a fitted black coat layered over a silk mocha-hued gown. Her dress featured a romantic pleated neckline and fluid ankle-length skirt, revealing her towering nude heels.
Elevating her look, the mother-of-six highlighted her siren-like eyes with a feline winged eyeliner and accessorized with a pair of glittering diamond hoop earrings.

As Angelina left the building, she was swarmed by fans and paparazzi, graciously signing autographs before slipping into a private black car.

Speaking candidly with People magazine, the actress admitted she shares a "certain loneliness" with the late opera singer, something she attributes to her dedicated work ethic.
"I don’t know if either of us would view ourselves as anything but a performer and a worker who has a job to do,” she confessed, adding that they are "probably very hard on ourselves."

The film’s debut at Venice was also an opportunity for Angelina to speak about the meticulous preparation that went into embodying the legendary singer.
