Angelina Jolie's stroll through the Big Apple with her teenage daughter has set social media on fire, with one netizen comparing Angelina's elegant dress to a "bedsheet."
Angelina Jolie sparked a social media frenzy with her choice of attire during a recent shopping trip in New York City with her 15-year-old daughter, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. The acclaimed actress's outfit quickly drew sharp criticism online.
One observer harshly noted, "Looks like an old sheet that needs ironing no thanks [sic]," but a supportive fan simply stated, "Nice dress π." Angelina wore a flowy white dress, oversized black shades, a brown leather purse, and heeled black boots.
The 49-year-old actress's choice of attire sparked more humorous yet critical comments that likened her outfit to various household items. One critic didn't hold back, stating, "You must be kidding looks like a sheet off her bed [sic]."
Another echoed this sentiment, remarking, "Looks like she's wearing her bed sheet," while one simply noted, "Looks like a bed sheet."
Some disappointed netizens took their critiques to the garden, with one noting, "Well it is just like a garden dress and not flattering at all. Than there is the boots. Yikes [sic]."
Others took their imaginations to the bathroom. One quipped, "Looks wrapped in a bath towel around her body Lols ππ [sic]," and another agreed, "Looks like she wrapped a bath towel around herself."
Amidst the sea of disapproval, one fan admired Angelina's relaxed ensemble, stating, "So nice!" and ending with heart emojis. The netizens' debate over Angelina's "bedsheet" look follows her Vogue interview in September 2023, where she discussed the connection between fashion and self-expression.
"Sometimes the way you dress says, 'Don't mess with meβI've got my armor on,'" Angelina remarked during the interview at age 48.
She expressed the desire for women to feel safe enough to embrace softness. Angelina shared a personal experience where a therapist suggested she wear flowing garments after a difficult time, challenging her belief that pants and boots made her appear tougher.
She shared, "Sounds silly, but I assumed that pants and boots projected a 'tougher' look, a stronger me. But was I strong enough to be soft? At the time, no. I felt vulnerable." Despite feeling vulnerable, Angelina continues to explore her personal style and identity, recognizing that she is in a transitional phase of self-discovery.
As she continues to explore and redefine her fashion, Angelina remains a prominent figure in the public eye, inspiring both critique and admiration. This was evident when she attended the recent Tony Awards in style, reported on June 17.
Angelina bagged her first Tony Award at the event, accompanied by Vivienne. Both rocked green outfits, making a fashionable statement together.
Vivienne wore a charming teal tuxedo suit that consisted of tailored pants and a matching vest over a crisp white dress shirt. She complimented the look with a matching bow tie and added a casual touch to her look with white sneakers. Her light brown hair was parted in the middle and left down, framing her face in a simple, natural style.
Jolie, on the other hand, wore a stunning, floor-length, seafoam-green gown. The dress featured a draped, off-the-shoulder neckline and intricate ruching across the bodice, which highlighted her slim figure.
The velvet gown, a creation of Atelier Versace, flowed into a graceful train, adding a sense of grandeur to her look. She kept her accessories minimal, allowing her natural elegance to shine. Her new bird tattoo subtly peeked through, adding a personal touch to the ensemble without overpowering the dress.
Her long, light brown hair was styled in soft waves, parted in the middle, and flowing over her shoulders. Her makeup was elegant and understated, featuring neutral tones that enhanced her natural beauty. She completed the look with simple yet elegant gold hoop earrings.
The duo's striking appearance didn't go unnoticed. Vogue Magazine posted the images and videos of Jolie and Vivienne on Instagram, referring to their red carpet presence as "a united mother-daughter fashion moment that completely stole the show."
Adding to the admiration, Donatella Versace also posted images of the pair from the event. She praised the actress for wearing the piece and even gave a little history of the dress.
"You look so beautiful. I love that you celebrate Atelier Versace craftsmanship. This dress was created in 2013 and I remember you had huge creative input in the design⦠Artists supporting artists is so important!" she wrote.
Readers also took to various social media platforms to show their enthusiasm about the actress and her daughter's looks. One praised Jolie, "That is one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen," while another seconded the sentiments, writing, "Angie is the most beautiful woman alive."
While Angeline's gown ensemble earned praise online, some critics took note of Vivienne Jolie-Pitt's unfeminine outfit. One AmoMama reader sharply criticized, "Certainly not feminine!!" This critique set a critical tone, prompting others to join in, questioning the appropriateness of Vivienne's unconventional style.
Another voiced concern about why Angelina would dress her children in male clothing, stating, "She's a girl dress her like one, all your girl you put boys clothes on them and the one young lady always had beautiful outfit on, WHY [sic]."
However, not all comments were negative. One defender stood up for Vivienne's right to self-expression, stating, "She wears what she feels comfortable in. Leave her alone."
Angelina and her daughter continue to make bold fashion statements, both on the red carpet and in their daily lives. Whether praised or criticized, their style shows their unique personalities and keeps them in the public eye.
