“Anything For Attention,” Angelina Jolie’s Unusual Look Sparks Confusion

In recent months, Angelina Jolie has been everywhere — gracing red carpets and appearing on talk shows almost weekly. As always, her looks are closely scrutinized by fans. Her last two appearances, in particular, sparked a wave of reactions due to her choice of footwear.

Angelina Jolie brought effortless style to the 2024 Torino Film Festival, stepping onto the red carpet in Turin, Italy to premiere her latest directorial project, Without Blood. Skipping her usual heels, she rocked a pair of black flats, proving you don’t need sky-high stilettos to steal the show.

Jolie has been turning heads with promoting her films. Without Blood, her fifth time in the director’s chair, stars Salma Hayek Pinault and Demián Bichir in a powerful story about revenge, memory, and healing. Based on Alessandro Baricco’s novel, the film had its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and is now making waves in Italy.

The night got even more special when Jolie was awarded the Stella della Mole, a well-deserved nod to her incredible career as a filmmaker and actress.

Angelina rocked a black pencil skirt with side slits, a loose V-neck sweater tucked in just enough for a relaxed yet polished vibe, and a chic camel trench coat from Brunello Cucinelli draped over her shoulders. Jolie kept things simple but striking, pairing the look with black ballet flats, minimal jewelry, and her long blonde hair styled sleek. Her glowing, natural makeup with soft pink lips added the perfect finishing touch.

But it was her choice of flats that got everyone talking. While ballet flats have been a major trend this year, not everyone embraced them. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, as some loved the practical elegance, while others critiqued her departure from the typical towering heels, with one user joking, “Flats? Really, girl?😂” and another exclaiming, “Mother had on no heels?? I’m shook.”

Despite some playful jabs, the response was largely positive. Fans praised her effortless beauty, with one saying, “Angie started looking better here in the latest photos somehow,” while another gushed, “She’s aging beautifully.” Of course, there were plenty of adoring remarks like, “She’s always so flawless😍😍,” proving that Jolie can rock any look and still leave everyone mesmerized.

However, just a few days later, Angelina caused an even bigger stir by appearing barefoot on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. It seems this was a surprise even for the host himself, as he asked, “I noticed you’re barefoot. Did you forget your shoes?”

To which Jolie replied, “I broke my toe yesterday and tried to find comfortable shoes, but then I changed my mind.” “You don’t have to wear shoes at all!” Jimmy exclaimed. “Just feel comfortable. We’re just happy you’re here.”

As always, this sparked mixed reactions from the public. One wrote, “Bare feet look better than high heels. Follow the trend ladies.” Another one confirmed, “Her feet are lovely.”

But some had doubts, “She couldn’t find a pair of sandals or flip.flops?” Another wrote, “Angelina will do anything for attention, she loves the cameras on her.” One commenter added, “LOOKS AS THOUGH JOLIE IS SCRAMBLING TO PUT HERSELF BACK OUT IN THE PUBLIC EYE”

Not long ago, the actress appeared on the red carpet with an uncharacteristic hairstyle. Her voluminous locks did not sit well with fans.
