“Sad...” Angelina Jolie’s Cannes Look Steals the Show, but One Thing Sparks Controversy

Angelina Jolie made a stunning entrance at the Cannes 2025 festival, captivating everyone with her signature elegance. Known for her timeless beauty and poise, the Hollywood icon never fails to impress. But this year, it was one unexpected detail in her look that truly set social media buzzing.

Making a striking entrance, Angelina Jolie attended the premiere of Eddington at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday. The 49-year-old actress wore a stunning Brunello Cucinelli dress, featuring a cinched waist that accentuated her silhouette.

She completed the look with high heels to elevate her presence, while her blonde hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders. Accessorizing with a simple gold necklace, the Oscar winner added a touch of elegance with a pair of classic drop earrings.

Fans online were dazzled by her look and showered the actress with sweet words such as “stunning,” “classy” and “elegant.”

However, one detail caught people’s eyes, as many believed that the star, who is mostly famous for her iconic brunette hair, looks “washed out” with her recent blond look. One observer wrote, “She needs to go brunette again and get some color in her cheeks,” and another added, “She is beautiful, but that hair color washes her out.”

A third chimed in, “A new hair stylist would elevate things, since she was always at her best as a brunette.”

But there were also those who said that Jolie looks great with blonde hair, “I’m really saddened. I’ve seen three posts in three subs and they all have the same top comment slagging her hair. She’s 49. Going dark again would actually age her more. She is clearly leaning into her grey hair, you can see it starting to streak through all of the blonde. It looks like she is trying to accept that she is aging and that the brunette was not going stick around forever.”

Yet another expressed admiration for Jolie’s beauty, “I saw her with my eyes, she is more more more beautiful in reality. You can’t imagine this.”

Kristen Stewart made her first appearance at the festival since her wedding, accompanied by her newlywed wife.
