Angelina Jolie, 49, Catches Attention in Embroidered Gown at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival

The Hollywood star wowed in a shimmering embroidered gown. However, while fans praised her red carpet style, some reactions were mixed — especially about her look and hair.

Angelina Jolie made a stunning appearance at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival on May 16, 2025, as she graced the red carpet outside the Palais des Festivals for the premiere of “Eddington.”

The 49-year-old actress drew attention in a strapless, floor-length gown embroidered with a textured, shimmering pattern that caught the camera flashes from every angle.

Jolie, known for her timeless fashion choices, posed confidently in front of a crowd of photographers, her long, blonde locks flowing over her shoulders. The intricate detailing and full skirt of her gown gave her a regal presence on the red carpet.

Online, fans had plenty to say about her latest red carpet moment. One admirer called her the “BEST DRESSED THERE,” while another noted, “She put on some ounces and it looks good on her…” A third fan praised her consistency, writing, “She it is always dressed with Target 🎯 [sic].”

However, not all reactions were glowing. One netizen quipped, “I thought it was bubble wrap for a sec 😂,” poking fun at the gown’s unique texture. Another offered a more mixed review, commenting in part, “I’m not liking her puffy cheeks, hope it’s due to natural ageing🙄… and she looks better with dark hair. Still love her tho.”
