Angelina Jolie surprised fans with a fresh and unexpected hairstyle at the AFI Fest, where she appeared to promote her upcoming film Maria, a biopic about opera legend Maria Callas.
Known for her signature polished blowouts and sleek updos, Jolie took a bold step away from her usual red carpet look. This time, she wore her hair in full, voluminous curls with a tousled, textured finish. The style featured a deep side part, with soft waves cascading over one shoulder. Her hair color subtly transitioned from a darker, ashy brunette at the roots to warm honey-blonde through the lengths, adding depth and dimension.
The look combined loose, fluffy waves with a few more defined ringlets, creating an effortless, lived-in feel. It appeared as if she lightly tousled her curls by hand before stepping out, giving off a relaxed and bohemian elegance.
While the hairstyle marked a notable change, Jolie’s makeup stayed true to her classic style. She wore defined lashes and a bold red lip, complementing her flowing satin slip dress and long duster coat. The soft curls added a beachy, modern edge to the otherwise formal outfit, creating a striking contrast.
In Maria, Jolie takes on the role of one of opera’s most iconic figures, and early buzz around the film already points toward potential awards recognition. With more red carpet appearances on the horizon, fans may get to see more adventurous beauty moments from the Oscar-winning actress—and hopefully, the return of these effortless curls.
