Angelina Jolie turned heads at the red carpet premiere of her new movie Couture in Rome, Italy, where she showed off her striking back tattoos in a daring, backless hooded dress.
The 50-year-old actress’ outfit, part of Alberta Ferretti’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection, consisted of a midnight-colored midi dress with sheer black stockings and matching stiletto ankle boots.
Jolie’s role in it Couture resonates deeply with her personal experiences. She plays Maxine, a filmmaker and mother struggling with a breast cancer diagnosis, divorce and Paris Fashion Week.
The film’s themes reflect Jolie’s own journey after undergoing a preventive double mastectomy in 2013 due to the BRCA1 gene, which significantly increased her risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
“I’ve always noticed that the heaviest films often have the most loving sets,” Jolie shared with Variety at the Toronto International Film Festival.
“There’s something very comforting about having real conversations and having real feelings with a shared community. It was quite healing in many ways.”
Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, passed away in 2007 after a battle with ovarian and breast cancer, a loss that had a profound impact on Jolie’s life and shaped her decision to undergo preventive surgery.
