Angelina Jolie revives iconic Oscars leg pose at TIFF 2025

Angelina Jolie’s leg is back for an encore.

The Oscar winner, 50, turned heads at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday night, stepping onto the carpet in a chocolate-brown silk trench coat from Gabriela Hearst.

The double-breasted design, styled as a dress, opened into a thigh-high slit that immediately recalled her unforgettable 2012 Academy Awards look — when a black Versace gown and a single pose turned her right leg into a cultural phenomenon.

This time, the silhouette was sleeker and more restrained, featuring menswear-inspired details like shoulder epaulettes and belted sleeve cuffs.

Jolie paired the Houstt coat ($5,730) with sheer nylons and pointed black Christian Louboutin stiletto pumps, finishing the look with minimal jewelry and a glossy, highlighted blowout.

The result: polished, understated glamour — with just enough leg to make it feel like a deliberate callback.

The moment sparked immediate comparisons to her Oscars night thirteen years ago, when Jolie’s exaggerated stance spawned the viral @AngiesRightLeg Twitter account and a wave of memes.

The red-carpet reprise comes amid a busy period for Jolie. She stars in “Couture,” which premiered at TIFF and explores the intersection of film and fashion.

Off-screen, she is expanding Atelier Jolie, the collaborative studio she launched in 2023 to champion upcycling and artisanship; past projects have included a co-designed capsule with Chloé and an Oscars gown crafted from repurposed silk.

And if Sunday night’s appearance proved anything, it’s that the actress still knows how to turn a carpet into a cultural moment.

Thirteen years later, Jolie proves that the pose still has legs.
