Angelina Jolie flaunts back tattoos backless dress at ‘Couture’ Rome premiere
Angelina Jolie bared her back in a stunning black frock at the Rome premiere of “Couture.”
The “Tomb Raider” actress stepped onto the red carpet in a caped backless gown that exposed her massive back tattoos. The midnight-hued midi dress fell in graceful drapes around her arms and shoulders as she waved at fans while arriving for the premiere on Saturday.
The “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” actress paired the look with black stiletto booties and sheer stockings, and accessorized with jeweled earrings. Jolie, 50, rocked minimal makeup and wore her hair long and straight for the event, which was held at Rome’s Auditorium Parco Della Musica.
Alongside the iconic actress at the event were co-stars Anyier Anei and Louis Garrel, and writer/director Alice Winocour.
The actress — who recently issued a rare comment on her decision to preventatively have a double mastectomy — stars as a middle-aged “film director tasked with making a short piece of work for a Paris Fashion Week show” named Maxine.
“Amidst the glitz and chaos of fashion’s most frenzied week,” Maxine is ultimately diagnosed with breast cancer, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
“I did choose to have that [surgery] because I lost my mother and my grandmother very young,” the mom of six told Hello! magazine earlier this month.
“I have the BRCA gene, so I chose to have a double mastectomy a decade ago,” she added. “And then I’ve also had my ovaries removed, because that’s what took my mother.”
The “Maleficent” star’s mother Marcheline Bertrand died at 56 in 2007 after battling both ovarian and breast cancer.
“Those are my choices,” Jolie continued. “I don’t say everybody should do it that way, but it’s important to have the choice. And I don’t regret it.”
Last month, the actress reflected on her mother’s battle with the disease while promoting the film at the Toronto International Film Festival.
When asked during a Q&A for a message of “hope,” Jolie became emotional.
“I think I will say that one thing I remember my mother saying when she had cancer, she said to me once, we had had a dinner and people were asking her how she was feeling and she said, ‘All anybody ever asks me about is cancer,’” she said.
“So I would say, if you know someone who is going through something, ask them about everything else in their life as well, you know? They’re a whole person and they’re still living.”
In a 2020 essay for the New York Times, the actress wrote, “When I look back to that time, I can see how much her death changed me.”
