Angelina Jolie turned heads once again with her impeccable fashion sense, this time at the Critics Choice Awards. The actress, known for her timeless elegance, arrived in a stunning transparent nude gown, pairing the ethereal look with her signature blonde locks and a bold red lip. This appearance comes just days after she graced the Santa Barbara Film Festival in an angelic all-white ensemble, proving her status as a red carpet icon.
Jolie’s Critics Choice Awards appearance holds special significance as she is nominated for Best Actress for her transformative role in Maria, where she portrays the legendary opera singer Maria Callas. However, this nomination may mark one of her final awards show appearances for the film, as Maria was notably snubbed by the Screen Actors Guild and received only a single Oscar nod for Best Cinematography.
In a recent interview with W magazine, Jolie opened up about the intense preparation and emotional journey of playing Maria Callas. “I was very ‘in it’ when I was in it,” she shared. “I had seven months of singing, Italian, and opera classes. Throughout filming, Pablo (Larrain, the director) and the team treated me like a singer, which meant a lot to me. I had pianos everywhere, my coaches, and every night I practiced for the next performance. But as a mom, I could step away from a heavy day and focus on my family.”
Jolie also reflected on her deep connection to Callas’s story, emphasizing the opera singer’s resilience and humanity. “The more I learned about Maria, the more I felt she deserved empathy and understanding,” Jolie said. “In her final years, when she was so criticized and alone, my goal was for the audience to give her life a second look. To give her one more moment.”
While Maria may not have garnered the awards attention many expected, Jolie’s dedication to the role and her ability to bring Callas’s story to life have left a lasting impression. As she continues to balance her career with her role as a mother, Jolie remains a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the screen.
