Angelina Jolie embraced the glitz and glamour at the New York Film Festival, attending the premiere of her latest film, Maria, with her three children, Pax, Zahara, and Maddox. The actress dazzled in a white gown, accompanied by her children on the red carpet, where they posed for photographers and shared lighthearted moments. Maria, directed by Pablo Larraín, sees Angelina transforming into the iconic opera singer Maria Callas. The film, which will be available on Netflix starting December 20, has already garnered critical acclaim, with Angelina receiving some of the best reviews of her career.
At the premiere, Angelina exuded elegance in a sleeveless white gown, her blonde hair parted to one side, and a bold red lip completing her look. Zahara complemented her mother in a white dress, while Pax donned a grey suit, and Maddox chose a classic black suit. The family’s close bond was evident as they held hands and giggled together.
Maria delves into the final chapter of Callas’ life in 1977, focusing on her struggles with substance abuse, a deteriorating voice, and significant weight loss. The film’s synopsis describes it as a portrayal of the legendary soprano’s public image and private battles, set during the final week of her life in Paris.
Directed by Pablo Larraín, known for Jackie and Spencer, Maria has been generating Oscar buzz for Angelina’s performance. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where it received an eight-minute standing ovation, moving Angelina to tears. Maria is set for a limited theatrical release on November 27 before its Netflix debut on December 11.
