Angelina Jolie captivated audiences at the AFI Film Festival in Los Angeles on October 26 during the premiere of her latest project, “Maria.” The 49-year-old star turned heads in a form-fitting nude silk gown that beautifully showcased her silhouette, complemented by a lightweight black shawl-style jacket.

Her makeup was equally striking, featuring a bold red lipstick that matched her nails and dramatic black eyeliner that accentuated her eyes. For accessories, she opted for understated yet sophisticated drop earrings.

However, it was Jolie’s unexpected hairstyle that really grabbed attention and sparked conversation. Ditching her usual sleek look, she sported voluminous beachy curls with a deep side part, leaving fans and critics surprised.

Social media erupted with a mix of opinions. Some users were quick to voice their disapproval, with comments like, “Her hair looks damaged,” and “Bad hair day.” Another user bluntly stated, “She looks a mess for real.” Several critics even targeted her styling team, with one declaring, “Her stylist needs to be fired,” while another added, “Her styling team needs to go.”

Reflecting on her fashion evolution in a 2023 Vogue interview, Jolie acknowledged her struggles with personal style. “I felt vulnerable,” she admitted. “Now I wonder if I don’t know what my style is because I’m still figuring out who I am at 48. I suppose I’m in a transitional phase in my life.” Amidst the discussions, some users expressed skepticism about Akala’s role in Jolie’s life, with comments like, “He’s a brave man,” and “Good luck to whoever he is!”
