With Chanel as a leading sponsor of Angelina Jolie's Couture, fans expected its leading lady to commence her press tour in a Matthieu Blazy design. Instead, a custom naked dress from Givenchy's Sarah Burton joined Jolie at the February 9 Paris premiere.
Fresh off the heels of Paris Haute Couture Week, Jolie could've had her pick of the Spring 2026 Couture crop before the Couture screening. Even so, she went straight to Burton at Givenchy. Only the Alexander McQueen alum could get Jolie in her nakedest dress yet: a short-sleeve, ankle-grazing maxi crafted from near-invisible illusion mesh. Silver, strategically-placed sequins became timeless florals atop the otherwise trendy slip. Then, sequin fringe embroidery extended far beyond the nude underlay's hem; a surprisingly distressed switch compared to Burton's polished Spring 2026 pieces.
