Angelina Jolie last walked the Cannes Film Festival red carpet 14 years ago. The actor, philanthropist, and Atelier Jolie founder seemed to decide that was a few years too many. On May 16, she made her triumphant return to La Croisette with a glamorous adjustment to one of her favorite designers.
Returning to one of fashion's glitziest (and strictest) red carpets could stress out even the most seasoned pros. So Jolie and style advisor Ilya Vanzato decided to modify her emotional support sweater brand for a photo-op at the Eddington premiere. Steps away from Natalie Portman in custom Dior, Jolie glittered in a Fall 2025 gown by Brunello Cucinelli—the same label behind many of the cashmere matching sets and quiet luxury dresses she wears around New York City. It shared the creamy, curl-up-and-read ivory shade of Jolie's favorite neutral knitwear. The subtle presence of glittering thread and a stiff, structured A-line skirt weren't anything like her ordinary outfits.
