Angelina Jolie called an 'actual angel' for wearing unique look

The red carpet blackout is over so Angelina Jolie’s leaning into the light. On Thursday, the director attended the Critics’ Awards wearing a white midi dress. The unique piece, featuring a draped asymmetrical hemline with a feathered bodice, was a hit with fashion fans on social media, with one even calling her an angel.

She accessorized simply with geometric diamond earrings and painted her lips bright red that stood out against the white number.

The look is unique for the director, who typically sticks to a darker color palette. Case in point: even after the Golden Globes that called on actresses to wear black to protest sexual harassment in the entertainment industry and beyond, she stuck with the color at the National Board of Review event on Wednesday night.

Like the rest of her peers, she did wear black to Sunday’s awards show. The gown featured a sheer neckline and arms with a feathered hemline.
