Angelina Jolie has been deemed ‘the most beautiful woman in the world’ on numerous occasions. It is a difficult title to dispute. With her piercing green, feline eyes and divine bone structure, she is almost otherworldly. But it doesn't hurt that she has impeccable style. As the star turns 45, we're delved into the archives.
Rising to international stardom through roles in Girl, Interrupted, Tomb Raider and Mr & Mrs Smith, Angelina proved herself as a talent as well as a sex symbol. She has also worked tirelessly as an advocate for human rights, has been praised for her work as a philanthropist and humanitarian, and has found acclaim as a director too. With all those red carpets, she needs outfits galore, and she loves returning to her favourite labels. So, from her Ralph & Russo gowns, to her Saint Laurent suits, with one, iconic leg-baring Oscar dress somewhere in between, here are our favourite moments.
Happy Birthday, Angelina.
