Angelina Jolie was among the stars featured in Variety’s Actors on Actors issue, appearing alongside Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo.
The Maria actress opted for a sleek, formal look, trading in her usual trench coats and gowns for a striking white power suit. The ensemble featured a plunging neckline with a single button closure and two pockets for added comfort. She paired it with matching trousers.
Jolie completed the outfit with beige pumps, gold bangles, and geometric oversized earrings for an elegant touch.
What truly stood out was a rare glimpse of her chest tattoo—a detail not often seen, as the actress has been keeping a low profile and adopting a more understated wardrobe since becoming a mother.

Angelina Jolie Gives Fans A Glimpse Of Her Chest Tattoo
The new tattoo made its first appearance at the 2024 Tony Awards back in June, featuring a tiny black bird in the center of her chest as she posed on the red carpet in.
The tattoo depicts a black outline of a swallow, a bird known to symbolize loyalty and homecoming, as their migratory patterns always bring them back to square one.
The mother of six styled her blonde hair in a side part and kept her overall makeup minimal.
During the chat with Cynthia, the fashion designer also opened up about her insecurities while filming Maria.
@varietymagazine Angelina Jolie recounts the impact “Defying Gravity” had on her daughter when she first heard the song: “I felt that feeling of, ‘Oh, she needs this. She sees this. She’s feeling this desire to know that there’s endless possibility.’” | #ActorsOnActors original sound – Variety
Angelina Jolie Opens Up About Her Insecurities
Jolie was insecure about singing opera for Maria because she didn’t believe she had a good voice.
“I was terrified. But I think it’s a gift as an artist—and I know you felt this going into your film as well—when you’re just not sure you’re able to do it. You’re not sure you’re good enough. The task, the challenge, is set, and you feel small. It’s a gift for an artist…People keep quoting me because I made, not the mistake—I admitted it was like a therapy. But it really is,” she explained.
She continued to open up and say, “Because I didn’t realize the practice of it and the learning of it is one thing, but it was finding my voice and letting my voice out that was really hard for me. And I was really emotional about it. I didn’t know how much I had lost my voice. Maybe when I lost my mother, maybe when someone hurt me—whatever it was, the different things that had made it smaller and locked it away.”
