Angelina Jolie, known for sticking to a consistent style over the years, has recently embraced change. Her hair has progressively lightened, and she recently unveiled a striking transformation that ignited a wave of reactions.

At the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film Maria during AFI Fest, Jolie debuted a bold, curly hairstyle. Directed by Pablo Larraín, known for Jackie, the film features Angelina portraying opera legend Maria Callas during her final years in 1970s Paris.

For the event, Angelina surprised fans with voluminous curls reminiscent of 1980s glamour. Departing from her signature sleek brunette look, her new hairstyle cascaded in soft waves, transitioning from a rich dark brown to lighter tones.

Her ensemble complemented her transformation—a shimmering gold gown paired with a chic black wrap featuring dramatic robe-like sleeves. She added a touch of classic elegance with crimson lipstick and pearl earrings, channeling Hollywood sophistication and paying subtle homage to Callas.

Fans were quick to share their thoughts on the star’s new look. Admirers praised her daring hairstyle, with one commenting, “Her hair looks fab! Very 80s,” and another noting, “She’s still a very beautiful woman who can rock any style.” Others, however, were divided. Some felt the curls aged her, with one remarking, “The curly hair and red lips make her look older,” while another joked, “Whoever did those curls must have had a vendetta!”

Still, some saw the change as refreshing, with one fan saying, “Finally, a real shift. This look feels softer and more fun.”

Jolie’s noticeable thinness has also been a topic of speculation and discussion for over a month, adding to the ongoing buzz surrounding her appearance.
