• Angelina Jolie receives Maltin Modern Master Award
  • No Oscar nomination for 'Maria Callas' role
  • Star-studded line-up at the film festival

Angelina Jolie (49) was honoured with the Maltin Modern Master Award at the 40th Santa Barbara International Film Festival. This prestigious award, named after film critic Leonard Maltin, celebrates actors who have enriched culture through their significant contributions to film. Although she was recognised for her portrayal of the late opera singer Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín's biopic "Maria", Jolie was notably absent from the 2025 Oscar nominations.

However, the actress seemed unfazed by the snub, radiating confidence as she graced the festival’s exclusive red carpet.

Angelina Jolie’s stunning look

For her appearance, Angelina Jolie selected a backless, off-white silk dress that accentuated her slim figure and showcased her impressive collection of back tattoos (second image). Going braless, she effortlessly pulled off the look with undeniable elegance and allure.

Her dyed blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders in soft waves. She paired her outfit with black stilettos and a silver thumb ring. Her makeup, featuring dark eyeshadow, peach-toned blush, and glossy lipstick, completed the look.

Angelina Jolie marked her breakthrough in 1999 with the film 'Girl, Interrupted', for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. She rose to global fame as the action heroine in 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider'.

Other career highlights include her roles in 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith', 'Wanted', and 'Salt'. She found particular success as the iconic villain in 'Maleficent' (2014) and its sequel (2019). Additionally, she earned critical acclaim for her serious roles, such as in 'Changeling', directed by Clint Eastwood.
