There are perfectly good celebrity style moments, and then there are the looks that really stick with you, the ones you try desperately to recreate at home. In ‘Great Outfits in Fashion History,’ Fashionista editors are revisiting their all-time favorite lewks.
Angelina Jolie is one of the most enduring style stars. Her looks from the early aughts — when she was most known for roles in “Girl, Interrupted” and “Tomb Raider” — are some of my personal favorites, as they played with (and subverted) notions of feminine and masculine dressing. Her laid-back suit from the “Shrek 2” premiere (?) at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival is a perfect show of this.
Her black pinstriped two-piece had a subtle sheen to it, with tuxedo-like lapels that contrasted with the casualness of the unbuttoned shirt layered beneath. The star kept it rather plain with her accessories, only adding hoop earrings and pointy black heels.
