Even Angelina Jolie Is Buying Into This Seasons Ballet Flats Trend

Posted by Reinaldo Massengill on Wednesday, February 7, 2024

Ballet flats are seemingly inescapable this season—and even Angelina Jolie got the memo.

Though the actor’s street style often invokes a classic stiletto pump (and, on occasion, a pair of heeled boots), she recently stepped out in Paris championing the resurgence of ballet flats.

Jolie, who is in the midst of filming Pablo Larraín’s biopic on opera singer Maria Callas, showed off her monochromatic uniform via a sleeveless black knit midi dress with a side leg slit from Another Tomorrow and a sensible pair of black ballet flats with a tiny bow adorning each toe. On one arm, she carried her go-to Celine tote, a massive bag featuring black leather trimming and the house’s signature logo print in black and white. Over the bag, she casually slung a creamy trench coat. The actor accessorized sparingly, opting for just a pair of large black sunglasses.

The Maleficent star doesn’t often venture out in flats. In fact, she is almost always spotted in a pair of towering pumps, whether she’s enjoying a day out with her kids or stepping off a plane at the airport.

For instance, Jolie was seen at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport wearing black leather pointed-toe heels. She paired the sky-high shoes with an equally dramatic outfit, which consisted of a black floor-length double-breasted winter coat with flared sleeves and a sweeping hemline.

Prior to that occasion, she set out in New York with her 19-year-old son, Pax, wearing a pair of suede pumps with a silky black cami, wide-leg pants, and a blazer.
