It appears that Angelina Jolie has created a uniform look for her regular flights across the globe.And the actress was once again seen rocking her favourite all-black ensemble as she arrived at London’s Heathrow airport with her 11-year-old son, Pax.The Hollywood star cut a stylish figure in a pair of skinny Saint Laurent cigarette trousers, which she teamed with a simple black top and a matching blazer.The only pop of colour came from her iconic Chloe ‘Lauren’ flats with scalloped edging and her equally classic brown Louis Vuitton holdall.Shielding her eyes with simple black shades, the actress was all smiles as she was helped from her car by staff.Her long black locks were worn naturally straight while she appeared to be wearing minimal make-up for the trip.Pax was dressed casually in camouflage shorts, a black and white top and grey trainers while he carried a large black rucksack.Angelina – who is married to actor Brad Pitt – is reportedly set to buy an island with her spouse.The pair are reportedly ready to splash out $4.7 million on Gaia island in Greece for them and their six children, Maddox, 13, Pax, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.A source told US' OK! magazine: ‘Angie fell in love with it. The kids would finally be able to run around freely without worrying about paparazzi.’ The couple are believed to have already secured a construction permit for six villas on the sprawling 43-acre hideaway. Meanwhile, Brad certainly didn't scrimp for his wife's 40th birthday recently as he reportedly purchased a vintage seaplane for her.The couple made a visit to a dealer in Europe ahead of the purchase and are keeping it on their runway at their home in Château Miraval near Brignoles, France. Brad also threw in flying lessons for Angelina so she is able to land her plane on the water.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt shun First Class luxury as they fly ECONOMY with their six children from Paris to Nice

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are two of the world's most famous people.But it's clear the Hollywood stars like to keep things as down-to-earth as possible for themselves and their brood of six children.The famous family shunned a private jet or even the luxury of First Class in order to take a normal approach to travelling as they piled into an Air France plane on Saturday, going from the US to France, landing in Paris before taking a domestic trip down to Nice.It was on the second leg of their journey that the Jolie-Pitts were seen blending in with their fellow passengers on the aircraft. The 40-year-old actress and 51-year-old actor were seen leaving Los Angeles International airport, leading the way as their kids - Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, ten, Shiloh, nine and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - held hands while heading through the terminal.They looked just like any other family as they made their way to check in for the flight, before climbing aboard the liner.But it was the middle part of their trip - as they landed in Paris before switching onto a connecting flight to head to Nice in the South of France - that really showed them to be like any ordinary family unit.Instead of travelling First Class in the lap of luxury like many of their peers, Brad, Angelina and the kids took their seats in the rows of the plane in the Economy section.Brad and Angelina were also seen putting their hand luggage into the overhead storage, while their children settled down for the short flight from the French capital to the Cote d'Azur location. And, before hopping onto the domestic flight, the family waited for two hours at Charles de Gaulle Airport along with other passengers.
They certainly blended in with their fellow travellers as they made their way south towards Nice, before getting off and leaving the airport together as a family unit after their long-haul two-part journey from Los Angeles.Maleficent star Angelina looked casual in her low-key, jet-set attire of a simple black t-shirt, tailored trousers and a sleek blazer.She wore her long brunette tresses down and covered her face with a pair of shades.Meanwhile, Brad attempted to go incognito with a tight-fitting purple t-shirt, sunglasses and a fedora, his ever-changing beard short and giving him a salt-and-pepper appearance.After disembarking from the second flight, the family were escorted though the airport - each of them toting their own hand luggage, a few of the youngsters laden with their backpacks - as they got into a large car to continue their journey on land. Brad, Angelina and the children were perhaps visiting the couple's wine château - Château Miraval - in the village of Correns that they have been leasing since 2008 and which they usually travel to on a private jet.It's the very same location they famously tied the knot last year, and a favoured destination of the Jolie-Pitts when taking time off from their busy schedules.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their brood are experienced travellers.So it comes as no surprise that the family has a system to make it through the airport terminal as headache free as possible.The 51-year-old actor and 40-year-old actress had their six children hold hands pair-by-pair as they made their way through the terminal at LAX on Saturday.Ten-year-old Zahara held hands with six-year-old Knox while Angelina clutched onto the hands of six-year-old Vivienne and nine-year-old Shiloh.The eldest kids: 13-year-old Maddox and 11-year-old Pax did not hold hands like their younger siblings but did walk alongside one another.Pax showed his rebellious preteen style as he sported some tribal henna tattoos on his arm while walking through the international terminal and travel hub.Angelina opted for a mostly black look as she sported a suit jacket, top and trousers.She completed the outfit with a pair of nude-coloured patent leather flat shoes and accessorised with cat eye shades with fade lenses.The Maleficent star wore her raven-coloured locks down as she wore neutral-coloured make-up on her face highlighted by a swipe of shiny lip.Brad also opted for a dark look as her rocked entirely black including a leather moto jacket, V-neck shirt, jeans and sneakers in the same colour.The Inglorious Basterds star also sported a black fedora and gold circular-framed sunglasses while making his way to their flight.
No doubt the family has been enjoying the past few days as Angelina celebrated her 40th birthday on Thursday.On her birthday, an article was released from the new issue of Interview magazine containing a Q&A with Domhnall Gleeson, who she casted in her WWII survival drama Unbroken, which she directed.Though she was interviewing the 32-year-old Irish actor, it was revealed that the character from the Star Wars franchise that Angelina likes the most is bounty hunter Boba Fett.The subject of Star Wars came up because the actor has a part in JJ Abrams' reboot The Force Awakens, which hits theaters this December.'I'm personally a Boba Fett fan,' the mother of six told the 32-year-old Irish actor.Fett is a bounty hunter who wears a heavy helmet with glass shield, armor and is loaded up with weapons and ammunition.

Captain Marvel Could Pair Charlize Theron With Angelina Jolie

We've been hearing rumors swirling around for a while now that Angelina Jolie might be a candidate in line to potentially take the helm of Marvel Studios' upcoming superhero film Captain Marvel. Today that story is expanding a little bit, as now there is talk not only that Jolie will direct, but that she might bring along Charlize Theron to star.This story should definitely be taken with a gigantic grain of salt, but according to a source at OK! Magazine (via Yahoo!), recent months have seen a deep friendship forged between Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron, and that friendship could possibly result in the two women teaming up for Marvel's first female-superhero led movie. The source even suggested that Theron deciding to work on Captain Marvel could be what gets Jolie to commit to the project, saying,Marvel has been courting Angie to direct the project and Charlize is a clear fan favourite for the starring role. If Charlize were to get the part, Angie would almost certainly sign on to work with her new pal.Right off the bat, there is something fishy about this story. It's true that Charlize Theron has been wowing action fans recently thanks to her stunning performance in George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road, but saying that she is the fan favorite to play Captain Marvel might be considered a bit of a stretch - mostly because it's really been actresses like Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt and Katheryn Winnick who have garnering the most attention in that department. That being said, it's not like Charlize Theron wouldn't be a great choice to play the first ever live-action Carol Danvers, so who knows.
As for Angelina Jolie potentially directing Captain Marvel, it would definitely be an interesting choice. Between In The Land of Blood and Honey and Unbroken, Jolie has shown an inclination towards telling big screen stories of real-life drama and struggles of the human spirit, and while it wouldn't be at all impossible to hit on those themes in a comic book movie, it would definitely be a major change of pace for her as a filmmaker. At this point, all talk of her connection to Marvel is based on stories with unnamed sources, so it's hard to say if there actually is a connection, but she would be an interesting choice for the gig.Do you think Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron might make an interesting pair to join up as director-lead actor for Captain Marvel? Or would you be more interested in seeing Marvel Studios go in a different direction with the aesthetic and the character for the movie?
