'MALAFICENT' actress Angelina Jolie has said having a double mastectomy last year was "the right choice" for her family, and revealed she wants to tell her story to inspire women around the world.The 'Maleficent' actress underwent the preventative procedure in February 2013 after being told she had an 87 per cent chance of getting breast cancer, and she spoke out about her decision in order to help other women in similar positions.She told the Mail on Sunday newspaper's You magazine: "I didn't know how it would be received. But I felt that the important thing was that I wanted to speak to other women."I wanted to speak to other daughters of women like my mother [who died from ovarian cancer in 2007]. I wanted other women to be aware of something that they could take on and protect themselves from."I felt that I'd learnt something about my health, and I felt I'd made the right choice for my family and I simply wanted other women to know that there was that choice." Angelina is facing further surgery because she is genetically at risk of suffering from ovarian cancer, and she has been inspired by the support from women all over the world.She added: "It has been lovely and very moving; I've had so much support and kindness ... I'll get advice from all the wonderful people I've been talking to, to get through the next stage."

For the upcoming movie Maleficent, Angelina Jolie's signature smize will be brimming with something earthy and animalistic (besides the new MAC-inspired makeup collection). That's because she will be glaring at you with special contact lenses, inspired by goats. Yes, goats. An Allure interview with Maleficent special-effects makeup artist Rick Baker and Jolie's personal makeup artist, Toni G, revealed the reason for the inspiration: “That’s also something Angie wanted. They have horizontal pupils. It’s funny. Usually I’m the one pushing for prosthetics and weirdness and it was kind of the reverse on this film." Maybe Jolie just knew that Maleficent deserved a place with the goats meme.

Cannes 2014: Snap! Angelina Jolie and Jane Fonda’s near-identical Elie Saab moment

Jane Fonda serves up a good old 'who wore it best?' as she steps out at Cannes in a near-identical Elie Saab couture dress to Angelina Jolie's Oscars gown.Angelina Jolie and Jane Fonda have a lot in common. Though the 38-year age gap means that they don't favour the same retro hair flicks, the Hollywood mega stars do read out of a strikingly similar style book.Ange and Jane are partial to masculine tailoring on the red carpet, with both actresses enjoying red carpet moments in luxe dark tailoring from the likes of Saint Laurent and Reem Acra, respectively. It was thus a surprise for Planet Fashion when Jolie plumped for an ultra-feminine, beaded Elie Saab Couture confection for the 2014 Oscars.It was not dark, there were no side splits or mono straps and none of her tattoos were on display. Though more Russian princess than classic Jolie, the 38-year-old was resplendent.Fast-forward six weeks from the Oscars to the Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony, and we did a double dress take at the sight of Fonda's near-identical Elie Saab gown. Blood red and ravishing, the 76-year-old emulated Jolie's semi-sheer, embellished look, but with a sassy golden age twist that only a pillar of Hollywood, like Fonda, can pull off.Though the last 'who wore it best?' served up a clear winner in the Dolce & Gabbana face off between Helen Mirren and Rita Ora, we're going to bow out of this one. Maybe we're going soft in our old age, but both Jolie and Fonda executed the Elie Saab showstoppers with the finesse of true red carpet professionals. Just try not to picture Ange with Jane's signature va va voom hair (lol).
