Angelina Jolie looked sleek as she stepped out in New York Saturday. The 48-year-old Oscar winner, who has been spending time in the Big Apple with her kids, highlighted her warm skin tones in a light brown suit and beige top. The Eternals star stepped out in neutral toned pumps. She wore natural looking makeup with a soft peach lip and styled her shoulder length hair straight with the part slightly off center. The Maleficent star was accompanied by her daughter Vivienne, 15, who looked comfortable in a pair of beige pants and a plumb toned T-shirt and sneakers. The teen pulled her light brown hair into a ponytail and appeared to be makeup free. The pair were spotted arriving for a meeting for their new Broadway show. Vivienne has developed an interest in theater and has been working as an assistant to her mother as the pair work to bring a show to the Great White Way. Angelina shares Vivienne with ex-husband Brad Pitt along with: Knox, 15, Shiloh, 17, Zahara, 18, Pax, 19, and Maddox, 22. The mother-daughter team are combing their efforts to produce the stage version of SE Hinton's 1967 classic The Outsiders. The author, born Susan Eloise Hinton, wrote the bulk of the popular novel when she was only a teenager in high school in Oklahoma, so it seems serendipitous that Vivienne is interested in helping give it new life. Angelina and Vivienne have met with the author as they forge ahead on their endeavor. Director Danya Taymor, 34, is the niece of Tony winner and Oscar nominee Julie Taymor, known for bringing The Lion King musical to the stage. Frances Ford Coppola turned the book into a film. The 1983 movie helped launch the careers of Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Rob Lowe, and Diane Lane. The musical made its world premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego in February. The theater is known for launching successful shows such as Tony award winning Come From Away. In a statement to People, the proud mom wrote, 'Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives.' 'She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.' Mother and daughter shared a smile as they left the meeting a few hours later. Vivienne stayed close to her mother as they made their way the a car waiting to take them back to their hotel.

Angelina Jolie looked effortlessly chic as she stepped out in NYC on Friday with son Pax, 19 and daughter Vivienne, 15. The Oscar-winning actress, 48, wowed in a flowing white dress, teamed with a tailored cream blazer and nude heels as she strolled. Her ombre tresses were styled in soft waves and she sported chic shades and a radiant palette of make-up. She accessorized with a patterned handbag as she walked alongside her stylish son. Pax wore a white graphic print sweater, teamed with a black crossbody bag and Converse, completing the look with shades.'Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention, but in being a support to other creatives,' Jolie said in a statement to People. The Mr. & Mrs. Smith star continued: 'She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.' Vivienne was actually the person who inspired the filmmaker to get involved with The Outsiders when she took her to see the world premiere of the show at La Jolla Playhouse in California earlier this year. That led to a meeting with author Hinton, who wrote the book as a teenager around Vivienne's age. Written by Adam Rapp and Justin Levine, the Broadway musical of The Outsiders will be directed by Danya Taymor; music and lyrics by Jamestown Revival (Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance); music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Justin Levine; and choreography by Rick Kuperman and Jeff Kuperman.
'I studied at the Lee Strasberg Institute where I realized my first love, as a performer, was the theatre,' the Academy Award winner said. 'I had not found a way back until now. I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse.'The Broadway cast and dates for The Outsiders musical are still pending. Along with Vivienne and Pax, Jolie also shares four other children with ex-husband Brad Pitt that includes: Knox, 15, Shiloh, 17, Zahara, 18, and Maddox, 22. Over the years, Maddox and Pax have also dipped their feet in the entertainment industry as they previously worked in the assistant director department for their mom's upcoming drama war film Without Blood. Pax previously collaborated with his mom on First They Killed My Father (2017), shooting behind-the-scenes stills for the drama film, which is about the same job he had for Without Blood. 'We work well together. When a film crew is at its best, it feels like a big family, so it felt natural,' Jolie said of Pax and Maddox's work in the assistant director department, which serves as the liaison between her job as the director and other departments of the production.Pax, the second eldest son of Jolie and ex-husband Brad Pitt, is reportedly serious about his love for art, and that he's said to be preparing for a show at a gallery in Tel Aviv, Israel. Adopted from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in March 2007, the artistic young man graduated from college in 2021. So far, it's not exactly known what type of art he's focused on, but there have been some people who have describes his style as 'abstract.'

Angelina Jolie opts for a stylish black cut-out dress as she heads to her new studio with daughter Vivienne, 15, after hiring her as an assistant

Angelina Jolie cut a stylish figure as she stepped out with her daughter Vivienne to head to her new studio in New York City on Thursday.The actress, filmmaker and humanitarian, 48, looked undeniably chic in a black cut-out midi dress while leaving her hotel in the Big Apple. Angelina was joined by her teenage daughter, 15, who donned a purple T-shirt and taupe wide-legged trousers. The pair were seen entering Jean-Michel Basquiat's final New York Apartment and Studio in Soho after signing an eight-year lease on the property. Angelina has been spotted in New York several times in recent days, following news earlier this month that she had joined the Broadway-bound production of the musical The Outsiders as a lead producer.The short-sleeved item showcased the brunette beauties toned and tattooed arms, and she wore it bra-free. She flashed some flesh thanks to chic cutouts in the dress highlighting her sides and back. Angelina wore her long blond-highlighted brunette locks cascading down her shoulders with a side part, which framed her cool black sunglasses. She carried a black jacket on her arm, along with a quilted black clutch, and she stood tall in pointy black heels. The By The Sea writer, director and star completed her look with small gold-framed diamond earrings. Angelina appeared to be heading out solo, but she has been seen earlier this month in the company of her children, including her 19-year-old son Pax and her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne. It's not clear if her other children will be joining her in New York City, as she was seen arriving at JFK Airport earlier this week with just the two flanking her. olie's sighting on Wednesday with Vivienne follows news that she has hired her daughter as an assistant on The Outsiders.According to ET, Vivienne will be Angelina's volunteer assistant, presumably meaning the daughter of the wealthy actress won't be paid. 'Viv reminds me of my mother [Marcheline Bertrand] in that she isn't focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives,' Angelina told the outlet via a statement. 'She's very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.'
A source added that Vivienne 'loves musical theater' and that she and her mother have been going to productions 'since she was a little girl.' The Outsiders is inspired by the film of the same name, which was co-written and directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, as well as the novel of the same name by S. E. Hinton, who co-wrote the film's screenplay. The movie divided critics at the time, though it has been more warmly received in recent years, and it is considered a key text in the filmography of the 'Brat Pack,' a group of young actors who often starred in coming-of-age films in the 1980s, several of whom became major stars. The Outsiders was a who's-who of soon-to-be A-listers when it was released in 1983, and its ensemble cast featured Diane Lane, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio and even Tom Cruise, who had a small role. The musical premiered on the West Coast at the La Jolla Playhouse earlier this year, and a source told ET that Angelina and Vivienne 'both fell in love' with it upon seeing the show. 'Angelina and Vivienne subsequently met with S.E. Hinton, who was around Vivienne's age when she wrote the novel,' the insider claimed. 'As a result of seeing the show and the conversation with S.E. Hinton, Angelina was inspired to take a role as a lead producer for the upcoming launch on Broadway.' So far, a premiere date and a cast for the Broadway edition have not been announced. 'I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse,' Angelina said in a statement earlier this month. 'I can't begin to express how excited I am for this musical to make its Broadway debut and look forward to sharing this new adaptation of The Outsiders with the world.'

It appears as though A-list actress and director Angelina Jolie is slowly but surely turning her career in Hollywood into a family affair. After sons Maddox and Pax worked in the assistant director department for her upcoming drama war film Without Blood, daughter Vivienne will now be by her mother's side as her volunteer assistant for the new Broadway musical The Outsiders, for which Jolie is serving as lead producer. With much to do ahead of the Broadway venture, which is an adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel and Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 film and her new clothing brand Atelier Jolie, the Maleficent star has been spotted taking care of business across New York City in recent days. On Wednesday, Jolie was seen making the rounds in the artsy Soho neighborhood of Downtown Manhattan with Pax, who's also been working secretly as an artist under the name Embtto, according to Page Six. Their time together came one day after the Oscar-winning actress spent much of her Tuesday in Soho with Vivienne.The always stylish Jolie, 48, looked New York fashionable in all-black for her day with Pax, 19, consisting of slacks with a matching blazer over a blouse with lovely lace across the neckline. The protective mom led the charge out of a few different shoppes and galleries wearing sexy black heels and her brown tresses flowing long and straight past her shoulders with a part slightly off to the left. Pax opted for a casual but stylish look in black pants with a light brown sweatshirt and whit old-school Converse sneakers. He also sported a black baseball cap over his short dark hair, all while he and his mom carried bags during their afternoon outing. One of the bags Pax had appeared to have in hand was for his camera and other gear related to photography. Pax previously collaborated with his mom on First They Killed My Father (2017), shooting behind-the-scenes stills for the drama film, which is about the same job he had for Without Blood. 'We work well together. When a film crew is at its best, it feels like a big family, so it felt natural,' Jolie said of Pax and Maddox's work in the assistant director department, which serves as the liaison between her job as the director and other departments of the production. Pax, the second eldest son of Jolie and ex-husband Brad Pitt, is reportedly serious about his love for art, and that he's said to be preparing for a show at a gallery in Tel Aviv, Israel.Adopted from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in March 2007, the artistic young man graduated from college in 2021. So far, it's not exactly known what type of art he's focused on, but there have been some people who have describes his style as 'abstract.' There has been speculation that the mother and son duo's visit together in New York City may be related to business involving her new clothing brand. Aptly named Atelier Jolie, the project is a creative collective that the filmmaker says is a place 'where everyone can create.' Slated to launch in the fall, Atelier will be a place 'for creative people to collaborate with a skilled and diverse family of expert tailors, pattern makers and artisans from around the world,' she added.
Years in the making, the Atelier Jolie brand will only use leftover garments, quality vintage material and deadstock (a.k.a. surplus) fabrics, according to People. The mission statement, which will include reducing waste and creating clothes that can be passed down for generations, is something that acclaimed actress has done for years.On Tuesday, Jolie looked equally New York cool in a full-length black dress for her day with her new Outsiders assistant, Vivienne, at her side. The pair were first spotted together leaving a building in Soho and then making their way to an awaiting vehicle. At certain points, The Land Of Blood And Honey writer and director had a black blazer over her shoulders, all while wearing a pair of tan heels. As for her teenaged daughter, she kept it casual in the fashion department in a white sweatshirt that was tucked into baggy black pants, along with black sneakers. Mother and daughter ended up hooking up with theater actor Anthony Norman for dinner. The trio were seen sharing welcome hugs on the street before heading into the establishment for food and drinks. In the time that they've already worked together on The Outsiders project, the mother of six says Vivienne's work ethic already reminds her of her own mom. 'Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives,' Jolie said in a statement obtained by People. 'She'x very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.' Vivienne was actually the person who inspired the filmmaker to get involved with The Outsiders when she took her to see the world premiere of the show at La Jolla Playhouse in California earlier this year.That led to a meeting with author Hinton, who wrote the book as a teenager around Vivienne's age.Written by Adam Rapp and Justin Levine, the Broadway musical of The Outsiders will be directed by Danya Taymor; music and lyrics by Jamestown Revival (Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance); music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Justin Levine; and choreography by Rick Kuperman and Jeff Kuperman.

The Broadway cast and dates for The Outsiders musical are still pending.Along with Pax, Vivienne and Maddox, Jolie also shares three other children with ex-husband Brad Pitt that includes: Knox, 15, Shiloh, 17, and Zahara, 18.

Angelina Jolie, 48, has a youthful summer glow with ombre hair and a white trench coat as she hits Atelier Jolie meetings with Pax and Zahara in NYC

Angelina Jolie was spotted in New York City bright and early on Monday morning. The Eternals star modeled a summer look with blonde ombre hair that was parted on the side and framed her face beautifully. And the ex-wife of Brad Pitt was dressed to impress in a crisp white trench coat with tailored black slacks and strappy white platform sandals. The Oscar-winning actress looked ready for business as she had a purple folder in her hand and also a booklet with a floorplan drawn on the back. She held onto a black YSL clutch purse. The Mr And Mrs Smith actress was not alone. The Los Angeles native was with two of her six children: Pax, 19, and Zahara, 18, who wore a Tupac Shakur T-shirt. The Maleficent actress, 48, has been in New York City to work on her new brand, Atelier Jolie, which will showcase artisans from around the world.Jolie has been wearing an ombre color in her hair for the past few weeks. The ends were a bright white blonde and the roots much darker as she seems to be growing out her highlights. The change in hair color may be for a new movie role. Her makeup was light and easy as she added oversized black cat-eye sunglasses and drop earrings. The beauty had manicured nails that were long and an off-white color with matching toe polish. She looked ready for a meeting and that is likely exactly what she was up to as she has been building up her Atelier Jolie brand in Manhattan. Jolie had leased 57 Great Jones Street in New York City. The building was once owned by Andy Warhol and was the last place Jean-Michel Basquiat lived and worked, from 1983 until his death in 1988. 'As soon as she walked through the space she fell in love with it,' John Roesch, the broker at Meridian Capital Group who represented the landlord said, per Curbed. He added: 'She made sure she got this deal.' And she plans to open Atelier Jolie in the space, which she calls a 'global family' of underrepresented tailors who exclusively work with upcycled items. 'We hope to create a community of creativity and inspiration, regardless of socio-economic background,' Jolie wrote on Atelier Jolie's website. It will be 'a place for creative people to collaborate with a skilled and diverse family of expert tailors.' It will also be, 'a place to have fun.' The property was on the market for $60,000 per month with a minimum lease term of 10 years - however, it is unclear whether that is how much Jolie will pay. The 6,600-square-foot building had been on the market since November.The realtor said Jolie was 'very hands-on' about closing the deal, and visited the space multiple times over six months. 'I would think you would usually have the team handle the whole thing, but she wanted to make sure she got the deal done,' Roesch said. And Jolie faced competition for the space from multiple people. However, in the end, 'we decided that Angelina's concept would be the best fit and use for the building,' Roesch said.
In June it was reported that she is partnering with Chloe. She has teamed up with the brand to create a womenswear capsule collection. The icon is working with the French luxury fashion house to create the sustainable Atelier Jolie range which has been co-designed by Angelina and Chloé's creative director Gabriela Hearst. Inspired by Angelina's own wardrobe, the collection is comprised of evening wear and will feature fluid silhouettes and tactile details, while offering a timeless aesthetic in line with Jolie's vision 'to create one-of-a-kind pieces that embody personal creativity and purpose'. The collection is inspired by the pair's mutual 'high ideals for the betterment of our species' and the Tomb Raider star is donating her earnings from the collaboration to invest in 'establishing apprenticeships for tailors and artisans at Atelier Jolie'.In a statement, Gabriela said: 'From the moment I heard about Angelina's vision for Atelier Jolie, I believed in it. It is a way to elevate others through the beauty of garment-making and her deep respect for the environment. 'It's an honour for me that Chloé will be the first collaborator for Atelier Jolie, as both have high ideals for the betterment of our species. That is the reason why I love both Angelina and Chloé so deeply.' Angelina added: 'Very few luxury brands are a certified B Corp. It was important to me to work with Chloé, one of the first luxury brands to be a B Corp. It has been a privilege to design with Gabriela Hearst, and I hope all women will feel comfortable and beautiful in this capsule collection. 'My earnings from this collaboration will be invested in establishing apprenticeships for tailors and artisans at Atelier Jolie.' Atelier Jolie will be available from this Autumn. In mid May she shared she is launching Atelier Jolie which will be a space for creative types in the design field. The star shared a look at her new logo over a copper background. 'I'm starting something new today—a collective where everyone can create,' wrote the mother of six. 'Atelier Jolie is a place for creative people to collaborate with a skilled and diverse family of expert tailors, pattern makers and artisans from around the world,' added the Eternals actress.And the former UN ambassador continued: 'It stems from my appreciation and deep respect for the many tailors and makers I've worked with over the years, a desire to make use of the high-quality vintage material and deadstock fabric already available, and also to be part of a movement to cultivate more self-expression.'
Deadstock fabric refers to rolls of fabric that are left unsold by a fabric mill or leftover from a brand's production run. Jolie ended with: 'I'm looking forward to growing this with you. More soon. Learn more at atelierjolie.com.' Her pal Priyanka Chopra added a red heart and fire emoji. On her website Jolie shared a signed note. 'Fashion is an art I've had the opportunity to play with over the years. I've designed clothes and learned about shapes with many of the best tailors,' wrote the Tomb Raider star. Designers often sketch or approve designs, but it is the tailors who make the difference, she noted. And that is who she 'truly loves creating with,' said the daughter of Jon Voight.Angelina added that these makers rarely receive the credit and respect they deserve. 'I am building a place for creative people to collaborate with a skilled and diverse family of expert tailors, pattern makers and artisans from around the world. A place to have fun. To create your own designs with freedom. To discover yourself,' she enthused. She added her company will use only leftover, quality vintage material and deadstock. 'You will be able to repair or upcycle pieces from your closet you wish to revive, perfecting fit, breathing new life into what could have been thrown away, and creating quality heirloom garments with personal meaning.'The red carpet darling then said: 'We hope to create a community of creativity and inspiration, regardless of socio-economic background. 'We will spotlight the people who play a part in each creation. We will bring together a diverse team, including apprenticeships for refugees and other talented, underappreciated groups, with positions of dignity based on skill. She then admitted that she is 'more of an artist than a businesswoman' before ending with: 'I hope to see you there, and to be one of the many creating with you within our new creative collective.' In late March, the Beverly Hills native filed for a global trademark under the name Atelier Jolie. A source told The Sun at the time that plans for the new company would include 'everything from custom-made jewelry to couture clothing and tailoring.' The insider added, 'She is a huge advocate for sustainable fashion and this is something the brand will have a major focus on. 'The plan is still very much in its infancy but the wheels are in motion,' the source noted. Jolie also apparently wasn't limited her new line to just clothing and jewelry, as it was said to include bedding and other household supplies. Jolie previously dipped her toes into the jewelry world with the launch of her Style of Jolie jewelry line more than a decade ago. It appears that last major release from the line was back in 2018. Although there is no indication yet of what kinds of fashion Atelier Jolie will focus on, though it's likely in good hands, as the Oscar winner has been a fashion icon going back to her buzzy red carpet appearances in the 1990s.
