Angelina Jolie Shines at Telluride Film Fest, Avoids Ex Brad Pitt’s Debut

Angelina Jolie made a stunning appearance at the Telluride Film Festival in Telluride, Colorado on Sunday, shortly after narrowly avoiding a run-in with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. At 49, the Tomb Raider actress showcased her elegance in a flowing grey dress with long sleeves, paired with pointed-toe heels. Completing her look, she accessorized with a pair of black sunglasses.

During the event, Angelina mingled with several celebrity friends, including actress Naomi Watts, 55. The mother-of-six, who recently became emotional over her ongoing divorce battle, was seen affectionate with Naomi’s small dog, which the actress carried in a baby wrap. Naomi opted for a casual chic appearance, donning a sleeveless white tank top and blue jeans.

Angelina also shared moments with actress Embeth Davidtz, 59, who chose a long-sleeve top, white pants, and white sneakers for the occasion. The gathering saw Angelina catching up with notable personalities like Pharrell Williams, Danielle Deadwyler, Malcolm Washington, and Pauletta Washington.

The star attended the festival to promote her latest film, “Maria,” where she portrays the legendary opera singer Maria Callas. Her visit to Telluride followed a close call with Brad Pitt in Venice, Italy. Jolie attended the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of “Maria” while Brad arrived days later for the premiere of his film “Wolfs” alongside his co-star and friend George Clooney.

Brad, 60, appeared at the Venice Film Festival with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, 34, marking their red-carpet debut. The couple has been dating for about two years. George Clooney attended the event with his wife, Amal Clooney, who wore a striking yellow dress. Ines dazzled in a white one-shoulder dress with ruched details, accessorized with a silver sequin handbag and statement earrings.

The former couple’s split has not been without drama. They are embroiled in a contentious battle over their French winery, Château Miraval, and the custody of their six children. Additionally, the logistics of the Venice Film Festival were orchestrated to avoid any chance of the two running into each other. According to Vanity Fair, artistic director Alberto Barbera revealed that Angelina’s schedule was planned so she would leave Venice before Brad’s arrival.

Brad’s relationship with Ines is noted as his first significant relationship since his divorce from Angelina. The former couple shares six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16. Recently, their daughter Shiloh legally dropped Brad’s surname amid the ongoing divorce saga.

The divorce and custody battles have taken a toll on their family. Both Angelina and Brad have expressed the emotional strain they’ve experienced. Angelina has spoken openly about the ‘despair’ and ‘pain’ she has endured. Meanwhile, reports indicate that Brad feels helpless as his son Pax continues to refuse contact with him.

Adding to the family’s recent challenges, Angelina’s son Pax was hospitalized after a serious bike accident in Los Angeles. Pax was treated in the ICU and is now on the path to recovery, supported by Angelina. A source shared that Brad feels divided and is frustrated by the lack of communication regarding his son’s health.

Despite the personal turmoil, Angelina remains dedicated to her career and public engagements. Her appearance at the Telluride Film Festival signifies her resilience and commitment to her work, even amidst trying times. Both Angelina and Brad appear to be finding their way forward, though the legacy of their partnership continues to impact their lives.
