Angelina Jolie’s Oscars dress made a reappearance.
Let it be said that Angelina Jolie is no fashion snob. While making her appearance at the red carpet premiere of Eternals—joined by her children—fans would’ve have recognised a very familiar red carpet dress in their midst. Daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt wore an Elie Saab dress that was last seen on her mother during the 2014 Oscars. With a fashion archive as extensive as Jolie’s, there’s no doubt that we’d see more of such passing down of clothes from mother to daughters in the future. And Zahara looked just as stunning the the dress as Jolie did back in the day too.

One of the concrete examples that the brand has implemented since 2020 include the use of lower impact materials, with the upcoming spring/summer 2022 collection consisting of 58 percent of such materials.

Genius.
