Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is not only back with her new movie at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), but she also recreated her iconic look, giving fans a big throwback. Attending the premiere of her latest film, Couture, the Oscar-winning actress brought back her legendary “leg pose” in a chic yet daring thigh-high slit coat look.
Angelina Jolie poses in thigh-high slit coat
Angelina Jolie grabbed all the attention at the TIFF premiere in a sophisticated chocolate brown, double-breasted coat dress. The satin-finish wool maxi coat, buttoned only at the waist, fell open to create a sleek, thigh-high slit. With nothing but sheer tights and elegant black pointed-toe stiletto heels underneath, the look was the epitome of chic, minimalist daring.
Many fans believe Angelina Jolie expertly channeled the same energy as her legendary 2012 Oscars appearance, where she famously posed in a black velvet Versace gown with an equally high slit. Now, for this 2025 TIFF moment, she once again playfully extended her leg through the opening, which got fans rallying up the throwback.
Social media broke out with comments like, “We are so back to 2013. Let the reign of Angelina Jolie’s leg resume.” Another quipped, “her leg… this diva.” Summing it up, another wrote, “Mother is Mothering.” She accessorized the timeless look with signature smoky eye makeup and a soft glam aesthetic.
Jolie attended the festival to promote her new film, Couture. She stars as Maxine Walker, a filmmaker traveling to Paris Fashion Week to shoot a short film about the lives of models and creatives behind the scenes. The drama explores ambition, desire, and the fragility of life, themes that Jolie admitted hit close to home.
A central theme of the film involves her character’s breast cancer diagnosis, a subject deeply personal to Jolie. In an interview with Variety, she revealed the project felt intensely private, noting, “It felt so private that in my mind, it’s probably the one film that doesn’t feel like a film.”
While Couture had its world premiere on September 7, a wider theatrical release date has yet to be announced.
