Angelina Jolie drew attention at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday, appearing at the world premiere of Couture in a brown maxi coat with a thigh‑high split that revealed glossy tights and black stiletto heels. The 50‑year‑old actress greeted fans outside the Princess of Wales Theatre and later took the stage with her castmates.
Couture, directed by Alice Winocour, stars Jolie alongside Louis Garrel, Ella Rumpf and Garance Marillier. Jolie is credited as a producer on the film. Festival coverage noted she briefly paused filming on another project to attend the Toronto premiere.
Festival photographs show Jolie smiling and waving to onlookers before making a radiant entrance onstage. Observers described her as moved by the crowd’s reception as the evening moved through its scheduled program of premieres and tributes.
Outside of Couture, industry reports have linked Jolie to a new spy thriller, The Initiative, from director Doug Liman and writer F. Scott Frazier. The Hollywood Reporter described Jolie’s character, Bright, as a rogue master spy in a story pitched as a Training Day–style drama set in the world of espionage. Liman and Jolie previously worked together on the 2005 action comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Entertainment outlets also reported that Jolie is considering a change of residence. People reported that the actress is planning to put her historic Los Angeles home up for sale and is "eyeing several locations abroad," with a move reportedly timed around when her youngest children turn 18. Jolie shares twins Knox and Vivienne, 17, and four other children with her ex‑husband Brad Pitt. The two reached a settlement in their divorce in December 2024, concluding a legal dispute that lasted several years, People reported.
The Toronto festival featured a crowded slate on Sunday, with other premieres and presentations drawing notable names. Jason Bateman and Jude Law attended the premiere of Black Rabbit. Russell Crowe and Rami Malek presented the ensemble drama Nuremberg at Roy Thomson Hall, a film whose cast also includes James Vanderbilt, Michael Shannon, Leo Woodall, John Slattery and Richard E. Grant. Guillermo del Toro and Idris Elba were among those on the red carpet for the festival’s Tribute Awards, with del Toro presenting his Frankenstein adaptation and Elba appearing amid promotions for Kathryn Bigelow’s Thrilling A House of Dynamite.
Festival coverage also noted industry gatherings and parties, including an EW x People event attended by Tom Felton. DailyMail reported on Jolie’s appearance and said it reached out to her representatives for comment; no additional statement had been provided by publication time.
The Toronto International Film Festival continues with a mix of premieres, awards presentations and special events through the week, showcasing both established stars and emerging filmmakers amid the fall awards season run-up.
