Angelina Jolie brought glamour — and three of her six kids — to the New York Film Festival.
For the festival’s premiere of Maria on Sunday, Sept. 29, at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, the Oscar winner walked the red carpet with three of her children — Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and Maddox, 23 — while wearing a white vintage Madame Grès gown sourced from Mon Vintage in Paris paired with Cartier jewels and Aquazzura heels.
Zahara wore a white YSL dress with Tom Ford heels, while Pax rocked a gray Dior suit and Maddox sported a black YSL suit.
In the biopic, Jolie, 49, transforms into the late opera singer Maria Callas, and prior to Sunday’s carpet, the mom of six was riding high from Maria garnering strong reviews as well as earning standing ovations at the Venice Film Festival, where Jolie cried, and the Telluride Film Festival.
To prepare for Maria, which is in select theaters on Nov. 27 and on Netflix on Dec. 11, Jolie spent months working on her singing voice — and even got some much-needed help from her sons to calm her nerves.

“I was terribly nervous; I spent almost seven months training,” Jolie recalled at a press conference in August. “My first time singing, I remember being so nervous. My sons were there and they helped to block the door [so] that nobody else was coming in, and I was shaky.”

Directed by Pablo Larraín — who also brought to life Jackie about Jacqueline Kennedy and Spencer about Princess Diana — Maria details the singer’s acclaimed life before her fatal heart attack at age 53.

“Set in Paris, September 1977, during the final week of her life, Maria follows the legendary soprano as she negotiates her public image and private self and reckons with the increasingly blurred boundaries between the venerated ‘La Divina’ and the vulnerable human being Maria,” a synopsis of the film says on the New York Film Festival site, which adds that the film is “punctuated by grand operatic interludes.”
