See Their Looks: Angelina Jolie Lights Up Maria Red Carpet with 3 of Her Kids at New York Film Festival

Angelina Joliebrought 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 sleeveless white gown. Zahara also wore a white dress, while Pax rocked a gray suit and gray tie and Maddox sported a black suit and a black tie.

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.”

Sunday’s glamorous look followed Jolie’s red carpet moment in Venice.

For the Aug. 29 Venice Film Festival premiere, the actress wore a custom strapless beige Tamara Ralph gown with a fur stole covering the sleeves, drapery along the silhouette and a pleated skirt hem. Her blonde hair was styled in a side-part look, which she paired with bold red lipstick and nails.
