Angelina Jolie, known for her slim figure, made a striking impression on the red carpet in a gorgeous gown that showcased her beauty. However, fans quickly took note of her prominent veins, sparking comments and concerns about her appearance.
Jolie drew attention at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. The 49-year-old actress attended the red carpet on August 29 for the premiere of her new film, Maria, in which she portrays opera legend Maria Callas.
She donned a custom strapless beige gown by Tamara Ralph, accompanied by a fur stole that added a touch of winter elegance. The dress featured flowing drapery, a pleated skirt hem, and was highlighted by a gold rose brooch.
Her jewelry was minimal but striking, including a woven gold bracelet, matching ring, and a few gold and diamond earrings. She completed the look with bold red lips, glossy red nails, smoky eyes, and sleek blonde hair parted to the side for an effortlessly chic vibe.
Maria, directed by Pablo Larraín, is one of the standout films at this year’s Venice Film Festival. Before filming, Jolie expressed her sense of responsibility in portraying Maria Callas, saying, “Pablo Larraín is a director I’ve long admired. To be given the opportunity to tell more of Maria’s story with him, and with a script by Steven Knight, is a dream.”
Fans were quick to praise Jolie’s red carpet appearance on social media, with one admirer saying, “One of my favorite actresses. Beautiful as always. Can’t wait for the new movie ❤️” Another added, “Beauty is her name and so elegant.”
While her stunning look drew admiration, her forearms also attracted attention as people focused on the size of her veins. Comments such as, “What’s going on with her arms?” and “Why are her veins so big?” were shared online. Others noted, “Am I the only one who sees the veins?” and “Those arm veins are definitely NOT normal 🤯” Another added, “Those veins 😮😮.”
However, some defended her, with one user saying, “People have veins. Some will find anything to criticize. Do better.” Another wrote, “I have veins like that, and so do my kids. It’s hereditary, and we’re all healthy. People just love to hate.”
In a separate event on September 8, Jolie attended the world premiere of her latest directorial film, Without Blood, in Canada. She wore a stunning black silk Dolce & Gabbana gown with elegant ruching, finishing the look with elbow-length, opera-style silk gloves.
