Neutral tones

Complimenting the neutral look, Angelina, 49, chose to polish off her look with brown pointed court heels with a large buckle on the toe.

Meanwhile, she also wore some oversized shades in true movie-star style, and her honey-hued tresses fell naturally over her shoulders.

Catch-up

Angelina was all smiles at the event as she joined fellow actors and creatives including fellow Academy Award-nominee Naomi Watts.

Naomi kept things casual in some baggy jeans and a white strapless top.

However, the main attraction of her ensemble was perhaps her furry friend who was being carried in her cross-body sling.

Angelina avoids run-in with Brad Pitt

Angelina left Venice, Italy, at the weekend and made her way back Stateside to attend the festival in Colorado.

Her departure from the Med was perhaps well-timed, given her ex-husband Brad Pitt made his appearance on Sunday evening at the European film festival alongside his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon .

Red carpet debut

Brad, 60, and Ines, 34, were all smiles as they appeared at the glitzy event promoting Brad's new film alongside close pal and fellow Hollywood heavyweight George Clooney, Wolfs.

A run-in with her ex-husband would perhaps be uncomfortable for Angelina given their ongoing court battle. She recently told Hollywood Reporter that the legal disputes mean she is currently residing in Los Angeles.

"I have to be here from a divorce. But as soon as [twins Vivienne and Knox] are 18, I'll be able to leave."

In the same chat, she was asked which "close friend" she would call in the middle of the night: "I don't really have those kinds of relationships," she stated. "Maybe it's losing your parent young. Maybe it's working."

She added: "Maybe it's being somebody who's been betrayed a lot.

"I don't have a lot of those warm, close relationships as much that I lean on. But I have a few, and a few is enough."

Angelina and Brad's legal battle over their divorce and shared assets has gone on for several years now, despite first filing in 2016 and being declared legally single in 2019.
