Angelina Jolie is back in action after having her preventative double mastectomy just a month ago! Angelina supported partner Brad Pitt by attending the premiere of his new movie, World War Z, and looked absolutely stunning in a black custom Saint Laurent gown. Angelina is no newbie when it comes to perfecting the black dress on the carpet — just watch on for all the details in today's Fashion Flash. On Allison: Zara top, Cameo pants, H&M belt.
Brad Pitt had fiancée Angelina Jolie, who wore a black Saint Laurent gown, on his arm to premiere World War Z in London on Sunday. He also had the support of his sons, Maddox and Pax, at the event. The premiere marks Angelina's first public appearance since announcing the news that she underwent surgery for a preventative double mastectomy last month. She stayed close to Brad for the red carpet festivities, which also brought out Matthew Bellamy and his Muse bandmates, who later took the stage for a live performance at the premiere. Brad has been busy promoting the film leading up to its release in the US on June 21, and yesterday he made a surprise appearance at a World War Z screening in London. Brad and Angelina are not the only stars currently in the UK since last night's Chime For Change benefit concert had Beyoncé Knowles, Jay-Z, Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez, and more sharing the stage at London's Twickenham Stadium.
Angelina stepped out in support of Brad on the heels of a sad occasion since her aunt Debbie Martin passed away after a battle with breast cancer last week. Angelina is still in the midst of preventative measures as she announced that she plans to have her ovaries removed as well due to the BRCA gene, which increases her risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
Natural beauty may come easily to Angelina Jolie, but the actress's fresh-faced beauty look at the premiere of World War Z is easy to mimic at home. The trick? Just stick to the basics.This look is so natural because Angelina has no signs of foundation or concealer on her face. For a similar effect, only apply foundation or concealer where needed and blend with a sponge for a natural finish.
For the rest of your look, be sure to fill in your brows. Angelina's brows are always shaped and bold, giving her a beautiful frame for the rest of her makeup. Opt for a dark brown eyeliner with a smudged taupe eye shadow and a subtle blush on the apples of your cheeks. For your lips, reach for a tinted pink lipstick, like Dior Beauty Rouge in Tulip Pink ($32). Apply the pigment with your fingers for a more natural, stain-like effect. Finish by setting your makeup with a mist like Shea Terra Organics Rose Water ($18) for a natural, dewy look.
Angelina Jolie has been lying low ever since she announced that she underwent a preventative double mastectomy earlier this month, but fans will soon get a chance to see her following her big news. New reports have surfaced that Angie will make her first post-mastectomy-announcement appearance at Brad Pitt's World War Z premiere in London on June 2. The couple often walk the red carpet together at their bigger premieres, so it should come as no surprise that Angelina will be supporting Brad and his new project.
The news of Angie's possible appearance in London comes just a few days after it was announced that her aunt, Debbie Martin, had passed away after a battle with breast cancer. Angelina has said that she decided to get her mastectomy — and also made plans to get her ovaries removed — after finding out that she carries the "faulty" BRCA gene, which greatly increases a woman's chance of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, passed away in 2007 after fighting a seven-year battle with ovarian cancer.
Angelina Jolie made headlines around the world when she announced last week that she had gotten a preventative double mastectomy earlier in the year, but her decision to wait to announce the news was surprising to some. Now, People magazine reveals why Angelina and her partner, Brad Pitt, decided to wait until almost a month after her final surgery to talk about her health crisis. A source told the magazine that Brad did "everything he could" to keep the surgery a secret, and that the two wanted to keep things low-key until she had fully healed. A family insider said, "They really wanted Angie to be able to recover and rest before they shared the story." According to the insider, the couple used early morning appointments and rental cars to avoid being discovered by the paparazzi.
Brad did a good job keeping Angie's health struggles a secret when he sat down for an interview with Esquire, which will hit newsstands later this month. However, Brad did go into detail about his love for Angelina, saying that she is "the best person." Aside from releasing a statement showing his support for Angelina, both Brad and Angie have laid low since the announcement. The two will most likely join up again on the red carpet when Brad hits the premiere circuit to promote his new film, World War Z, in June.
Angelina Jolie's cancer scare and decision to have a preventive double mastectomy has started a nationwide discussion about the importance of women's health care and cancer prevention.
