A classic dress, simple black clutch, pumps, and sweater in case it gets cold — Angelina Jolie [1]'s date night outfit [2] is practically a no-brainer, right? Well, sort of. There's something special about the star's LBD that takes her look to the next level, and it has everything to do with the cut.

When Angelina stepped out [3] in New York for dinner with her son Maddox, she wore a spaghetti strap design with a jagged neckline. She tied up her hair and let her shawl [4] fall around her shoulders, all to show off the cocktail number's standout detail. While her Christian Louboutin heels and diamond jewels elevated her ensemble, it was Angelina's dress that stole the spotlight.
