Angelina Jolie brings daughter Zahara and sons Maddox and Pax for a stylish appearance at Maria premiere during the New York Film Festival
Angelina Jolie was joined by three of her children at the premiere of her new film, Maria, during the 62nd New York Film Festival on Sunday.
The Tomb Raider star, 49, beamed on the red carpet at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall alongside daughter Zahara, 19, and sons Maddox, 23, and Pax, 20, who looked great after his hospitalization in July.
The actress wowed in an elegant white dress with a pleated skirt, which she paired with black peep-toe heels.
Her daughter matched her in a silky white dress. Maddox wore a classic black suit, while Pax wore a gray suit, as well as a black wrist brace.
Missing from action were her three younger children, Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 16, who she shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt, 60. The couple have been embroiled in a bitter divorce battle since their 2016 split.

Angelina’s blonde locks were parted at the side and flowed down her shoulders and back.
She added a pop of color to her look with a bold red lipstick. The star also wore dangling diamond earrings.
The doting mother held Pax’s hand and had her other arm around Zahara.
Pax smiled for the cameras while rocking his black sunglasses.
His appearance comes after the horrific e-bike accident he was involved in last July, which left him in hospital.
Angelina’s sons also worked in the AD department on the set of Maria – directed by Pablo Larraín – and she admitted that the work is good for them.
She told The Hollywood Reporter, “They’ve done that a few times, and I think that’s good for them. Pax tends to do stills and he gets brought in, and Pablo was great and realized he was good at it.”
The actress was also grateful that her sons supported her, because playing opera star Maria Callas was so emotionally draining.

She added, “It really meant a lot to have my boys with me at Maria. When I was having a really hard time, they would come by and just give me a hug or a cup of tea.’
“That was probably one of the most intense things: usually when I express that much pain, it’s not in front of my children. You really try to hide from your children how much pain and sadness you carry with you.’
“And so to be with you when you express it on such a level, I think it was the first time they ever heard me cry like that. That’s usually before the shower.’
The first trailer for Maria was released last week.
The film opens in the last days of the soprano’s life and looks back on all the triumphs and tragedies along the way.
Callas died of a heart attack at her home in Paris on September 16, 1977. She was 53.
Jolie said roles like Callas happen “once in a lifetime,” adding, “I mean, it’s definitely the most challenging.” Term reported.
To play the opera singer, Jolie spent seven months learning six of the late singer’s most famous arias.

And Jolie was also excited to work with director Pablo, saying: ‘This kind of work is not often asked of me. And if I’m asked, it’s not often with this kind of material and this director, so these things happen once in a lifetime.’
Her experience making the film “was beyond anything I could imagine, and it was a gift to me emotionally,” she said, adding that the role “changed me as a person.” It helped heal a part of me.”

It is considered a top awards season contender and premiered to an eight-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival.
Angelina is very close to her children and recently revealed that she and her daughter Vivienne, 16, were both coined the phrase ‘Stay Gold’ after working together on the Broadway play The Outsiders.
The movie star revealed the tattoos in an interview with CR Fashion Book – five months after her ink was first spotted – while walking through The Outsiders as they opened the red carpet.
“I got ‘Stay Gold’ with my daughter Viv during our time with The Outsiders. It means so much to us, separately and together,” Angelina told the outlet.
Vivienne chose to leave father Brad’s last name on the bill of The Outsiders and chose Vivienne Jolie.

In August, Angelina and Brad’s daughter Shiloh dropped her Pitt last name and legally changed her name to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie — formerly Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.
Her appearance with her children comes after she dropped her two-year legal battle against the Justice Department and FBI over documents related to abuse allegations against ex Brad.
Angelina and Brad started dating in 2004 and married ten years later, but split in 2016 and have since been embroiled in bitter child custody battles and property deals related to their French vineyard.
The exes were declared legally single in 2019.
Jolie had filed an anonymous lawsuit as “Jane Doe” with the FBI, which investigated an alleged altercation between the duo on a private jet in 2016.
She was seeking documents from the FBI about their investigation into the allegations and filed a Freedom of Information Act request in 2021.

Pitt was accused of pouring red wine and beer on his ex and one of the couple’s children on a private plane – claims he denies.
Details of the alleged incident first emerged in August 2022, when a freedom of information lawsuit became public.
Documents show Pitt allegedly strangled one of their children and punched another in the face. Jolie had also accused the Fight Club star of grabbing her by the head.
The allegations were investigated by the FBI, but no charges were filed.
