Angelia Jolie is the epitome of class in a plunging gown while promoting biopic Maria in NYC

Angelina Jolie was the epitome of class as she promoted her upcoming biopic Maria in New York City on Tuesday.

The Maleficent actress, 49 – who recently gave a chic presentation at the Director’s Guild of America in the Big Apple – could be seen heading to a waiting car in a parking garage during the busy evening.

Maria – which already created Oscars buzz after the trailer’s release – will be released on Netflix later this year on December 11.

Jolie turned heads in a black, flowy dress with a plunging front neckline and a fitted waist.

The hem of the dress hid the shoes she chose to wear, and paired the look with a black, velvet scarf.

Angelina’s long locks were parted in the middle and partially pulled away from her face, allowing the tresses to fall down in light waves.

She completed the outfit with a pair of dangling silver earrings, a dainty silver chain necklace and a statement ring.

The star’s makeup was glamorous for the night and consisted of a coat of mascara on her lashes and a smoky shadow around her eyes.

A light blush was applied to her cheekbones for a radiant glow, while a nude, glossy shade was applied to her lips for the finishing touch.

Jolie smiled briefly as she was escorted through the lobby of what appeared to be a parking garage before heading to her next destination.

The actress has been busy during a press tour for the biographical psychological drama film based on the late opera singer Maria Callas.

She recently attended a screening of the project at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York on Monday.

During the event, Angelina crossed paths with fellow actress Candice Bergen during the festivities.

The Murphy Brown alum and Jolie were seen pausing for a memorable photo as they mingled together.

Candice was stylish in jeans, a blue blouse and a plaid sequin blazer, while Angelina stunned in a black velvet dress.

Maria was directed by Pablo Larrain – who is behind other projects such as Jackie (2016) and Spencer (2021).

Besides Jolie, other stars cast in the film include Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Haluk Bilginer and Kodi Smit-McPhee.

Three months earlier, in August, the biopic had its first premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where it competed for the Golden Lion.

The film will have a limited theatrical release in the United States starting November 27, before arriving on Netflix the following month on December 11.

The premise of the film is: ‘Maria Callas, the world’s greatest opera singer, lives the last days of her life in Paris in the 1970s, confronting her identity and life,’ according to one IMDB summary.

Last month, the official trailer for Maria was released, quickly creating Oscars buzz among fans.

During a recent interview with Entertainment weeklydirector Pablo Larrain recalled working with Angelina and shooting a specific scene that brought him to tears.

‘We did that on the last day of recording. We saved it until the very end. We had six to eight hours for that. I operated the camera, so I was always close to her.’

He said: ‘Angelina had to sing it out loud, with all her strength and humanity. By doing this, I was asking her to feel the emotion and feel how broken she was in this moment of joy.”

The filmmaker added that “a kind of mix of demands and emotions was something very difficult to do” and admitted that he “couldn’t believe how beautiful what was happening in front of the camera.”

‘I was in shock. I was moved to tears watching her burn herself to such an extent that I think that ends the film in an operatic way.”

“It will be a beautiful canvas of Maria’s life, someone who has found an operatic act in performance,” Larrain said.

While you’re talking to The Hollywood Reporter in August, Angelina talked about playing Callas and taking singing lessons for the film.

‘It took many months of singing lessons. Just singing for months and then the Italian lessons and then the voice and doing all these things like they do. You try to be precise,” she explained.

‘I would recommend almost anyone to take opera lessons. To exist and never have sung with your whole body as loudly as you could sing…’

Jolie continued, “I think we all have to feel it. It’s scary, and it’s rarely asked of us. We are rarely asked in life to be all we can be or feel all we feel.”

Two of her children, Maddox, 23, and Pax, 20 – who she shares with ex Brad Pitt – also helped produce.

“Mad and Pax were here. do AD [assistant directing] work. They’ve done that before and I think it’s good for them.’

‘Pax tends to do stills and he gets called in, and [director] Pablo was great and realized he was good at it,” she added.

Angelina also revealed the reason why she decided to step back from the camera – explaining that she didn’t need to be home with her kids as much.

‘They are a bit older and are becoming more independent. I am needed less and can therefore leave for different periods.’

She added, “And they’re old enough to work with me. It’s a new season in our lives. I think it’s great that they are coming into their own more and more every day.’
