Angelina Jolie arrives at JFK Airport with children Pax, 19, and Zahara, 18… after attending meetings for her new company Atelier Jolie in Manhattan
Angelina Jolie’s quick trip to New York City with her kids Pax, 19, and Zahara, 18, is over.
The trio arrived in the Big Apple on July 14 and headed back home to Los Angeles on Monday.
The Maleficent star, 48, looked chic and elegant in a black trench coat tied tightly around her slim waist over black trousers.
She slipped her feet into a pair of black pumps, carried a large brown bag on her back and put a pair of sunglasses on her famous face.
Zahara looked pretty in a red top and jeans with a black jacket, while Pax wore gray jeans and a white T-shirt and wore a black jacket as they made their way through the busy terminal.

While in New York City, she took meetings for her new Atelier Jolie brand, as she was seen carrying notebooks with blueprints on them for her new retail space.
A week ago, it was revealed that Jolie had rented 57 Great Jones Street in New York City.
Once owned by Andy Warhol, the building was the last place Jean-Michel Basquiat lived and worked from 1983 until his death in 1988.
“As soon as she walked through the space, she fell in love with it,” John Roesch, the realtor at Meridian Capital Group who represented the landlord, said by email. slowed down.
He added, “She made sure she got this deal.”
And she plans to open Atelier Jolie in the space, which she calls a “global family” of underrepresented tailors working exclusively with upcycled items.
“We hope to create a community of creativity and inspiration regardless of socio-economic background,” Jolie continued Studio Jolie‘s web site.
It will be “a place for creative people to collaborate with a skilled and diverse family of expert tailors.” It will also become ‘a place to have fun’.
The property was on the market for $60,000 a month with a 10-year minimum lease — though it’s unclear if that’s how much Jolie will pay.

The 6,600-square-foot building has been on the market since November.
The broker said Jolie was “very hands-on” about closing the deal and visited the space several times over six months.
“I would think that normally you would let the team handle the whole thing, but she wanted to make sure she got the deal done,” Roesch said.
And Jolie faced competition for space from several people. But in the end, “we decided that Angelina’s concept would be the best fit for the building,” Roesch said.
