Angelina Jolie Premieres Couture in Rome With Backless Gown Revealing Tattoos

The film’s breast cancer plot resonates with Jolie’s earlier disclosure of a BRCA1 mutation that led to preventive surgeries.

Overview

  • Jolie, 50, walked the Rome Film Festival red carpet on Oct. 18 at the Auditorium Parco Della Musica for the Couture premiere.
  • She wore a caped, backless black Alberta Ferretti dress with sheer stockings and stiletto ankle boots, showcasing extensive back tattoos.
  • Writer-director Alice Winocour joined Jolie at the event alongside co-stars Louis Garrel and Anyier Anei.
  • In the drama, Jolie plays Maxine, a filmmaker working on a Paris Fashion Week project who confronts a breast cancer diagnosis.
  • Coverage tied the role to Jolie’s prior preventive double mastectomy and oophorectomy after testing positive for the BRCA1 gene, with the film still awaiting a wide release date.
