It was the year 2000 and Angelina Jolie dazzled at the Oscars in a black dress. But we are not referring to that Atelier Versace dress with the opening on the right leg with which she became the theme of the night a few years later, and accompanied by Brad Pitt.
Angelina Jolie won the Oscar award
At that time, Angelina was accompanied by her brother James Haven to receive the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the film Girl Interrupted, in which she shared credits with Winona Ryder. In the early 2000s, Angelina was just becoming the superstar we know, and her choices when dressing for an awards show were riskier than what she makes today.
Angelina Jolie opted for a Versace dress
For the occasion, Angelina decided to wear a tight-fitting black dress with long sleeves and a round neck, signed by Versace. Her outfit was complemented with diamonds and long, straight black hair, as well as eyes with angular cat-eye lines. Her brother, James, dressed to match in a completely black look, although he decided to wear platinum hair, a common trend in those years.
The vibes of the dress were totally vampire, a perfect image for that dark time in which Angelina seemed to be attracted to characters like Lisa Rowe, a sociopath committed to a psychiatric hospital for eight years, and who had earned her the nomination. and later the victory in the 72nd edition of the Oscars. Her style was rebellious, but perfectly engineered to create a sense of media appeal to her that has endured throughout the years.
The actress attended the Oscars with her brother
However, the dress was only one of the aspects that generated a controversial environment that night of triumph for the then 24-year-old actress, as it was right at the after-party offered by Vanity Fair that the actress asserted: “I am very in love with myself. brother right now ”, before kissing him on the mouth.
A few years later, Angelina would assure a publication that what they had at that time, was simply a test of pure love. "We are best friends. And it wasn't a strange tongue kiss. It is very sad that something so pure and beautiful has become a circus, "said the actress.
On another occasion, and years later, her brother assured that it had been a kiss from her to congratulate her quickly, but that the image of her went around the world without the proper context. “I congratulated her on her win and gave her a quick kiss… it was something simple and beautiful,” James commented.
When it comes to that March 26, 2000, it is better to remember Angelina with that gothic look from head to toe that could well have served to audition in a horror movie or generate a little fear among the audience.
