No one wears Versace like Angelina Jolie, who commissioned Donatella to create her an otherworldly gown befitting the Rome premiere of Eternals. But it was not even this jaw-droppingly exquisite fashion moment that defined her blockbuster year promoting the superhero franchise. In fact, Angelina’s best look wasn’t even worn by the actor herself. She lent her daughter Zahara the shimmering Elie Saab couture dress she wore to the 2014 Oscars, which the teenager looked resplendent in some seven years on. As the year drew to a close, Jolie had reinvented herself as an archive-fluencer; an environmentally-conscious fashion plate with a penchant for vintage and the foresight to never throw clothing away.
