Angelina Jolie brought her signature, minimalist approach to the classic little black dress for the red carpet premiere of her new film “Couture” at the San Sebastian International Film Festival on Sunday in San Sebastian, Spain.

The Oscar-winning “Girl, Interrupted” actress wore a sleek black maxidress with thin straps and a plunging V-shaped neckline. The dress featured a slightly structured bodice with a long, flowing skirt and included design elements like a cinched waist for added silhouette definition.

Forgoing statement accessories, Jolie opted for only a few delicate jewelry pieces, including a ring and a pair of earrings. Her brunette hair with blond highlights was styled with the viral side-part, among the hair trends to come out of September’s New York Fashion Week, and the Tom Ford Beauty ambassador‘s makeup included bold brows, lined eyes and a soft pink lip.

Jolie’s forthcoming film, directed by Alice Winocour, brings the world of “Couture” even closer to audiences. Chanel granted Winocour full access to the French luxury fashion house’s workshops, marking the first time a fictional feature film received such close proximity.

“Telling stories from female perspectives that haven’t been shared before is something I find really important — especially now, when women’s rights seem to be slipping everywhere,” Winocour told WWD.

Winocour immersed herself into the fashion world, spending two years putting together research in pre-production for the film and speaking with model bookers, makeup and beauty artists and more to delve further into the intricacies of fashion design. “With every project, I enjoy delving into a world that’s new to me and approaching it almost like a documentary,” Winocour said.

“Couture” follows Maxine, played by Jolie, a low-budget horror movie director who’s hired to shoot a short film for a French fashion house, only to discover during her trip that she has breast cancer. The film tracks her journey alongside a model and makeup artist.
