Back in 2012, Angelina Jolie’s leg stole the show at the Oscars, sparking a viral meme after she struck a pose in a black Versace gown with a daring thigh-high slit. Thirteen years later, the 50-year-old actress has brought the moment back in style.
GettyOn Sunday, September 7, Jolie turned heads at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of her new film “Couture,” wearing a bold ensemble that instantly drew comparisons to her iconic red carpet look.

She left the buttons open at the waist, creating a makeshift slit that allowed her to strike her signature pose. With one leg peeking through the coat, she recreated the stance that made her a viral sensation more than a decade ago.

Jolie’s leg-baring look comes just days after she surprised fans with a dramatic new hairstyle. While filming “Anxious People” in London, she debuted an icy blonde bob wig, her lightest and shortest hair in years (as per photos by Page Six).
Although the bob was for her role, Jolie has been wearing her real hair in a lighter blonde shade throughout 2025, marking one of her most notable transformations in recent memory.
Her New Film “Couture”

“I feel like it’s such a personal film,” she said. “It felt so private that in my mind, it’s probably the one film that doesn’t feel like a film.”
Pairing a daring fashion moment with an emotional reflection on her work, Jolie reminded fans why she remains one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars, still commanding attention on the red carpet more than a decade after her iconic Oscars pose.
