On October 18th, 2025, acclaimed actress Angelina Jolie attended the red carpet premiere of her new film 'Couture' in Rome, Italy. The 50-year-old star turned heads in a caped backless gown that showcased her gigantic back tattoos, including a large tiger and Buddhist blessings.
Jolie's role in 'Couture' as a mother and filmmaker dealing with a divorce and breast cancer diagnosis hit close to home. In 2013, the Oscar winner underwent a preventive double mastectomy after testing positive for the BRCA1 gene, which significantly increased her risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Jolie's mother, aunt, and grandmother all passed away from the disease.
The actress found the filming process "quite healing" as she connected with the cast and crew, many of whom have also been impacted by cancer. "One in three people have cancer, and most everybody's been in a hospital room with somebody they've loved. Everybody on set has lost someone they've loved," Jolie shared.
Jolie's powerful performance in 'Couture' is sure to resonate with audiences as she continues to use her platform to raise awareness about cancer prevention and treatment.
