Angelina Jolie showcased her understated style as she arrived at JFK airport in New York Friday with her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne ahead of the Tony Awards.
The actress, 49 — who has been battling in court with her ex and children’s father Brad Pitt, 60, over their Chateau Miraval winery — looked fashionable in a black jacket over a white blouse with a matching long black skirt.
The Eternals star wore black boots as she loaded her luggage into the trunk of a black chauffeured SUV.
Angelina kept her accessories simple, donning dark sunglasses and a thin belt, along with some small gold earrings.
The Oscar winner’s long, dark hair was styled straight and she wore natural looking makeup with a soft peach lip.
Vivienne, who is one of Angelina’s six children with Brad Pitt, kept close to her A-list mom as they prepared to head from the airport to the hotel.
The teen seemed to follow her mother’s low key example, wearing a beige T-shirt with high waist white jeans and sneakers.
The mother-daughter duo have a big weekend ahead of them as The Outsiders, the musical they produced based on the popular SE Hinton novel, are up for several awards at Sunday’s Tonys.
The musical focuses on a group of 1960s teens in Tulsa, OK who fight for survival and a sense of purpose.
The show received 12 Tony nominations, including Best New Musical.
Vivienne joined the production as a volunteer assistant and her mother later joined the project as a producer.
‘There are those artists that think about themselves and there are those artist that are just rooting for everybody else, [Vivienne’s] that one,’ the proud mama told AP. ‘She’s the one that just roots for everybody and so it’s nice.’
And while speaking to Deadline earlier this month, Jolie recalled how both she and Vivienne became involved in the Broadway production. ‘My daughter Viv loves theater.’
‘She appreciates all theater but she certainly knows what she feels close to and what she responds to. She went to see The Outsiders at La Jolla about five times and was telling me about it, and I had read the book, and I’d seen the film years ago.’
Angelina then saw the project with her daughter and noted that effect that it had on Vivienne, adding, ‘…I was learning what about it was important to her and why it connected so deeply to her.’
The mother daughter duo were soon contacted by producers and were asked to share their thoughts on the production. ‘So Viv and I sat together and we wrote down what we liked, what we were curious about.’
‘And they responded to our notes. For me, it was a moment to learn more about Viv, not me thinking of becoming a producer.’
The actress added, ‘I think at some point, it just felt the team seemed to feel that we were adding to it, so I really wanted to just be a support and listen and share my thoughts where useful.’
‘Most of the time, I was simply just listening. I have so much respect for Danya and her work,’ she said, referencing to director Danya Taymor.
And as a director I learned so much watching her, how she makes sure the artists who were doing such special work were heard and supported.’
Jolie revealed that her daughter was ‘there the whole time’ and Taymor also applauded the teen for ‘giving me the most amazing notes.’
Jolie will be a presenter at Sunday’s ceremony along with Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo and The Who’s Pete Townshend.
The Tonys are scheduled to air live on CBS and Paramount+ at 8pm Eastern Time on Sunday.
