Angelina Jolie stuns in Saint Laurent during her first appearance post double mastectomy
“Very grateful” are the words Hollywood’s leading lady Angelia Jolie used to describe how she was feeling during her first red carpet appearance since undergoing a widely publicized double-mastectomy. The brunette beauty, who announced the news of her preventative procedures to the New York Times on May 14th, described her happiness in seeing the discussion about women’s health expanded since sharing her story. The news has made waves all over the world, encouraging women everywhere to consider their options. FASHION contributor Amy Verner was inspired to share her own experiences with the suddenly “trending topic” in article for the Globe and Mail.
Jolie, who has six children with fiancée Brad Pitt, lost her own mother to ovarian cancer in 2007. When the actress learned that she carried the faulty gene that increased her chances of breast cancer to 87 percent, she chose to take action to minimize her risk. “Life comes with many challenges”, the actress wrote in her New York Times article, “The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.”
Jolie, who stunned in a black, floor-sweeping Saint Laurent gown, stayed close to her soon-to-be-hubby Brad Pitt on the carpet for the London premiere of his new movie World War Z. The sleek sleeveless gown had a sheer midriff cutout and a low-cut back showing off both the actress’ toned abs and collection of famous tattoos. The actress look healthy and happy in barely there makeup and loose wavy tresses.
Jolie wasn’t the only one there to support her man for the event. Two of the golden couple’s sons, Maddox and Pax accompanied mom and dad to the premiere. “I’m very, very grateful for all the support,” Jolie commented as she posed for photos and signed autographs for fans.
The actress’ latest red carpet appearance fell just a day after London’s Chime for Change concert, which was held to promote education, health and justice for women everywhere. Girl power all around!
