The 44 year old actress spoke to Extra, when she revealed that she was also wearing a black Versace dress to the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil premiere on Monday night.
When Extra’s Renee Bargh said she was looking for a slit, to see if she was mirroring that iconic dress, she explained why she wore that dress with the slit.

‘There’s a whole longer story behind that — I had a more complicated dress and I wore the more comfortable dress, which was that one,’ Jolie said.
She added that she, ‘was just so comfortable that… I think when you feel comfortable, when you feel yourself — which is very much the theme of the film, and we know this in life — you embrace it.’
‘And sometimes, maybe it appears to be a thing, I don’t know,’ Jolie added of the dress.

She added that the black Versace dress she wore to Monday night’s premiere had, ‘some panels that are see-through, so we have a secret slit, actually.’
Jolie arrived to the premiere with five of her six children, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 11.
Her oldest, Maddox, 18, is currently in college in South Korea, though Jolie added he’s flying to meet her in Japan.

‘He is flying to meet me in Japan, so I am two days away from my hug. He’s great, he’s solid, he’s fine, but I need it,’ Jolie added.
The actress recently said that she has recently ‘discovered herself,’ and when asked what she felt she re-discovered, she said she goes through stages with her kids.
‘When your kids are a certain age, you go through stages, and you want to make sure they’re safe and you want to make sure they understand certain values… and then you get to a place where you’ve done a lot of that and you feel that they’re good and you also want them to know joy, and it brings back a part of you that is fun and alive and silly,’ Jolie said.

She added that she has it, ‘in waves when they’re little,’ but added that, ‘when they’re older, they want to know you because they need to get through life and all the hardships in life, and they need how to weather those punches.’
‘And so you don’t just teach them how to survive it, you teach them how to thrive and manage it, so that takes a different level of spirit,’ she concluded.
Jolie’s new film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, which she co-stars in with Michelle Pfeiffer and Elle Fanning, hits theaters October 18.
