Nobody Did Stealth Wealth Dressing Better Than Angelina Jolie This Year

Skip to main content

This spring, stealth wealth emerged as one of the biggest and most polarising trends of 2023. Designers put forward clothes that were quietly luxurious, and fashion fans loved the idea of rocking natural tones and discreet silhouettes (it’s no wonder Phoebe Philo’s eponymous debut sold out in a matter of minutes).

Few, though, nailed the art of stealth wealth dressing as impeccably as Angelina Jolie. The actor has consistently stepped out in looks that whisper elegance this year. What her chic ensembles lack in bold colours or over-the-top finishes, they make up for in interesting fabrics, cuts, and killer accessories – see the giant Saint Laurent quilted tote she’s been carrying nonstop.

In August, she emerged in New York City wearing a white slip dress with an off-white blazer and nude pumps. Super sharp. Meanwhile, in September, she showed up at JFK airport in a double-breasted coat, dress trousers and stilettos – making the case for rocking black tie while catching a flight.

All of her ensembles are reserved, sure, but when you look a little closer, they read expensive – the proportions are just right.
