She has reprised her anti-heroine role in the Maleficent sequel Mistress Of Evil.
Yet Angelina Jolie was worlds away from her famed evil character on Thursday as she put on an incredible display while touching down at the Japan premiere of the movie, held at the at Roppongi Hills Arena.
The stunning actress, 44, looked incredible in the fringed Ralph & Russo Couture gown as she strutted down the red carpet with her daughter Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt, 14, and son Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt, 18.
Angelina looked incredible in the silver dress which stood out boldly against the green backdrop, which was erected in a nod to her character.
The dazzling gown boasted tiers of frills which hung off her figure perfectly while the delicate neckline helped highlight her svelte limbs.
She allowed her brunette locks to fall in cascading lengths down her back while she slicked her famously plump pout with a taupe lipstick.
Proving to have inherited their mum’s sense of style, Zahara and Maddox looked trendy in all-black while supporting their family matriarch.
Disney beginners may not recall that Maleficent is the evil fairy in the classic 1959 animation Sleeping Beauty, and that Angelina played her in a 2014 live-action film.
Just five years on, Jolie is playing her again in Mistress Of Evil, still wearing black horns, fighting fairies and sorting out her conflicted maternal feelings towards sweet Princess Aurora (Fanning).
This time she has competition from the neighbouring Queen Ingrith (Michelle Pfeiffer) who causes a rift between our anti-heroine and Aurora, when her son Prince Phillip returns to the kingdom and proposes to the Princess.
Unbeknown to Aurora, Ingrith is plotting to use their marriage to divide humans and fairies forever, and it is up to Maleficent to try and stop the impending war.
Chiwetel Ejiofor joins the cast as the leader of an army of fairies just like Maleficent, while Harris will replace Brenton Thwaites as Prince Phillip.
The original 2014 film grossed a whopping $758million worldwide, and brought another success addition to Disney’s series of dark fairy tales.
The premiere comes after a source told UsWeekly last week that the actress felt ‘pressured’ into marrying her estranged husband Brad Pitt. ‘She felt that Brad pressured her,’ said the source.
Their wedding was small and intimate with only their six kids in attendance, though the photos were shared with the world through People.
Their split in 2016 was not amicable with the FBI involved over an alleged physical fight on a private jet. They resolved their custody issues this year.
The Oscar-winning actress has been married a total of three times: To Jonny Lee Miller (1996 until 1999), Billy Bob Thornton (2000 until 2003), then Pitt (2014 to 2016).
Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil will be released on October 18
