Angelina Jolie exuded elegance on Monday as she arrived at at JFK airport in New York City.
The Oscar-winning actress, 48, looked as classy as ever in a long black coat with a collar and adorned with gold buttons.
The humanitarian added a few extra inches of height to her frame with a pair of black high heels.
Angelina toted a large cream designer handbag and hid her face behind a pair of oversized aviator sunglasses.
Her brunette tresses were swept up in a chic updo to show off her dangly gold earrings.
Angelina was also spotted arriving at JFK last week, accompanied by her youngest daughter, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 15, whom she shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt.
Vivienne is one of six children Angelina shares with Brad, whom she split from in 2016 after two years of marriage and a decade together.
They’re also parents to Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and Vivienne’s twin brother Knox.
The former couple are still engaged in a custody battle over their minor children.
Angelina has been spending more time with Vivienne in recent weeks as the teen is now working for her mother as her assistant on a Broadway musical.
The A-lister is a lead producer on a musical adaptation of the 1983 film The Outsiders which starred Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze and Rob Lowe.
Not only is this her first Broadway involvement, but it is also the first time Angelina has worked on a project with Vivienne.
According to ET, Vivienne will serve as Angelina’s volunteer assistant and have direct involvement with the production.
‘Viv reminds me of my mother [Marcheline Bertrand] in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives,’ the actress said in a statement to the outlet.
‘She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.’
A source dished that Vivienne ‘loves musical theatre’ and that Angelina has been taking her to productions ‘since she was a little girl.’
The musical is based on S.E. Hinton’s novel and Francis Ford Coppola‘s 1983 coming-of-age crime drama.
That film starred a who’s who of young Hollywood at the time: Tom Cruise, Diane Lane, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, C Thomas Howell and Ralph Macchio.
The musical had its world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse earlier this year and a source told ET that Angelina and Vivienne ‘both fell in love with the musical’ when they saw it.
‘Angelina and Vivienne subsequently met with S.E. Hinton, who was around Vivienne’s age when she wrote the novel,’ the insider claimed.
‘As a result of seeing the show and the conversation with S.E. Hinton, Angelina was inspired to take a role as a lead producer for the upcoming launch on Broadway.’
The Broadway cast of The Outsiders and show dates have yet to be revealed.
In a statement earlier this month, Angelina said: ‘I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse.
‘I can’t begin to express how excited I am for this musical to make its Broadway debut and look forward to sharing this new adaptation of The Outsiders with the world.’
The synopsis for The Outsiders film reads: ‘A teen gang in rural Oklahoma, the Greasers are perpetually at odds with the Socials, a rival group.
‘When Greasers Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) and Johnny (Ralph Macchio) get into a brawl that ends in the death of a Social member, the boys are forced to go into hiding.
‘Soon Ponyboy and Johnny, along with the intense Dallas (Matt Dillon) and their other Greaser buddies, must contend with the consequences of their violent lives. While some Greasers try to achieve redemption, others meet tragic ends.’
The Outsiders musical features a story by Adam Rapp with Justin Levine, music and lyrics by Jonathan Clay, Zach Chance and Levine. It will be directed by Danya Taymor.
