Angelina Jolie Is Transporting Us Back to 2005 with Her Latest Maleficent Press Tour Look
Between Aaron Carter drama and Friends cast reunions, you could be forgiven for wondering aloud, “What year is it, again?” Angelina Jolie only added to our generational confusion on Monday when she arrived at a photocall for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil in Rome wearing an outfit we can imagine Lizzie McGuire gravitating toward.

Jolie wore the top with a pair of black trousers and matching ankle-strap pumps. Between the layering (reminiscent of the early-aughts dress-over-jeans craze), ruched front, and asymmetrical hem, we couldn’t help but feel that Jolie’s look belonged on a red carpet circa 2005.
