Angelina Jolie is thinking style for upcoming premieres

It’s been an eternity since we’ve seen Angelina Jolie. We last saw her in the People and Hello spreads with Brad Pitt, and the Jolie-Pitt kids to show us the new twins. Prior to that, we haven’t seen her since Cannes, and it feels like forever.

Now, on the one hand, I’m so glad that she’s been able to take a breather, and that she’s had some nice quiet time with her kids. It’s exhausting to be a mother and when you’re being a mother to twins on top of four other kids, it must be insanely hectic. Angelina deserves this time with her family – and with X17online reporting that Brad flew straight back to France ASAP, it seems he wants as much time with his family as possible (granted there are myriad rumors as to the “real” reason Brad hurried back, everything from jealousy to post-partum depression, but I truly think they just wanted to get back together again – they’re not used to being away from each other for very long!).

On the other hand, I miss seeing Angelina Jolie as much as any fan. It feels like forever since we saw her all glammed up on the red carpet at Cannes.

The good news is that we won’t have to wait much longer. Angelina Jolie has her press junket for Changeling later this month and the the actual premiere on October 4th.

Her stylist, Jen Rade spoke to People about how they’ve been talking about what she’ll wear for the events. Rade said it’s sometimes complicated on the phone with Angie because there are lots of kid noises in the background, but that she’s always got time to talk about it. She also said that she feels a bit of pressure to make sure Angelina looks good for her first appearance since the birth of Knox and Vivienne, but five years together have given her enough confidence to not worry too much.

As for whether there are any problems finding something perfect for her post-pregnancy, Rade said no – “Not really. She’s breastfeeding so the boobs are bigger, but no. It’s going to be fun. I’m looking forward to it.”

She also said that she’s a fantastic mother: “She loves it – or else she wouldn’t do it.”

I can’t wait to see what she wears! I also feel like this somehow puts the PPD rumors to rest. First of all, it ticks me off that people are splashing it across the tabloids like it’s something really rare, as though she’s a serial killer – a lot of women suffer from PPD and it isn’t anything to be ashamed of. However, if she was really going through a total downward spiral, I really don’t think she’d be busily planning her wardrobe for some public appearances. Honestly? If she had severe PPD she likely wouldn’t give a damn what she wore at all and would not be bothering to be on the phone with her stylist about it.

In other Angelina Jolie news, she sure looks gorgeous on the cover of Japan’s Elle magazine. Inside she says, “I have become a lot stronger than I used to be, although it is strange to say myselfI think I have become a better woman. I am maturing everyday.” She also refers to her life with her large family as manic (no kidding!) but also the best time of her life: “Even though everyday is really busy looking after the kids. I feel like I have found the calmest place in life. Brad and I have always wanted to live surrounded by children. If the children are happy then everything else is fine. What Brad and I always prioritize is the family’s future and we balance that with our work.”

If you get international magazines in your area, it’s the October issue.
