As we all wonder what Angelina Jolie will be wearing on the Oscar red carpet this year, I wanted to peek back at three of her past looks for the Academy Awards.
No one could ever possibly forget Angelina’s black Oscar dress with the long, darker hair and the dramatic make-up. While many referred to her look as “gothic” – and usually in a negative way – I actually really loved this. Maybe it’s because of my own goth days, but I found it to be a very striking look. Of course, she ended up with the best accessory an actress can hope for when she won the award for Supporting Actress for her role as the very crazy Lisa in Girl, Interrupted.
(I had always liked Angelina very much, ever since I saw her in Hackers which was an otherwise fairly bad movie, but Girl, Interrupted was what sealed it for me. Until that time, Winona Ryder had been my favorite actress and was the main reason I wanted to see the movie. Angelina ended up blowing everyone out of the water and from that time she took over the spot as my #1 favorite actress, and she hasn’t budged since.)
In 2001, Angelina surprised people when she arrived on the red carpet showing that she had decided to pass on the traditional gowns, going for a feminine white tuxedo look instead. I’m not a huge fan of pantsuits on the red carpet since I love seeing actresses in dresses that they would otherwise not be wearing, but this was so nicely fitted and it really made her stand out from the crowd. Not my favorite, but still a good one.
When Angelina hit the red carpet in 2004, she looked like a goddess in a shiny, white, low-cut gown and I thought that she looked amazing. Her hair was done just enough to let us see her gorgeous face and her make-up but it still looked natural. I think of all three Oscar looks, the white dress is my favorite overall.
Which was your favorite? What color do you think or hope she’ll wear this year? As I already mentioned, I’m hoping for a dark jewel tone, but it won’t be much longer to wait and see!

Sabretooth To Join Jolie’s Salt If you’ve been watching Fox’s new X-Men Origin: Wolverine trailers, then you’ve seen plenty of Liev Schreiber. He’s facing off against Hugh Jackman in the movie as Sabretooth. Next year, you may see him facing off against Angelina Jolie. Schreiber… not Sabretooth.
.
Moviehole reports that Liev is in talks to join the cast of Salt. In it, Angelina plays a CIA officer accused of being a Russian sleeper agent. She must elude capture long enough to prove her innocence.
.
What part Liev will play in the movie remains unknown, but MH insists it’s a “major” role.

i loved the last one. beautiful and elegant.
didn’t she presented an award that year?
ah! it’s so nice to look back at the past..
i’ve watched Girl, Interrupted and it’s really
the best! Lisa (angie) made me laugh and made me cry at the same time.. love it! she won an oscar in 2000 for this..
the first pic really depict how much young she is and how still in a naughty way she is.. haha! it’s those time when she’s still not so serious about life, no kids and no brad..
second pic is really cute! i love how she carries it.. love the color too!
the last pic is my favorite one.. she looks like a greek goddess who come down from mount olympus!! wow! sexy and vey classic..
for this year Oscar.. i hope she would really wear a RED gown! i love the color red and it would really stand out for her.. i like it to fit her body and like a greek style.. hehehe.. i do hope she would wear a red gown.. i’m really praying for that!
My comment is under mod.
I like the white dress Angie was wearing. Feminine and sexy but I’m hoping for this coming Sunday, Angie will wear something bright like red would be gorgeous.
It’s interesting to think that all three of those Oscar apperences were pre-Brad (well, they may have met by the last one, depending on when in 2004 MMS began filming), and the first two were pre-Maddox (actually, pre-kids period!) as well!
Anyway, she obviously looks younger in the first one (when she won for Girl, Interupted), but in the second one, she looks like a completely different person than she does now! By the way, I feel kind of silly for having to ask this, but…What year was it that she won for Girl, Interupted? I assume 2000 at the latest, as Sherry seems to have the pictures in chronological order.
All of that said, I can see a bit of her mom in her in the first picture. Also, the first and third pictures are proof that, as most of us have said repeteadly, Angie has always been on the thin side. :)
I agree with you Sherry…This is definitely an amazing dress. It was feminine and made her a stunning goddess
