Angelina Jolie is the perfect new face of Tom Ford Beauty
A film and fashion icon for the Runway Lip Color collection
September 5th, 2024
There is something magnetic about Angelina Jolie. It’s hard to define exactly that ineffable je ne sais quoi that makes her irresistible and has contributed to her becoming a cinema and fashion icon. Maybe it’s her extraordinary beauty, her talent, the grace with which she moves, her rebellious past, or the empathy she shows toward other human beings and the world. Raised among the Hollywood elite, she became famous as an actress in the '90s and early 2000s, starring in cult films like Girl, Interrupted, and later dedicating herself to directing and humanitarian work. While Gen Z, led by Gabbriette Bechtel and Amelia Gray Hamlin, is rediscovering her baddie look with trends like succubus chic, Jolie is looking to the future and is involved in many projects. She recently launched Atelier Jolie, her fashion brand, and was among the most admired celebrities at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. She arrived at the Lido to present Maria, Pablo Larraín’s film in which she portrays Maria Callas in her final days. For the occasion, she alternated between Dior, Saint Laurent, and Tamara Ralph outfits, paired with glamorous makeup by Tom Ford Beauty, the brand for which she has just been named ambassador.
Tom Ford Beauty presents Runway Lip Color
Angelina Jolie was chosen to embody the unique femininity, determination, and sensual essence of Runway Lip Color, Tom Ford’s new lipstick collection. It features 18 shades inspired by the runway, including 10 existing hues and 8 new ones, ranging from natural and nude tones to bold and vibrant colors like the bright amaranth red of 16 Scarlet Rouge, a brand bestseller also worn by Jolie in the ad campaign. What makes these lipsticks special is their ultra-creamy formula, a blend of camelina oil and pomegranate seed oil, and the hydrating complex with Limnanthes Alba and Tsubaki seed oils. Just one swipe gives the lips a luminous, satin finish.
The campaign with Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie is the star of the Runway Lip Color campaign, a series of shots paying homage to "feminine beauty and its power." Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott capture the star while she studies acting, as if portraying herself. On her lips, 16 Scarlet Rouge. The images seem like a cinematic tribute to feminine beauty, depicting a strong, confident woman who loves the camera, knows what she wants, and isn’t afraid to get it.
