Angelina Jolie debuted a new curly hairdo at a screening of her new movie Maria, held during AFI Fest in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The 49-year-old is at the center of a hum of Oscar buzz ever since a new trailer dropped for the upcoming Netflix movie.
Maria, starring Angelina as the legendary opera singer Maria Callas during her final decline in Paris in the 1970s, was helmed by Jackie director Pablo Larrain.
At the latest event in service of her new movie, Angelina treated her fans to the sight of a fresh voluminous hairdo that brought back memories of the 1980s.
In stark contrast to the sleekly straight blonde locks she has sported at recent events, Angelina now has luxurious curls in a dark-to-lighter-brown color stream.
For Saturday night’s glamorous red carpet, the mother of six slid her willowy figure into a gold dress that dazzled as the lights hit it.
She then draped herself in an elegant black wrap with robe-like sleeves, bringing together an ensemble that would not have looked out of place on Callas herself.
Accentuating her unmistakable movie star figures with a slick of blood-red lipstick, she added a splash of glitz to the look with pearl earrings.
Her latest public appearance comes two days after a new trailer dropped for Maria, provoking a rapturous response from her fans.
‘Holy s**t I f**king can’t wait to see this movie!!! Seriously I know I’m going to be blown away by Angelina Jolie’s performance as Maria. The Oscar is coming for her,’ one X user predicted.
A third, who admitted they hadn’t even watched the trailer, joked they were already planning on ‘running the Angelina Jolie Oscar campaign.’
‘The Maria trailer is so beautiful. I’ve seen enough, give Angelina Jolie the Oscar already,’ a fourth tweeted.
Another X user even photoshopped a photo of Jolie beaming with joy as she held onto an Academy Award with a tweet reading: ‘Manifesting: Angelina Jolie Best Actress Oscar Winner.’
Maria, according to a synopsis, ‘follows the American-Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye.’
The film aims to ‘reimagines the legendary soprano in her final days as the diva reckons with her identity and life.’
She died in Paris in 1977 of a heart attack at age 53.
The highly anticipated movie will come out in theaters in November then stream on Netflix in December.
Netflix is set to release the film in U.S. theaters on November 27 before it debuts on the streaming platform on December 11.
Previously, the mom-of-six won an Oscar the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Lisa Rowe, a diagnosed sociopath, in the 1999 psychological thriller Girl, Interrupted.
In 2008, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Christine Collins in the mystery crime drama Changeling.
She lost, however, to French actress, Marion Cotillard, who won for her leading role in La Vie en Rose.
Throughout her career, Jolie has taken home a number of awards, including three Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and a Tony Award.
Jolie is halfway to EGOT status after winning her first Tony over the summer.
The EGOT is one of the most prestigious clubs in all of US showbiz and there are dozens of stars who are just one award from achieving the prestigious title.
The acronym stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards and is the designation given to people who have won all four of the major American performing awards.
Jolie just needs to earn an Emmy and Grammy in order to achieve the feat, which has only been earned by 21 people.
