Angelina Jolie spent a day exploring Brooklyn solo during her recent birthday trip to New York City.
The movie star, who turned 46 on June 4, ventured out Thursday to Red Hook, a neighborhood known for its edgy independent art galleries.
And Jolie’s day in the borough also included a visit to her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller’s Dumbo apartment later that night.
The Oscar winner wore a long sheer white kaftan-style shirtdress with balloon sleeves over a white slip with spaghetti-straps. The shirtdress featured a button-down front and belted at the waist.
Jolie paired the breezy shirtdress that flowed to her ankles with a pair of nude pointed-toe flats.
She carried a beige and brown leather Louis Vuitton handbag that hung from a long strap on her shoulder. Angelina accessorized simply with a large gold wristwatch and sported a bright red manicure.
The raven-haired beauty’s long locks tumbled down her back as she walked down the sidewalk on her excursion.
Though masks are no longer required in New York City for people who have been fully vaccinated, the Maleficent actress covered her face with a space-themed black mask that depicted an astronaut floating in a star-filled galaxy.
Angelina visited a handful of small art galleries while she was in Red Hook. Though all six of the stunning actress’s children including sons Maddox, Pax, 17, and Knox, 12, as well as daughters Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and Vivienne, 12, she opted to go on her own to Brooklyn.
After the sun set, the Salt star was spotted arriving at Miller’s apartment building in the trendy Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn. In photos obtained by Page Six, she could be seen alone, unaccompanied by a bodyguard, and was carrying a bottle of expensive Peter Michael Wine.
The actress appeared to have changed into a white shirt and wide-legged pants ensemble which she wore under a long beige trench coat with tan sandals. She covered her face with a gray mask as she opened the door to the British actor’s building.
Jolie reportedly spent three hours inside before leaving at 10:30pm.
Jonny and Angelina fell in love when they starred in the 1995 thriller Hackers. At the time both actors were relatively unknown. After a whirlwind romance, Miller and Jolie, 22 and 20 respectively at the time, decided to get married,
‘We both proposed to each other and both had questions to ask,’ the Hollywood icon told The Mirror. ‘I wondered if we should stay engaged for a while since he was going to be in Britain and I would stay in LA. But we went for a quick wedding.’
They wed in a tiny civil ceremony in 1996 attended only by Angelina’s mother Marcheline Bertrand and Jonny’s best friend.
The groom wore black leather and in lieu of a wedding dress, Jolie donned black rubber pants and one of Jonny’s white shirts with his name written in her own blood across it. She told the New York Times, ‘It’s your husband. You’re about to marry him. You can sacrifice a little to make it really special.’
However she added that Jonny included a couple of traditional touches. Angelina said, ‘I had pants with a zipper that goes back to front. He stuck a veil on me at the last second and put a garter on the pants.’
However, the marriage was short-lived with the pair separating after only a year. Angelina told The Calgary Sun, ‘It’s not fair to the other person that I’m so busy with my career and that I’m often distant even when I am with someone.
‘Jonny and I never fought and we never hurt each other. I really wanted to be his wife. I really wanted to commit.
‘We were living side by side, but we had separate lives. I wanted more for him than I could give. He deserves more than I am prepared to give at this time in my life, but there is a very good possibility that we could get married again some time in the future.’
Jonny went on to marry actress Michele Hicks in 2008. He and Angelina stayed good friends over the years and he attended the premiere of her directorial debut, In The Land of Blood and Honey, in 2011.
Angelina was briefly married to actor Billy Bob Thornton before famously dating and later marrying Brad Pitt, with whom she shared her six kids.
However, both Jolie and Miller are now single, with his marriage to Hicks, with whom he shares a son, Buster, ending in 2018. The contentious dissolution of Angelina’s union with Brad has lasted for years.
Jolie, was left ‘bitterly disappointed’ last month when her ex husband was awarded joint custody of their children following a long and very nasty legal battle.
In late May, the court ruled that Brad and Angelina will have shared custody of all their children with the exception of Maddox, who is no longer a minor.
According to reports from US Weekly on Tuesday, the actress feels she can ‘never forgive’ Brad and believes their legal battle is ‘far from over’.
A source told the publication: ‘She will never forgive him… She maintains it’s far from over and still believes that justice will prevail.’
