Angelina Jolie was looking her best when she was spotted out in New York City on Thursday.

The 49-year-old actress, filmmaker and activist was covered up in an elegant black cashmere overcoat while heading out to take care of business around town.

The outing came just days after Angelina threw her support behind her 20-year-old daughter Zahara by attending her keynote speech at Women in Training Inc.’s brunch in Montgomery, Alabama, on Saturday.

Back in New York, the A-list star complemented her coat with a matching black dress.

It featured a high neckline of delicate lace, along with a long, lacy skirt that terminated just above her ankles.

Angelina stayed on the monochrome color scheme with a set of classic black pumps, and she added a touch of retro cool with large gold-frame aviator sunglᴀsses with only a modest tint.

She added a touch of luxury to her look with a large black Dior handbag dangling from her forearm.

She added some extra sparkle with tasteful studded earrings, and she let her highlighted brunette locks cascade fall down her shoulders and flutter in the breeze.

Angelina was back in the Northeast after taking a trip down to Alabama over the weekend to join her daughter Zahara.

The college student appeared to have been inspired by her mother’s work as a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, as the subject of her keynote speech was ‘period poverty.’

The term refers to situations in which women and girls have ‘insufficient access to menstrual products, education, and sanitation facilities’ according to the National Insтιтutes of Health. 

Zahara has been a student at Spelman College, a historically Black women’s liberal arts college, since the fall of 2022, and she joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority the following year.

In addition to Zahara, whom she adopted from Ethiopia in 2005, Jolie shares five other children with her ex-husband Brad Pitt.

She first adopted her son Maddox, 23, in 2002, and Pitt later adopted both children.

In addition to Zahara, Jolie also shares Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 16, with Pitt; seen with her kids in 2021  in London

In 2006, she gave birth to her daughter Shiloh, 18, and she and Pitt jointly adopted their son Pax, 21, the following year. 

They welcomed their final two children, the fraternal twins Knox and Vivienne, 16, in 2008. 

Angelina’s day in the Big Apple comes after she and Pitt finally ended their bitter, eight-year divorce battle, officially closing the chapter on one of Hollywood’s most high-profile breakups.

‘It’s hard for her to trust men after what she went through with Brad,’ a source told Us Weekly earlier this month. ‘She hasn’t sworn off men, but she’s not looking for anything serious right now.’

The insider added that the Malificent star ‘doesn’t think she’ll ever get over the trauma’ of her relationship with Pitt, reinforcing that ‘she’s not looking for love right now.’

Despite officially settling their divorce, it seems Jolie is prioritizing herself and her family over any new romantic prospects.

The source added that Jolie feels ‘fulfilled’ and is ‘content with her children and life.’

Last month, a different source close to Jolie described the divorce process as a nightmare for her and her family.

‘These last eight years have been such a horrendous time for her and her family,’ a different source told People.

A source close to Pitt, however, pushed back on Jolie’s claims, telling People, ‘Jolie has engaged in one-sided attacks for the past eight years, including a never-ending distortion of facts and projecting their own behavior onto others, causing tremendous collateral damage to those in and around the family.’

In December, Pitt and Jolie officially settled their divorce, bringing an end to a contentious legal fight that lasted over eight years.

However, one major sticking point remains unresolved — their $62 million dispute over the French château and vineyard they once co-owned.

Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, told DailyMail.com that the actress is relieved to have closed this chapter. 

‘Frankly, Angelina is exhausted,’ Simon said.

‘More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time, she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family,’ he added.

Following the split, Zahara, Shiloh, and Vivienne have reportedly dropped Pitt from their last name. 

‘It’s hard for her to trust men after what she went through with Brad,’ a source told Us Weekly earlier this month, adding, ‘She hasn’t sworn off men, but she’s not looking for anything serious right now’; (Jolie and Pitt in 2009)

While it’s believed that Knox and Vivienne still maintain some contact with their father, Maddox and Pax are said to be estranged.

Although their divorce has been finalized, the legal battle over Château Miraval, a celebrated French wine estate, remains contentious. 

Pitt has accused Jolie of selling her stake in the winery to the Stoli Group, known for its Stolichnaya vodka, without his consent.

Despite progress in their divorce proceedings, the vineyard dispute shows no signs of resolution. 

Sources told DailyMail.com that both parties are prepared to take the matter to a jury trial or pursue mediation if necessary.
