Angelina Jolie cuts a glamorous figure in black suit and boots as she attends the London premiere of her film Maria

Angelina Jolie cut a glamorous figure as she attended the premiere of Maria at the 68th BFI London Film Festival at The Royal Festival Hall in London on Friday.

The actress, 49, showed off her sense of style as she arrived on the red carpet in a black blazer with matching trousers.

The film star also wore a matching low cut blouse while she added height to her frame with a pair of black boots.

Letting her blonde locks fall loose down her shoulders, Angelina complimented her outfit with a pair of gold drop earrings.

The Oscar-winning actress accentuated her natural beauty with a light palette of makeup.

Also at the BFI on Thursday was the premiere of the documentary film Twiggy about the life of the famous 1960s model.

Twiggy, whose real name is Lesley Lawson, attended the event in a fuchsia blazer and trousers paired with a white top.

She posed alongside the film's director Sadie Frost who opted for a black silk dress with a low cut neckline.

Angelina's film Maria follows the life of famed opera singer Maria Callas.

The film opens in the last days of the soprano's life and looks back on all the triumphs and tragedies along the way.

Callas died of a heart attack at her Paris home on September 16, 1977. She was 53.

Angelina said that roles like Callas come along 'once in a lifetime,' adding, 'I mean, it's certainly the most challenging,' Deadline reported.

To portray the opera singer, Angelina spent seven months learning six of the late singer's most famous arias.

Angelina was also excited to work with director Pablo Larraín saying, 'This kind of work is not asked of me very often. And if it's asked of me, it's not often with this kind of material and this director, so these things come once in a lifetime.'

Her experience making the film 'was beyond anything I could imagine, and it was a gift emotionally for me,' she said, adding that the role, 'changed me as a person. It helped heal a part of me.'

The Mr. and Mrs. Smith actress said it is hard to explain all the ways the role changed and healed her.

'It would be too personal to explain. But from that first day [on set] not being able to breathe and crying to singing at the top of my lungs at La Scala, Milan, those moments changed me.'

'Having the chance to combine my two most deep and personal passions, cinema and opera, has been a long-awaited dream,' Pablo Larraín said in a statement to Variety.

'To do this with Angelina, a supremely brave and curious artist, is a fascinating opportunity. A true gift.'

The Netflix film hits theaters in the U.S. on November 27 and debuts on the streamer on December 11.

It is considered to be a major awards season contender and premiered to an eight-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival.

Angelina is also serving as an executive producer of the musical adaptation of The Outsiders on Broadway and her daughter Vivienne, 16, worked as her assistant.
