The Maria star has been nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama and shares her daughter with ex-husband Brad Pitt. Angelina Jolie is making a significant return to acting, and she’s including her six children in the journey, with her eldest daughter joining her for the season’s first major awards event.

The 49-year-old actress graced the red carpet at the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, accompanied by her daughter Zahara Marley Jolie.

Zahara, now 19, has supported her mother at several events tied to Angelina’s latest film, Maria, which earned her a nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama.

Both mother and daughter donned nature-inspired outfits. Angelina wore a breathtaking gown adorned with crystal tendrils that wrapped around her, reminiscent of roots. The semi-sheer dress hugged her waist, and she paired it with her hair down and droplet earrings.

Zahara chose a white dress featuring a black pattern resembling tree branches, accented with small crystal embellishments. She completed her look with an elegant up-do.

Earlier in the week, Zahara also accompanied her mother to the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards, where they wore contrasting black and white dresses. Angelina was honored with the Desert Palm Achievement Award for her role in Maria and paid tribute to her six children in her acceptance speech.

“There was Maria, and there was Callas; Callas was loved, but Maria was often alone,” she said. “But I’m here today because when I leave this stage, I’m more myself thanks to you, Zahara, and your brothers and sisters. I love you.”

Angelina also discussed motherhood in an interview with W Magazine about portraying the opera diva and separating her personal life from the role. “I was very ‘in it’ during the filming,” she explained.

“I had seven months of singing lessons, Italian lessons, and opera training. Throughout the shoot, Pablo and the team treated me as a singer, which meant a lot. I had pianos with me wherever I went, along with my coaches and exercises, and every night I prepared for the next day’s performance.”

Angelina Jolie attends the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton on January 5, 2025, in Beverly Hills, California. She wore a stunning sequined gown with crystal tendrils.

“But I’m different because I’m a mother, so I could step away from a heavy day of work and focus on something else,” she added. Reflecting on motherhood, she revealed that her acting career was inspired by her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand.

“My mom pursued acting, but by the time she was 25, she was divorced with two kids and decided to dedicate herself to motherhood. She never made it feel like a sacrifice—she loved being a stay-at-home mom.”

“But she really wanted me to be an actress. I don’t remember choosing it; I just knew it made my mom happy. She was my manager, and we were a team. I always wanted to buy her a house and started paying the bills. After she passed away, acting became harder because I realized how much of it was for her.”
