At this point in her life, we’re used to seeing Angelina Jolie in just a few settings: on the red carpet, usually in the company of her kids; on the street, captured by the paparazzi; and in highly produced shoots, either for cover stories or ad campaigns. It was surprising, then, when a whole series of casual Instagrams featuring the Academy Award winner surfaced late last week. The Jolie pictured is neither glammed up nor doing her best to avoid a horde of photographers.
Of course, the reality was much more highbrow. Jolie was simply in full vacation mode while in the company of some of her most prominent artist pals. Having wrapped up the Paris portion of her Europe travels, she met up with JR, Prune Nourry, and Ai Weiwei in Venice, Italy. Jolie has been friendly with Ai for years, and long highlighted the Chinese dissident’s work raising awareness of the global refugee crisis.
