Angelina Jolie proved once again that she knows how to command a red carpet, stepping out at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival while striking a pose that gave fans serious déjà vu.
The box office sensation, 50, posed for photos on Sunday, September 7, in a tailored, chocolate brown trench-style coat dress that was slightly unbuttoned to recreate her viral leg-baring moment from over a decade ago at the 2012 Oscars.
Jolie arrived on the TIFF scene in honor of her powerful new film, Couture, for which she paired her sultry ensemble with sheer nylons, classic black stilettos, a signature smokey eye and a long, sleek balayage hairstyle.
Her outfit appeared to be a nod to the now-iconic Versace gown with a dramatic thigh-high slit that she wore to the 84th Academy Awards — an ensemble and pose that launched countless memes (and even its own X, formerly known as Twitter, account dubbed @AngiesRightLeg). She completed the famed look with a voluminous blowout and a bold red lip.
After hitting the red carpet at the 2012 event, Jolie’s leg made an encore appearance as she took the stage to hand out the Best Adapted Screenplay honors.
Jolie previously spoke out about her viral ensemble during a 2019 interview with Extra, revealing there’s a “whole longer story behind that.”
“I had a more complicated dress and I wore the more comfortable dress, which was that one, and I think I was just so comfortable that … I think when you feel comfortable, when you feel yourself — which is very much the theme of the film, and we know this in life — you embrace it,” she said at the premiere of her movie Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.
Jolie has since garnered positive reviews from critics after the debut of her latest project, Couture.
In the film, the actress stars as Maxine, an American film director hired to make a video for a Paris fashion event who finds out she has breast cancer while navigating the heartbreak of a divorce.
During a Q&A after the movie, Jolie got emotional as she spoke about her late mother Marcheline Betrand’s own battle with cancer. (Betrand died in 2007 at the age of 56 after an eight-year battle with breast and ovarian cancer.)
