Angelina Jolie Revives Viral Leg Moment in Gabriela Hearst Trench at TIFF 2025
Angelina Jolie nodded to her viral Oscars leg moment in a Gabriela Hearst trench coat dress with thigh-high slit at TIFF 2025.
Angelina Jolie proved she still knows how to own a carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival 2025, revisiting one of her most iconic fashion moments with a sleek new twist.
The actress stepped out in a chocolate-brown silk trench coat by Gabriela Hearst, styled as a dress with a dramatic thigh-high slit. The detail instantly drew comparisons to her unforgettable 2012 Academy Awards look, when her bold stance in a black Versace gown turned her right leg into a pop culture phenomenon.
Unlike the campy Oscars moment, this version leaned into polished minimalism. The double-breasted coat featured sharp tailoring, shoulder epaulettes, and belted sleeve cuffs, while Jolie paired it with sheer nylons, black Christian Louboutin stilettos, and minimal jewelry. Her glossy, highlighted blowout completed the sophisticated yet sultry aesthetic.
The callback quickly lit up social media, reminding fans of the viral @AngiesRightLeg Twitter account and the wave of memes it inspired 13 years ago.
Beyond fashion nostalgia, Jolie is also in Toronto promoting “Couture”, her latest film exploring the intersection of style and cinema. Off-screen, she continues expanding Atelier Jolie, her sustainable fashion collective, which has championed upcycling and collaborations with artisans since its launch in 2023.
One thing is clear: whether on-screen or on the red carpet, Angelina Jolie still knows how to turn a look into a cultural moment.
