Ever imagined what it would look like to get ready for a night out on the town with Angelina Jolie?
Well, you’re in for a treat, as the 44-year-old superstar actress invited ELLE to indulge in a sneak peek behind her hotel room doors. And you'll be happy to know that her go-to evening look is every bit as dark, mysterious and gloriously edgy as you’d have hoped.
In an exclusive video for ELLE UK, the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil star zips up a long-sleeved black dress and tightens a thick black studded waist belt, smoothing down its leather with perfectly-manicured talon-like nails.

A slick of nude-coloured lipstick, a pair of studded (are you sensing a theme here?) black heels, a silver hairband and a black clutch embellished with diamond-encrusted skulls – all Alexander McQueen – finish off the Maleficent-inspired look.
‘It’s hard for me, colour,’ Jolie told us.

Hours before we met in London, the actress walked the red carpet for her latest Disney film wearing a metallic silver Ralph & Russo dress with gold detailing – a stark contrast to the star’s preferred gothic colour palette.
‘I did have little spiders everywhere,’ she said of her outfit. ‘I went to a shade of grey.’
Jolie’s Maleficent co-star Elle Fanning concurred that the sartorial moment was a ‘big deal’ for the mother-of-six: ‘You’re weren’t in black!’
Earlier this month, the star wore a Versace one-shoulder draped black dress with a large spider brooch at the hip for the world premiere of her new film.
Unbeknown to onlookers at the time, the outfit featured see-through panels and a secret slit.
Speaking about her look, Jolie told to reporters she 'was just so comfortable.
‘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.'
