LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Angelina Jolie looked different as she appeared for the premiere of her recent movie ‘Maria’ in Los Angeles.

The biographical psychological drama movie features Jolie as opera singer Maria Callas.

During the premiere on Saturday, October 26, at the American Film Institute Festival, Jolie was seen rocking voluminous beachy curls instead of her usual straight hair, as per The Sun.

Jolie also spoke with PEOPLE about the film directed by Pablo Larrain, and the connection she feels with the late American-Greek soprano.

The 49-year-old actress shared, “I don't want to speak too much about it because it's too personal, but there's definitely a loneliness and a work ethic.”

“I may be many things, but I'm a very hard worker, right? I'm an imperfect person, but I work very hard and she does,” she added.

Angelina Jolie’s curly hairdo gets mixed reactions

Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie’s new style received a wide variety of reactions online with a person on Facebook commenting, “Stunning! Aging with CLASS. Beautiful.”

Another wrote, “She looks stunningly beautiful.”

But one user begged to differ stating, “She has not aged well.”

“This woman is looking old. All that manipulating and vengeance is taking its toll,” another agreed.

Someone else, however, mentioned, “Crazy how all people can comment — is that she is aging. We all ages. If she was full of fillers, people would be putting her down for that. What makes it worse, is a lot of the time it's other women putting down her looks. I hope we can move past this in our society. Aging is a gift. No one can remain the same.”

“I never liked her, but her hair looks fabulous,” a user added.

One more user commented, “She looks beautiful, and not plastic like the rest of Hollywood.”

“Love her grace and style always have always will. One of my daughter's middle names is Angelina the other one is Jolie,” a person shared.

“She is gorgeous any color any style,” an X user tweeted.



 



 

“She looks stunning!” another added.
