Angelina Jolie attended the Turin Film Festival alone on Sunday after being accused of using red carpet outings with her and her ex Brad Pitt’s children to “get under their skin.”
The Oscar winner, 49, looked chic in a black sweater and figure-hugging skirt as she promoted her feature film Without Blood at the Italian event.
She completed the look with a pair of matching ballet flats and wore her long blonde hair loose over one shoulder.
Angelina wrote and directed the anti-war drama based on the novel by Italian author Alessandro Baricco.

It’s that she was accused of using red carpet outings with her and her ex Brad Pitt’s children to upset him (pictured with the couple’s 16-year-old son Knox last week).
Angelina and her son Knox Jolie-Pitt walking arm in arm at the Governors Awards was “strange” for Brad Pitt, according to inside sources who accused the actress of using outings with her children to “get under her ex-husband’s skin.”
Last week, the couple enjoyed a rare public mother-son date with the toast of Hollywood at the star-studded party at the Ray Dolby Ballroom.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, a source revealed that her ex-husband Brad found the timing of the exit “suspicious” amid their ongoing divorce battle.
“Brad only sees his kids when they walk down the carpet with their mom and the timing of this couldn’t be more suspicious considering it’s been decided that he and Angie are going to trial,” the source noted.
DailyMail.com revealed that the former couple They will face each other in court next year as their long legal battle or the so-called “Pink War” goes to trial.
The decision came after a judge recently denied the Wanted actress’ motion to dismiss her ex-husband’s lawsuit over her French vineyard.
The Chateau Miraval estate, which produces an award-winning sparkling rosé, is at the center of a long-running court battle between the couple.
Meanwhile, Angelina has also been accused of trying to drive a wedge between her ex-husband and their six children after their separation.

Angelina and her son Knox Jolie-Pitt walking arm in arm at the Governors Awards was “strange” for Brad Pitt, according to sources who accused the actress of using outings with her children to “get under her ex-husband’s skin.”
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, a source revealed that her ex-husband Brad found the timing of the exit “suspicious” amid their ongoing divorce battle (Brad pictured in September).
The source continued: ‘She’s trying to upset him after his recent victory and using Knox to do it is strange.
“Knox wants nothing to do with Hollywood and has no communication with Brad.”
The source added: “Of course, he’s upset that Angelina turned them against him.” She did this when they were all young and didn’t even have a chance to make a decision about him.
“He believes that, in time, his children will come back into his life.”
On the other hand, a source close to Angelina insisted that it was Knox’s decision to support her mother at the event.
“Knox decided to attend the awards with his mother and they had a nice mother-son evening,” the source noted.
“Their decision to attend together had nothing to do with Brad,” the source added.
Notably absent from Sunday’s outing were Knox’s siblings: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and Knox’s twin, Vivienne.
In May, court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court revealed that her own contractors informed a former bodyguard of the couple that Angelina was pressuring her children to avoid Pitt when she had custody of them.
Former British SAS soldier Tony Webb worked for the family for more than 20 years, starting in 2000, and claimed his colleague told him he overheard Angelina “encouraging the children to avoid spending time with Pitt during custody visits.”
Documents detailing the explosive claims were made public as part of the ongoing ‘War of the Roses’, with the A-list couple locked in a bitter battle over their rights to sell their vineyard and home in France.
Documents filed earlier this year revealed how her contractors told a former bodyguard that Angelina was pushing for her children to reject Brad when she had custody of them.
The source added: “Of course, he’s upset that Angelina turned them against him (the couple and their offspring appear in the 2011 photo).
The Tomb Raider star sold his $62 million stake to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler in 2021, which Brad said went against their agreement to offer the other the right of first refusal.
Angelina had recently filed motions to dismiss allegations Brad made against her in connection with a verbal agreement regarding 50-50 ownership of the vineyard.
She argued that the agreement had been voided after her ex asked her to sign a confidentiality agreement regarding their marriage, and both sides were apparently determined to throw everything at the case.
“It’s already been ugly, but it’s going to get even uglier as Angie is determined to retaliate against Brad and will try to settle more old personal scores,” a source close to the case told DailyMail.com.
And things will only get more expensive for both of them, as their legal disputes have already cost both parties millions.
Last week, DailyMail.com revealed that the former couple will face off in court next year as their long legal battle or the so-called ‘Pink War’ heads to trial.
In the latest twist to the acrimonious lawsuit, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lia Martin dismissed the motions, putting Brad firmly back in control of the dispute.
Court documents filed last week suggest that the judge found basis in Brad’s claims that their original oral agreement was binding, and that Jolie may have violated them when she sold her shares.
With the dismissal of all three lawsuits, the former power couple, who married at the Provence estate in southern France in 2014 and separated in 2016, will face each other in court in next year’s trial.
A source close to the actor told DailyMail.com: “This is a simple commercial dispute, but unfortunately, the other side has constantly introduced personal elements that have exposed weaknesses in their case and complicated and lengthened the proceedings.”
The Maleficent star will have 30 days to appeal the judge’s decision.
