Angelina Jolie received support from her daughter Zahara while attending the 36th Palm Springs International Film Festival on Friday.
The Maria star, 49, looked in good spirits, after finalizing her bitter divorce from Brad Pitt, 61, as she smiled for the cameras at the Palm Springs Convention Center.
The actress, who was recently spotted for the first time since she and Pitt’s eight-year divorce battle concluded, made a stunning entrance in a floor-length, halter-neck black dress.
She accessorized with jewelry from Fred Leighton, including gold bezel- and hoop-set diamond drop earrings, and an oval diamond and ebony ring from Antonia Miletto.
The beauty, who will walk away $80 million richer after the divorce, completed her look with black pointed-toe heels and wore her long tresses in a straight style.
Meanwhile, Zahara, 19, who apparently dropped her famous father’s last name last year, looked chic in a sleeveless white lace dress.

Earlier on Friday, the Maleficent actress, who recently declared that she hates ‘liars’, flashed a cheerful smile as she made a grand arrival at the event for the screening of her critically acclaimed film, Maria.
Her appearance came just days after it was revealed that both she and Brad finalized their “horrible” divorce, although the former couple’s battle over their French vineyard is still ongoing.
During the festivities, Angelina, who “hopes Brad will stop attacking her,” was also honored with the Desert Palm Achievement Award for Best Actress.
The biographical drama María, which was directed by Pablo Larraín, officially launched on Netflix last month in December.
Jolie has since received praise for her portrayal of the late opera singer Maria Callas and received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama.
Angelina’s other five children were not present on Friday.
Jolie and Pitt, better known as ‘Brangelina’, share three biological children: Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16, as well as their adopted children Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, and Zahara .
Since their parents’ bitter separation, Zahara, Shiloh and Vivienne have dropped Pitt from their last name. It has been reported that Maddox and Pax do not speak to their father, while Knox and Vivienne are believed to still speak to the Fight Club star, although they have not been photographed with him in several years.

Angelina’s latest film, María, directed by Pablo Larraín, officially premiered on Netflix last month in December.
Their bitter custody battle over their six children ended when Angelina retained primary physical custody of her offspring. Brad was granted visitation rights.
The actor had originally sought a 50/50 deal in relation to his six children, but a source told DailyMail.com in March this year that he was no longer contesting the matter.
Court documents filed in 2018 showed that Brad paid Angelina, who has a promising new project scheduled for early 2025, at least $9 million in child support.
The children have also reportedly not had any contact with Brad’s wider family, including his parents William, 84, and Jane Pitt, 83.
“Brad Pitt’s parents have not been able to see their beloved grandchildren for around eight years amid the ongoing divorce and legal battle between Brad and Angelina,” a source previously told DailyMail.com.
Last week Jolie and Pitt reached an agreement in their divorce.
Eight years after Angelina filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences,” the former couple finally reached an agreement on the terms and both signed it.
A source told DailyMail.com that Brad, who met Angelina while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004, is “relieved to finally have this weight lifted off his shoulders.” He is no longer linked in any way to his marriage to Angelina. “She’s really tested him and he’s just glad this part is over.”
Angelina’s lawyer told DailyMail.com about the divorce: ‘More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr Pitt.
‘She and the children left all the property they had shared with Mr Pitt and since then she has focused on finding peace and healing for her family.
‘This is just one part of a long process that began eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she’s relieved this part is over.
Angelina filed for divorce from Brad in September 2016, after just two years of marriage.
It came just days after a trip on a private plane in which Angelina claimed Brad abused her and her six children, but authorities did not charge him after investigating.
They were declared legally single in 2019, but have fought over custody and legal issues over their French estate and winery, Château Miraval, since the split.
Brad and Angelina reached a settlement and signed divorce papers on Monday, December 30, but are still disputing their $62 million Chateau Miraval; Angelina and Brad seen in 2007

Brad has since entered into a serious relationship with Inés de Ramón, with whom he has been romantically linked since 2022.
Although they kept their relationship private, they have made several red carpet appearances together in recent months and Brad is said to be ‘in love’ with the 32-year-old beauty.
“Brad is very grateful to be able to put this all behind him as we start a new year,” the source tells DailyMail.com.
‘It’s true that he wants to take his relationship with Inés to the next level but they are in no rush to do so. “She is delighted for him and has been very supportive of him through all of this.”
