Angelina Jolie’s Golden Globes Style: Why She Chose Handmade Barollo Italy Heels

Angelina Jolie attended the 2018 Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills alongside her son Pax Jolie-Pitt, wearing a custom Atelier Versace gown that reflected the restrained, monochromatic red-carpet dressing dominating the late 2010s awards season.

Rather than relying on dramatic embellishment, the look focused on soft texture and elongated lines.

The ruched black chiffon silhouette, sheer sleeves, and feather-trimmed cuffs gave the gown movement without overwhelming Jolie’s understated styling, while Forevermark diamond drop earrings added a subtle contrast to the dark palette.

Although the Atelier Versace gown divided opinion at the time, the overall styling remained consistent with Jolie’s long-running preference for restrained eveningwear built around subtle craftsmanship rather than trend-driven statement accessories.

Her understated Barollo Italy heels reflected that approach perfectly. Handmade in the Riviera del Brenta near Venice — the region widely regarded as Italy’s luxury shoe capital — Barollo is known among stylists for bespoke, artisanal footwear defined by sculptural silhouettes and quiet elegance.

Founded by creative director Darren Smith, the label specializes in painstakingly made-to-order construction involving hundreds of hand-finished steps, making it a natural fit for Jolie’s preference for clean lines, controlled drama, and shoes that support a couture gown rather than compete with it.
