Angelina Jolie goes barefoot for elegant TV interview appearance

Angelina Jolie relies on a few staples when it comes to her day-to-day uniform: a timeless slip dress, a sizeable leather tote bag, a sleek trench coat – nearly always styled with a pair of classic pumps. But, for her latest public appearance, a key part of that formula was notably missing.

The Maria star recently made an appearance on The Tonight Show, where she stepped onto the set looking as elegant as ever in a long black sleeveless dress, with an array of minimal gold jewellery (so far, so Angelina) — but with no shoes. Indeed, the actress' long-awaited return to late-night talk shows was done completely barefoot.

At the start of her interview with host Jimmy Fallon, Jolie addressed the elephant in the room. “I broke my toe yesterday, and I tried to find a comfortable shoe, but I just decided not to,” she explained.

Elsewhere in the interview, Jolie talked about her family, revealing why her children likely won’t be following in her Hollywood footsteps (barefoot or not) anytime soon.

“My kids, I think some of them [want to work] off-camera, behind the scenes, but they really, really want to be — especially Shiloh — would really like to be private,” she told Fallon. “Not photographed, not on the thing. [Shiloh] most of all would like privacy.”

She added, “[Fame] wasn’t their choice. Some people are more comfortable in public, some people are comfortable on talk shows, and some people are not.”

Jolie is a mother to six children, whom she shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt: Maddox, 23; Pax, 20; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; Knox, 16; and Vivienne, 16.
