Angelina Jolie may be the unofficial poster girl for fashion’s rich mom aesthetic.
The internet trend is defined by a style of dressing that conveys wealth, elegance and sophistication — three things that Jolie, 49, has in spades.
The latest proof came on Monday, November 11, when Jolie stepped out in New York City for a screening of her forthcoming film Maria at the DGA Theater. She belted into her signature khaki trench, which was cinched at the waist, and the moment immediately recalled the hallmarks of a rich mom wardrobe with its sharp tailoring, impeccable craftsmanship and classic neutral hue.
Never mind what Jolie’s kids say about her go-to coat, which as the actor described to WSJ.

In the same interview, Jolie added that she doesn’t necessarily consider herself a fashion person (“I’ve never been to a fashion show or Met Ball my entire life”), and yet, she feels extremely pᴀssionate about her own label, Atelier Jolie, which she launched to support responsibly made fashion.
Even though her latest look may be considered a safe choice, there’s no denying the fact that it’s a responsible (and chic) addition to anyone’s fall wardrobe, rich moms included.
