Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down and piece by piece reinvent the celebrity styles we crave today.
While I tend to gravitate towards bright colors and funky patterns when I get dressed each morning, Angelina Jolie’s latest style inspires me to get back to basics.
On June 23, the actress and director was spotted hailing a cab in New York City wearing a light, breezy “I’m already trying to recreate” outfit. She accessorized with a square-neck, spaghetti-strap white maxi dress, black boots, a brown leather shoulder bag, and black-rimmed sunglasses.
Maxi dresses have long been a popular choice among celebrities, with stars like Cindy Crawford and Demi Moore wearing them for everything from vacationing in Indonesia to attending the Cannes Film Festival. But Jolie’s casual version is perfect for hot summer days. Not only is her dress lightweight enough to withstand a muggy city commute, it’s also easy to dress up or down. Plus, her leather bag and black boots will never go out of style.

Abrabes spaghetti strap linen maxi dress
I’m always reaching for a cool maxi dress to wear in the sweltering heat, especially while commuting in New York City, and now that this spaghetti strap dress is on sale, I’m considering adding it to my closet. Available in 24 colors and patterns, including a versatile white shade similar to Jolie’s, the dress has garnered more than 1,700 five-star reviews from Amazon shoppers, who praise its “breathable” and “lightweight” fit.
“This dress fits me so well.” One critic wrote:“The adjustable straps are great and the length is perfect for me. It’s very airy and light, but the material is thicker and of higher quality. Perfect for a hot summer trip to the beach.”
Montana West Shoulder Bag
Celebrities can’t get enough of the classic shoulder bag, and Jolie is no exception. This $20 bag on Amazon, which resembles her roomy carryall, has been added to carts by over 400 shoppers in the past month.
We love that it’s larger than a crossbody bag, but still has the convenience of a long shoulder strap, and reviewers agree. One shopper said: “It’s not too big, and it’s just the right size to carry around,” Another user wrote “It’s perfect for carrying the essentials plus a few extra things.”
western cowboy boots
Jolie completed the look with black suede boots, but you could swap them out for black cowboy boots for a more summery vibe. The boots on Amazon have garnered thousands of perfect reviews for their “ultra-fashionable” look and “comfortable” fit, and they’re currently 25% off at $60.
“I wore these boots to a concert and they were super comfortable and cute.” One critic wrote:“I was worried that my feet would hurt after a while, but I didn’t experience any discomfort over time.”
