Angelina Jolie stunned as she attended the Broadway opening night of her musical, The Outsiders, on Thursday night after working as the executive producer.
The Oscar-winning actress, 48, who said she was ‘honoured’ to have worked on the production, looked incredible in a metallic gold gown teamed with a rust-hued cape.
Angelina is currently embroiled in a lawsuit with ex-husband Brad Pitt, 60, over their French vineyard, however she brushed off her woes to attend the event.
She was joined by daughter Vivienne, 15 at the premiere. The two notably have been working together on the project due to the teenager being interested in theatre. Vivienne first saw a production of the musical in San Diego.
Vivienne wore a stylish blue boiler suit for the event as she joined the cast and her mother on the red carpet.

In a statement last year, Jolie said that her daughter, ‘reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives.’
‘She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute,’ the actress continued.
‘I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse.’
‘I can’t begin to express how excited I am for this musical to make its Broadway debut and look forward to sharing this new adaptation of The Outsiders with the world.’
Angelina’s outing comes after her legal team said Brad Pitt was physically abusive to her before their 2016 row on a plane, in newly-filed legal documents linked to the former pair’s battle over their French winery.
Attorneys on Thursday for Jolie filed papers in a motion in Los Angeles County Superior Court, saying that Pitt had a history of being physically aggressive with Jolie before the well-documented September 14, 2016 row during a flight from Nice, France to L.A.
Pitt has denied all of the allegations of physical abuse, and was not charged amid an FBI probe into the incident; Dailymail.com has reached out to Pitt’s reps for comment on the story.
‘While Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well,’ Jolie’s legal team said in court docs about the ongoing legal proceedings.

A source close to the Maleficent actress said that Pitt declined to enter into counseling for domestic violence, and disregarded severe family problems by seeking partial custody of their six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15.
‘Pitt never came to this understanding and not only sought 50-50 custodial time – including with children with whom he had not had a stable relationship in years – but also sought sole custody if the children did not sufficiently bond with him,’ Jolie’s lawyers told the court in legal docs.
Jolie’s legal team said in their court filing Thursday that ‘despite this distressing request, Jolie still did not seek sole custody’ of the children.
‘Instead she advocated that the children’s wishes and needs be prioritized, based in part on what the children felt they could do, and for a custody plan formulated in the children’s best interest to heal.’
Jolie’s lawyer Paul Murphy told Dailymail.com in a statement that the information released in Thursday’s filing is revealing of why the Fight Club actor wanted Jolie to sign a non-disclosure agreement amid the parting.

‘Mr. Pitt refused to purchase Ms. Jolie’s interest when she would not be silenced by his NDA,’ Murphy said.
‘By refusing to buy her interest but then suing her, Mr. Pitt put directly at issue why that NDA was so important to him and what he hoped it would bury: his abuse of Ms. Jolie and their family. After eight months of delays, this motion asks the Court to force Mr. Pitt to finally produce that evidence.’
An insider close to the situation told Dailymail.com that the Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood actor has caused himself problems with his long-running litigation over the French winery.
‘Pitt is drawing all of this out of Angelina,’ the insider said. ‘She does not want to be here, she does not want to be raising any of these facts, and she is doing it only because Pitt’s lawsuit against her is forcing her to defend herself.’
The insider described the situation as ‘incredibly sad,’ adding that Jolie ‘just wishes’ Pitt ‘could move on and let her be.’

By prolonging the legal battle over the winery – which the former couple purchased in 2008 for $28.4 million – Pitt has left himself more exposed to further problematic allegations that could circulate through the court system, and subsequently, to the public, the insider said.
Pitt has since accused Jolie of being a ‘hypocrite’ due to claiming that he wanted her to sign an NDA to ‘control’ the actress amidst selling their French vineyard.
The actor’s lawyers informed the LA Superior Court on Friday that Jolie’s claims regarding the NDA was simply a cover to ‘rationalize’ betraying Brad, per TMZ. His legal team also claimed that Angelina had asked Pitt to sign an NDA months later.
Late last month in March, a source told DailyMail.com that the former couple’s years-long divorce battle had been nearing the end and were in final negotiatio
