She may be playing ‘Mistress of Evil’ in her new Disney epic, Maleficent, but Angelina Jolie proved she is the queen of chic as she attended a pH๏τocall in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The 38-year-old actress kept things simple but classy as she wore an A-line black mini dress with lace detailing.

With her famous beauty highlighted with a hint of make-up, the actress completed her ensemble with black Christina Louboutin shoes with curved horn heels reminiscent of her character’s two-horned appearance.

The shoes have been a staple feature as she promotes the film which is an ‘reimagining’ of the classic 1959 Disney cartoon film exploring the untold story of the iconic villain incorporating elements of the betrayal which turned her heart to stone.

Her brunette locks were styled into natural waves and she accesorised with a few small items of jewelry.

Her demure ensemble is a far cry from the more racy styles she used to wear when she was seen as the wild child of cinema.

And the actress revealed that it is only now that, as she releases her family friendly film, that she realised just how racy her movie history is.

Speaking to the MailOnline, she admitted: ‘I didn’t realise how many films I made that my kids can’t see until I did this!’

‘Now I realise which ones but yes it’s been so much fun to have something like this coming out where the kids are so excited and can come see it and they loved to be on set and they played in the fairy mound and they loved meeting Elle (Fanning) and Prince Charming and hanging out and Diaval.’

She added: ‘So it was like just sharing this play time, which is of course what I do for a living but when it comes down to this level and this world, you can really share it with your kids and it was the greatest.‘

Maleficent, which portrays the story of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the antagonist, is extra special for Angelina as it stars her daughter Vivienne as a young Aurora.

Speaking to the MailOnline about starring alongside one of her children, she shared: ‘It was great.

‘I only put her in the film because the other children her age would be scared of me because I looked quite scary dressed as Maleficent and in the scene little Aurora has to really want to be near me and be loving to me and I have to be quite mean.

‘So Vivienne and I practised it a few times. I was actually shocked at how well she did.’
