Ready for summer! Angelina Jolie models a sleeveless dress as she holds hands with daughter Zahara in NYC… weeks before her 48th birthday

Angelina Jolie looked ready for summer on Thursday afternoon outside the Greenwich Hotel in New York City.

The 47-year-old Oscar-winning actress looked elegant in a long white sleeveless dress with a V-neck line and stitching over the bodice.

The ex-wife of Brad Pitt – who announced Atelier Jolie the day before – also wore her hair down and carried a purse as she showed off her nifty platform sandals that looked built for comfort. Aviator sunglasses added a touch of Hollywood glamour.

Holding her hand was her daughter Zahara, an 18-year-old who attends Spelman College. Zahara is Jolie and Pitt’s eldest daughter whom they adopted from Ethiopia in 2005.

This sighting comes just three weeks before her 48th birthday which falls on June 4.

The ex of Val Kilmer shared a look at her new logo over a copper background.

‘I’m starting something new today—a collective where everyone can create,’ wrote the mother of six.

‘Atelier Jolie is a place for creative people to collaborate with a skilled and diverse family of expert tailors, pattern makers and artisans from around the world,’ added the Eternals actress.

And the former UN ambassador continued: ‘It stems from my appreciation and deep respect for the many tailors and makers I’ve worked with over the years, a desire to make use of the high-quality vintage material and deadstock fabric already available, and also to be part of a movement to cultivate more self-expression.’
