Angelina Jolie:Sky-blue bikini set with sexy cut-outs

Even though Eternals star Angelina Jolie wasn’t able to attend ELLE’s Women in Hollywood event, her presence was still very much felt. The actress wisely chose to stay home after a possible exposure to COVID-19 yet still managed to share her sentiments about the strength and power of women, with a little help from this year’s host, Eva Longoria.

On Tuesday night at the Dolby Terrace at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, Longoria did double MC duty by reading Jolie’s speech in her stead. “I should do it really slow,” Longoria joked. “She talks really slow and deliberate.”

Jolie, a humanitarian and Special Envoy of the UNHCR, stressed that inequality in Hollywood, although inherently wrong, is small compared to the battles refugee women and girls fight every day to earn basic human rights. “To every young girl listening, know this: It is a gift to be a woman,” she wrote. “That others may choose to suggest it is in any way less only shows their fear of your power.”
