Angelina Jolie was seen for the first time since finalizing her bitter divorce battle with ex Brad Pitt while attending the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Friday.

The Maleficent actress, 49 – who walked away $80 million richer following her eight-year divorce from Pitt – flashed a cheerful smile as she made a grand arrival to the event for a screening of her critically acclaimed movie, Maria.

Her appearance comes just days after it was revealed both she and Brad finalized their ‘horrendous’ divorce – although the former couple’s battle of their French vineyard is still ongoing.

Jolie put on a chic display wearing a cream-colored blazer that was ʙuттoned at the front as well as a pair of matching trousers.

She added a plain shirt underneath and slipped into a pair of ɴuᴅᴇ-colored heels to complete the overall look.

Angelina’s long locks were parted to the side, and effortlessly flowed down straight past her shoulders.

The star opted for minimal accessories to allow her outfit to be the main focal point, and added a pair mini earrings.

While strolling outdoors, the Hollywood actress also sported a pair of black shades for a stylish flare.

Jolie paused for a brief pH๏τo session on the red carpet and also sent a friendly wave towards fans that waited outside the venue.

During the festivities, Angelina was also honored with the Desert Palm Achievement for Best Actress.

The biographical drama, Maria – which was directed by Pablo Larrain – officially dropped on Netflix last month in December.

Jolie has since garnered praise for her performance as the late opera singer, Maria Callas – and received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama.

While the star has continued to pursue her pᴀssion for acting, Angelina recently opened up about one of her secret talents: flying planes.

During an interview with W Magazine published on Friday, she discussed how her son Maddox, 23, is also a pilot.

Since a little child, he had an interest in planes – which had initially inspired the star to learn to fly. In December 2004, she got her piloting license and bought a Cirrus SR22-G2 single-engine plane.

While talking to the outlet, Jolie admitted that she was not ‘nervous’ about her son flying planes.

‘Maybe I just have a big family. I worry more that people aren’t finding themselves and something they love,’ she stated.

‘I think that’s more dangerous, to walk so tentatively through life that you don’t take a risk. You don’t wake up with pᴀssion. I think that’s scarier. I’d rather they be out there trying and failing than not pushing and being pᴀssionate.’

Angelina shares Maddox, as well as Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16, with ex Brad Pitt.

Maddox was also recently seen working on set of his mother’s new film, Sтιтches, in Paris last month in December.

It came shortly after DailyMail.com reported that he is working as the third ᴀssistant director on the movie.

He notably enrolled at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea – but has since been seen stepping his foot into the film industry.

Jolie is no stranger to collaborating with her children on her own projects, and recently worked with Maddox and Pax on the biopic Maria.
