Angelina, 47, “wanted to meet Paul after she and Shiloh enjoyed watching his play,” a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly, adding that the outing “was a friendly coffee and nothing more than that.”

, in an echo of a look she wore on the red carpet some 25 years ago. Historically, capes have always been used to make a bold sartorial statement—whether on or off the red carpet—as demonstrated by Jackie Kennedy’s all-white Oleg Cassini ensemble for her husband’s Inaugural Ball in 1961, or André Leon Talley’s theatrical look for the 2007 Met Gala. Fast forward to today, and Angelina Jolie has been spotted incorporating the cape into her elegant contemporary wardrobe. Out in New York City with her family, the 47-year-old Hollywood star wore a chic ensemble comprising a cream silk slip dress with thrown over the top.
