There is an honesty to Angelina Jolie in the ELLE US June 2014 cover shoot that many people have come to expect from her over the years. Shot entirely in black and white, she is clad in an easy wardrobe of black pantsuits and leather skirts that is as unassuming as her direct stare and uninhibited smile. Although promoting her highly anticipated movie, 'Maleficent,' there is nothing terribly terrifying about her in the issue.
The ELLE US June 2014 cover shoot was lensed by photographer Hedi Slimane. In the accompanying article, the mother of six opens up about her deep relationship with fiance Brad Pitt, her thoughts on her children pursuing a career in showbiz as well as her younger 'rebellious' years finding a full voice.
