Angelina Jolie Scheduled to Appear at Governors Awards This Weekend! What Will She Wear?

All eyes on Angelina Jolie! We're getting oh-so-excited to see what the 38-year-old Oscar winner will wear Saturday night at the 5th Annual Governors Awards in Los Angeles. The Academy is presenting Jolie with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her dedication to humanitarian causes around the world. And although her efforts deserve plenty of praise and credit, many fans are curious to see what she will wear during her rare public appearance. Besides being spotted in Australia last month with her kids (and a mysterious ring on her left hand), Jolie has kept a relatively low profile as she directs the upcoming film, Unbroken. Plus, the proud mom has been recovering peacefully from her double mastectomy she endured earlier in the year. Jolie, however, has never been one to disappoint in the wardrobe department. Whether she's bonding with her kids at the aquarium or promoting her latest movie alongside Brad Pitt, the star always impresses fashion critics around the world . While we eagerly await her weekend look, let's take a look back at some of Jolie's best red carpet looks.

Angelina Jolie's Double Mastectomy: Surgeon Says Actress "Waited to Find the Perfect Timing

Angelina Jolie inspired countless women when she announced she had a preventative double mastectomy, and now her doctor is opening up about the 38-year-old star's bold decision. Dr. Kristi Funk of the Pink Lotus Center is featured on the cover of the September issue of Los Angeles magazine, in which she discusses Jolie's brave choice to share her story and the impact it had on the world. "She is intensely private, but she calculated the moment when she would be ready to reveal something so personal," Funk, who performed Angelina's surgery, says of the stunning star (as reported by People). She adds the mother of six "waited to find the perfect timing in her personal and professional life, but I think most importantly in her soul," before Brad Pitt's partner penned her op-ed for the New York Times. In the deeply personal piece, Jolie revealed she underwent a preventive double mastectomy in February after doctors discovered she carried the "'faulty' gene" BRCA1 and had roughly an 87 percent risk of contracting breast cancer. She also shared how she was told she has approximately a 50 percent risk (the actual number varies based on the individual) of developing ovarian cancer, and People later reported Angelina's plans to have her ovaries removed. In addition to discussing Angie's decision, Dr. Funk notes that breasts are a part of woman's identity, which is why Jolie—who has always been admired for her beauty—touched so many women who are struggling with the surgery. "When someone who is arguably the most beautiful woman in the world removes the part of her body that is symbolic of femininity and sexuality, you have to say, 'Why would she do that?'" Funk explains. Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, lost her battle to ovarian cancer in 2007 at the age of 56, and the mother of six wrote it's "reassuring" for her children to know they won't lose their mother to the disease. And while it was Angie's choice to go public with a very private part of her life, Dr. Funk says the inspirational star couldn't deny her inherent desire to help others. "She knew always that in her philanthropic core she couldn't keep this a secret and be who she is," Funk tells L.A. mag. "I feel great, I feel wonderful, and I'm very, very grateful for all the support," the actress told reporters at her first red carpet appearance post-surgery. "It's meant a lot to me." She added: "I've been very happy just to see the discussion about women's health expanded, and that means the world to me. And after losing my mom to these issues, I am very grateful for it. And I've been very moved by the support of people."

Angelina Jolie Admits She Scared Little Kids While in Costume for Maleficent

Angelina Jolie makes quite the Maleficent. So much so, the actress shares that while she was in costume, she scared little kids. While presenting a clip from the upcoming Disney movie at Saturday's D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calif., the actress admitted there was only one child who wasn't scared of her. According to People, Jolie told the crowd: "These little kids would visit the set, and I would think, 'Oh, I am a Disney character,' so I would go over to them, and say, 'Hi there.' They would just scream." Adding, "One little kid even said, 'Mommy, please make the mean witch stop talking to me.' " However, one little girl wasn't scared of Angelina's portrayal of Sleeping Beauty's nemesis—her daughter Vivienne, who plays young Sleeping Beauty in the movie. "Vivienne was the only 4-year-old who didn't scream when she saw me," the mother of six joked. Jolie, who donned her signature all-black look for the Expo, also revealed she's always had a liking for the dark villain. "Since I was a little girl, Maleficent was always my favorite. I was terrified of her, but I was so drawn to her," Jolie said. "She had this elegance and grace, and yet she was so cruel. Just wonderfully and deliciously cruel." Catch Jolie and her horns in Maleficent in theaters July 2, 2014.

Angelina Jolie and Son Pax Arrive at JFK Airport With Giant Stuffed Animal in Tow—See the Pic

Angelina Jolie and her son Pax arrived at JFK airport in NYC recently with a special (and familiar!) friend in tow. The actress and Brad Pitt's 9-year-old was snapped carrying a giant purple stuffed animal as they traveled together. Jolie, dressed in black pants, black shirt and sunglasses, walked alongside Pax through the airport as he carried his purple pal. Pax looked fashionable in tan pants, dark shirt and coat and fedora hat. This isn't the first time we've seen Pax with his fluffy friend. While landing down in South Korea for Pitt's World War Z premiere there the other week, Pax also held his stuffed animal close as they left the local airport. Nothing like a soft toy to make those long flight more comfortable!

Angelina Double Mastectomy: Natalie Portman's Doctor Father Praises Actress, Explains BRCA Gene

Many have spoken out in support of Angelina Jolie after the actress bravely revealed she underwent a preventive double mastectomy. And Natalie Portman's dad is no exception. Dr. Avner Hershlag, chief of the Center for Human Reproduction at North Shore LIJ and father to the Black Swan actress, tells E! News he has the utmost respect for Brad Pitt's other half and also shares his own medical insight as Jolie continues the preemptive cancer treatment. "I feel a lot of adulation towards her announcement," Hershlag tells E! News. "She is doing so much service for so many women. Imagine a woman who did not know she should be tested. She sees Angelina's announcement, gets tested today and finds out in a few weeks that she's positive for BRCA. The Angelina announcement could save her life." Which is exactly what the mother of six intended. Although Jolie has taken positive steps to keep herself cancer free, there's still the question of the disease potentially affecting her three biological children. "I feel a lot of adulation towards her announcement," Hershlag tells E! News. "She is doing so much service for so many women. Imagine a woman who did not know she should be tested. She sees Angelina's announcement, gets tested today and finds out in a few weeks that she's positive for BRCA. The Angelina announcement could save her life." Which is exactly what the mother of six intended. Although Jolie has taken positive steps to keep herself cancer free, there's still the question of the disease potentially affecting her three biological children. NEWS: How Brad and Angelina's kids helped make mom's recovery "fun" "There is a 50 percent chance to pass the gene on to your children…It's a statistical risk," Portman's father explains. "The genetics on kids is a big deal from an emotional point of view. When someone tests positive for the mutation it has an implication for the entire family. If someone's positive, their siblings should be tested. If they test negative, that means their children don't risk having the mutation." If upon testing, you do discover the genetic mutation, Hershlag insists having kids is not out of the question. "Women with the gene who are seeking to have children or want more children should go to fertility doctors and discuss doing IVF treatments," he says. "We can prevent women passing on the mutation to their children because we can identify the gene in the embryo…We can ensure only the embryos that test negative for the mutation are used for pregnancy." Jolie also shared her plans to remove her ovaries in order to drastically reduce her risk of ovarian cancer, and Hershlag suggests having your eggs frozen if you're concerned about doing the same. "If women are afraid of removing their ovaries, have your eggs frozen. You don't have to use them right away, if at all," he said before clarifying. "Everyone has the BRCA gene. But when someone is affected by it, it means they have a change in the gene, a mutation. There is a BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 mutation. Each of them comes along with an 80% breast cancer over your lifetime and over 30% chance of ovarian cancer." And just like that, thanks to Jolie's efforts, we're much more informed about our health

Angelina Jolie's Brother, James Haven, on Sister's Mastectomy: "She Makes a Difference in Our World"

In times of crisis, family is everything. Which is why it's no surprise that Angelina Jolie's brother James Haven is speaking out exclusively to E! about his sister's decision to have a double mastectomy. "There is no question Angelina makes a difference in our world by bringing awareness to so many causes," he tells E! in an exclusive statement. "Her compassion for humanity alone always makes me honored to call her my sister." In keeping with Jolie's legacy of service, James and Angelina are currently working on a film together called Court of Conscience. James is directing and Angelina is producing. The film is a huge priority for the siblings who want to make an impact on current laws about child advocacy and helping to change laws at a state and local level. Court of Conscience is clearly a labor of love for Haven, founder of the CoreCause Foundation, an organization whose sensibility clearly informs the film. "The fundamental belief of CoreCause is to focus on a preventative rather than recovery stand point. Most of the worlds crises are the effects of a 'core cause' that if addressed would solve the problem entirely."

She played an adventure-seeking heroine in Tomb Raider, but Angelina Jolie is making it perfectly clear who she thinks her real-life hero is. At the Women in the World Summit Thursday, the actress took the stage at Lincoln Center in New York City to honor Malala Yousafzai, the 15-year-old Pakistani student activist who was shot by the Taliban in October for advocating for equal-opportunity education in her country. The 37-year-old star also pledged to donate $200,000 to the new Malala Fund, which was established by Vital Voices to benefit girls' education. Jolie introduced Yousafzai, who appeared via video from Britain to talk about the new charity initiative. In her speech, the actress recounted the student's harrowing odyssey. "The Taliban shot her at point-bank range in the head, and made her stronger," Jolie said. "In a brutal attempt to silence her voice, it grew louder." "This is the happiest moment of my life," Yousafzai later said while announcing the fund via the video feed, per The Daily Beast. "If we can educate 40 girls, we can educate 40 million girls."
