Angelina Jolie Attended Even With Lighter Hair
Angelina Jolie Attended Even With Lighter Hair
Recently, Angelina Jolie attended the 2013 Women in the World Gala along with plenty of other female celebrities. She arrived at the event without Brad Pitt, but she sported a diamond engagement ring from her fiancé. The goal of the event was to honor a 15 year-old girl shot last year in Pakistan for advocating equal opportunity education. By attending the event, Jolie also debuted something a little different on her body.
Jolie was on hand for the event to honor Malala Yousafzai, a 15-year-old girl who was shot in Pakistan last October for seeking equal-opportunity education in her country. Jolie has pledged $200,000 to a new fund in her name.
“There’s a lot you can learn from this little girl,” Jolie said during a brief appearance onstage. “This evening is the beginning. Vital Voices, Women in the World and I started the Malala Fund. It’s not a fund in her name, it’s hers and she’ll be in charge of it. So we believe this is a modest beginning for a big dream and we hope that you will join us.”
“The Taliban shot her at point-bank range in the head, and made her stronger,” Jolie said of Yousafzai, who survived the attack. “In a brutal attempt to silence her voice, it grew louder.”
Aside from the engagement ring, Jolie’s hair was a noticeably lighter shade of brown than normal. Jolie spoke on stage about the Pakistani girl, calling her a hero and talking about the fund set up in her name. Meryl Streep, Barbara Walters, and other celebrity women spoke at the event, too. Without a doubt, the event brought even more attention to the lack of equal opportunity education in Pakistan.
Angelina Jolie usually sports dark brown hair, and this lighter shade of brown was noticed immediately by just about everyone. Of course, her hair isn’t important at all in comparison to the ultimate goal of the 2013 Woman in the World Gala. During the event, the injured Pakistani girl spoke about how she will continue her fight for education rights in her home country.
