Angelina Jolie must have a thing for Paris. After starring in Pablo Larraín’s Maria as opera legend Maria Callas, she’ll return to the city for an upcoming project, Couture. Set to be directed by Alice Winocour, the film is, as the name might suggest, a high fashion drama.

From plot details to cast updates, here’s everything to know about Couture, below.

What is the plot of Couture?

According to Variety, Couture is set “in the frenzy of Fashion Week” and follows “three women [who] cross paths in Paris, grappling with the world’s tragedies and the questions of their lives: American film director Maxine Walker (Jolie), South Sudanese model Ada, and French makeup artist Angèle working in the shadows of the catwalks.”

“In the form of intertwining destinies, Couture examines the souls and wounds of women’s bodies,” the project’s official synopsis reads.

Couture is Winocour’s first official English language directorial effort. It will be shot in English and French, similar to Winocour’s previous film, Proxima, which starred Eva Green and Sandra Hüller.

Who is in the cast of Couture?

Jolie, who leads the film as a film director, will team up with the model Anyier Anei (in her feature film debut) and Swiss actress Ella Rumpf. Of course, Jolie is no stranger to tapping into the fashion world with her acting roles. She played the supermodel Gia Carangi in the 1998 TV film Gia.

Does Couture have a release date?

Couture wrapped production in early 2025.
