Angelina Jolie Makes the Case For the All-Weather Trench Coat

Angelina Jolie may have found a, rather historic, location for her new fashion venture Atelier Jolie but she seems to be looking for a pad of her own in the Big Apple.

She wore a white version just a few weeks ago that she paired with another black midi dress and brought it out again for some apartment shopping with Pax and her daughter Zahara.
