The Hollywood actress stepped out in a fuss-free white sun dress – and proved why simplicity rules

Angelina Jolie has been our style muse all summer long. She recently made a case for why a great pair of pyjamas should not be confined to the home, and now she's convincing us to invest in a chic white dress.

The Hollywood actress was pictured this week, running errands with her son Knox Jolie-Pitt, wearing a super simple, stylish white wrap dress by Vince. She finished her look off with ivory woven Valentino Garavani sandals, a mini box shoulder bag by Dior, oversized sunglasses, and a pair of classic gold hoop earrings.

Jolie always keeps her styling very simple and fuss-free, and this summer-appropriate ensemble was no different.

The white summer dress is often praised for its versatility – and is one of our favourite summer staples, so it's no surprise that the always timeless Jolie has added one to her wardrobe.

Invest in the right one and you will hold onto it for years to come. A true forever piece, it can be worn just about anywhere, whether that's to the beach on holiday or as part of your summer workwear.

It can also be easily dressed up or down. Take style inspiration from Jolie and team with your go-to sandals and an everyday bag when you're running errands, or dress up your frock with strappy sandals and shimmering jewellery for the evening.

One thing we love about Jolie's style is that she knows the importance of finding your own aesthetic and investing in trend-free pieces that fit this, and are guaranteed to last. She does such a great job of this that some of her best pieces are now being passed down, with her daughters wearing her timeless wardrobe on the red carpet.
