Angelina Jolie Debuts New Bird Tattoo at the 2024 Tony Awards: See the Surprising Placement ArticlePure

Angelina Jolie debuted some fresh ink at the 2024 Tony Awards.

On Sunday, June 16, the 49-year-old actress and producer of The Outsiders walked the red carpet at Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater in New York City, where she wore a custom light-teal Atelier Versace velvet draped gown featuring a sweetheart neckline that showed off what appears to be a new tiny bird tattoo. The sparrow-like bird is in flight.

Jolie — whose tattoo wasn’t visible back in April, when she and daughter Vivienne attended the musical’s opening night — also wore a matching velvet shrug and coordinated with 15-year-old Vivienne, who is credited on The Outsiders Playbill as a producer assistant.

For Broadway’s biggest night, the teenager rocked a crisp white shirt under a teal vest, plus teal trousers and bow tie. She completed her look with Converse sneakers.

Jolie was nominated for co-producing the musical adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s 1967 book The Outsiders, which is up for 12 Tony Awards, including best musical. Danya Taymor took home the Tony for best direction of a musical.

During the evening, Jolie introduced a performance from the show’s company, which included renditions of the songs “Tulsa ’67” and “Grease Got a Hold.” The performance ended with the entire cast doing the rumble, an elaborate dance fight that takes place as the rain falls.

“[S. E.] Hinton wrote The Outsiders in high school, and half a century later, it still speaks to us. Society changes, but the experience of being an outsider is universal,” said Jolie. “To any young person, any person, feeling on the outside, you are not wrong to see what is unfair. You are not wrong to wish to find your own path.”

“As the cast raise their voices, I hope it inspires many of you watching to value yours, ” the actress and humanitarian said, concluding, “Please welcome the extraordinary company of The Outsiders.”

An adaptation of Hinton’s 1967 coming-of-age book, the Outsiders musical’s plot revolves around class conflicts between the working-class greasers and the affluent Socs. It mainly follows brothers Ponyboy, Darrel and Sodapop “Soda” Curtis and their group of friends some time after the death of the brothers’ parents.

As PEOPLE reported in August 2023, Vivienne inspired her mother to take on a lead producer role with The Outsiders after they attended the musical’s world premiere in California.

“She’ll correct me,” Jolie said of Vivienne’s aptitude as a theater producer at the show’s premiere in April. “She’ll say, ‘Didn’t you read the memo? We have to do this. We have to go through this.’ “

“She’s been a really tough assistant,” the Oscar winner added to PEOPLE at the time. “She takes it very, very seriously.”
