Angelina Jolie looked effortlessly chic as she visited the storefront for her new fashion brand, Atelier Jolie.

The actress, 48, was seen departing the shop in New York City with her children Zahara, 18, and Knox Jolie-Pitt, 15, on Tuesday.

She looked incredibly sophisticated in a black blazer worn over a matching top and smart trousers that skimmed over her heeled leather footwear.

The A-lister emerged from the shop with a sleek pair of sunglasses shielding her eyes and her honey brunette hair cascading down her head.

She commanded attention as she left the store with a smile on her face and hardly a stitch of makeup on her radiant complexion.

Angelina – who shares Zahara and Knox with ex-husband Brad Pitt – followed her daughter down the stairs before flashing a wide grin.

The Tomb Raider star launched Atelier Jolie earlier this year and in July announced her store would be opening at 57 Great Jones St. in New York City, a building closely connected to two late art legends.

The graffitied building was once owned by Andy Warhol and occupied by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Warhol purchased the building in 1970 and later rented the second floor to Basquiat, his friend and protégé.

‘A privilege to be in this space. We will do our best to respect and honor its artist legacy with community and creativity. Hope to see you there,’ Angelina posted to Instagram back in July.

‘Jean-Michel Basquiat’s sisters Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveauxex illuminate his contribution to the history of art at the exhibit King Pleasure,’ she added.

Accompanying the message was a video of her store’s name being spray painted onto the building as Angelina stood close by.

Speaking to Vogue of her fashion brand, she said back in September: ‘I don’t want to be a big fashion designer, I want to build a house for other people to become that.

‘I’m hoping to change many aspects of my life. And this is the forward-facing one.’

Angelina told the outlet that she hopes Atelier Jolie will inspire women to ‘feel safe enough’ to be ‘soft,’ something she herself has had a hard time doing.

Sometimes the way you dress says, “Don’t mess with me – I’ve got my armor on.” But I want a woman to feel safe enough that she can be soft,’ she continued.

‘After I went through something where I was hurt, I had a therapist ask if I would try wearing a flowing garment.

‘Sounds silly, but I assumed that pants and boots projected a “tougher” look, a stronger me.

‘Was I strong enough to be soft? At the time, no. I felt vulnerable. Now I wonder if… I don’t know what my style is because I’m still understanding who I am at 48.’
