Angelina Jolie inspires a collection by Christian Louboutin

Angelina Jolie has more than talent under her belt! Her role in Maleficent seems to have rubbed off on her personality: she drew with Christian Louboutin shoes for charity inspired by the film.
One of Disney’s most successful movies this year was Maleficent. Featuring Angelina Jolie as the mischievous witch who casts a sleeping spell on the newborn Aurora, the movie has earned $ 736 million in revenue and Jolie embodied the character’s dark look even off screen.
As she hit the red carpet for worldwide premieres, she was always dressed in black, often teaming her elegant outfits with devilish-looking shoes like she did in Paris in May. What was not known, is that the Goodwill Ambassador of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees had helped design these now-famous wedges – all for a good cause.
Designed with Christian Louboutin, the “Malangeli” is available at approximately $1495 and profits from their sales will be donated to SOS Children’s Villages USA, the American branch of SOS Children’s Villages. This step seems logical, since the Jolie-Pitt Foundation is a major supporter of the NGO.
Another celebrity who is helping a good cause through fashion is Victoria Beckham, who has announced last week that she will be selling some of her iconic outfits through an online auction where proceedings go to mother2mother AIDS foundation.
