She is a natural beauty and it seems elegance comes effortlessly to Angelina Jolie.

On Thursday, the actress was simply stunning as she arrived to the fourth annual Women in the World Summit at the David H. Koch Theater in New York.

Looking refreshed, the 37-year-old actress wore a flowing olive green frock, layered with a billowing black cape.

From drab to fab! Angelina Jolie showed off her enviable beauty as she attended the 4th Annual Women in the World Summit at the David H. Koch Theater on Thursday

Tasselled strings tied around her neckline to hold her dress in proper form, matching her cape which was also decorated with tassels.

Giving her some shape, the gown cinched at the waist, flowing past her ankles.

Her black peep-toe pumps peeked through, revealing her unpolished toe nails - just like her finger nails.

She barely needs makeup! The 37-year-old actress wore minimal makeup and still looked as lovely as ever

The Tomb Raider's sleek brunette tresses were styled straight with a slight curl at the bottom, leaving her locks looking glossy and full of bounce.

Angelina's skin appeared flawless, as she wore just a slick of eye make-up and a neutral gloss on her famously full lips.

Opting for minimal jewellery as well, the fiancee of Brad Pitt paired her ensemble with a couple of gold bangles on her delicate wrists.

As an avid philanthropist, the Women in the World Summit 2013 is extremely close to Jolie's heart.

The Women in the World Foundation was created to advance the lives of women and girls through powerful stories and solutions.

Encouraging others to give back, Angelina claimed that she will be donating $200,000 to the Malala Fund to raise education of girls in Pakistan, according to The Daily Beast.

Other celebrities to attend the event were Oscar-winner Meryl Streep, Ugly Betty's America Ferrera and fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg.

Has she had any work done? She looks very different.

She always manages to look elegant, even if a little odd in mostly long and dark clothes. I certainly admire her for her charitable work. It's a far cry from the strange person she used to be, wearing a vile of Billy Bob's blood around her neck in the old days.

''Powerful' women living in a civilisation created entirely by men. Everything they have, everything they eat, everything they use, the homes they live in, the cars they drive, the electricity, all invented or discovered by men. Still, let them have their little moment. Without men they would be living in caves looking for the wheel while making catty comments about the cavewoman next door. - The Doctor, England, United Kingdom, 5/4/2013 11:39' Oh dear someones been dumped recently

This isn't about what she is wearing. Grow up people and look at the bigger picture. She wasn't suppose to be dressed to the nines. She is doing good for the world..This has nothing to do with her personal life and style.
