In some of her images Angelina physically reminds me of the looks that were fashionable and deemed beautiful in Elizabethan society. She has fair skin and has previously had red hair, which in Elizabethan society was seen to be beautiful as it represented youth. She often wears a red lip, which after studying many Elizabethan portraits was also popular and, like the hair colour, represented youth and wealth.
Angelina has worked on numerous charitable campaigns which has seen her risk her own life and has helped to draw attention to problems within society and countries that may have once been over looked. She has selflessly adopted 3 children, one of which was after a trip with the UN to Cambodia. Like Queen Elizabeth I who was dedicated to her country, it appears Angelina is dedicated to numerous countries and organisations which to me draws parallel between them both. Queen Elizabeth I was also known to be a strong women. In 2013 it was revealed that Angelina Jolie had undergone a double mastectomy as a preventative measure against breast cancer, to me this was a strong and admirable decision. She then went on to write an article in the New York Times about her decision in the hope that it would help other women if they ever found themselves in the same position. To me this selflessness strength and passion makes Angelina Jolie the New Elizabethan.
