Young Angelina Jolie Unhindered by Fashion Disaster

Before anyone knew what Brangelina meant, before Angelina Jolie's celebrated humanitarian work, and even before she nabbed an Oscar for "Girl, Interrupted," there was just a 15-year-old girl posing for her first modeling shoot. Sure, she was the daughter of actor Jon Voight, but back then she was just plain Angelina Jolie.
Well, plain is never a word that really applies to Angie, and as these soon-to-be-auctioned pictures reveal, the 34-year-old actress was exceptionally gorgeous even as a teenager.

The black-and-white images are part of Original Vintage Glamour Photography, a collection of photographs that dealer Profiles in History will be auctioning off March 26 and 27.
Angelina's fashion snaps are expected to go for anywhere between $400-600. (In addition to photos of George Clooney and Greta Garbo, the collection also includes some shots of Marilyn Monroe as a teenybopper!)
The arresting collection of images show Angelina in a variety of early-'90s outfits, including cutoff denim shorts with uber-frayed edges, a leopard-print dress, and one get-up that pairs combat boots with an oversized bowler hat.

Perhaps the most interesting image, however, is the close-up shot of the 15-year-old Angie in a trim black dress. Even now, that pic could practically pass for Angelina in 2010 -- it's astounding to think how much her photogenic face has stayed the same over nearly 20 years.Of course, Angie did look like a kid at one point in her life. Pics of the 10-year-oldJon Voight to the Oscars in 1986 show her in a lacy white dress that boasted zealous amounts of '80s pouf around the shoulders.
Brangelina recently brought 8-year-old Maddox to the red carpet for the premiere of "Invictus." Maddox sported a fetching fedora and a dapper scarf while the family spoke with friend and iconic director Clint Eastwood.
It's nice to see Angelina is protecting Maddox from the fashion faux pas her father allowed her to make. Voight lost that night in 1986 to William Hurt for best supporting actor, but 14 years later, his daughter would carry off the Oscar for best supporting actress. And who knows, maybe in another decade, Maddox will take to the red carpet and collect some Academy Awards love? accompanying daddy
