Monique Lhuillier’s Vision of Angelina Jolie’s wedding dress
Monique Lhuillier shares her thoughts on Angelina Jolie’s wedding dress The big news in Hollywood is the engagement of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who have been living together for more than seven years with their six kids (one their biological child and the rest adopted).

Earlier, Mohlala said she had initially wanted a Wang dress. ” I went to look at Vera Wang’s collection overseas, but I was not impressed.” Instead, she said, she “fell in love” with a dress at a boutique in Rosebank, Johannesburg. “I am glad I supported a local, black, female entrepreneur.
