Angelina Jolie, known worldwide as a fashion icon and a successful actress in Hollywood, had humble beginnings before reaching stardom. She started her career by modelling clothes for Debenhams and Miss Selfridge, for a little-known British magazine. Her modelling pictures from that time, taken when she was just 18, were published under the title ‘Honeychild’ in Look magazine in 1993. These images have resurfaced recently and shed light on Jolie’s early career.
At the age of 18, Angelina Jolie kickstarted her career as a model for Debenhams and Miss Selfridge. She was featured in Look, a small British style magazine, where she was captured reaching for the sky on a beach.
The pictures of a youthful Jolie, taken when she was 18 and titled ‘Honeychild’, have resurfaced after being published in Look magazine in 1993. In the shots, Angelina can be seen squatting on the ground in the desert while wearing a headband. At the time, the actress was relatively unknown, with her name even misspelled as ‘Angelina Jolie’ instead of ‘Angelina Jolie’. After her mother Marcheline Bertrand suggested it, she signed with the Nina Blanchard agency for modelling opportunities while living in Los Angeles during her late teens. The pictures show her in two different settings: one where she is squatting on the desert floor, and another where she is kneeling on a beach and stretching her arms towards the sky. It remains unclear whether she agreed with the magazine’s statement that ‘beige is not boring – it encourages people to open up to you.’
Angelina was so obscure that her own first name was inaccurately spelled, with a ‘j’ instead of the intended ‘g’.

She later appeared in the road film Mojave Moon, which prompted a write-up in the Hollywood Reporter stating, “Jolie is an actress who truly captivates the camera.” Tomb Raider, where she played the role of Lara Croft, marked her ascent to being a major new star in Hollywood. Currently, Angelina is married to renowned actor Brad Pitt, and the couple has six children.
