Unlike Angelina, who has kept a low profile in her romantic life since her divorce from Brad Pitt in 2019, her ex-husband’s dating life has been more public. His girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, has been turning heads with her effortlessly chic style and sleek, repeat outfits.
She recently caused a stir while running errands in Los Angeles. The 35-year-old jewelry executive wowed onlookers in a chic cropped black tank top that flaunted her toned abs, paired perfectly with mid-rise black jeans.
Ines, who kept her brown hair flowing freely, accessorized with a large black leather bag slung over one shoulder. She completed her effortlessly stylish look with pointy-toed black boots, matching black sunglasses, and a radiant smile. It seems Ines has a penchant for black and dark-colored outfits.
Just last May, she captured attention in Los Angeles with another stunning all-black outfit. She paired a black high-neck bodysuit with matching jeans, the same black leather bag, and sunglasses. She also carried a tumbler, adding a casual flair to her overall ensemble.
Ines de Ramon’s stylish outings have not gone unnoticed, drawing admiration from both fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
