Last week, actress Angelina Jolie attended a premiere wearing a white dress by Ulyana Sergeenko.

On Oct. 20, Hollywood celebrity and United Nations ambassador Angelina Jolie attended the premiere of her animated film The Breadwinner sporting a white demi-couture crepe dress by a Russian designer Ulyana Sergeenko.

Sergeenko is known for dressing many stars, not only in Russia but also abroad. Her outfits have been draped over the likes of Dita Von Teese, Emma Stone, Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke, Lady Gaga, and even Beyonce!

Originally from Ust-Kamenogorsk in Kazakhstan, Sergeenko married Russian billionaire oligarch Danil Khachaturov. She eventually set up her own brand in 2011 and quickly earned herself a reputation as a leading designer.
