Angelina Jolie made a beautiful appearance at the 77th Annual Tony Awards on Sunday, revealing a fresh, little bird tattoo in the centre of her chest.

The Maleficent actress, 49, who recently showed off another addition to her tattoo collection, flaunted the tiny ink while walking the red carpet with her teenage daughter Vivienne, 15.

The Outsiders, the pair’s Broadway play, won four major awards during the special gala, including Best Musical.

Her most recent tattoo appeared to resemble a sparrow-like bird with its wings slightly extended, as if it were flying.

Sparrows can have a specific meaning and are thought to represent freedom, love, and fidelity.

Jolie, who is now immersed in a bitter divorce fight with ex-husband Brad Pitt, selected a simple black ink tattoo over one with colourful accents.
