As Angelina Jolie’s humanitarian efforts continue, the actress and UNHCR special envoy met with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, on Thursday. But when the 41-year-old screen star sat down with the leading Church of England figure – and posed for shots – fans immediately noticed that she wasn’t wearing a bra. Images of their meeting were shared by the archbishop on Twitter, quickly prompting one viewer to joke:
‘She needs a bra. Looks like she could poke someone’s eye out. How embarrassing!’ ‘And the nipples are out for the archbishop, observed another, followed by the quip: ‘I’m sure the archbishop appreciated her showing her nipples.’

Explaining why she might have felt comfortable about braless, one commenter shared:
‘I always have to wear a bra with a slight padding as my nipples always stand to attention no matter what the temperature or company and I find it embarrassing. I’d love to wear a pretty unpadded one and not care, but I don’t have the guts. She clearly might.’
After the meeting, the archbishop took tweeted snapshots of his time with the star, alongside the caption:
‘Privilege to welcome UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie. Discussed refugee crisis, South Sudan and prevention of sexual violence in conflict.’
