We take inspiration (kind of) from supermum Angelina Jolie as she tackles the dreaded weekly supermarket shop
She’s nailed that supermarket chic look
Being one of the biggest stars on the planet, you’d expect Angelina Jolie to have employed a special assistant whose sole task was to do her weekly shop – or to have a VIP Ocado account, at the very least.
But, as she’s so often reminding us, despite the worldwide fame, millions in the bank and past penchant for wearing vials of blood around her neck, Ange is just your average, hardworking, single mum of six. And she proved that last week as she hit her local supermarket, schooling us all in the art of trolley dashing.
First thing’s first: wear a black long-sleeved satin kimono. This, of course, keeps you warm in the chilled aisle, while the dark colour protects you from unexpected spillages. Speaking of spills, it’s best to wear nude, pointed-toe heels – everyone knows they’re the sturdiest footwear when there’s a puddle of milk in aisle two.
Another lesson from Ange’s supermarket excursion is the benefits of getting a blowdry before your Asda trip, what with unwashed tresses being a potential contamination risk down the fresh fruit and veg aisle. And finally, ensure you have a lackey by your side throughout the whole experience – you never know when you’ll need to climb on their shoulders to reach that tin of beans on the top shelf.
Looking as chilled as the bottle of Frappuccino she picked up in-store, the actress/director/ humanitarian proved she really can turn her hand to anything. And didn’t she look over the moon with her copy of National
Geographic? We take it heat was sold out, Ange…
