Angelina Jolie was spotted out and about in Los Angeles on the Fourth of July holiday.

The 51-year-old actress was clad in a black maxi dress with billowy, elbow-grazing sleeves as she ran errands in the Studio City neighborhood.

She draped a large brown leather bag with gold hardware over her shoulder during the outing.

And the mom of six carried a large white coffee cup while sporting square-shaped, black-rimmed eyeglasses.

Her long, blonde highlighted locks were swept into a messy bun and secured with a clip.

It comes amid Jolie's ongoing legal war with ex-husband Brad Pitt, 62, who recently attempted to retrieve her tax returns from the three years following their split.

Angelina Jolie was spotted out and about in Los Angeles on the Fourth of July holiday amdi her ongoing legal war with ex-husband Brad Pitt , 62, who recently attempted to retrieve her tax returns from the three years following their split

It stems from a disagreement regarding their shared French winery, Château Miraval.

Pitt claims ex-wife Jolie sold her stake behind his back, breaking an agreement they previously made that they would not sell without the other's knowledge. 

The Fight Club star, 62, in legal documents reviewed by the Daily Mail, requested Jolie turn in her tax records and other financial documents pertaining to the years 2017–2019, based on remarks she made that she says Pitt is taking out of context. 

The Maleficent actress said in legal documents reviewed by TMZ that his efforts are part of a 'continued mischaracterization and selective quoting' of statements she's made about the long-running case. 

Pitt told the court that he has expended time and labor into the winery in Correns, France, and he claimed Jolie breached their pact when she sold her share of the estate to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler.

Jolie told the court that she didn't need Pitt's approval over the transaction; and that he took past statements that she made about the sale to achieve 'financial independence' out of context.

The Daily Mail reached out to representatives for Jolie and Pitt for further comment on the story. 

Jolie clarified her comment to mean that she wanted to delineate her finances from Pitt's in an effort to separate herself from him, and not about her money situation in general.

The A-list exes have been embroiled in a battle over their French winery for four years 

Pitt's attorneys told the court that the remark essentially opened her up to scrutiny considering the nature of the litigation.

Jolie's legal team said the gist of her remark was that she had been looking for 'financial independence from her ex-husband.'

It was added that 'separating from one's ex-husband is categorically different from allegations that one is suffering from general financial distress.'

Her team emphasized that she had been looking to 'untangle her life and her finances from' Pitt.

Jolie and Pitt are parents to six children: Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 19, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 17. 

They split in 2016 following a 12-year relationship and two-year marriage, with their divorce finalized eight years later in December 2024 amid a number of legal battles.
