Lesson: Inner Beauty Is More Important Than Anything

Last year, Jolie covered Elle's September issue, and in the corresponding feature story, she penned an essay in which she spoke about the importance of inner beauty and what it really means to be "wicked."

"I often tell my daughters that the most important thing they can do is to develop their minds," she wrote. "You can always put on a pretty dress, but it doesn't matter what you wear on the outside if your mind isn't strong. There is nothing more attractive — you might even say enchanting — than a woman with an independent will and her own opinions."

It's a lesson she hopes to pass down to her three daughters, but we're OK with following her advice as well.
