Jolie was presented with the prestigious title in recognition of her hard work campaigning against sexual violence, as well as her services towards UK foreign policy.
It is rare for non-British citizens to receive a title. Jolie joins the likes of Irish star Bob Geldof, who has an honorary knighthood, although, as a foreigner, she can't be addressed as Dame.
Queen Elizabeth II received Angelina herself during a private audience in Buckingham Palace's 1844 Room.
