She plays the title role of the evil horned fairy in upcoming Disney movie, Maleficent, but Angelina Jolie looked more good than bad when she stepped out on Thursday night with her beau Brad Pitt.
Angelina, 38 and Brad, 50, attended a private reception at Kensington Palace in which props and costumes from the movie were exhibited.
The event was in aid of Great Ormond Street hospital and was also attended by Elle Fanning, who plays Sleeping Beauty Aurora and Sam Riley, who plays a character called Diaval in the film.
Angelina could barely keep her eyes, or her hands off Brad as they posed for photos on the blue carpet.
She looked incredible in an embellished floor-length black gown, which had a plunging neckline and a low-back detail. Co-ordinating their look, Brad was dressed head-to-toe in matching black.
The couple were joined by their eldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 12, who does not star in the movie, but was clearly allowed to attend the event as a special treat.
The soon-to-be teenager looked cute in a black shirt and skinny jeans which he livened up with a red tie and a cool leather jacket. He wore his hair slicked back and looked thrilled to be with his parents.
His mum placed a protective arm around her shy son and Brad was also on hand to help lead the way as they walked to the palace together.
Also walking the blue carpet was 16-year-old actress, Elle Fanning, who looked like she had just stepped out of a fairytale in her romantic looking get-up.
Elle looked beautiful in a lemon strapless brocade dress by Georges Hobeika which trailed down onto the floor. She teamed the incredible gown with a floral headpiece which topped her pretty up-do.
On Wednesday, Just Jared reports that Elle was spotted wearing a patterned dress while arriving on the Eurostar in London and earlier in the week, she was seen out and about in Paris, France.
Fellow actor Sam Riley looked smart in a dark grey suit which he teamed with a white shirt and blue tie.
According to imdb, the film tells the tale of a vindictive fairy who is driven to curse an infant princess before realising the child may be the only one who can restore peace.
Elle recently revealed that she felt a little daunted at the prospect of working with co-star Angelina but was soon put at ease.
‘When you hear, “Angelina Jolie,” that’s just a name,’ she told Interview magazine. ‘When I met her, she became, like, flesh – someone who wasn’t just a big celebrity.’
Meanwhile, Angelina reassured fans that the new movie – out in the U.S. on May 30 – would ‘respect’ the original 1959 Disney cartoon.
‘We’ve respected the classic, we’ve tried to bring you what you love about the story,’ she said in a promotional video. ‘We also hope to hope to bring a world that you’ve never seen before.
‘It’s a very beautiful story, and I think it is very different from what people are going to expect.’
Angelina’s daughter Vivienne stars as the young Princess Aurora in the film, while son Pax and daughter Zahara have cameo roles.
The event was a star-studded one which was also attended by talk show host Jonathan Ross and comedian Jimmy Carr.
Adding a further splash of style to the event was fashion designer Stella McCartney who looked chic in an all-black ensemble.
