Actress Angelina Jolie offered a masterclass in red carpet dressing on Saturday as she attended a screening of her latest film, Maria, in Los Angeles.
The Hollywood star, who portrays opera singer Maria Callas in the biographical film, served up some high-octane glamour in a liquid gold slip dress complete with elegant ruched detailing around the waistline.

While the Mr. & Mrs. Smith actress is renowned for rocking poker straight hair, Angelina took the opportunity to experiment with voluminous curls which she wore down loose and flipped over to one side.

Of her role, Angelina told the Hollywood Reporter back in August: "I'm sure there's a lot that will be read into it of our overlaps as women, but the one that's maybe not the most obvious is I'm not sure how comfortable we both are with being public.

When asked why she had taken on fewer roles in recent years, the actress said: "I needed to be home more with my kids," before going to explain how she now felt ready to return seeing as her children are now "a bit older" and "more independent."
Earlier this month, Angelina travelled to the Big Smoke for the London premiere of her new movie. The star-studded event took place at the 68th BFI London Film Festival at The Royal Festival Hall, with Angelina serving up yet another slice of sartorial perfection.
