Angelina Jolie’s tattoos & thin frame steal show at ‘Basterds’ premiere

brad_pitt_angelina_jolie_07
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt walked the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of Inglourious Basterds last night. Brad looked… well, who’s looking at Brad? Angelina seemed back to old form, and had people gossiping about the old-school combination of a slim frame, more tattoos than ever, and a tight, black leather dress. It’s so 1999! To be fair to the dress, it’s a higher-class black leather than Angelina used to wear – look, it has pockets! What designer puts pockets on a body-skimming black leather dress? The shoes are pretty righteous too – they look like something Gwyneth would wear, don’t they? Usually Angelina’s not a shoe person. I can’t even remember a time when I looked at pics of her and thought “I want those shoes!” I’m not crazy about her hair though. I like it down, but it looks a little ratty and unwashed.

Angelina was also showing off some new tattoos, but they’re nothing major. She had swirls put around her babies’ latitude and longitude numbers on her upper arm, and it looks like she made some minor adjustments to pre-existing tattoos on her left forearm.

I’m sure people will be talking about how thin she looks. The Daily Mail has already started in on the stuff, calling Angelina’s appearance “impossibly slender” in “an unforgiving leather mini-dress which clung to her fragile frame”. I don’t know… she’s not as skinny as she was after her mom died – look at her face and arms. They still look “filled out” so I’m not really buying the whole “Angelina is so thin because she and Brad and breaking up” stuff.

Back to Brad, he does look a bit grumpy, doesn’t he? And I’m not sure the all-black thing works for him. It’s like he’s trying to pull a Johnny Cash, but he just looks morose and constipated. To give some credit to the whole look though, the suit is tailored beautifully and he’s not accessorized with an ascot, like he was in Cannes. Brad’s also still rocking the grey in his goatee, which I still love. Maybe Brad was just acting pissy because everyone was paying attention to Angelina… and her shoes!

    Oh please.. she and Brad were smokin hawt on the carpet. she looked wonderful and so did Brad. WTF. he was laughing and so was she..

    now the Jennatics will rush here to nit pic.. who cares. they looked like they were having a great time.. They were wonderful to the fans and they owned that carpet. like they always do.. Go Brad and Angie..

  2. Because I Say So says:

    She looks sexy again (for once), and I’m not a fan. I like the casual rocker-chic sort of vibe she has going on, and her face/forehead doesn’t have that waxy, moist look from a while ago.

  3. kai says:

    She looks like her old self. I can’t decide if that’s a good thing.

  4. N.D. says:

    She looks really good. My guess is that’s because she’s well rested there – no filming, no long flights, no heartbreaking events to attend before this red carpet – it did wonders to her.

  5. eml says:

    maybe its the cut of the dress or the pockets but that dress looks awful. it makes her hips look abnormally wide. i generally like the way she dresses on the red carpet but this is my least favorite. her body just looks so weird (and no, i don’t think it looks weird b/c she’s thin).

  6. cee says:

    Please!!! WHat is with all the negativity. They looked HOT!!!!!!!! I am really tired of all the foolishness that these sites come up with about Brad and Angie. The hottest couple in the world has so many haters because there is so much jealousy.

  7. Firestarter says:

    His suit is awful. He needs to get himself a tailor that knows how to fit him properly. The arms are so tight at the top it makes them look fat.

  8. bros says:

    I think they look great. his suit fits perfectly and I have never seen brad in ill fitting clothes, nor heard anyone accuse him of going to some two-bit tailor. the man knows how to dress. he was on vanity fair’s best dressed list, and they dont mess around. angies dress is kind of meh, but her face does look less waxen and she looks great and like she has gotten sleep. awesome shoes.

  9. Nev says:

    I’m not a fan either but she did look beatiful…they look happy and in love.
    I never believed the break up rumours. It’s becoming a regular thing. The break up rumours are flying from every where. People that hate them believe it. All the paps and reporters chase after this couple for some sign of grief. Then they show up at the premiere looking hot sexy and in love-very much together. Then that picture is circulated through the media I see why this is the mega couple of Hollywood.
    The people that hate them help make them the top couple in Hollywood and all this after five years. Oh well I don’t see it changing no time soon. Long as the media is talking about them they will be on top. Since they are not going any where no tme soon then I’m glad they are good at their job.

  10. Cea says:

    ……She”s bringing sexy back…….

    Can’t help but think of that song.

    This is the best I’ve seen her look in a while.

  11. viper says:

    I used to like her tattoo, they were well placed poportionate and strangely looked classy and added alot of character. Now with the ne wones it’s just such a mess. She should stop now before she ends up with whats becoming a tattoo sleeve.

  12. HEB says:

    I don’t like the blonde highlights, washes out her face

  13. Beth says:

    I don’t understand when people say “Angelina is so thin”. First of all there are a lot more actresses thinner than Angelina and nobody says anything. Also another site had a picture of her at the Mr. and Mrs. Smith premiere. She looks bigger now than 4 years ago. It’s obvious that people just want to trash her and keep the gossip going. I think Brad looks great but needs to shave or at least trim his beard. There are more pictures of him smiling and looking happy. I think people are saying he looks angry because they believe the rumors that he and Angelina are fighting all of the time. Not smiling doesn’t mean anger or sadness.

  14. princess pea says:

    @ cee – Are you kidding me? Your sensitivity is on high alert today, huh? 5 comments, only one of them NOT praising the glorious beauty of the most saintly and godlike couple in the world, and you get your panties in a twist? There isn’t allowed to be even ONE voice that isn’t chanting their glory? And honestly, re-read eml’s comment; it’s not mean. It’s okay to not like EVERY single dress that someone owns, really it is.

  15. nancypants says:

    I’m using that pic of them on my Christmas card

  16. sickofit says:

    black does not become her, she looks pale in black. and the smile looks very fake somehow.

  17. Ursula says:

    Can one person be so thin and another drinking like a fish claim to be so happy and so in love? I ask!

  18. Praise St. Angie! says:

    She does look better than she has in a while…the black leather is so much more “her” than that filmy flesh-colored thing she wore before.

    But I do think she looks a little thin and I agree on the cut of the dress – it makes her look wide in the hips which we all know she isn’t.

    And I agree with Kaiser about her hair. It looks a little stringy and like she didn’t wash it that day. Her hair usually looks much better down, but not this time.

    edit: one more thing…brad looks like he’s trying WAY too hard to look cool…the black doesn’t suit him…he def looks better in a gray.

  19. Niamh says:

    She looks awesome but you must admit, a little coked up.. which isn’t bad, I’m just saying. If we didn’t know anything about her she looks like any other young starlet.

  20. crash2GO2 says:

    Huh. Take a look at that body language in the pics with them together. Could they tilt their heads any further apart from each other do ya think?? Angie hanging on with both hands and he with one hand in his pocket?

    This is not the picture of a happy couple, people. Sorry to rain on your parades. It has nothing to do with Aniston and everything to do with Pitt and Jolie.

  21. tweet says:

    he always seems a bit “not that into her”. he always seems to be leaning away from her in pics of them together….with his hands in his pockets…..weird!!!

  22. prees says:

    I think also that they looked good only i don’t think this is a happy couple. She is way more into him then he into her.

  23. stacy says:

    love her look! but i do have to say i think his facial expressions are odd, like he would rather be in berlin. whats also strange is the pic of her grabbing his ass…his hands are in his pockets and he’s not even looking at her. That pic makes her look desperate. the rest are great!

  24. rop says:

    She is extra thin. Call it as it is, wether you admire her or not.

  25. yae says:

    I liked Brad’s old irish-british look last year much more. Brad is beginning to dress like a pimp.

  26. Bob Lawblaw says:

    That’s a minidress?

    I say nay.

  27. RobN says:

    I think she looks just fine, but he looks like hell. The really bad skin seems to show more the older he gets, and it’s hard to picture the guy from Legends of The Fall in there anywhere. Sure, everybody ages, but he’s not doing it very well.

  28. maddie says:

    I think she did something to her face, she looks different.

    She does look good though

    And Cee stalk much.

    I forget we’re all jealous if we don’t drink the Kool-aide.

  29. Firestarter says:

    @Bros- Oh, okay then, if Vanity Fair says he is among the best dressed, then it has to be true. No one else’s opinion is allowed.

  30. Beth says:

    Didn’t take long for the haters to come out full force. Can’t the haters and Jenfans come up with something new? For the past 4 years they’ve been saying Brad looks miserable and they are breaking up. It’s really old and always wrong. I guess they feel that if they say it long enough and they do breakup the haters can say I told you so. Even if it takes 10 years for it to happen. Surprised nobody made any breakup announcement predictions like they usually do.

  31. Kathy says:

    She looks like she’s trying a bit too hard, he looks like he’s not trying at all. Say what you will, but this is not a close, happy couple. Overall vibe is off, forced.

  32. rop says:

    Poster #30- Oh, just stop with the haters comments. Let it go. I’m sure there are actresses that you don’t care for and that is o.k. Just take a deep breath and understand that we all have our own opinions and preferrences. Just because some of us don’t care for them or don’t find them attractive does not make us jealous. Grow up.

  33. Carmela says:

    Quentin Tarantino must be lubing-up his .357 to shoot a mother****** as we speak because not one of the comments so far has had any relation to the film their supposed to be promoting!

    She looks skinny and waxen, he looks dead behind the eyes, and no-one will watch this film, just like the US audience ignored Button and Changeling.

  34. Andrea says:

    She looks tough. At last she finds her way back to her dynamic personality. Her hair is ok. Not so tarted up. He looks like an arrogant boy. Brad remember, you are a father of six. “Calm down”

  35. Firestarter says:

    Why is it that when ANYONE dares to go against the tide here and state their opinion, people are labeled as jealous, haters and Aniston fans? Can people not state an opinion because they want to and not have it mean anything other than the intended statement?

    Also, why is it when people comment negatively, they are told to skip the thread and move on? Everyone is entitled to read the posts on Celebitchy and comment on them, even if they do not like the celbritied in wuestion.

    For the record, I do not hate Jolie/Pitt, I just think that they are overrated and not any better of a couple than any one else in Holywood.

  36. Chicoulina says:

    Wow!!!!!VAVAVOUM!!!That is one hot couple!They both look very sexy in black!I love Angelina with her hair down.Brad’s glasses are very nice.Angelina can very anything and still look fabulous!With a face like that she doesn’t have to try.She looks very healthy and happy.He is looking cool and secure!Sorry Brangelina haters but you’re out of luck!Maybe next time,but I don’t think so!

  37. bros says:

    chill firestarter. pitt may not be wearing something you like, but he is never ill-fitted. and yes, I trust vanity fair’s assessment more than your amateur assessment of how his suit is cut. it’s hilarious to me you think he was slumming it with a bad tailor for the LA premiere of his movie.

  38. Jenna says:

    Just want to say: Wow. In my opinion, she looks great and so does Brad. Two points!

  39. Catherine says:

    She looks amazing. Love it!

  40. Firestarter says:

    @Bros- When did I say he was “slumming with a bad tailor” ?

    Have a good day and everyone is entitled to their opinion, even an amateur like me.

  41. RubyKaur says:

    They both looked amazing. AJ looked refreshed and flawless….I just didn’t like her hair. The color is horrible, and it looked stringy and unkempt. I much prefer her with very dark hair – it brings out her eyes. They should of darkened it, flat ironed it and given her bangs!

  42. justathought says:

    jolie is one hot momma!

  43. Praise St. Angie! says:

    to firestarter…

    after seeing the suit a little better in another post, I tend to agree with you.

    the suit looks rumpled…don’t know if it’s ill-fitting or if it’s just the material that makes it look that way.

    either way, it’s not a good look for him.

    edit: to bros…Vanity Fair is not the be-all and end-all of who’s who in fashion. they are, after all, the ones who called Kelly Ripa one of the best dressed women for 2009, and put Renee Zellweger on the Hall of Fame list. if YOU choose to agree with THEIR opinion, that’s cool, but not all of hold the same one.

  44. Ana says:

    I think they look hot.

    But I do agree, Angelina’s hair should’ve been fixed better. The dress could’ve done without pocket because of the material.
    Brad needed an iron.

    She looks good though, and you can tell she felt good. Her face didn’t look waxy. As for the body language, I don’t think it should be based off of posing a red carpet together. After all, you are posing.

  45. Enonymous says:

    I think Angelina Jolie actually looks quite good here. As for Brad Pitt, his kids needs to hold him down one day while Angelina shaves that ugly grey beard of his.

  46. jeannified says:

    Angelina and Brad lookin’ FIERCE!!!

  47. lol says:

    Angelina looks healthier than she has in ages. she must be getting her beauty sleep.

  48. Kikker says:

    I think she looks beautiful here. I haven’t thought that in a while. Brad seems unhappy.

  49. MSat says:

    She looks amazing! The old leather-clad Angie is back. So Brad is finally showing his age, so what? She is sexy enough for both of them.

  50. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    I’m a hater and she looks like a coke-addled whore.

    Strike me down.

  51. sdfsd says:

    she looks really good! i love her hair and the dress.

  52. lol says:

    err, i just went through some of the pix to see what “unhappY” brad and she looks just as unhappy/bored when she’s posing with him. She looks a lot happier posing on her own. LOLOLOLOL!

  53. hmm says:

    She looks gorgeous.

  54. Beth says:

    She is STUNNING. He looks good too, (though I think he looks better sans facial hair.)
    Whats Jennifer A’s “retaliation” going to be ?! Gag.

  55. tessa says:

    Love the Jolie Pitts, they own the red carpet as usual and the fans love them. Brad is so handsome and Angelina is sexy as alaways. Glad she’s put some weight on. Brad can’t even keep his hands off her as she can’t him.

  56. Cheyenne says:

    I’m not crazy about the shoes, but damn, she is wearing the hell out of that dress! Gorgeous!

    I knew five minutes into this thread, all the Aniston self-pronounced body-language experts would crawl out of the woodwork analyzing every stance, glance and head tilt and pronouncing their relationship dead because their eyeballs weren’t locked every single second. Give it up, will you? He’s not leaving her and running back to Jennifer. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. Get over it.

  57. fizXgirl314 says:

    she looks a LITTLE healthier doesn’t she? I think she’s put on a few pounds… good for her.

    I don’t like Brad’s outfit though. As someone said earlier in the thread, he looks like a pimp :/

  58. fizXgirl314 says:

    Cheyenne… YOU get over it… and get a life… one that isn’t located in the jolie/pitt’s rectum…

  59. tessa says:

    Mini dress? Doesn’t a mini dress come up waaay above the knees? Now she did wear a mini to the Kung Fu Panda premiere and boy did she have killer sexy legs to die for!

  60. Lys says:

    People, take so many pictures you can because she is SMILING! That IS new!

  61. eml says:

    what’s funny is that the only people bringing up JA are those who claim that any negativity towards BP and AJ is coming from a JA fan.

  62. angel says:

    As always, the clothes are wearing Brad, not the other way around. Maybe that is why he looks so uncomfortable…He does not ‘own the look’.

    As for AJ, she looks like AJ, black leather and edgy. All of that respectable, ladylike, ladies do lunch stuff is not her, especially not the flesh colored diaphanous thing…

  63. Cinderella says:

    She looks naughty, coked up and very hot.

    She also has a good grip on her man. He’s not going anywhere.

  64. fizXgirl314 says:

    eml, that DOES seem to be the case doesn’t it?

    One thing I have to say I have always envied about this woman is her smile. She has an amazing smile that really lights up a room. As much as I hate how big this couple has become, I cannot help but stare at pictures of her where she’s smiling. She literally has an artful smile…

  65. tootyfrooty says:

    At least she is finally dressing her age and not an old lady. Its funny that she only ever seems to have a smile on her face in public when its on a red carpet. Is the rest of her life that depressing?

  66. jen says:

    They both look good. I like to see her smiling. No hate–I wish them the best. And if they are having problems, hopefully, they can work it out for the sake of all those kids.

  67. Anastasia says:

    All this deciding they aren’t happy based on a few pics is silly for one huge reason: if you ever watch the real time video of pics like this getting taken, you know that what you are seeing in one picture equals just a split second.

    My husband and I are very much in love and have been together 20 years, but I bet if you took pictures of us you could find some to support:

    1. oooo he hates her!
    2. oooo she hates him!
    3. oooo they hate each other!
    4. they’re so in love!
    5. they’re indifferent to each other!
    6. she’s more into him than he is into her!
    7. he’s more into her than she is into him!

    And so on and so forth. This doesn’t just apply to this couple but to anyone analyzing some split second shots to find the entire health of a relationship. Oy, that’s silly.

  68. crash2GO2 says:

    Cheyenne – why don’t you stick to the subject and tell us why you think these pictures show the body language of a couple deeply in love?

    Naw – didn’t think so. Much easier to construct strawmen and shoot ’em down! Happy spewing!

  69. whatever says:

    Your point is true Anastasia. I think it’s all people have to go on, though. And, people here are SO INTERESTED to know what their relationship is really like, no matter how much they deny it or say they hate them.

  70. Dani says:

    I’m not an Angelina fan at all, but I think she looks beautiful. Actually I think this is the best I’ve seen her look this year. I dont think Brad looks all that hot, but I never found him very attractive anyway.

    Why does Aniston need to be brought into this? So freakin stupid and childish.

  71. DD says:

    lol fizXgirl314 that’s the one thing I can`t stand is her full face on open mouth smile. It gives me serious joker vibes. She`s beautiful in every other pose though. She`s looking hot here, but I still think she needs to gain some muscle tone to get back her youthful glow of yesteryear. No comment on Brad though he`s boring. Anastasia I here you. You can`t tell much from a photograph. I usually have a frozen smile half the time… waiting for the camera to flash pisses me off.

  72. sunnysunday says:

    she totally looks hot! but… a little like she’s been rode hard and put away wet…and high.

  73. trichatillomaniak says:

    Ok- a few people have written she “looks Coked up”

    I’m a novice to these give-aways. can someone enlighten me as to how exactly she looks “coked up?”

    (If we were talking Amy W I may be a better dective….)

  74. sunnysunday says:

    …her dress looks just like the one JA is wearing on the cover of ELLE right now.

  75. kris says:

    la jolie is the only winner when it comes to leather dresses. many copied her style but they cant pull it off. theres something with angelina that you cant explain if shes in her trademark outfit.very appropriate to her figure, her sexy appeal comes out and shes very comfortable with it- you can tell. angie is not a shoe trend or mode fan. she likes formal simple shoes but the high heels shes on right now made her 10 years younger. And gosh.. those skin, eyes and mouth…… HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

    this couple is a smash hit!

  76. Jaxon says:

    It’s simply amazing what people project onto this couple.

  77. Cheyenne says:

    @ sunnysunday: Wrong, hon. JA’s dress looks like the black leather dress Angie wore to the premiere of Mr. and Mrs. Smith five years ago. Just like that red dress she wore for the Vogue cover last December looked like the red dress Angie wore for her Vogue cover two years earlier. Maybe JA figures if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em?

  78. jann says:

    he’s hot as ever and she’s hot, you don’t get any better than them, he already stated she is his soul mate, he is a real man, he is not going to be hanging all over her like a kid, he loves her, get over it.

  79. Who Cares says:

    @Cheyenne-

    So now anyone who wears a black leather dress is copying Jolie? OMG you’re reaching pretty far on that, and it’s just pathetic.

    If Aniston got run over by a bus, you’d probably be hysterical since you’d have nowhere to channel all that hate.

    Seriously, get some help.

  80. crash2GO2 says:

    Not to belabor a point, but I looked up some old photos of Brad and Jennifer together at some premiers, and there is a world of difference in how they looked next to each other – it makes me sad for Angelina, Brad – and the children especially.

    It seems they are sticking it out, and I wish them the best.

  81. Fat Elvis says:

    Who Cares: LOL, no kidding. Some of these posters sound like they need restraining orders (taken out AGAINST them). Wow.

    Oh, and while I really do like Angie’s dress, I agree that it would be far more attractive without pockets.

  82. Praise St. Angie! says:

    who the fuck remembers what someone wore to a premier FIVE YEARS AGO? or what someone wore on a magazine cover two years ago?

    I don’t even remember what I wore last Thursday.

    cripes, these brangeloonies are SCARY.

  83. Zarah says:

    They look really great. She looks healthy and hot and happy. And Brad is aging really nicely.

    Wish them all the best.

  84. susuan1 says:

    she not in the movie, but she putting on a show. Brad is just along for the ride. She only smiles when the camera is on her. it’s sad that they have to put on a show , like they are happy.
    Her hair looks aweful wrong color, and his suit is too big. tailor? Someone like kate winslet wouldn’t be caught died in that dress. Her wearing black all the time is getting predictable.

  85. Debbie says:

    These two are SMOKIN’ and they both look fantastic!! They are, without a doubt, THE power couple of Hollywood. All of you trashin’ them are either blind or jealous. Brad has said that Angie’s his soulmate and he’s happier than he’s ever been. I wish the two of them and their beautiful children a wonderful life!!

  86. Lys says:

    Good! Now we know all about Heid and Spencer and the two cheaters sex life. I think we could live without this…

  87. Glorified says:

    All of their public discusions about their sex life on the red carpet reminds me of the Billy-Bob days….

    I wonder if “they fcked in the car” on the way over.

    Same old song…..different guy. So unoriginal and trashy.

  88. Lizzie says:

    She’s hot but you know there is still some crazy in her just like Britney. Angies’ kids are her way of calming the crazy. I wonder if that’s why she keeps having them? Either way she does a damn good job at hiding her crazy and keeping a marketable image, have to give her credit for knowing how to sell herself.

  89. Shanny says:

    I agree Lizzis, she has a crazy spark in her eye.
    I am not liking the tats at all but she does look better than she been looking on the red carpet.
    I do think they look kind of fake on the red carpet together, something seems off.

  90. gg says:

    I think she’s kind of crazy but I like her. The tattoos are hideous and aren’t doing her any favors. She look happy though.

  91. Lys says:

    She is smilling! Be afraid; very afraid…

  92. Allegra says:

    She is obviously beautiful, but not without flaws. Her odd mouth shape and too many teeth look is obviously still with her as evidenced by her open mouth smile. And has the woman ever been told to exercise those stick calves? Everytime I see those sticks protuding out from a dress I marvel that no one has pointed out to her the need to build some muscle tone in those rickety things. The light of madness in her eyes as she not so subtly stole Brad’s thunder on the red carpet was less than captivating as well methinks. Those veiny arms could go the way of Madonna’s as she ages as well. Eat a burger!

  93. morgs says:

    she looks wasted. she has either got the alcohol happies or the cocaine happies. She looks hot (lose the damn pockets), but old girl is effed up on something.

  94. crab says:

    She needs braces on her teeth!
