GLAMMED UP IN GERMANY

Posted Jan 31 2009 @ 05:38 PM

Making a stunning entrance at the Berlin premiere of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Angelina Jolie looked timelessly elegant on Brad Pitt’s arm as the sizzling couple walked the red carpet on January 19. I’m loving that Angie took such a daring twist with the ivory pantsuit and funky sweep over ‘do, but I’m having trouble wrapping my mind around this one. Angie started with a floor sweeping pair of ivory trousers, a matching blazer with casual rolled cuffs, and a simple white cami under a sheer wrap top (emulate Angie’s look for a casual day with classy denim trousers like Pierce Jeans’ Newport Perm Press Trouser in Midnight Blue, LaROK’s Colette Top in Pearl with PGD Style’s Fancy Tank in Walnut underneath and Elizabeth Gillett’s Cindy Knit Duster with Lace in Ivory topping it off). In regards to the pantsuit, I am usually never a fan of the look, but I think this might be the exception. The fit is perfectly tailored for Angelina – not too loose, not too tight – and the layered pieces under the jacket add a vintage, glam element to the look. Very old fashioned, but it works, especially next to Brad’s tailored suit and scarf. I’m also loving that she took a huge chance with her hair, sweeping one side to the back and letting the right side fall in a huge flip. When has she done anything different with her hair lately other than add a few loose waves? It’s a little crazy but it works! The dazzling earring on the left side only is another matter though – do you think the one earring look is flattering? I’m surprised to say I really don’t think it’s that distasteful, and combined with the similarly ornate ring Ang is displaying across Brad’s sexy abs, I think it adds a surprisingly elegant touch to the ‘fit (add some elegant gems like Robyn Rhodes’ Kimberly Ring in Gold and the Kaylee Earrings in Gold - wearing one or both is optional!). I’m sure you all have thoughts about this daring look… do you think it’s a do or don’t? After the premiere, Brangelina unwound with a relaxing dinner at the historic VAU Restaurant in the reconstructed Mitte district. I have to assume Brad is savoring his last night in Berlin, leaving the premiere with a lager in hand like a true Deutsch. Filming has wrapped for Brad’s new Quentin Tarantino flick Inglorious Bastards and the Jolie-Pitt clan is expected to jet out of Germany for other worldly spots. Where to next, kids? China, Africa, Los Angeles? We’ll have to wait and see where the wind takes them next!
