Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt turned heads on the red carpet at the Critics Choice Awards last night.

The Tomb Raider actress treated the crowd to a glimpse of her svelte figure by showing off her lengthy legs in a eggshell gown slashed to the thigh.

Hollywood's favourite couple left their six kids at home to attend the ceremony at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in California.

But although Brad and Angelina were up for an award each, they didn't scoop any trophies.

Anne Hathaway - who stood out in an interesting black and white gown - came neck-and-neck in the votes for best actress by critics with Meryl Streep.

Other stars to add some glamour to the guest list included Eva Longoria, Richard Gere, Katy Perry, Kate Beckinsale and Penelope Cruz.
