THR on the gown and reviews

Jude Elliott-Jones

In The Land of Blood & Honey got glowing reviews from women for women international, which is all the critic you should need to watch it

Angelina Jolie 'In the Land of Blood and Honey' Afterparty

As if her directorial debut wasn't nerve-wracking enough, the actress made a fatal misstep at the end of the night.

Ah ... Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt back on the red carpet, just like we like 'em. And they both looked incredibly hot last  night at the Arclight Theatre in Hollywood in their color coordinated navy blue ensembles. Jolie looked wore a navy blue Romona Keveza one shouldered navy gown with Jimmy Choo shoes for the premiere of her directorial debut, In the Land of Bl
ood and Honey, a love story set during the Bosnian conflict that is being quite well received by the critics.
 Wouldn't it be amazing if she gets an Oscar nom? We're willing to bet that the film will get some notice by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at their 2012 Golden Globe Awards.
Her main man Pitt wore navy blue Tom Ford suit with horn rim glasses and long parted in the middle hair. this is a new look for the Brad Man. One has to wonder, is he channeling Johnny Depp, Jolie's costar in The Tourist? She had both the men in her life at the premiere. She hugged her dad Jon Voight, whom she has mended fences with.

But here's the bad news. According to a report and photos published in the Daily Mail, Jolie's heel ripped the hem of her gown as the couple was leaving the Magnolia Restaurant in Hollywood after the premiere party. We're amazed that doesn't happen every night during awards season. And it's doubtful that the designer -- or Jolie's longtime stylist Jen Rade -- will mind one bit.

Angelina Jolie trips and rips her glamorous gown at LA premiere of her directorial début


It was her big directorial debut, and there is no doubt Angelina Jolie looked absolutely stunning in her floor length designer blue gown.
But as the evening came to a close the 36-year-old was finding it difficult to emulate the sophisticated goddess we all know and love.
Instead it seemed the one shouldered navy blue Romona Keveza dress, coupled with Jimmy Choo shoes, got in the way when it came to actual walking.

Uneasy tread: Although Angelina's floor length navy blue Romona Keveza dress showed off her stunning figure perfectly, it looked as though it was more suited being stationary as it kept getting under the director's shoes
