Angelina Jolie wowed the crowds last night at the premier for Brad Pitt's new movie 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', she wore a figure hugging dress by L'Wren Scott, making it almost impossible to believe she gave birth to twins only a few months ago! To finish off her glamorous look for the evening she was sporting a fabulous red lipstick which gave added hollywood glamour to the whole ensemble! Red lips are the perfect accessory for any festive outfit this month, try Clinique's 'Angel Red' lipstick (also the colour Niole Kidman wore in Moulin Rouge).
