Angelina Jolie Sparkles in Sequins

KOMPAS.com - Angelina Jolie took to the red carpet tonight and received a rapturous welcome from the crowds at the London premiere of her highly anticipated action film Salt.

A black and white carpet was laid for the arrival of Hollywood's biggest female star and nobody shone brighter than the 35 year old in a nude-coloured Amanda Wakely sequinned dress.

As she got out of her car, she waded straight in signing autographs and taking her time to walk the carpet which was specially printed with the name of the film.

But there were concerns over her health as she was looking extremely thin as she stopped and talked to fans that had been waiting outside the Empire cinema in Leicester Square all day.

Her dress, although beautiful on her, swamped her tiny frame and did nothing to flatter her. She said that she had brought her two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with her to London but the others had stayed at home.

And she said actor partner Brad Pitt was unable to attend due to work commitments but added: 'We miss London...we love it here.'

She was joined at the premiere but a not-so-dazzling list of celebrity guests, not one expected for the premiere of a film with a Hollywood A-lister as the star.

Kerry Katona was a guest and posed on the carpet in a Melissa Odabash kaftan. She said she felt like 'Quasimodo' next to Angelina, who she described as 'stunning'.

When asked by the host of the evening, radio and TV presenter Edith Bowman if she would make a good spy, she said: 'Rentagob me can't keep anything to myself!'

X Factor winners Joe McElderry and Leona Lewis also attended as well as Rebecca Adlington fresh from her victory at Euro Swim Championships, who showed off her bronzed legs in an animal print mini dress.
