She’s no stranger to red carpets, but Monday night was a particularly special event for Angelina Jolie. 

The 39-year-old beauty was joined by husband Brad Pitt in Australia as she attended the world premiere for Unbroken, a new WWII film which she directed.

It’s the first time the pair have walked the red carpet as a married couple after tying the knot in August. 

Looking radiant in a strapless, fishtailed Gucci dress, she greeted thousands of fans who lined the streets by Sydney’s State Theatre before strutting her stuff on the red carpet. 

Angelina and Brad, 50, pulled up in a black Range Rover to greet their fans and stop for photos before walking the red carpet for the movie – which was largely filmed in New South Wales.

The statuesque brunette was dressed in a floor length, strapless silver gown with dark detailing and a fish tail finish.

She accessorised with diamond earrings and her trademark smile. 

One fan brought a plush koala toy to gift Angelina, while another tried to launch herself over the railings.

While she stopped to talk to media, her husband worked the crowds – taking time to individually greet their adoring fans.

For his part, Brad looked sharp wearing a black suit and tie over a crisp white shirt.

The World War Z actor had his hair slicked back and donned a pair of sunglasses, looking handsome as he sported some well-kept facial hair.

Angelina spoke to Daily Mail Australia at the event about her marriage with Brad, saying that ‘we just feel that much closer.’

‘It makes us happy to be married’ she explained, before admitting ‘I don’t think we needed it but it just feels like he’s my husband.’

The pair tied the knot in August after two years of engagement – which itself came after seven years of being together.  

The Maleficent actress doesn’t star in the film – instead, she directs it. Unbroken is based on Laura Hilenbrand’s 2010 novel Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.

It follows the real life story of Olympic runner Louis Zamperini, who was taken prisoner by Japanese forces during the second World War. 

Angelina added that she’s excited for her six children, Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 8, Knox, 6 and Vivienne, 6, to see the flick.

‘Shiloh came to his funeral and [he’s] very connected emotionally to him and so she wants to see it most of all,’ Angelina said. 

‘They’re all very emotional about the story and I look forward to them seeing it because I think it’s very good for children, it’s got good messages.’  

The power couple were joined at the premiere by Unbroken’s producer Matthew Baer, it’s leading man Jack O’Connell, and musician Miyavi Ishihara, who plays a prison guard in the flick.

Matthew told Daily Mail Australia that having the project directed by Angelina ‘was a blessing, a dream…she had a very clear vision from the start.’

‘We assembled an amazing team of actors, great writers…[she] was the best thing that could of possibly have happened to Unbroken,’ he added. 

Jack admitted that Angelina was a source of much appreciated knowledge, saying she gave him ‘plenty’ of tips.

‘I needed them. She wanted the best of the both of us’ he said in reference to himself and Miyavi, ‘I can only hope we achieve that.’

Unbroken is due for a release in the US on December 25, while Australians will have to wait until January 15.
