Cannes experienced a celebrity eclipse the second Angelina took to the red carpet. Jolie has dominated the red carpet at Cannes over the past few years, from her bright citron Emanuel Ungaro gown to her green Max Azria maternity gown last year, and 2009 is shaping up to be no exception. The star joined her partner Brad Pitt for the premiere of his new film “Inglorious Basterds” in a super-sexy draped Versace Atelier gown in a tea rose color.

But what really caught our eye is the thigh-high slit on her gown, exposing pretty much all of her perfectly toned right leg. Earlier in the day Brad, along with his costars and director Quentin Tarantino, were at a press conference for the film but a feeding frenzy did not hit the red carpet until Angie showed up to meet Brad for a private event for the entire cast of Quentin Tarantino’s film the night before. The dinner date came soon after Jolie arrived from Holland, where she had observed a war crimes trial. Sad to say the rumors of “trouble” in Jolie-Pitt land were greatly exaggerated. Check out the Gallery of images that prove that if Angelina is on the red carpet movies experience the type of press money really can’t buy!
