Angelina Jolie is lady in red at Salt Russian premiere

Angelina Jolie looked stunning as she made her way down the red carpet for the Russian premiere of new movie Salt.


Seeing red: Angelina Jolie makes a striking entrance

Wearing a red-coloured Versace gown, she spent time chatting to fans and posing on the red carpet outside Moscow's Oktyabr cinema.

The eager crowd had waited hours in hot weather conditions to get a glimpse of the glamorous actress.

In the film, that is released in the UK this week, she plays a woman called Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who is accused of being a KGB spy and then goes on the run.

However, in real life she thinks US-Russian relations are going well.


Give us a wave: Angelina smiles for the cameras

Just a few weeks ago 10 Russian sleeper agents were expelled from the United States in exchange for four Russians accused of spying for the West.

But Angelina told reporters: "You don't want to focus on the negative behind this issue of the spy swap because I think that what is happening between our countries is wonderful these days, so many positive movements forward."

After working the red carpet in Russia, Angelina was next spotted in a more casual little black dress and gold flip flops as she jetted to Tokyo with her children.
