Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt continued their recent red-carpet run with an appearance at the In the Land of Blood and Honey premiere in Washington DC this evening. Angelina covered up her vintage dress with a Michael Kors coat while Brad went with a Tom Ford suit and his latest accessory, a cane. The night was all about Angelina after Brad took the spotlight at their last two events. Yesterday, the couple popped up in the Big Apple for the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, where Brad was recognized for best actor in both Moneyball and The Tree of Life. He accepted another award for those movies over the weekend at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. It’s just the beginning of a long award season for the duo, though Angelina shared that they’ve been more focused on family activities, like Zahara’s birthday, than their public appearances.
