Brad Pitt can work a red carpet

Angelina Jolie may have gotten mixed reviews for her beige dress, especially compared to last week’s green dazzler, but here’s something undeniable – although he’s uber-casual at home, Brad Pitt sure can work a red carpet. I still LOVE the tux and I really like the sparkly square buttons.

Truly, it doesn’t much matter what dress Angelina wears on the red carpet. If she’s got Brad Pitt on her arm, she’s already got the best accessory anyway.

Also, buzz on the street is that Brad wasn’t just another pretty face on the Cannes carpet – apparently while he was in town he was working on some details for his film Tree of Life. The man is a multi-tasker!

Some people have said that Brad seemed to be smiling less this year at Cannes. While I did see many smiling photos, there are so many possible reasons. He could have been thinking about Tree of Life, he might have just been tired, maybe he wasn’t too thrilled that the world found out for sure that they’re having twins, perhaps he was stressed about the shopping mob the day before, who knows? However, one thing I’ve often noticed is that either Brad or Angelina will be very animated on the red carpet for their own premiere because they’re essentially working, whereas the other will hang back a bit to keep the focus on the right celebrity. It’s not the first time I’ve seen a subdued Brad, but when he takes his turn on the red carpet for his upcoming films, I’m sure we’ll be seeing plenty of the goofy Brad we know and love!
