Angelina jolie wardrobe malfunction – it’s hard not to envy Hollywood star Angelina Jolie ? pictured with arm wrapped round one of the world’s sexiest men, actor Brad Pitt at the premiere of her new film Beowulf.

But on closer inspection, the star was having a few wardrobe malfunctions – including her leather trousers splitting at the seams.

First, Angelina got herself into a somewhat sticky situation as the sexy star’s Christian Louboutin stiletto shoe got stuck in a wad of chewing gum on the red carpet.

The unattractive accessory moulded itself to the four inch heel of the designer shoes, spoiling Angelina’s carefully groomed image.

Then the incredibly skinny star, who has raised eyebrows with her painfully thin frame, surprisingly appeared to be busting out of her trousers.

As she cuddled lover Brad Pitt, his hand, which was placed strategically on her bottom, inadvertently concealing a split spreading in the seam of her tight leather trousers.

Clearly, even Hollywood stars have their wardrobe malfunctions.

Fears for the 32-year-old’s health continued as she looked gaunt in her all-black ensemble which did her shrunken figure no favours.

The actress who was once renowned for her curves has dropped pounds since the death of her mother. She admitted that she had been shy about seeing her body so exposed in the animated epic.

The film which uses cutting edge digital technology is based on the Old English poem about the Viking warrior Beowulf, who rescues a Danish kingdom from the deadly beast Grendel. Jolie, 32, plays Grendel’s mother, who plots to destroy the warrior.

In one scene the gorgeous actress emerges from a lake naked and dripping in liquid gold. The image has been digitally enhanced using the latest animation techniques and Jolie’s curves are rather more pronounced than in real life.

Angelina told reporters: “She’s a great character. It’s great to play a bad guy and a mom.”

She has three adopted children, Maddox, six, Zahara, two, and the most recent addition, Pax Thien, three as well as her own baby, Shiloh, with Brad Pitt who was born last year.

Co-stars Ray Winstone and Sir Anthony Hopkins joined Angelina on the red carpet at the glitzy event in Leicester Square.

And Winstone’s young actress daughter Jaime, wearing an unusual white strapless jumpsuit with a bustle, enjoyed the spotlight, along with boyfriend Lily Allen’s actor brother Alfie.

Brad delighted fans by taking time to sign autographs for crowds who braved the cold to meet the stars.
