And one can only ask, why?

Miss Jolie pulled off her effortless red carpet style again at the awards do in Los Angeles, in an understated cornflower blue Max Azria gown from the spring 2009 collection, but in an unusual, yet confident, twist the Changeling star opted to let the plunging neckline show off her back, rather than her décolletage.

Ange’s stylist, Jen Rade, explained the dress turn around was to make it ‘more blouson’ and of course, allowed Mrs Pitt to show off her multiple back tattoos as well.

When quizzed on the red carpet about her getting ready routine, Angelina revealed: ‘I just like to be comfortable. I see what comfortable options are out there.’
