The trio attended a private reception at Kensington Palace for upcoming Disney movie, Maleficent,  in which props and costumes from the movie were exhibited in aid of Great Ormond Street hospital.

Angelina plays the title role of the evil horned fairy in the movie and daughter Vivienne stars as the young Princess Aurora, while son Pax and daughter Zahara have cameo roles.

Elle Fanning,16, plays Sleeping Beauty Aurora and actor Sam Riley, plays a character called Diaval in the film.

Jolie looked incredible in an embellished floor-length black gown by Atelier Versace, which had a plunging neckline and a low-back detail.

Her beau, Brad was dressed head-to-toe in matching black, topping off the look with a pair of ultra trendy specs.

Meanwhile, Angelina reassured fans that the new movie - out in the U.S. on May 30 - would 'respect' the original 1959 Disney cartoon.

'We've respected the classic, we've tried to bring you what you love about the story,' she said in a promotional video. 'We also hope to hope to bring a world that you've never seen before.

'It's a very beautiful story, and I think it is very different from what people are going to expect.
