She accessorised with pearl earrings and peep-toe heels, with her hair styled in a chic chignon.

It must be one of the more nerve-wracking occasions to decide what to wear for, but Angelina Jolie made the perfect sartorial choice to collect her honorary damehood from the Queen this morning.

Jolie is a well known fan of the brand, which is helmed by Australian couple Tamara Ralph, the designer, and Michael Russo, CEO, but based in London. She has worn their designs for numerous high-profile occasions, as have celebrities including Beyoncé, for whom they have created custom stage costumes, and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

Last year Ralph & Russo, which was founded in 2007, became the first British brand in almost 100 years to be invited by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture to show at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.
