It is their first movie together since 2005’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which they fell in love on the set of.

The 40-year-old actress was quick to point out that the story – about a couple whose marriage is on the brink of collapse – is not based on their own relationship.

Speaking to The Today Show recently, Angelina said: ‘I'm counting on the audience to know that if it was close to us at all, we could never make this film.

'It's because we're actually very, very stable and these aren't our issues.’

A new trailer for the 1970s set drama was released on Friday, but doesn’t give too much away.

With no dialogue, the clip still shows plenty of tense moments between the volatile characters, with Roland (Brad) getting aggressive and Vanessa (Angelina) popping pills.

By The Sea will be released in the US on November 13 and the UK on December 11.

Accessorize like Angelina with her Goossens Paris belt

Back in the day, Angelina Jolie was known for her rock chick style. But the actress is all about chic, timeless looks nowadays.

This outfit Angie wore to a press conference to promote her new film By The Sea is the perfect case-in-point. The mink-colored pleated dress looked the height of sophistication and elegance, which she accessorized simply with a metallic belt.

That said, this is no ordinary belt. The plaited design featuring a crystal jewel clasp is by none other than Goossens Paris. Founder Robert Goossens not only had a long-standing collaboration with Coco Chanel, but also worked with everyone from Cristobal Balenciaga, to Yves Saint Laurent who started a 30-year jewelry collaboration with the house in 1976.

With Robert's son Patrick now at the helm, the jewelry line continues to be one of the most esteemed out there. Admittedly this belt does come with a rather hefty price-tag, but the beautiful craftmanship and history of the brand make it worth splashing out on. If you are on more of a budget though, just check out the similar braided styles below.
