Angelina Jolie pulled out all the stops last week for a lavish dinner to celebrate the Sarajevo premiere of her Bosnian war drama In the Land of Blood and Honey.
The actress-turned-director hosted the banquet with partner Brad Pitt for the Bosnian team who worked on the film.
The mother-of-six had looked elegant in a flowing and demure black gown with her hair styled into a simple up 'do as she took to the red carpet earlier in the evening.
But at 5ft 8in, Ms Jolie who should weigh between 9st and 11½st, appeared super slim as, according to reports, her weight has recently slipped to about 7st.

The five course dinner menu, prepared by the Bristol Hotel where the superstar couple stayed, featured bruschetta with chicken liver pate; red trout fillet with black and red rice and fennel; veal filet with three kind of herbs; a traditional Bosnian dish called kadun butic consisting of three types of minced meat on a cinnamon stick, and a dessert trio of hazelnut cremino, raspberry cheese cake and tartufo nero.
In the Land of Blood and Honey actor Fedja Stukan who dined at Pitt and Jolie's table gushed: 'I must admit that I never had better tasting food! Angelina and Brad agreed with me.'
Jolie and Pitt paid their compliments to the staff at the end of the meal: 'They thanked them for wonderful hospitality and tasty food,' a staffer told Us magazine. 'Jolie tasted a little bit of everything,' he added.

The actress has previously spoken about her weight loss, saying she was unable to eat after her mother Marcheline died from cancer in 2007.Meanwhile it was recently revealed that ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton is set to make a film about their relationship.
Producer Alexander Rodnyansky confirmed to Variety magazine that Billy Bob is co-writing and directing a movie based on his wild and well-documented relationship with the actress.
The film called, And Then We Drove, is described as an 'ethereal road movie' and will shoot 'sometime this year.'
Billy Bob said the film is about: 'a guy who's on a road trip and picks up this girl along the way, and what happens to them. It's about the question of life: "What is this? Where do I fit in?"'
Lavish banquet: Staff at the dinner say Angelina tried 'a bit of everything'
Angelina married Billy Bob in 2000 in Vegas after going public with their relationship just two months earlier.
Their bond was often documented in the media because of their bizarre behaviour which included wearing vials of their blood around their necks.
Set against the backdrop of the Bosnian war, In the Land of Blood and Honey tells the story of a Bosnian Serbian soldier Danijel (Goran Kostić), who comes across former love Ajla (Zana Marjanović), a Bosnian woman who is now a captive in the military prison camp he oversees.
The actress revealed her directorial experience on the movie helped her appreciate film again, after 'becoming disheartened,' with the medium.

She said: 'This film has taught me to love film again because I see what film can do and I see and I am re-inspired because I was not feeling very inspired as an actress. I was feeling very disheartened.
'I came to this film not because I wanted to be a director, I came to this film because the more I researched, the more I learned, the more angry I got.'
Angelina said she hoped the film was a 'wake-up call' for the international community to pay more attention to atrocities and act to prevent them in countries such as Syria, where a government crackdown has killed thousands in the past year.
