Skipping all the big ones: Angelina Jolie makes her return to the red carpet at the ASC Awards in dull grey dress

Last year she made her rounds in various stunning gowns during award show season.

And no one has yet forgotten the leggy showing she put on during the Oscars as she stood with husband Brad Pitt on her arm.

But ditching the mainstream ceremonies, Angelina Jolie, 37, emerged on Sunday evening at the 2013 American Society of Cinematographers Awards in Los Angeles.

Making her return at a low key red carpet event which was held at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Centre, Angelina failed to put on a glamorous offering.

Choosing to keep it very simple, Jolie wore a dark grey tailored dress which grazed her shoulders and featured ruching detail.

With her cleavage concealed, the mother-of-six attempted to add a little excitement to her ensemble by putting her slender legs on show.

Wearing her brunette hair in a slick ponytail, Angelina looked fresh faced courtesy of her natural make-up look.

Adding a hint of colour with a pair of squared amber drop earrings, Jolie strutted along in a pair of sequinned open toe heels.

Completing her plain Jane get up, the Mr. & Mrs. Smith star chose to keep her perfectly manicured nails polish free as she showed off a diamond ring.

Angelina recently opened up about her relationship with husband Brad and their life together in an interview with Total Film.

'We have a very normal, very grounded home,' she said.

'And we’re friends, and we have a laugh with our kids. We don’t pay attention to this view of ourselves...we just shut it out.'

The Girl, Interrupted actress continued: 'The great thing about having a bunch of kids is that they just remind you that you’re the person who takes them to go poop. That’s who you are!'
