The high glamour of Hollywood was traded for the fast fashion of Oxford Street as Angelina Jolie made an unlikely appearance at a popular high street clothes shop on Tuesday. The Gone In 60 Seconds actress was joined by daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 13, for an impromptu visit to the central London branch of H&M, where they were surrounded by stunned shoppers. With her instantly recognisable features concealed behind a precautionary face covering, Angelina, 46, browsed the budget rails for some affordable apparel while Vivienne remained by her side. The actress wore a monochrome houndstooth coat while making her way around the three-level store, a popular destination for fashion conscious teenagers and shoppers constrained to tight budgets due to its accessible prices.Fortunately Angelina, whose net worth is estimated to be $120million, had no cause to watch the purse strings as she paid for a range of items selected by her teenage daughter, her youngest biological child with ex Brad Pitt. Vivienne looked relaxed in a casual white T-shirt and grey joggers, while her own face covering remained firmly in place as she followed her mother around the packed store. Angelina is a mother to six children in total; adopted sons Maddox, 20, and Pax, 17, and adopted daughter Zahara, 16, as well as Shiloh, 15, and twins Knox and Vivienne from her former marriage to fellow actor Brad Pitt. Star-struck shoppers looked on as the celebrated actress draped a protective arm around Vivienne, who looked mildly startled by the attention their visit to the store inevitably generated. Angelina appeared to be taking a short break from her promotional commitments after arriving in London via Italy, where she attended the 16th Rome Film Festival premiere of her new film Eternals on Sunday evening.Eternals is a 2021 Marvel film based on the fictional race of humanoids of the same name which appears in the American comic books. The film sees the Eternals, an immortal alien race, come out of hiding for thousands of years to protect Earth from their evil counterparts, the Deviants.The movie, which premiered in Los Angeles earlier this month and then in Rome on Sunday evening, stars Angelina as elite warrior Thena and Gemma as the character Sersi.Earlier this month, Angelina said the diversity in the cast is 'how it always should have been.' The actress appears as part of a superhero ensemble featuring queer characters, people of colour and deaf actress Lauren Ridloff.She told Variety: 'What's really quite stunning is that when we walked out all of us together, it didn't feel like: "This is so new and cool," it felt like: "This is how it always should have been." Why did it take so long? It felt so right'.She was asked why she feels it takes so long, and while she has 'many things' to say on the subject, she focused on the idea that people should watch the film without actually focusing on its 'diversity.' She added: 'I could say many things, and I could go on for a while, but I think...it is so good to just bust a hole right in that...'The star argued: 'What I hope is that when people watch this film, they're not seeing it and saying: "Oh, this is a film about diversity. This is a film that shows this person can be a superhero." 'They'll just say: "Well of course that person's a superhero, and of course that person also is. Of course."' 'And more shame on us for every questioning that they couldn't be because: "Of course."'The film - which is set to hit the big screen next month - is written and directed by Nomadland filmmaker Chloe Zhao. As well as Angelina, Gemma and Ridloff, the cast of heroes also features Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee and Salma Hayek. Meanwhile, Kit Harington will feature as Dane Whitman, also known as the Black Knight. Eternals, which features a score by Ramin Djawadi of Game Of Thrones fame, will get a wide theatrical release on November 5.
