Happy couple: Jennifer Aniston smiled for the cameras as she walked the red carpet alongside fiance Justin Theroux at the 85th Academy Awards in Hollywood on Sunday.

The svelte star couldn't keep back the smiles as she walked alongside her main squeeze in a tight bodice and full skirted gown that accentuated her flawless figure.

While she's never been nominated for an Oscar herself, the former Friends star has been a frequent guest of the awards programme for over a decade, having attended solo and on the arm of her former husband Brad Pitt.
