Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt — we don't call them Brangelina here — aren't the most inconspicuous Power Couple [1], and they've sure become a force to be reckoned with since they hooked up in 2004.

They certainly didn't need one another to become famous, but ever since their union after co-starring in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and posing as a married couple in Steven Meisel's W Magazine Domestic Bliss spread [2], they've been unstoppable.

What I admire about this couple is their ability to channel old Hollywood glamor so effortlessly. Brad reminds me of a young Robert Redford and Angie can easily embody any sex-pot actress, say Brigitte Bardot. Of course, I'll never forget Angie's less-classy fashion choices [3], but with the power of Brad behind her, she's transformed into a sophisticated woman, a sensitive mother, and poised actress. She sometimes dresses overly mature — hello, she's a St. John model [4] — but I'll take that over goth any day. I'll bet Brad would agree.
