Angelina Jolie has been photographed for the first time since giving birth to twins in July, arriving in New York on Wednesday for the premiere of her new movie.

The actress, her partner Brad Pitt and their six kids arrived in the city, ahead of Saturday's New York Film Festival screening of the Clint Eastwood-directed The Changeling.

Jolie has been staying out of the spotlight since delivering twins Knox and Vivienne in a French hospital more than two months ago.

She even avoided the prying eyes of the press when the clan relocated to Berlin, Germany last month so Pitt could start shooting Quentin Tarantino's new movie Inglorious Bastards.

But Jolie will show off her post-baby body on the red carpet on Saturday.
