Eclectic: Jada Pinkett Smith and daughter Willow stole the show at the Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted New York Première earlier this evening

The unusual outfit was completed with a baggy Star Wars T-shirt, a bright red hat and some chunky trainers.
Jada, 40, sported a glitzy gold Salvatore Ferragamo dress with black strappy Jimmy Choo heels and happily posed for photographer with her daughter almost reaching the same height.
Mother and daughter were joined by Will Smith, who looked particularly dapper in a three piece grey suit and black and white spotted tie.

However, the family were missing Willow's older brother Jaden, 13, who is also an actor.
Jada reprises her role of Gloria the hippo in the animated movie series which sees popular characters Alex the lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the zebra and Melman the giraffe reunite in a European flavour adventure.
Willow has also had her part in the franchise - voicing the young Gloria in the 2008 movie Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.

The new film Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, sees the characters continue in their struggle to get home to New York, where their journey ends up taking them through Europe where they join a travelling circus. 
And Jada has enjoyed returning to the franchise, recently telling S2S magazine, that going back to Gloria was like: 'Putting on an old jacket, shirt or a pair of old slippers that you are just very familiar with. So it’s not difficult at all.'
'Gloria's a lot of girl and she loves it. I try to give her that sass and that swag. It’s not necessarily talking about it, but sometimes just showing it. It’s about how you look at yourself and how you carry yourself.'

Tonight also saw new cast member Jessica Chastain join in the red carpet fun, posing with larger than life cuddly versions of Alex the lion and Sipper the penguin on the carpet.
The Help actress looked stunning in a strapless Yves St Laurent dress and belt, which she teamed with a pair of black heels.
