Hollywood meets the Ritchies

Suits you, spouse: The Ritchies show off

Madonna and Guy Ritchie made their first public appearance together as husband and wife at the Los Angeles première of his film Snatch.

Although it was supposed to be the director's big night out, his spouse stole the show by donning a jacket with the words "Mrs Ritchie" emblazoned on the rear.

A kiss for the cameras

Snatch, Ritchie's second film, has had mixed reviews in the US. It has taken over £12m since opening in the UK in September 2000.

Also at the première were the film's stars, Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones.

Brad Pitt, who also appears in it, was away working on a new film, but his wife Jennifer Aniston and ex-fiancée Gwyneth Paltrow were also there.

Troubled actor Robert Downey Jr, who is facing drug possession charges, also attended.
