Angelia Jolie got a special tribute from Queen Elizabeth II and her new hubby this week!

While walking with his family at an airport on Thursday, Brad Pitt sported a white T-shirt with what appeared to be a hand-drawn picture of Maleficent, the horned Disney villain his wife played in a live-action film released this past summer.

The two were photographed a day before the U.K. monarch made the 39-year-old actress an honorary Dame, at a ceremony in Buckingham Palace in London. Jolie was honored for her work in helping to fight sexual violence and for services to United Kingdom foreign policy.

Jolie, a United Nations Special Envoy, and former Foreign Secretary William Hague had co-founded the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative with in 2012. In June, they co-chaired the End Sexual Violence in Conflict summit in London.

The artist of the illustration on Pitt's shirt remains a mystery. And he has worn a top with a drawing that is just as adorable.

In July, Pitt was seen sporting a T-shirt with a doodle of him and Jolie, believed to have been created by their daughter Vivienne, who is now 6 years old and who also appears in Maleficent. He wore the same shirt in June as well.

Jolie wed Pitt in August, wearing an Atelier Versace wedding dress and silk veil decorated with embroidered, colorful drawings created by Vivienne and the couple's other five children—the child's twin brother Knox, plus Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, and Shiloh, 8.

Maleficent, a live-action prequel to Disney's 1959 animated classic film Sleeping Beauty, was released in May. Jolie wore prosthetics on her face to play the villain. She talked about her makeup regimen in an interview with E! News that month.

Maleficent and made more than $709 million worldwide—more than six times its estimated budget. 

"I've never done anything this big," Jolie, who is best known for femme fatale roles in action films such as Wanted and Tomb Raider and who won an Oscar for playing a mental patient in Girl, Interrupted, told E! News.

"I'm not really a theater actress and I'm not a comedian," she said. "I had to decide to just play and really do my best to just think of the fans and try to entertain and be silly and be what they needed me to be."
