First Julia Roberts, then Drew Barrymore and now Hilary Swank has become the latest Hollywood star to fall prey to the hairy-armpits-on-the-red-carpet faux pas.

While the double Oscar winner evidently looked stunning in a gold Calvin Klein bustier dress, her overall look was let down by her tufty underarms.The 36-year-old made the grooming error as she joined her contemporaries at Elle Magazine's Women in Hollywood Tribute party at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles.

All that glitters: Hilary Swank poses on the red carpet as she arrives at Elle Magazine's Women in Hollywood Tribute gala in Los Angeles last night

Oops: Swank appeared to forget to waxBut perhaps after a busy few weeks jetting around the U.S. and Europe promoting her new film Conviction, the need to wax may have just slipped her mind.

Swank is the latest in a list of famous women who have bared their hairy pits on the red carpet, including Beyonce and Danielle Lineker.

Eat, Pray, Love star Julia famously showed off hers at the 1999 London premiere of Notting Hill, while Barrymore also displayed some hair at a Marc Jacobs fashion show five years ago.

Other celebrities at last night's event included Gwyneth Paltrow, Jake Gyllenhaal, Kate Hudson, Diane Kruger and Goldie Hawn.

On Friday, Swank appeared at the London Film Festival premiere of her latest film Conviction.

Conviction is based on the true story of unemployed single mother Betty Anne Waters, who fought to exonerate her brother Kenneth Waters, after he was convicted of the 1980 murder of Katharina Brow.

After Kenneth was convicted, Betty Anne put herself through law school and utilised DNA testing to prove her brother was innocent.He was eventually released 18 years later, but died six months later from head injuries following a fall.

Talking point: Swank cosies up to Jake Gyllenhaal

Swank herself admitted when she first heard the story of the Waters family, she couldn't believe it was true.

She said: 'There's a part of you that has to be like, "This could never happen". And then you realise that it is happening.'

However, the film has created controversy with the grown-up children of the victim Mrs Brow expressing their 'disappointment and anger' they weren't consulted over the movie.

Melrose and Charlie Brow said through their lawyer: 'We believe that a proper respect for the murder victim’s family should have been shown.

'That could have been demonstrated by the film’s representatives contacting the family to learn how they felt about the making of a film which would remind them of the terrible pain and suffering that they endured because of the loss of their mother.

'In response, the film's three producers issued a statement, saying: 'We have the deepest compassion and sympathy for the family of Katharina Brow. (The screening) will no doubt answer many of their questions surrounding the unthinkable and horrific tragedy that befell their mother.'
