Angelina Jolie’s Kids: Each Time Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne And Knox Won The Red Carpet

From the the satin and sheer slip dresses of the Nineties and the leg-popping Atelier Versace moment of 2012 Oscars to the Saint Laurent deconstructed tuxedo at the 2014 BAFTA Awards, and her appearances wearing spookily embellished gowns for the Maleficent 2 publicity tour, Jolie knows how to command a red carpet camera like no other.

Becoming a mother to her six children though changed Jolie’s stance on style. In a December 2023 interview with WSJ. Magazine, Jolie admitted: ‘My daughter tells me I wear too many trench coats. And I know there are certain things they wouldn’t want me to wear. I think I stopped wearing certain things when I had teenagers.’

It’s not unusual for the actress to bring along her brood of discerning children to premieres, award ceremonies and charity galas either. And it looks like several of her children also have their eyes set on Hollywood.

In August 2022, the Oscar-winner revealed to People that she’d hired her sons to work on a new film Without Blood, based on a 2002 novel by Alessandro Barrico.

‘We work well together,’ Jolie told the news outlet. When a film crew is at its best, it feels like a big family, so it felt natural.’

Pax and Maddox are reportedly working in the assistant director department, meaning they’ll work next to Jolie, who is directing the film. Jolie said Pax has ‘worked hard’ on the film. He and Maddox also worked with Jolie on 2017 drama First They Killed My Father and Maddox also helped out on 2015 romance drama By The Sea.

In April 2021, Jolie spoke about how she navigates her career while raising her children, who she co-parents with her ex husband Brad Pitt following their 2016 separation. Jolie said she is more selective about the projects she chooses and has opted more for acting work rather than directing because this allows her to spend more time with her family.

‘I love directing, but I had a change in my family situation that’s not made it possible for me to direct for a few years,’ the actor told Entertainment Weekly. ‘I needed to just do shorter jobs and be home more, so I kind of went back to doing a few acting jobs. That’s really the truth of it.’

A month later, she described her brood as ‘cool people’. ‘We’re such a team so I am very, very lucky,’ Jolie told E!’s Daily Pop. ‘I’m always the one who worries but I don’t worry about them. They’re cool people.’

In May 2021 the actor opened up to Lorraine Kelly on her ITV show about how she’s spent more time at home in recent years, noting: ‘The last few years I haven’t been able to direct. I’ve been home much more. I’ve done a few films but I’ve been mostly been home.

‘They’re very important years to be home. It’s a certain time for our family when I’ve needed to be home but these are the years when they’re really growing into adults. I’m happy to be there and try to make sure… I do the best that I can.’

Here are all the times Angelina Jolie’s kids have scrubbed up, won the red carpet and showed off their street style credentials just like their mother always has, with a brief introduction to the large family.

Angelina Jolie’s children

Angelina Jolie has six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne.

On November 5, 2022, Jolie posted photos with her daughter Zahara at the Brooklyn Museum. The mother-daughter duo visited the Death to the Living: Long Live Trash exhibition, by the artist Duke Riley.

The event is designed to draw attention to marine pollution, a subject Jolie is passionate about. The artist showed them around, giving the pair an intimate tour of his creations.

At the time, Jolie was wearing a long black coat styled with boots and a large brown leather bag, and her daughter a long-sleeved black T-shirt and jeans.

The actor captioned the photos: ‘Z and I went to see the @dukerileystudio exhibition at the Brooklyn museum.

‘In Duke’s latest show at the Brooklyn Museum, DEATH TO THE LIVING, Long Live Trash, his reinterpretations of maritime folk art – made using trash removed from the ocean – expose plastic pollution that, along with climate change and habitat loss, are pushing our oceanic ecosystems to collapse.’

She shared photos of the art, which included paintings, sculptures and repurposed plastic objects.

On October 22, 2022, Jolie was pictured visiting Zahara at college, after announcing that her daughter would be going to the highly ranked institution in August, and dropping her off on campus in the same month.

Jolie was seen on the Atlanta, Georgia, campus with Zahara, and students and alumni shared photos of the mother-daughter duo during the school’s homecoming weekend.

In an accompanying caption, she wrote: ‘Congratulations to all new students starting this year. A very special place and an honour to have a family member as a new Spelman girl.’

In September 2022, Jolie was pictured out on a shopping trip with her son Pax. The Maleficent star looked effortlessly smart despite going to buy dog supplies at The Urban Pet in Los Angeles.

Jolie and her son complemented each other, with the actor in a plain white T-shirt, silky high-waist wide-leg trousers and sleek flatforms. She accessorised with her go-to Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello quilted lambskin tote, dark-tinted aviator sunglasses and gold diamond jewellery.

Pax also donned a pink T-shirt, relaxed black trousers, white trainers and a baseball cap.
Their outing followed news that the 18-year-old is serving as assistant director for his mum’s upcoming film Without Blood – her firth directional project.
In August 2022, Jolie and her youngest daughter Vivienne enjoyed a bonding moment while at the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia to watch the Dear Evan Hansen broadway show.
Jolie and Vivienne posed with star Anthony Norman backstage after the performance, which were posted on the Dear Evan Hansen Instagram account.
According to People, the 47-year-old took her 14-year-old daughter to the Philadelphia show ‘just to see it again’ since Vivienne ‘loved the show so much’ when they saw it for the first time in Los Angeles.
