Shiloh Jolie, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s 18-year-old daughter was recently spotted in Los Angeles on her way to dance class, accompanied by a close friend. Sporting a sleek pixie cut, Shiloh paired her bold new hairstyle with a practical headband, keeping her blonde locks out of her face during class. The outing follows recent photos of her siblings, Knox and Vivienne, preparing for Thanksgiving.
Shiloh kept it casual in black sweatpants, a printed hoodie, and sneakers, accessorized with a black backpack. She appeared cheerful and confident, embracing her bold pixie cut—a sharp departure from her previous long hairstyle. Her friend walking beside her added a sporty vibe with a cropped top and laid-back attitude.
Angelina Jolie has always supported her children’s individuality, including Shiloh’s passion for dance. In a 2010 interview with Reuters, the actress and director stressed the importance of allowing kids to express themselves freely: ‘Kids should be allowed to express themselves however they wish without fear of judgment, as it’s a vital part of their growth.’ This supportive approach has guided all six of her children, encouraging them to follow their unique paths.
Unbothered by photographers, Shiloh and her friend strolled confidently into the Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles. Known as a top-tier studio, it has welcomed icons like Britney Spears, Katy Perry, and Jennifer Lopez. Shiloh has been attending classes here for years, further honing her dance skills in a world-renowned setting.
Angelina Jolie, a proud mom
In a bold move to assert her individuality, Shiloh legally dropped her father’s last name after turning 18, officially becoming Shiloh Jolie. The court-approved change in August marked a significant milestone for the young adult. While her siblings have also opted to use the ‘Jolie’ name informally, Shiloh’s decision is the only legal adjustment in the family so far.
Shiloh’s decision reflects a trend among her siblings. Vivienne, who recently co-produced The Outsiders with Angelina, also uses the name Vivienne Jolie. At the same time, Zahara, now a student at Spelman College and a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, proudly introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie at a recent ceremony.
