Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt’s Daughter Shiloh, 18, Divided Fans with Her Looks in Photos – Her Transformation

When Angelina Jolie and fellow star Brad Pitt first welcomed their daughter, Shiloh Jolie, her birth caused quite a stir. Shiloh had been born in the town of Swakopmund, Namibia, and fans were filled with excitement.

People exclusively shared the official birth photos, and the news franchise also covered the length and breadth of the story. Shiloh was born on May 27, 2006, joining siblings Maddox, Pax, and Zahara. Here’s a look through her young life so far.

Brad had been right beside his now ex-wife when they first had their daughter. Although she already had siblings, Shiloh was her parents’ first biological child.

According to Angelina’s brother, James Haven, it was overwhelming to see how Brad and his sister doted on their newborn daughter. Shiloh already had her dad’s eye color at birth, but the pouty lips were unmistakably her mother’s.

James had visited the hospital in Namibia alongside Angelina’s oldest child, Maddox, who immediately launched into big brother mode. Maddox was said to have imitated his dad while carrying little Shiloh. The actress had particularly prepared him for his little sister’s arrival, and he understood what was happening.

Even the children’s grandparents got involved as Brad’s parents, Bill and Jane Pitt, flew to Namibia to get the first look at their granddaughter. Angelina’s mom, Marcheline Bertrand, also expressed her happiness about the arrival.

Angelina’s Twins Are Born

Two years after Shiloh entered the world, her younger siblings Knox and Vivienne joined the big blended family. The twins, delivered by Dr. Michael Sussman, were born via C-section, just like Shiloh.

Brad maintained his position as an unwavering supporter, giving Angelina all the strength she needed to usher in their twin boy and girl. According to Michael, the pair were born healthy, weighing 5.03 lbs and 5lbs.

Once speaking about her kids in a Vanity Fair exclusive, Angelina gushed over Shiloh, noting that she was “hysterically funny” and is one of the most playful people. She also spoke of Maddox’s intellect and Zahara’s beautiful voice.

Watching her daughter, the “Salt” actress could decipher how much they were alike. She stated that she was much like Shiloh while growing up, sharing that her daughter was “Goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer. I used to get dressed up in costumes and jump around.”

At another time, the star stated that Shiloh physically looked like her dad. However, she sweetly spoke of the youngster’s features, noting that she could be the “family’s outcast.” This was due to the child’s blonde and blue eyes.

In the same interview, Angelina shared some of her reservations about her blended family. She recalled initially not wanting a biological child after adoption. However, after seeing Brad with Zahara and Maddox, she knew a biological child would not be a threat.

She stated, “Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born. But I’m conscious that I have to make sure I don’t ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable.”

Shiloh’s Formative Years

The Jolie-Pitt family has created an unstifled environment for their kids to express themselves through their preferences, fashion, or careers. This is evident in Shiloh, and even when she was still a child, her parents let her be expressive.

Brad revealed, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey when he talked about family life, that there was a time when his daughter wanted to be called “John.” He stated that the little one wanted to be called John or Peter, a wish that was respected.

The actor added that Shiloh’s preference was “a Peter Pan thing.” Aside from being called John, she also loved to dress like a boy. Angela once stated that the young girl also wanted to cut her hair like a boy.

The star mom noted that it was not for anyone to interpret because Shiloh was in a phase where she looked up to her big brothers’ styles. However, she added that the little girl’s exploration surprised the family, and they found it interesting.

The award-winning actress included a summary of what Shiloh’s typical look was. She highlighted ties, jackets, and slacks. The doting mom stated that her daughter “thinks she is one of her brothers.”

Angelina reiterated that she was fascinated by her daughter’s choices, but she would never force her to be someone she is not. To her, that would just be “bad parenting.”

Shiloh’s Relationship with Her Parents

Shiloh has undoubtedly grown into a delight for her parents, and even after the divorce, she stays close to them. Brad is incredibly proud of how she has stayed true to herself.

The couple had quite a tumultuous divorce period, but it didn’t affect their relationship with the kids. An insider stated that Brad was proud of his daughter and “who she has become.”

The insider further explained that the “Troy” star held fatherhood as the highest priority. For Brad, the kids are most important. He reportedly often tells his friends about how he learns so much from his brood.

Shiloh’s Red Carpet Fashion Evolution

Fans witnessed a whole new look from Shiloh Jolie in 2021 when she attended the “Eternals” premiere in Los Angeles with her family. Her strong resemblance to her mother resonated in a tank dress with ballet sandals.

This was in contrast to her previous red carpet appearances, where she stepped out in slacks. Shiloh looked lovely with her hair pulled back while posing with all her siblings except Pax, who had been absent.

The spectacular dress was worn by Angelina in 2019 when she attended a global press conference for “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.” The star has described her daughter’s style as androgynous.

The “Lara Croft” star coined a new word for Shiloh’s style, describing it as “Montenegro.” She noted that the teenager dresses like “a little dude,” fancying tracksuits and regular suits.

Shiloh Jolie is now 18 years old, and aside from her evolving fashion sense, she has also shown interest in dancing. She has been featured in a few of Hamilton Evans’s choreographies.

Interestingly, Brad Pitt once said that dance would be in his future, but since he never got to pursue it, he has watched his daughter get better at it each time. The actor also added that he has not had to invest time in dancing for a movie, but he finds himself dancing a lot in his general life.

In the summer of 2023, Shiloh Jolie debuted a new summer hairdo. She was seen rocking a pink buzz cut while catching up with a friend at Erewhon in Studio City. The teenager wore a black T-shirt, denim jeans, and sneakers with a black bag.

Many fans loved her new look and pointed out how much she resembled her parents. “Shiloh looks like a female version of Brad Pitt,” remarked a commenter. Another said Shiloh’s buzz cut made her look like Pitt when he was in the film “Mr and Mrs Smith,” but with Angelina’s “mouth shape.”

Several more netizens said Shiloh looked more like her father than her mother. But her features had many people divided as another X user said, “Shiloh Jolie Pitt looks exactly like Angelina Jolie.”

Shiloh Spotted Going to Dance Class

On February 17, 2025, Shiloh, who dropped her father’s last name in recent years, showed how much she’s grown and changed when she was seen heading to her Studio City dance class in California. At the time, she was wearing baggy jeans, a “Scarface” hoodie, and Nike sneakers.

She carried a black backpack and smiled at one point during the Los Angeles outing. Angelina’s daughter appeared to want to go unnoticed with her blond hair covered by her hoodie and no makeup. The sighting happened nearly two months after her mother, 49, and Brad, 61, finally settled their bitter divorce.

Shiloh’s famous parents met while working together in 2005’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” At the time, Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston, but they divorced later that year. He and Angelina got engaged in 2012 and tied the knot two years later.

Angelina ended up filing for divorce in September 2015 after their second wedding anniversary.
