Angelina Jolie turned heads at the 2024 Governors Awards with her 16-year-old son, Knox. The mother-son duo made a rare public appearance at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood, and wowed the audience with their coordinated outfits.
Knox, who looked dapper in a classic tuxedo, drew attention for his resemblance to his father Brad Pitt. Towering over her mother, the teen perfectly complemented Jolie’s dazzling gold and silver gown.
Jolie and Knox shared a lighthearted moment on the red carpet, laughing and posing for photos. Known for bringing her daughters to such events, Jolie’s decision to attend with Knox surprised and delighted fans.
The evening also highlighted Angelina Jolie’s latest project, Maria. The biopic, directed by Pablo Larraín, tells the story of opera legend Maria Callas. Jolie’s performance has received widespread praise, and the film, which earned standing ovations at film festivals, is already being seen as a strong contender for the upcoming Oscars.
Jolie, known for her dedication to transformative roles, looked delighted as she discussed the film with guests. It marks a significant milestone in her career, with Maria establishing herself as one of the year’s standout biopics.
The Governors Awards, often seen as the first major milestone of awards season, features an impressive lineup of Hollywood stars. Celebrities like Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Daniel Craig, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Lawrence graced the event. The glamorous affair brought together A-listers, all promoting their latest projects and connecting with fans.
Jolie and Knox mingled with other attendees including Pamela Anderson, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman and Elizabeth Olsen. The event provided a platform for actors and filmmakers to showcase their work before the highly competitive awards season.
The personal life of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt remains a topic of interest. The former couple, who have six children, are still engaged in a lengthy legal battle stemming from their 2016 divorce. Reports suggest that his case may not be solved until 2025.
In recent years, Jolie has accused Pitt of physical and verbal abuse, most notably during a private jet incident. Meanwhile, Knox and her children, including her twin sister Vivienne, have reportedly distanced themselves from their father. Some have even dropped their last name in favor of their mother’s surname.
An insider tells Life & Style that Pitt has struggled with the separation from his children. “Brad has always considered L.A. his home,” the source said. “This is where his production company is based, and he wanted to provide stability for his children. But sadly, he rarely sees them these days, which is heartbreaking for him.
