Zahara Jolie-Pitt has grown up right before our eyes.
Did you know that she now wears her famous mom's previously worn dresses at red carpet
premieres?
Keep watching to see how else Zahara has transformed over the years.
In 2009, Angelina Jolie took her then 4-year-old daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt back to Ethiopia
for the first time since her adoption.
According to a "close family friend" who was interviewed by People, the mission of the
trip was to keep the culture in Zahara's mind and to find a location for a clinic that would
be named after Zahara and dedicated to AIDS and tuberculosis.
Ensuring that Zahara has a connection to her culture is something that Angelina seems to
have always encouraged not only for Zahara but for all of her children.
Angelina takes the whole family on trips to Europe, Asia, and Africa together so that
all of the children can learn about their own culture and their siblings' different
backgrounds.
Plus, all the children are homeschooled by teachers who speak different languages and
have ties to different religions and backgrounds.
In 2021, Angelina had this to say about her daughter in a 2020 Time 100 Talk:
"[Zahara] is my family, but she is an extraordinary African woman and her connection to her country,
her continent, is her own, and it's something [that she can] only stand back in awe of."
In 2016, Zahara Jolie-Pitt voiced Meng Meng, one of the rambunctious triplet baby pandas,
in Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda 3.
"I'm Ku Ku."
"I'm Meng Meng."
"I'm Shuai Shuai."
She also did some uncredited work in Angelina Jolie's film Maleficent in 2014 and appeared
in an episode of VH1: All Access as herself in 2006.
It's been a while since the young Zahara took to the screen, leaving many to wonder if she's
considering acting as a future career move.
At the Oscars in 2020, Brad Pitt was asked how he'd feel if any of his kids wanted to
pursue acting.
Pitt responded:
"I want them to follow their passions, whatever they're most interested in ... but sure, why
not."
While it seems that several of the Jolie-Pitt kids have had small parts here and there,
Angelina hasn't been able to convince any of them to appear with her in any of her other
movies as of yet.
As Angelina told People in 2019,
"I tried.
None of my kids want to be actors.
[They're into] business, humanitarian affairs, things like that.
Nobody was interested!"
In 2019, Zahara Jolie-Pitt partnered with jeweler Robert Procop to create "The Zahara
Collection," which sold at Saks Fifth Avenue locations as well as other retail stores around
the U.S. and Australia.
Zahara unveiled her jewelry line at the premiere of Angelina Jolie's movie Maleficent: Mistress
of Evil in 2019 where she wore dangly three-jeweled earrings, a matching ring on her right hand,
and a simple, yet elegant, bracelet on her left wrist — all of which were 18-carat
gold.
Designer Procop has previously worked with Angelina on her "Style of Jolie" collection
in 2010.
In keeping with her mother's example, the proceeds from Zaraha's collection were said
to benefit the House of Ruth Shelters, which provide housing for battered women and children.
Although it seems clear that the Jolie-Pitt bunch are a pretty tight-knit group of siblings
— Zahara Jolie-Pitt seems to be particularly close with her sister, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.
According to Life & Style, Zahara and her younger sister, Shiloh, are "very close" and,
while Shiloh "gets along with all her siblings," she always seeks Zahara out for fashion advice.
The two seem to bond over a mutual interest in fashion.
Some may speculate that the two are tight merely due to their closeness in age and familial
bond, but it doesn't seem to be so simple.
They seem genuinely close, as they are usually photographed standing next to each other and
have been seen shopping together.
Not only do the sisters seem to enjoy each other's company, but they also appear to truly
love each other.
This was evident in 2020 when both girls took turns undergoing surgeries and helped care
for the other while they recovered.
In keeping with her mother's wish to maintain a connection to her cultural roots, at the
end of 2019, Zahara Jolie-Pitt returned to the country where she was born to welcome
in the new year with her mother and three of her siblings — Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.
While there, Zahara also got to meet her birth country's first female president, Sahle-Work
Zewde.
Zahara, Shiloh, and Angelina even had the opportunity to sit down and talk with the
president herself.
At the talk, they discussed Ethiopian culture, education, women's access to sanitary napkins,
equal access to education, and continuing efforts to treat tuberculosis within Ethiopia.
Since 2009, Angelina has provided funds through the Zahara Program in partnership with the
Global Health Committee and the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health to treat and combat
drug-resistant TB in Ethiopia.
According to People, this work has led to "continuing success in treating people with
TB in the region."
In 2021, Zahara Jolie-Pitt showed she's not afraid to wear hand-me-downs when she wore
her mother's dress from 2014 at the Eternals premiere.
The Elie Saab Couture dress originally worn by Angelina Jolie at the 2014 Academy Awards
is a long-sleeved floor-length number in shimmering silver.
While the dress has already been seen before, we're loving the fact that such a gorgeous
dress was put to good use once more!
And Zahara most definitely made it work.
"She's growing up so beautifully."
Zahara has always been the Jolie-Pitt child known for killing it with her style.
Perhaps, she'll go into fashion — which will enable her to put the French language
she's reportedly been learning during the pandemic, according to Hello!, to good use.
Likely with Zahara's advice, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt also wore one of mom's old dresses to the
premiere of Eternals.
Shiloh donned a beige mid-length dress with an asymmetrical hemline, a dress originally
worn by Angelina on a summer 2021 trip to Paris.
She completed the look with white flats and double anklets.
Whether it's fashion or humanitarian work she pursues, it seems likely that Zahara Jolie-Pitt
will have a bright future.
