The family of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has long been known for its diversity.
Aside from half being adopted from countries around the world, they have recently grown
into their own identities.
For instance, “Hola!” magazine called Zahara Jolie-Pitt a Jolie "fashion mini-me",
while son Pax Jolie-Pitt was described by The Sun as Jolie's "shadow" and "quite protective"
of his mom.
As for daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, Brad told Oprah Winfrey in 2008,
"She only wants to be called John.
John or Peter.
So it's a Peter Pan thing."
Despite Shiloh's choice of name, Angelina told the Daily Mail at the time that she and
Brad didn't read into it much.
She summed the situation up by saying,
"I don't think it's for the world to interpret anything.
She likes to dress like a boy and wants her hair cut like a boy and she wanted to be called
John for a while."
In addition to her fluidity of names, Shiloh has been documented by fashion blogs over
the years for choosing androgynous clothes and haircuts.
That's why Shiloh's appearance at October 18's premiere of Marvel Studios' "Eternals"
came as something of a surprise.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt donned a dress on the red carpet for the first time whilst attending
the premiere for "Eternals" alongside her superstar mother.
With her trademark pixie cut grown out and worn in a bun, Shiloh looked effortlessly
chic in a tan, asymmetrically hemmed spaghetti-strapped dress and white flats.
Quite the departure from her days of sporting bow ties in public, the teenager also rocked
dainty gold bracelets on both ankles as she posed for photos with her mom and siblings.
Jolie, one of the ensemble film's stars, told Vanity Fair in 2010 that Shiloh's androgynous
sense of fashion back then reminded her of herself at that age.
Revealing she dresses Shiloh, quote, "like a little dude," Jolie said she think's Shiloh's
style is representative of the trends in Montenegro.
She said,
"It's how people dress there.
She likes tracksuits, she likes [regular] suits.
She likes to dress like a boy.
She wants to be a boy.
So we had to cut her hair.
She likes to wear boys' everything.
She thinks she's one of the brothers."
As for her father, Brad Pitt, a source told Entertainment Tonight in 2020 as Shiloh turned
14 that he, quote, "loves that she always stays true to herself."
As the first biological child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has
remained a constant fixture in the public eye since her birth in 2006.
It was that year that both Brad and Angelina decided to switch up their strategy for dealing
with the paparazzi — something they've continued to look at differently as they started to
have kids.
"Their idea of the world is, when we get in the car and we're going out, that there's
20 or 30 people there standing with cameras.
They want to take your picture.
This is their idea of the world at large."
Knowing that the media would be hounding "Brangelina" down in light of their firstborn, the two
A-list stars retreated to the African country of Namibia, where Shiloh was born.
Being the firstborn child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, of course Shiloh Jolie-Pitt's
arrival in the world would be groundbreaking — not just in terms of parenthood for Brangelina,
but also for the paparazzi, who were obsessed with the couple at the height of their romantic
popularity.
Well aware that the price for his daughter's baby pictures would be astronomical, Pitt
told the outlet that they wanted to use the opportunity to help shine a light on an impoverished
country.
He said,
"Knowing that someone was going to hound us for that first photo — and was going to
profit immensely for doing it — I just couldn't live with it.
We were able to turn that around and collect millions for people who are really going to
need it."
According to a 2009 report from Forbes, Shiloh's baby pictures retailed at around $4.1 million
at the time of her birth, which the couple then distributed entirely to African charities.
Despite such a high price, Shiloh's baby pictures ranked third on the outlet's list of most
expensive baby pics.
Who took the top spot?
It was Shiloh's twin siblings, Vivienne & Knox!
The two were born in 2008 and their baby pictures combined reportedly cost somewhere between
$11 and $15 million.
Per CNN, the earnings were likewise donated to the Jolie-Pitt foundation.
