Angelina Jolie Turns Heads with Rare Appearance of Son Knox, 16, at Star-Studded Governors Awards

Three years after his last public event, Angelina Jolie’s rarely-seen son made an appearance at an awards show, leaving fans calling him the “male version” of his mom.

Famous actress Angelina Jolie, 49, looked stunning in a beautiful gown as she attended the 2024 Governors Awards in Hollywood on November 17. However, her 16-year-old son, Knox Jolie-Pitt, grabbed attention with his striking looks. Knox, who was last seen shopping in July, had fans online admiring him.

The “Maleficent” actress wore a gorgeous halter-neck dress in gold and pale yellow. The floor-length gown featured lace details and thin straps that tied together at the back.

Angelina Jolie turned heads at the 2024 Governors Awards, accessorizing her stunning dress with glamorous diamond jewelry. She wore silver earrings with flecks of gold and a lavish necklace, completing her look with a half-up, half-down hairstyle. Loose strands framed her face, which was lightly adorned with makeup.

Knox Jolie-Pitt, her 16-year-old son, matched his mom’s elegance with a sharp black suit, white shirt, and bowtie. He completed his outfit with black dress shoes and showed off his buzz-cut hairstyle.

Photos online captured the mother-son duo walking the red carpet arm-in-arm. Knox smiled brightly in most of the pictures, while Angelina showcased a gentle smile. A TikTok video of the pair standing in front of an Oscars-themed backdrop showed Angelina beaming at Knox, a rare and heartwarming moment.

Fans online couldn’t stop praising Knox’s resemblance to his mom. Comments called him a “male version” of Angelina, with many marveling at his handsome looks. “He looks just like her,” one fan said, while others pointed out how “Jolie genes are strong,” with some noting that Knox doesn’t resemble his dad, Brad Pitt, much.

While some fans saw a mix of both parents in Knox, others leaned toward his similarity to Angelina. A few nostalgic fans commented on how much Knox and his twin sister Vivienne have grown since their birth announcement.

Knox’s red carpet appearance was his first public event in three years. His last appearance was in October 2021, at the U.K. premiere of The Eternals. He attended alongside Angelina and his siblings, including Vivienne, Shiloh, and Zahara, who wore colorful dresses, while Knox and Maddox donned stylish dark outfits.

Angelina, a devoted mom of six, often boasts about her children. In an October 2024 interview, she expressed her joy watching them grow and pursue their own projects. She described this stage of parenthood as a cherished experience.

Earlier in July, Angelina and Knox were seen on a casual shopping trip in Los Angeles, sparking more comments about Knox’s appearance. Photos showed him towering over his mom as they left a pet store, with Knox sporting a laid-back outfit and Angelina opting for a chic yet practical look.

Though Knox appears uninterested in the spotlight, he occasionally joins his siblings for outings. In 2016, Angelina shared that her kids didn’t plan to follow her into acting, though some have since participated in smaller projects, like providing voice work for Kung Fu Panda 3.

Despite their occasional public appearances, Angelina’s children largely maintain a low profile, balancing their rare moments in the public eye with private lives.
