Angelina Jolie Steps Out with Her Rarely Seen Son Knox, 16, at the 2024 Governors Awards – Photos

Entertainment icon Angelina Jolie, 49, looked radiant in the dress she wore to attend the 2024 Governors Awards in Hollywood on November 17. However, it was her lookalike son, Knox Jolie-Pitt, 16, who stole the show with his handsome features. The 16-year-old, who was previously spotted out shopping in July, had netizens swooning over him.

The “Maleficent” star donned a striking, thin-strapped halter neck gown that was gold and pale yellow. Her floor-length dress featured lace hemlines. In addition to its halter neck design, the gown was fastened together with straps on each side that connected in the middle of Angelina’s back.

She accessorized with glamorous diamonds, including dangling silver earrings that had flecks of gold, and an extravagant necklace.

Completing her look, Angelina fashioned her dark tresses into a half-up, half-down hairstyle, and left a few strands loosely framing her face, which was adorned with light makeup.

Matching his mother’s chicness, Knox, who is currently rocking a buzz cut, sported a classy black suit with a matching bowtie and formal white top. He paired his outfit with black dress shoes.

Online photos show the mother-son duo posing on the carpet with their arms interlinked. In most of them, Knox flashed his pearly white teeth, while Angelina showcased a more demure smile with the corners of her mouth lifting ever so slightly.

However, in a standout video that was shared on TikTok, the Award-winning actress was seen with a wide grin as she lovingly looked at her son, while they stood in front of an Oscars backdrop amid the flashing cameras.

Social media users who saw the media of Angelina and Knox marveled at the striking resemblance he shares with his mom and praised the teen’s looks. “This is like her male version 😂,” remarked an Instagrammer. Another echoed, “He looks like her,” while someone else reiterated, “Omg he looks exactly like mom.”

“He is so handsome ❤️ he looks just like her,” swooned a fan. Echoing the sentiment, a fellow admirer gushed, “He’s so beautiful just like his mother.” “Knox is going to break hearts!!!!” exclaimed another fan.

Taking the mother-son lookalike comments further, other netizens expressed how Knox looks nothing like his famous dad, Brad Pitt, with one user observing, “Wow the Jolie genes are strong in this child, I don’t see Brad at all.”

Some people directly responded to a media outlet’s post, which dubbed Knox a “young Brad Pitt.” “But…he looks almost nothing like his dad. His nose. He MIGHT have his dad’s nose,” noted a spectator, while another penned, “Not really, I don’t see Brad Pitt in his looks😳.”

On the other hand, an Instagrammer expressed, “All I see is Brad but with her lips and hair colour [sic]. He is a very handsome young man.” Some people took a more balanced approach, opining how Knox resembles both his parents.

“A perfect mix of both parents and he’s so big now,” asserted a Facebooker, while another agreed, “Looks like a handsome combination of both parents.”

A nostalgic commenter, who referenced Knox’s fraternal twin, Vivienne Jolie, wrote, “Oh man, I feel so old lol. I remember when they announced she gave birth to Knox and Vivienne. He looks like a good mix of both his parents.”

Knox’s appearance at the Governors Awards comes three years after he was last spotted at an industry event. On October 27, 2021, he, along with four of his siblings accompanied their mom to the U.K. premiere of “The Eternals” in London.

Vivienne, Shiloh, and Zahara Jolie all looked beautiful in their white, black-and-white, and yellow dresses, respectively. Meanwhile, Knox and his brother Maddox Jolie-Pitt looked dapper in their dark-colored outfits.

Knox sported a checkered blazer, graphic t-shirt, and black pants, while Maddox wore a gray suit jacket, a black button-down shirt, jeans, and spectacles.

The matriarch of the family donned a chic white top, which she covered with a jacket, and paired these items with a huge black skirt. Aside from bringing her kids along with her to industry events, Angelina has also boasted about them in interviews.

While catching up with Entertainment Tonight’s Denny Directo at the AFI Fest premiere of her film “Maria” in October, Angelina spoke about what it’s like to see her kids working on projects, some of which have been in collaboration with her.

“I love it! I love it when it’s with me or not with me, you know. They do their own thing, too, and I love them as people. It’s really nice. I think some people are even more comfortable maybe with the baby stage, I love this stage,” shared the doting mom.

She continued, “I love living this life with them, and watching them just do and be all the things that they are; uniquely different people, and yeah, very happy.”

A few months before Angelina Jolie gushed over her kids, she was seen out in public with one of them in July. She and Knox Jolie-Pitt were spotted on a shopping trip to a pet store in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, which prompted a wave of commentary from netizens.

The duo was seen exiting the pet store with bags in their hands. Knox, who now towers over his mother, sported a casual ensemble, including a t-shirt, black shorts, white socks, and Nike sneakers.

In contrast, Angelina opted for a more sophisticated look, wearing a black blazer, white top, and pants. She accessorized with black boots and sunglasses.

After they had finished shopping, Knox was seen opening the car’s trunk to load their store purchases inside the vehicle with his toned arms, as Angelina walked past him to get to the front of the car.

Photos of Knox and Angelina quickly spread on social media, sparking a flurry of reactions. Many netizens highlighted Knox’s good looks, with one user saying, “Such a handsome young lad! Viv and him to [sic] so much alike!!”

One observant netizen remarked, “Knox is the one that definitely looks like Brad the most,” while another, who also included Vivienne in their comment, noted, “He looks like her brother. Shiloh is the only one who really got dad’s looks. Vivienne looks like Angelina’s mother [sic].”
