Knox Jolie-Pitt Channels Mother's Edgy 90s Style with Pink Pixie Cut
Angelina Jolie's youngest son, Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, has made headlines with a bold fashion statement that directly references his famous mother's edgier days. The 17-year-old recently debuted a striking new hairstyle that mirrors a look the Hollywood icon sported more than two decades ago.
During a casual outing to Lazy Acres Market in Los Feliz, California, Knox appeared with a spiky, pastel-pink pixie cut that immediately caught attention. The dramatic transformation bears an uncanny resemblance to the hot pink buzz cut Angelina Jolie famously wore in the late 1990s.
A Nostalgic Nod to 1998
The specific style reference dates back to 1998, when Angelina Jolie rocked a similar short, dyed crop for her role in the film Playing by Heart. In that movie, she starred alongside industry legends including Sean Connery, Gena Rowlands, and Ryan Phillippe.
Knox's modern interpretation of the look was perfectly coordinated with his casual attire. He completed the grunge-inspired aesthetic by pairing his vibrant new haircut with a pale pink sweatshirt and jeans featuring delicate floral embroidery while grabbing food with a friend.
Jolie-Pitt Siblings Continue Mother's Fashion Legacy
Knox isn't the only one of Angelina Jolie's six children who appears to be drawing inspiration from their mother's iconic style journey. The Oscar winner shares Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne with ex-husband Brad Pitt.
In April 2024, 19-year-old Shiloh—who made news last year for legally dropping her father's last name—stepped out with a buzz cut and braids that strongly reminded fans of Angelina's Tomb Raider era.
Additionally, in September 2024, 20-year-old Zahara appeared to repurpose her mother's wardrobe for the Maria premiere. She wore a white, slinky halter dress that seemed to be the same Marc Bouwer gown Angelina famously wore to the 2004 Academy Awards.
Family Dynamics and Emotional Bonds
The children's visible connection to their mother's style comes against the backdrop of complex family dynamics. All six children have reportedly remained by Angelina's side following her separation from Brad Pitt, with sources indicating the actor has had limited contact with them.
Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, initiating proceedings that lasted nearly a decade due to complicated custody disputes. According to reports from December 2024, the divorce was finally settled, with sources suggesting Pitt's girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, encouraged him to resolve the lingering legal matters.
In a candid 2023 interview with Vogue, Jolie opened up about how essential her children are to her emotional wellbeing. "I was 26 when I became a mother. My entire life changed," she told the publication.
The humanitarian admitted that her role as a mother saved her from spiraling into "much darker" places during the difficult years following her separation. She explained that having children taught her to exist in the world differently and confessed she might have "gone under" without the motivation to live for them.
"They're better than me, because you want your children to be," she added, emphasizing the profound impact her children have had on her life and personal growth.
