Angelina Jolie’s hardly ever seen son Knox appears to be like like a younger Brad Pitt as he towers over her at Governors Awards 2024
Angelina Jolie looked every inch the proud mom as she beamed alongside her son, Knox Jolie-Pitt, at the Governors Awards on Sunday.
The Oscar-winning actress, 48, and her handsome 16-year-old son—whom she shares with ex Brad Pitt—took over the red carpet at the Ray Dolby Ballroom, effortlessly commanding attention with their striking style.
Jolie dazzled in a shimmering gold-and-silver sleeveless gown, radiating Hollywood glamour, while oversized diamond earrings and a matching necklace added the perfect touch of sparkle.

Notably absent were his siblings—Maddox (22), Pax (20), Zahara (19), Shiloh (17), and the twins, Vivienne and Knox—making it a rare mother-son moment at the star-studded event.
