Angelina Jolie and Son Knox Shine on the Red Carpet at the 2024 Governors Awards.

 

Angelina Jolie turned heads at the 15th Annual Governors Awards in Los Angeles, arriving with a special guest—her 16-year-old son, Knox Jolie-Pitt. The event, hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences at the Ray Dolby Ballroom on November 17, saw the Hollywood star stepping out in a stunning vintage gown, complemented by Knox’s sleek tuxedo look.

Jolie opted for a classic empire waist dress in a gold and cream palette, sourced from The Kit Vintage. The elegant gown featured a sheer overlay and was paired with open-toe platform sandals, adding a modern touch. She accessorized with a chunky diamond necklace and silver earrings, while her hair was styled in a soft half-up, half-down look. The vintage boutique shared their excitement on Instagram, noting Jolie’s personal involvement in selecting her pieces: “Every time she shops with us, she’s engaged and chooses each piece herself. No stylist, no FaceTime calls—just her love for vintage.”

Knox, who has grown considerably since his last public appearance, nearly matched his mother’s height. He sported a buzzed haircut and looked dapper in a classic tuxedo paired with patent leather dress shoes, showcasing his sophisticated style. His last major red carpet appearance was in 2021 at the UK Gala screening of Eternals, where he joined his siblings Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne, and Maddox.

The Governors Awards, an annual event by the Academy’s Board of Governors, honors recipients of the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and the Honorary Award. The star-studded gala serves as a precursor to the Oscars, with highlights from the evening often featured during the Academy Awards broadcast.

Jolie, who shares six children with ex-husband Brad Pitt, has been actively promoting her upcoming film Maria. While she attended a recent New York City screening with her children Zahara, Pax, and Maddox, Knox’s appearance at the Governors Awards marked his return to the spotlight, showing a new, mature look as he accompanied his iconic mother.
