Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, turned heads at the 2024 Tony Awards with her unconventional outfit. Her bold fashion choice sparked online debate about whether she was straying too far from traditional femininity.
One of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s children became the center of online discussions following her appearance at the 2024 Tony Awards. Their daughter, Vivienne, attended the event with her mother, who was there to celebrate “The Outsiders” winning Best Musical.
Angelina dazzled in a light-teal velvet strapless gown with a corseted bodice and draped fabric. She accessorized minimally to highlight her elegant ensemble. Her long hair flowed freely, adding to her glamorous look.

The 15-year-old, on the other hand, opted for a playful and unique look. She sported a crisp white shirt under a dark teal vest and trousers, complete with a bow tie and dark blue Converse sneakers. Her hair, similar to her mother’s, was left to flow down to her shoulders.

While both mother and daughter turned heads, Vivienne’s outfit became a hot topic among AmoMama readers, who shared their thoughts, with opinions ranging from criticism to praise.

Another voiced concern about why Angelina would dress her children in male clothing, stating, “She’s a girl dress her like one, all your girl you put boys clothes on them and the one young lady always had beautiful outfit on, WHY (sic).”

In contrast, an observant reader noted Vivienne’s seemingly loose outfit, “Love how the mom is dressed to the nines and her daughter is wearing a suite that is not flattering at all. Could u at least have made it fit properly?(sic)”

However, not all comments were negative. One defender stood up for Vivienne’s right to self-expression, stating, “She wears what she feels comfortable in. Leave her alone.”

Another supporter agreed, adding, “I see nothing wrong with it. At least she is covered up and not showing all she has like so many people do nowadays and I would bet she is more comfortable than her mom.”

Vivienne has recently embraced a playful and unique fashion style. This was evident in May 2024 when she attended the opening night of “Reefer Madness: The Musical” in Los Angeles with her mother and actress Kristen Bell.

According to People in May 2024, the Playbill for the musical “The Outsiders” listed her as “Vivienne Jolie,” notably without “Pitt.” This name change marked a significant step in Vivienne’s evolving public identity.

Vivienne’s reported name change and recent public appearances highlight the evolving dynamics of the Jolie-Pitt family. However, she’s not the first of Angelina and Brad’s six children to change their name; Zahara made a similar change late last year.

In November 2023, Zahara joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. at Spelman College. A video showed Zahara’s new sorority sisters cheering as she took center stage. She proudly announced, “My name is Zahara Marley Jolie,” seemingly dropping her dad’s last name before dancing and flipping her hair.
