Angelina Jolie and her daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt recently stole the spotlight after they were pictured with bags of goodies from a shopping spree in New York City. Angelina exuded a stylish aura in a long black coat reaching above her calves, paired with black pants and a brown shoulder bag. Her long hair flowed over her shoulders, and her gaze was shielded behind a pair of sleek glasses.

Vivienne, on the other hand, strode joyfully, rocking a simple gray crewneck sweatshirt and light blue jeans, paired with white sneakers that complemented the relaxed, everyday style. Her brunette hair, reaching just below her shoulders, was parted in the middle.

The picture has sparked a wave of fan reactions online. Some raved about Vivienne’s resemblance to her dad, Brad Pitt, with one writing, “Definitely not Angelina’s lookalike because clearly she’s all Brad.” A second agreed, “Looks like her dad,” while others simply declared, “Brad’s twin,” and “Viv looks like Brad.”

On the other side, some people seemed to disregard the high fashion moment and pointed out that something was off with Angelina’s stylish look—the coat seemed to have stains. One asked, “Why is her coat dirty?” while another pointed out that if “you zoom in, you notice the two big stains on her coat.” Another even advised, “She needs to wash her coat!“

Amid this scrutiny, there were voices of support for Angelina, highlighting her commitment to sustainable fashion. Fans were quick to defend her with comments like, “It doesn’t look nasty though. Who cares about a couple [of] barely noticeable stains? She’s about sustainable fashion, so she’s not gonna care about a couple [of] stains.”

This perspective brings us back to Angelina’s own views on fashion. Known for her distinct style, Angelina Jolie has long marched to the beat of her own drum when it comes to clothing. She prefers to shop for herself and collaborate with tailors rather than relying on celebrity stylists, showing a preference for authenticity and personal touch over mass-market trends.

With more books than clothes in her closet, her approach to fashion is thoughtful and intentional, not driven by external pressures but by her own values. She’s expressed a desire to not let clothes consume her life, nor does she entertain the idea of being “influenced” by fleeting fashion whims.

“I don’t tell the kids how to dress,” she remarked, demonstrating her belief in personal choice and expression. This extends to public appearances, where she maintains that no one is obliged to dress up or attend if they do not wish to.

Angelina’s perspective on fashion is not just about appearance, but about an ethos that embraces individuality and a sustainable lifestyle, a stance that’s certainly influential in its own right.

Amid the chatter about fashion choices and the occasional stain, the essence of Angelina’s approach to life—with its emphasis on personal significance over appearances—can also be traced back to the early chapters of her children’s lives. It’s in these personal anecdotes that we find a deeper understanding of the values that likely influence her and her family’s public presentation.

Take, for example, the touching account of the birth of Knox and Vivienne. The family’s obstetrician/gynecologist shared a glimpse into those intimate moments, revealing a tender side to the story, by sharing how Brad was actively involved during the births.

He jokingly referred to Brad as his “assistant.” He wasn’t just present but played a participatory role, cutting the umbilical cords of the twins. The scene, described as a blend of calm determination and profound joy, summed up his deep involvement and emotional presence.

The mother-daughter duo outing is the second one this month, with the first being a few days ago, as we reported on April 5, 2024:

The actress and her daughter, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, were spotted attending a preview of “The Outsiders,” a musical they are not only passionate about but also actively producing.
