Angelina Jolie stole the spotlight at this year's Governors Awards with the perfect plus-one companion. On November 17, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hosted its prestigious 15th Annual Governors Awards at the glamorous Ray Dolby Ballroom in Los Angeles. Jolie, an A-list star, arrived in style, donning a vintage dress and platform sandals, with her arm draped affectionately around her son, Knox Jolie-Pitt.
The 16-year-old Knox turned heads as he stood nearly as tall as his famous mother, debuting a buzzed haircut that added a touch of modern sophistication to his look. For the star-studded event, Knox embraced elegance in a tailored tuxedo, complemented by a pair of sleek, patent leather dress shoes with round toes. His appearance marked a striking transformation compared to the last time he walked the red carpet with his mom three years ago.
Jolie shimmered in a breathtaking vintage gold and cream dress with an empire waist, pairing it with open-toe sandals that were artfully concealed by the flowing, long skirt. However, the shoes' brown platform and her polished toes peeked through the sheer fabric of the gown, adding a subtle yet stylish touch. Her hair was styled in a soft, half-up, half-down look, and she adorned her neck with a chunky diamond necklace, accessorizing further with dangling silver earrings that caught the light.
The vintage dress was sourced from The Kit Vintage, and the boutique celebrated the moment on Instagram on Sunday, describing the gown as one of many pieces Jolie has purchased from them. "It is a special moment for me tonight to celebrate seeing Angelina Jolie at the 2024 Governor's Award, arm in arm with her son, Knox Jolie Pitt. She is wearing a stunning, unlabeled Vintage Gown acquired from TKV," the caption read. "What makes this moment the most meaningful for us is that we know she is a true vintage lover, fan, and supporter. Every time Angelina shops with us, she comes alone, fully engaged, and thoughtfully selects each piece. There has never been a stylist with her or a FaceTime call to a friend. She immerses herself in vintage, inspired by what she will wear next."
The last time Knox was spotted at a public event was in October 2021, when he supported one of his mom's films and attended the UK Gala screening of Marvel Studios' "Eternals" in London, alongside his siblings Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne, and Maddox. More recently, Jolie has been promoting her upcoming movie "Maria" and attended a screening of the film in New York City with some of her kids, although Knox was notably absent. Her daughter Zahara arrived at the event wearing stylish Tom Ford heels, while her brothers Pax and Maddox looked dapper in suits.
Angelina shares six children with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. Knox was born in Nice, France, in July 2008, alongside his twin sister, Vivienne. The former couple famously began their relationship in 2004 and married in 2014. However, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016, after two years of marriage.
The Governors Awards is an annual event celebrating the recipients of the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and the Honorary Award, all conferred by the Academy's Board of Governors. The recipients are announced each summer and honored at a grand dinner gala. Highlights from the event are later incorporated into the year's Academy Awards show, making it a truly memorable night for all involved.
