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.

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)"

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'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.

Following in the footsteps of her sisters Vivienne and Zahara, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, has also decided to drop their father's surname last month legally.

Shiloh who turned 18 on May 27, has filed legal documents to drop Brad's surname and use her mother's surname. She has wished to be known simply as "Shiloh Jolie," making this one of her first actions as an adult.

Shiloh, Zahara, and Vivienne's surname change came amid ongoing legal battles between Angelina and Brad. Angelina filed for divorce in 2016, and the court declared them legally single in 2019. They established a joint custody arrangement in 2021, which remains a significant aspect of their post-divorce legal struggles.

Adding to the couple's legal drama, earlier court documents claimed that Angelina Jolie may have contributed to the strained relationship between Brad and their children.

Tony Webb, owner of SRS Global, a security company that provided Angelina with personal protection from 2000 to 2020, shared insights based on his two decades of experience working with the actress.

“One of the two individuals, Ross Foster, specified that he intended to testify regardless of the NDA if he received a court subpoena,” Webb stated. He further revealed disturbing details about the potential testimony.

"When Mr. Foster told me this, he also told me that if asked, he would testify about statements he overheard that Ms. Jolie made to the children, encouraging them to avoid spending time with Mr. Pitt during custody visits," Webb claimed.

"The fact that she cannot see the harm this is doing to their kids is just shocking," one person commented. This was echoed by another commenter who noted, "It's probably why Shiloh is moving in with her father now… She's realized her mother is vindictive and has been trying to alienate them from Brad for years."

The debate over Angelina's actions led some to reflect on the cyclical nature of such behavior, attributing it to her tumultuous upbringing. "Her childhood was similar from what I read. Maybe she can't break that perpetual cycle or doesn't want to," one claimed.

Despite the public's critical perception, Angelina has continually strived to embody the role of a nurturing, attentive mother. This commitment is deeply rooted in the lessons taught by her own mom, Marcheline Bertrand.

In a candid revelation in 2011, Angelina shared insights into her parenting approach, which is heavily influenced by the relationship she cherished with her mother. Angelina emphasized the importance of not just being a parent but also a friend to her children.

She highlighted the invaluable connection she experienced through open communication and shared activities with her mother. This foundation has guided her in fostering a similar bond with her children, ensuring that despite their diverse backgrounds, they feel united as a family.
