Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Son Knox Sparked Some Buzz With His Hair Transformation

The young teen stunned onlookers this week with a dramatic new look, blending confidence, curiosity, and a magnetic presence that carries the unmistakable imprint of his famous family legacy.

Knox Jolie-Pitt, son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, turned heads in Los Angeles with a bold new icy blond hairstyle. The 17-year-old's striking transformation immediately grabbed attention, with paparazzi photos fueling social media buzz, comparisons, and nostalgic admiration.

Knox Sparks Comparisons to His Uncle and Father

Some fans were quick to point out a resemblance to Angelina's brother, James Haven. "He resembles Angelina's brother a lot!" wrote one commenter. "He looks like Angelina's brother. 🖤," agreed a TikToker, while another chimed in, "Yes he does look like his Uncle."

It wasn't a stretch — James, born in Los Angeles to actors Jon Voight and the late Marcheline Bertrand, has often been in the public eye alongside Angelina. He famously joined her at the Oscars in both 1986 and 2000, and later became the executive director of the Artivist board, a Los Angeles-based human rights festival.

But not everyone saw the maternal resemblance. Many fans thought Knox looked just like his father. "So handsome like Dad Brad!" declared one admirer. "Brads mini me🥰," gushed another. "Brad twin," a third fan stated, summing up what many were thinking. Still, not every reaction was filled with dramatic declarations. One Facebook user offered a calm response, "That's cool....."

The teen's updated style arrives at a time when Angelina's children — who have spent the majority of their adolescence outside the spotlight — have begun making more public impressions through fashion, appearances, and individual pursuits.

Whether Team Angelina Jolie or Team Brad, Knox's striking new look is impossible to ignore. It arrived just as he and his siblings — most of whom grew up away from the limelight — began stepping into the public eye with their own personal flair.

Shining at the Governors Awards

Before his hair transformation, Knox already drew attention at the 2024 Governors Awards in Hollywood, accompanying Angelina on the gala carpet and showcasing his striking resemblance to his mother.

The "Maleficent" star donned a striking, thin-strapped halter-neck gown that was gold and pale yellow. Her floor-length dress featured lace hemlines. In addition to its halter neck design, the gown was fastened together with straps on each side that connected in the middle of Angelina's back.

She accessorized with glamorous diamonds, including dangling silver earrings that had flecks of gold, and an extravagant necklace. Completing her look, Angelina styled her dark tresses into a half-up, half-down hairstyle, leaving a few strands to frame her face, which was adorned with light makeup.

Matching his mother's chicness, Knox, who sported a buzz cut, wore a classy black suit with a matching bow tie and a formal white top. He paired his outfit with black dress shoes.

Online photos showed the mother-son duo posing on the carpet with their arms interlinked. In most of them, Knox flashed his pearly white teeth, while Angelina showcased a more demure smile.

However, in a standout video shared on TikTok, the Award-winning actress was seen with a wide grin as she lovingly looked at her son, while they stood in front of an Oscars backdrop amid flashing cameras.

Fans Can't Get Enough of the Lookalike Moment

Fans were quick to weigh in — and many couldn't get over how much Knox resembled Angelina. "This is like her male version 😂," remarked an Instagrammer. Another echoed, "He looks like her," while someone else reiterated, "Omg he looks exactly like mom."

"He is so handsome ❤️ he looks just like her," swooned a fan. Echoing the sentiment, a fellow admirer gushed, "He's so beautiful just like his mother." "Knox is going to break hearts!!!!" exclaimed another fan.

Taking the mother-son lookalike comments further, other netizens expressed how Knox looks nothing like his famous dad, Brad Pitt, with one fan observing, "Wow the Jolie genes are strong in this child, I don't see Brad at all."

On the other hand, an Instagrammer expressed, "All I see is Brad but with her lips and hair colour [sic]. He is a very handsome young man." Some people took a more balanced approach, opining how Knox resembles both his parents.

"A perfect mix of both parents and he's so big now," asserted a Facebooker. A nostalgic commenter, who referenced Knox's fraternal twin, Vivienne Jolie, wrote, "Oh man, I feel so old lol. I remember when they announced she gave birth to Knox and Vivienne. He looks like a good mix of both his parents."

A Rare Return to the Blue Carpet

The Governors Awards marked a rare industry event for Knox, who hadn't been spotted at a Hollywood glamour event in more than three years. His last major appearance? October 27, 2021, at the London premiere of "The Eternals", where he joined four of his siblings alongside Angelina.

Vivienne, Shiloh, and Zahara Jolie all looked beautiful in their white, black-and-white, and yellow dresses, respectively. Meanwhile, Knox and his brother Maddox Jolie-Pitt looked dapper in their dark-colored outfits.

Knox sported a checkered blazer, a graphic t-shirt, and black pants, while Maddox wore a gray suit jacket, a black button-down shirt, jeans, and spectacles.

The matriarch of the family donned a chic white top, which she covered with a jacket, and paired these items with a huge black skirt. Aside from bringing her kids along with her to industry events, Angelina has also boasted about them in interviews.

Proud Mom Gushes over Her Kids

When Angelina's not turning heads on the red carpet, she's proudly boasting about her children's growing independence. While catching up with Entertainment Tonight's Denny Directo at the AFI Fest premiere of her film "Maria" in October 2024, Angelina spoke about what it's like to see her kids working on projects, some of which have been in collaboration with her.

"I love it! I love it when it's with me or not with me, you know. They do their own thing, too, and I love them as people. It's really nice. I think some people are even more comfortable maybe with the baby stage, I love this stage," shared the doting mom.

She continued, "I love living this life with them, and watching them just do and be all the things that they are; uniquely different people, and yeah, very happy."

From his icy blond transformation to the Governors Awards red carpet, Knox Jolie-Pitt's evolving style and growing confidence offer more than just a glimpse of celebrity genetics—they capture a young man coming into his own, while carrying the echoes of both his parents and the extended Jolie-Pitt family for the world to admire.
