Angelina Jolie and Zahara Jolie-Pitt: A Red-Carpet Legacy of Couture, Connection, and Timeless Shoes

When it comes to red-carpet family fashion, few duos command as much attention as Angelina Jolie and her daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt. During the global press tour for Marvel’s Eternals, the two redefined mother-daughter elegance — blending couture heritage, sustainable rewears, and unexpected modern twists.

From Los Angeles to London and Rome, every appearance told a story of confidence, connection, and timeless glamour. Below, we revisit their standout style moments — each a testament to Angelina’s refined minimalism and Zahara’s growing individuality.

Each of these moments captures a different facet of the Jolie-Pitt family’s fashion evolution — from Zahara’s heartfelt nod to her mother’s 2014 Elie Saab gown to Angelina’s sculptural Balmain ensembles that balance strength and sensuality.

Together, they’ve crafted a series of appearances that feel both cinematic and deeply personal — a rare blend of heritage and haute couture.

Zahara Jolie-Pitt Honors Her Mother’s Style Legacy at the Eternals LA Premiere

When Eternals premiered at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood in 2021, Zahara Jolie-Pitt paid a touching tribute to her mother’s style legacy, wearing the same glittering Elie Saab couture gown Angelina Jolie debuted at the 2014 Oscars — though she skipped her mother’s original Ferragamo pumps in favor of neutral ballet flats.

This red-carpet rewear moment perfectly bridged elegance across generations.

One of the most talked-about beauty details from the Eternals Los Angeles premiere came from Angelina Jolie herself. The actress complemented her Balmain gown with an unexpected statement accessory—a bold 14k gold lip-and-chin cuff by Austin-based designer Nina Berenato.

The minimalist piece, paired with her sculptural gold hoop earrings and soft neutral glam, added an avant-garde edge to her otherwise timeless red-carpet aesthetic.

The Jolie-Pitt Family’s Coordinated Elegance in Los Angeles

Making it a stylish family affair, her children joined Angelina Jolie — Maddox, 20; Zahara, 16; Shiloh, 15; and 13-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox — at the Los Angeles premiere of Eternals. Maddox opted for a sleek all-black suit, while Vivienne kept things youthful in an off-white midi dress paired with sneakers.

Family Style Takes Flight at the Eternals London Premiere

Just days later, the Jolie-Pitt family brought their coordinated style overseas for the Eternals London premiere at the BFI IMAX Waterloo.

This time, Zahara brightened the blue carpet in a cheerful canary-yellow off-the-shoulder mini dress from Valentino’s Resort 2022 collection, paired with metallic sandals, while Angelina exuded tuxedo-chic sophistication in a custom Valentino Haute Couture ensemble — an oversized black blazer, crisp white shirt, and dramatic full-length skirt.

Vivienne repeated her off-white midi dress for a charming sense of consistency, Maddox kept things polished in a dark tailored suit, and Knox mirrored his brother’s sleek style in a similarly sharp look.

From Red Carpets to Real Life: Paper & Glue Premiere

After a whirlwind of glamorous Eternals premieres across Europe, Angelina Jolie opted for understated sophistication back home in Los Angeles. Attending the premiere of Paper & Glue: A JR Project alongside her longtime friend and collaborator, JR, and her children, Shiloh and Pax, Jolie traded couture gowns for quiet elegance in a black calf-length dress.

Shiloh embraced her signature casual style in a black sweatshirt, ripped blue jeans, and light blue Converse sneakers — a relaxed contrast to her earlier red-carpet looks — while Pax coordinated in a plaid shirt and grey jeans. The family’s effortless ensemble reflected a return to comfort and authenticity after weeks of high-fashion appearances.

Known for her deep affection for Saint Laurent’s minimalist sophistication, Angelina Jolie surprised fashion watchers at the 2014 Academy Awards when she stepped away from her beloved French label — choosing instead a shimmering Elie Saab gown that her daughter Zahara would beautifully rewear years later.

Angelina Jolie’s 2014 Oscars Moment in Elie Saab

Arriving alongside then-fiancé Brad Pitt, the actress embraced a softer, more luminous aesthetic in a breathtaking Elie Saab creation. This choice marked one of her most memorable red-carpet departures.

She also paired the frock with shoes from another label.

But then again, maybe we shouldn’t have been shocked. After all, Angie had never worn Saint Laurent to any of the Oscars she had previously attended.

In 2004, she slipped into an icy white Marc Bouwer gown. For her 2009 appearance, she wore a strapless number from Elie Saab. And who can forget the leg she exposed in that black velvet number from Versace back in 2012?

For the high-profile occasion, the star slipped into a silvery piece from Elie Saab, which was exquisitely beaded to the hilt. The dress was also sheer, but only in the right places.

In fact, it even flaunted her well-reconstructed bosom (she had a double mastectomy one year earlier). She finished the frock with dazzling 42-karat diamond drop earrings and smoky-eye makeup to match. Simply put, Angie looked like a queen — elegant, regal, and flawless.

Do you like Angie’s Oscar look, or do you find the gown underwhelming? We can’t say it was her best, but she still looked amazing. Besides, aren’t you just glad that she didn’t walk the red carpet in another black gown?

Now, on to the shoes. The star slipped into a pair of Ferragamo pumps for the night. We don’t have the full details on her shoes, but judging from the close-up shots below, we think she wore satin-wrapped peep-toe heels in either silver or champagne.

Interestingly, Angie’s pair did not include the label’s signature bow details, so we think her shoes were custom-made. What do you think?

Brad’s biographical period-drama film (which he also co-produced), 12 Years a Slave, won Best Picture. It was also recognized as Best Feature at the 2014 Independent Spirit Awards.
