The last time Knox walked a red carpet was when he was 13.
It was a family affair at the Governor’s Awards in Los Angeles last night, with Angelina Jolie making a rare public appearance alongside her youngest son, Knox Jolie-Pitt.
Stunning on the red carpet in a golden gown, Angelina was in full proud-mom mode as she posed arm-in-arm with 16-year-old Knox, who beamed beside her in a classic black suit.
Knox is one of six children Angelina shares with her ex, Brad Pitt. And while the buzzcut hairstyle is reminiscent of his dad’s early 2000s look, there’s absolutely no denying that the teen bears a striking resemblance to his mom.
If, like me, you’re suddenly feeling old and shocked by just how grown-up Knox looks, that’s probably because it’s been a while since we’ve seen him. In fact, his last red carpet appearance was more than three years ago at the Eternals premiere in London, when he was just 13.

It’s certainly not uncommon for Angelina to bring her kids to red carpets, particularly now that the children are becoming increasingly more involved in the creative scene.

Maddox, 23, and Pax, 20, both seem to be following in their mom’s directorial footsteps, having served as assistant directors on her recent projects like Without Blood and Maria. And while 19-year-old Zahara is studying at Spelman College, 18-year-old Shiloh appears to be a keen dancer.

As for the youngest of the bunch, Knox’s twin sister Vivienne recently dabbled in the world of musical theater, making her debut as a producer’s assistant to her mom on the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical The Outsiders.
