The 77th Annual Tony Awards in New York City saw a delightful surprise as Angelina Jolie and her 15-year-old daughter, Vivienne, attended the event in perfectly coordinated outfits. The mother-daughter duo graced the red carpet on Sunday, turning heads and making a statement with their stunning appearance. This event also marked a significant moment for Vivienne, who has recently opted to remove her father’s last name, a move her elder sister Shiloh has also made.
Vivienne Captivates the Tony Awards with Angelina Jolie
Vivienne, the youngest daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, looked sophisticated and stylish in a chic suit at the Tony Awards. Her appearance alongside her mother not only showcased her fashion sense but also highlighted the close bond she shares with Jolie. This public outing comes amid ongoing family dynamics, where Jolie seems to have the unwavering support of her children. The 49-year-old actress attended the awards to celebrate the success of The Outsiders, a project she produced, which received 12 Tony nominations, including Best Musical.
Jolie herself dazzled in a gorgeous teal Versace gown that flowed elegantly, complemented by a matching shawl. However, it was Vivienne who stole the show in her coordinated ensemble of a white shirt, teal vest, and pants. The duo’s carefree “hair down, no worries” attitude added to their charm, making them one of the most talked-about pairs of the night.
How Angelina and Vivienne Got Involved in Broadway
Angelina Jolie’s foray into Broadway production was deeply influenced by her daughter Vivienne’s love for theatre. In a previous interview with Deadline, Jolie shared, “My daughter Viv loves theatre,” explaining that Vivienne’s passion for *The Outsiders* play inspired her to get involved. Jolie saw how profoundly the play resonated with her daughter, prompting her to support the production. “She appreciates all theatre but she certainly knows what she feels close to and what she responds to,” Jolie noted. “And then I had the privilege of watching everyone work over this last year to make it into what it is, and Vivienne has been there the whole way.”
Vivienne’s Decision to Drop Brad Pitt’s Name
Vivienne’s attendance at the Tony Awards also brought attention to a significant personal decision. At just 15, Vivienne has chosen to remove her father’s surname, opting to be credited as “Vivienne Jolie” in the Playbill for The Outsiders. This decision mirrors that of her sister Shiloh, who has legally moved to remove the Pitt surname. Although Vivienne has to wait until she turns 18 to file the legal paperwork, her preference to be identified with her mother’s surname is clear.
This family dynamic, often referred to as the ongoing ‘War of Roses’ between Jolie and Pitt, sees Jolie enjoying the steadfast support of her children. As Jolie continues to make strides in her professional life, her children, particularly Vivienne, remain closely involved and supportive.
The coordinated appearance of Angelina Jolie and Vivienne at the Tony Awards not only highlighted their impeccable style but also showcased their strong mother-daughter bond. As Jolie celebrated the success of her production, she did so with Vivienne by her side, both making memorable statements in the world of theatre and beyond.
