Angelina Jolie and her daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt made a stunning appearance at the 2024 Tony Awards, capturing the attention of everyone on the red carpet. The event, held at Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater in New York City, saw the mother-daughter duo in perfectly coordinated outfits.
Angelina, who is a producer on the Broadway show “The Outsiders,” wore a strapless, teal, draped, Grecian-style velvet gown paired with a matching shawl. Vivienne, credited as a producer assistant on the same show, complemented her mother’s look with a white button-down shirt, teal vest, and teal pants.
The 49-year-old actress, who is also a presenter at the Tonys, shared in a recent interview how her daughter’s love for theater influenced her involvement in the Broadway production. “My daughter Viv loves theater,” Angelina told Deadline. “She appreciates all theater but she certainly knows what she feels close to and what she responds to.”
Vivienne’s passion for “The Outsiders” was evident as she saw the show multiple times at La Jolla, prompting Angelina to delve deeper into the project. “It was a very different experience of understanding, of how this is having a significant effect on her as a young person right now,” Angelina explained. “She’s communicating something to me, and that is the power of this material.”
Angelina, who is also a mother to Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and Vivienne’s twin Knox, has always been private about her children’s lives. However, she occasionally offers glimpses into their world. “Viv reminds me of my mother,” Angelina shared, referencing her late mom Marcheline Bertrand. “She isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives.”
Vivienne’s dedication to theater is something Angelina deeply admires. “She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre,” the “Maleficent” star continued, “and working hard to best understand how to contribute.”
The Tony Awards night was not just about the glitz and glamour for the Jolie-Pitt duo. It was also a celebration of their collaborative work on “The Outsiders,” which received 12 Tony nominations. Angelina expressed her pride in watching the production evolve over the past year, with Vivienne by her side every step of the way.
This public appearance comes after Vivienne made headlines for being credited as “Vivienne Jolie” in the playbill for “The Outsiders,” dropping her father’s surname. This move follows a similar decision by her older sister Zahara, who introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie” during a sorority ceremony at Spelman College.
The Jolie-Pitt children have been gradually distancing themselves from their father Brad Pitt’s surname. Shiloh, who recently turned 18, filed official paperwork to change her name to “Shiloh Jolie.” An insider revealed that Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for the legal process herself.
Angelina and Brad, who were declared legally single in 2019, continue to navigate their ongoing divorce proceedings, which include custody battles and disputes over their French winery, Château Miraval. Despite the legal challenges, Angelina remains focused on her children and their passions.
The Tony Awards night was a testament to the strong bond between Angelina and Vivienne. Their coordinated outfits and shared enthusiasm for “The Outsiders” highlighted their close relationship. As they walked the red carpet, it was clear that this mother-daughter duo is not just about making a fashion statement but also about celebrating their shared love for theater.
Angelina’s involvement in “The Outsiders” and her support for Vivienne’s interests reflect her commitment to nurturing her children’s talents. The Tony Awards night was a memorable occasion for the Jolie-Pitt family, marking another milestone in their journey together.
