How 2021 became Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s big reveal: from tomboy to red carpet icon, Angelina’s teen daughter made headlines with her style transformation, new look and close bond with Zahara
While many of us feel 2021 was stagnant and that not much changed in the world, that certainly was not the case for Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.
Not only did Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s 15-year-old daughter live her best life during the pandemic – catching private flights, attending film premieres around the world and shopping with her siblings – she also broke the internet with her dramatic style transformation.
Here’s how Shiloh made headlines and kept social media buzzing this year.
1. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s 2021 transformation from tomboy to teen supreme
Back in January, we found out Shiloh had undergone quite the makeover while in lockdown. Sporting denim cut-offs, pierced ears and long locks tied up in a bun, it was a far cry from the gender-bending tomboy outfits Shiloh had sported over the years.
Fans were left confused by Shiloh’s new feminine look, especially after both parents mentioned during interviews that she thought she was “one of the boys” and went by the name “John”.
Jolie told Vanity Fair in a 2010 interview that Shiloh has been exploring gender since age three. “She wants to be a boy,” Jolie said. “So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boy clothes. She thinks she’s one of her brothers.”

2. Her sisterly bond with Zahara
Shiloh might be growing up fast, but her close bond with sister Zahara has remained consistent throughout.
This year, the pair were snapped side by side pretty much every step of the way, from red carpet appearances and shopping excursions to A-list hang-outs with the likes of Millie Bobby Brown.

3. Her fashion home run
Here’s something we didn’t expect to say in 2021: Shiloh went on an international fashion winning streak in a variety of glamorous looks on the Eternals promotional tour.
It turned out that January’s new look was only a taster, because by October we got the full reveal of Shiloh’s incredible fashion makeover. From LA and Rome, the teen rocked a variety of designer frocks as she supported her mum on the red carpet.

4. Shiloh and Suri Cruise at 15: how do their teenage years compare?
When A-list couples Pitt and Jolie, and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, had their firstborns one month apart in 2006 – Suri Cruise on April 18 and Shiloh on May 27 – it was an explosion of tabloid heaven meets Hollywood royalty.
As we watched Shiloh and Suri grow up through the paparazzi lens, their lives changed drastically over the years.

5. What films has Shiloh been in?
As the daughter of two of the biggest movie stars in the world, it wouldn’t be a stretch for Shiloh to follow in her famous parents’ showbiz footsteps.
While Jolie and Pitt largely raised Shiloh out of the spotlight, she’s already dipped a toe into Hollywood with a handful of small roles. And if her recent red carpet appearances are anything to go by, she’s already comfortable in front of the cameras.
