When your mom is Angelina Jolie, dipping into her wardrobe seems like a no-brainer. That’s exactly what Angelina’s daughters, Zahara and Shiloh Jolie, have done, giving her memorable gowns a second life. From red-carpet glamour to personal twists, the Jolie kids have worn their mother’s outfits in ways that celebrate individuality while embracing sustainability. It’s a delightful nod to haute couture hand-me-downs, blending family connection with environmental mindfulness.
Angelina, known for her timeless Old Hollywood aesthetic, often stuns on red carpets, and her daughters’ fashion choices show how her influence extends beyond style. Both Zahara and Shiloh have undergone transformations that reflect their unique identities. Shiloh, for instance, has sported hairstyles ranging from bold buzz cuts to flowing locks, echoing her mom’s versatility. Zahara has similarly embraced her evolving style. Along the way, they’ve turned to their mother’s closet for pieces that fuse nostalgia with fresh flair.
In October 2021, Angelina attended the Los Angeles premiere of Eternals with most of her children. While the family stunned in coordinated neutral tones, Zahara stole the show by wearing Angelina’s 2014 Oscars gown, a beaded Elie Saab masterpiece. Angelina embraced the sentimental gesture, explaining to Entertainment Tonight: “My kids are all mixed with vintage and in my old Oscars dress. We did all vintage and upcycled my old stuff.”
Zahara’s choice reflected creativity and individuality, as she made minimal alterations to the iconic gown, primarily hemming it to suit her frame. It was a poignant example of passing down more than just fabric—it was sharing memories and empowering Zahara to express herself through her mother’s sartorial legacy.
Shiloh also made a splash at the same Eternals premiere by reimagining one of Angelina’s dresses. She wore a camel-toned Gabriela Hearst gown that Angelina had first donned in 2019 at a Women for Bees press event. However, Shiloh added her own flair, altering the dress with an asymmetrical hemline that stopped at her knee and incorporating fabric accents around the bust.
Angelina shared her enthusiasm for her daughters’ experiments with vintage looks, telling WSJ. Magazine: “Here’s some vintage, here’s some things you can cut up. You can do it all these different ways. Who are you? What do you want?” This freedom to repurpose and personalize reflects Angelina’s belief in encouraging individuality and creativity.
For the London leg of the Eternals premiere in 2021, Shiloh once again raided her mother’s closet. This time, she transformed a tropical-print Dior gown that Angelina had worn during the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil press tour in 2019. Shiloh’s version featured a shorter cut that ended above her knees and a slightly altered neckline, giving the dress a youthful and playful vibe.
Angelina has been vocal about letting her children develop their own styles, often avoiding professional stylists. “I don’t like the idea of somebody putting clothes on me or my kids,” she told WSJ. Magazine. “So much of clothing is identity, and if someone else is styling you, they’re dictating who you are.” By allowing Shiloh to reshape the Dior gown, Angelina reinforced her belief in fashion as a means of self-expression.
Angelina Jolie’s approach to parenting extends into her fashion philosophy—empowering her kids to be themselves. Whether it’s Zahara breathing new life into an Oscars gown or Shiloh giving an edgy twist to a classic dress, these moments are about more than just fashion. They represent a bond, a celebration of individuality, and a commitment to sustainability. Fashion, for the Jolie family, is not just about what you wear—it’s about who you are.
