It was a family affair

Denzel Washington’s awkward meet-cute with King Charles confirmed that not every celebrity is comfortable at star-studded red carpet events. The same can’t be said about Angelina Jolie’s son, Knox Jolie-Pitt, who looked like a total professional during his first official appearance in three years. 

Last night, the 16-year-old attended the 2024 Governors Awards in Hollywood as his mom’s plus-one. Jolie wore a vintage gold gown that featured a lacy skirt, while Knox wore a classic tuxedo (complete with a bow tie).

The mother-son outing was a pretty big deal because Knox has kept a low profile as of late. Although he has been photographed by paparazzi, this recent appearance marked his first major red carpet event since 2021. 

At the time, the teen attended the London premiere of his mom’s film, Eternals. The red carpet event was a family affair because he attended the premiere with his other siblings, including Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and his twin sister, Vivienne. (Jolie’s son, Pax, was not present.)

In the past, Jolie has spoken about her children and how they value their privacy. “I think they're especially shy, very private people,” she told E! News. “They want to be private.”

Of course, Jolie wasn’t the only celebrity at the 2024 Governors Awards. Other famous attendees included Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet and Demi Moore.
