At the prestigious Tony Awards, Angelina Jolie made quite the entrance with a stunning new addition to her look - a fresh tattoo on her chest. The 2024 red carpet was graced by the presence of the 49-year-old actress and her daughter Vivienne, amidst rumors of tension within the family as the children seem to be distancing themselves from their father, Brad Pitt.
Angelina looked absolutely ethereal in a custom light-teal Atelier Versace velvet gown that perfectly showcased her new tattoo. The sweetheart neckline was cut just low enough to reveal a delicate bird in flight in the center of her chest. This particular tattoo holds a special meaning as bird tattoos are often associated with freedom, rebirth, and transformation, especially when depicted in flight. Interestingly, during her last public appearance in April with her daughter, the tattoo was not visible, leading us to believe that it was a recent addition.
The Tony Awards proved to be a momentous occasion for Angelina and Vivienne as they were nominated for co-producing the musical adaptation of S.E. Hinton's 1967 book, The Outsiders. The production went on to win the award for best musical, adding to the list of accolades for the mother-daughter duo. Vivienne, who is now 15 years old, looked dapper in blue suit trousers, a matching waistcoat, and a white shirt with a little blue bow tie. The director of The Outsiders, Danya Taymor, also received the Best Director award, and the production was nominated a whopping 12 times. Other notable winners included Daniel Radcliffe and Jonathan Groff for their Broadway production of Merrily We Roll Along.
During the event, Angelina took to the stage to introduce the performance of two songs from The Outsiders cast - "Tulsa '67" and "Grease Got A Hold." In a powerful and defiant speech, she highlighted the enduring relevance of the book, which was written by Hinton when she was in high school. Angelina's words were especially poignant at the moment as she and her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, are still in the midst of a bitter divorce battle that has been going on for almost a decade. The news of their daughter Shiloh legally dropping her dad's last name upon turning 18 has only added fuel to the fire.
The couple, who share six children - Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15 - have been in the spotlight for their tumultuous relationship, and their children have been caught in the middle. However, it seems that the kids have begun to distance themselves from their father, as evidenced by their dropping of his last name and going by Jolie instead. A source close to the family has revealed that Brad is "aware and upset" about the change, stating that he has always wanted a daughter and was overjoyed when Shiloh was born.
The couple's three older children, including Zahara, were adopted by the couple early on in their marriage, and now they too seem to be following in their siblings' footsteps. While Zahara joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority as Zahara Markey Jolie at Spelman College in November, Vivienne also dropped her dad's last name on the playbill for The Outsiders, appearing as Vivienne Jolie. It seems that the children are asserting their independence and identity, and Angelina's words during her speech at the Tony Awards are a reminder to everyone that it is important to stay true to oneself, especially in the face of adversity.
