Angelina Jolie and her daughter Vivienne, 15, enjoyed a day of retail therapy in New York City on Saturday. The Oscar-winning actress, 49, cut an ethereal figure in a flowy white dress, while her teenage daughter opted for a casual ensemble of a beige t-shirt and light-wash blue jeans. They visited various stores, including the McNally Jackson Bookstore, looking relaxed and comfortable in the summer heat.

Jolie, known for her effortless style, paired her chic frock with oversized black shades, a brown leather purse, and heeled black booties. She wore her light brown hair in a sleek updo to beat the sweltering temperatures. Vivienne, the youngest daughter of Jolie and her ex-husband Brad Pitt, carried a black backpack and sneakers, completing her laid-back look.
The mother-daughter duo has been spending quality time together, recently attending the 77th Annual Tony Awards. Both Jolie and Vivienne had a special connection to the Broadway production, “The Outsiders,” which received an impressive 12 nominations. At the event, Vivienne coordinated her outfit with her mother, donning teal-colored trousers and a matching vest left unbuttoned. They paused for photos upon their arrival at the Lincoln Center, sharing a laugh before heading into the venue.
Jolie took on the role of producer for “The Outsiders,” with Vivienne serving as her assistant. The musical, based on the 1967 book by S.E. Hinton and the 1983 film, premiered on Broadway in April 2024. In May, it was revealed that Vivienne had dropped her father’s last name from her moniker in the playbill, choosing to be known as Vivienne Jolie.

Vivienne’s name change follows a similar decision by her older sister, Zahara, who introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie during her induction into the AKA sorority at Spelman College last November. Pitt has also faced criticism from his son Pax, who called him a “world-class a**hole” and a “despicable person” in an Instagram rant.
In May, Brad and Angelina’s daughter, Shiloh, 18, officially requested to drop “Pitt” from her surname in court documents. The dancer filed the paperwork on her birthday, emphasizing her desire to be known as Shiloh Jolie. This request came amidst reports of Pitt’s intention to repair his bond with Shiloh.

Brad and Angelina share biological children Shiloh, twins Knox and Vivienne, and three adopted children: Maddox, Pax, and Zahara. Their relationship began after Pitt’s divorce from Jennifer Aniston in 2005, and they married in 2014. However, the couple divorced in 2016, and in 2019, they were declared legally single. Despite this, they remain embroiled in an ongoing legal battle, and Pitt reportedly has a strained relationship with his children.
In a recent interview, Jolie shared how she and Vivienne became involved in “The Outsiders.” She explained that her daughter has a deep appreciation for theater and had seen the production at La Jolla multiple times. Jolie and Vivienne then saw the project together, and the actress learned about its importance to her daughter. They were later contacted by producers to share their thoughts, and Jolie emphasized her desire to support and listen to the creative team, especially director Danya Taymor.
