Hollywood's next generation continues to make waves as Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the 19-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, stepped into a creative spotlight with a new name and a new title. At a recent Isabel Marant NET-A-PORTER collection launch in Los Angeles, Shiloh debuted her choreography credit under the name "Shi," marking a notable identity shift for the young artist. The dance performance, delivered by Keoni Rose and Tako Suzuki and set to Luella's song "Naïve," featured Shi's choreographic vision at its heart, signaling the beginning of a new chapter for the star offspring.
Shi's quiet rebranding follows her legal decision to drop her father's surname after turning 18. While the Jolie-Pitt family has long been in the public eye, Shi's move shows a clear desire to carve her own identity and stake her claim in the creative world. Her siblings have followed similar paths. Vivienne, 16, was recently credited as "Vivienne Jolie" in the Playbill for her role as a producer's assistant in the Broadway production of The Outsiders. According to Angelina, Vivienne's passion for theater has deeply influenced her, and she's been closely involved in every stage of the production. As the younger generation of Jolie-Pitts find their voices in the arts, they are doing so on their own terms, often outside the glare of paparazzi lenses.
Angelina Jolie has openly acknowledged her children's preference for privacy, telling Good Morning America that none of them are keen to be in front of the camera. Of all her kids, she said Shi is "extremely" private, choosing instead to express herself through dance and creativity rather than celebrity. Despite being born into a life where every move made headlines, Shi's recent choices reflect a desire to live authentically and perhaps a little more quietly.
The name "Shi" may be simple, but it symbolizes a new era for the 19-year-old. No longer just the child of Hollywood royalty, she's now stepping forward with her own creative identity, letting her art speak louder than her lineage. Whether it's choreography, performance, or some unexpected future venture, one thing is clear — Shi is ready to take her place in the world, not as a shadow of her parents but as a force of her own.
