CUTE

- skipsie on

the three children are absolutely adorable and it shocks me how alike they look <3 Simply precious!

- chrissy on

Wow, its uncanny how alike they look! think this is the 1st pic i’ve seen of the 3 of them, though i dont often see the boys/girls mixed up (ie its always Shiloh/Zahara + Pax/Maddox)

- Lou x on

No denying that’s the same gene pool! wow.

- m-dot on

My daughter is only a few months older then the twins. I wonder if they climb on everything like my daughter does. They are so fearless at that age.

- Angi on

I love seeing this fam!

- shirese on

Viv looks exactly like Shiloh at that age. I definitely see a different look in Knox though. he is more Brad.

- Brooke on

Three of the same adorable sets of chubby cheeks! Nothing cuter!

- Sam on

haha these children are always eating!! but how can they eat ice- cream in this freezing weather?!

Who is carrying who?… these children are beautiful! :D

- blackrose on

Vivienne’s not wearing pink. Quick! Call the police!! I kid, I kid.

Those twins are gorgeous. Vivienne and Knox are adorable. Brad was right, his boy does look like him and Viv does look like her mummy. And I’ll say again, I love how Brad and Angelina make time for their children individually and in smaller groups. Being part of a large family is awesome but you do need that time with Mum and Dad away from the other sibs and I;m glad Brad and Angelina recognise that. Maybe the older children were having school lesson with their tutor?

- Amanda on

I love them to pieces. I love how they let Shiloh be Shiloh. She is a doll. And the twins look like her a lot. Love seeing them out and about. :)

- michelle on

OMG this is the first time I’m clearly seeing Shi’s new hair! Oh she looks like an absolute doll! You know, if you told me Viv and Knox were identical and I didn’t know what sexes they were, I’d believe it! And Vivienne looks EXACTLY like Shiloh did as a baby. Too cute!

- Molly on

Brad is carry Viv, and Ang is carrying Knox (their shoes give it away). Adorable family!

- Lynn on

Vivienne doesn’t have to wear pink, but she doesn’t have to look like a boy either! She is a girl, and far to young to have an opinion on what she wears, so its obvious its Angie n Brad dressing their girls like boys. Maybe Shiloh is a tomboy by choice, but Viv isn’t because shes just a baby.

Also, Shilohs hair color is wayyy darker than it was a couple months back, leading me to believe they dyed it when they cut it. Simply awful. Who fries a young childs hair like that? The cut is cute, and maybe SHi took scissors to it to look more like a boy, but dying a childs hair is where I draw the line! Kids hair is baby soft and doesn’t need to be fried, and kids should EMBRACE who they are!!

I think they are way out of line in letting their kids make their own choices. Draw the line somewhere or you are going to have problems! What happens if Shiloh wants to “try drugs” in her teens. She won’t know the meaning of “NO” from her parents. Sorry if I am being harsh, but its just my opinion..

- Amity on

Knox is Angie, Shiloh &Vivi-Brad.

- Natalie on

I’m impressed that it doesn’t look like Mom & Dad have any ice cream on them from the twins!!

- Janna on

amity: hair often is lighter in the summer and darker (ie, closer to the natural color) in winter,when the sun or chlorine from a pool isn’t bleaching it. the difference of shiloh’s hair isn’t enough to make it look like it’s dyed, in my opinion.
as for vivienne being dressed in “boy’s clothes”: i come from a large family, and a lot of the little kids have darker, neutral colors for their wardrobe. we know they’ll likely get dirty, and they’ll likely get mixed up in the laundry. it’s easier for parents and older siblings if they wear a lot of browns, blacks, greys, etc. they do each have some “gender” color clothes, and once they’re old enough to have a say, their wardrobe changes. but at a year and half, with four older kids in the family, i don’t blame brad and angie for simplifying things…

- noam on

Vivienne look like her sister, Shiloh Knox is more Angelina

- Eva on

I am natural blond, so I am talking from experience. When you cut blond hair, it grows darker. Shiloh’s long hair was very blonde from summer sun and water, when these blonde parts were cut, the hair looks darker. It will probably get lighter in the summer again, that how it always was with me. To assume that they colored her hair from two photos that you saw of her in different lights is as shalow as people who would “fry” their child’s hair to make it a shade darker. Sorry if I am being harsh, but its just my opinion..

- ana on

Cuteness!

- Hea on

Amity her coat is feminine if you look close and honestly its their kid so its up to them on how they want to dress her. I don’t thnik they dyed her hair. My cousin’s hair was the same way. Very blonde and then all of the sudden it just got darker when he was around Shiloh’s age.

- Caroline on

Amity – So Shiloh isn’t a towheaded blonde anymore. That’s perfectly normal, especially if she hasn’t been out much in the sun for a while. She’s getting older and neither of her parents are very light blonde as far as I know..? I live in Sweden where kids are quite often platinum blonde and our kids are slightly darker in the winter because they wear caps all the time.

- Hea on

Well first off, the kids are looking really cute. The three of them look alike, mostly viv and shi are identical, and knox more like brad.

Second, i have to Disagree with you Amity #14 comment. How can you sit there and judge the parents of shi and acuse them of dying her hair first of all. My daughter was born with the exact same color hair as shiloh, and her hair darkened as she got older, did it ever occur to you that her hair might change to brown or black, it happens. Second, just because you dress a girl in dark clothing or not dressing her in pink doesnt mean she would rather dress her kids in boy clothing, thats the most stupid thing i heard. Your opinion isnt harsh hunny, its all garbage. They let there kids be independent and i think its a faze the child is going through, who knows maybe behind clothes doors, shes all about teacups and dolls, or maybe shes into pirates and race cars, who cares. The child is allowed to play with or be who she wants, if every girl growing up had to have long, beautiful hair, with pink dresses then the world would be a little boring dont ya think? sorry for this rant but i hate when ppl judge others when they have no clue about this family and making false accusations about a child or her parents.

- lilly on

Gorgeous kids!!! I think Shi is a great mix of Brad AND Angie, while Viv is all mommy and Knox is all daddy. JMO of course =)

- CTBmom on

I don’t understand the comments (in the past) about Shiloh’s boyish clothing. I have a 3 1/2 yo daughter and for the past 6 months, she has decided what she wants to wear. I let her decide because #1 she’s expressing herself and #2 I know she’s going to stand her ground and #3 they are just clothes! I think Shiloh is the one that calls the shots for her clothes, which is great but if that’s her choice, why are so many people upset by it? I’ll never understand.
I like the non-traditional clothing they dress their kids in, very natural colors.

- Mary on

Anyone notice that Knox is wearing a hat very similar to the one Mad had on in other photos? We know Angelina’s smart penchant for handing down clothing. I think I wondered on here before if she has a “hat, glove, scarf” drawer like me. It’s the easiest thing instead of trying to find this hat or that ear muff.

I think Knox is a Brad physically and the girls seem to have more Angie’s features…..right now. It all could change as they grow.

So cute!

- SiervaMaría on

oh my god amity! not every baby in hollywood has to look like suri. maybe shi’s hair just got darker with age like how violet affleck’s hair got lighter. also have you seen the way zahara dresses you can tell she’s a girly girl, so they don’t dress all the girls like tomboys. just because shi got a short haircut and dresses like a tomboy that means she’ll do drugs! i think they know when to say “no” to ridiculous things like that! the jolie-pitts are a good example on “letting the kids be themselves” and known from experience it’s not really fun having your mom putting you and your twin sister in identical outfits from ages 7 and under. :(

- maggie on

Amity #14, in other photos of the outing, you can clearly see that Vivienne is wearing a “girly” coat. It has leopard prints on the underside. And she’s wearing mary janes! So, there you go.

Anyway, the twins are so cute. They look exactly like Shiloh.

- Sri on

Amity- I agree. The ends kind of look darker than the rest of her hair. Maybe it just got darker? I hope that’s the case.

All of the kids are so cute, and I love Vivienne’s jacket, and Knox’s outfit. And Shiloh’s is kind of a girly color- it’s blue, but a more feminine blue.

- Erika on

Its great to see Brad holding Viv and Angelina with Knox because its usually the other way around.

Shiloh’s haircut is slowly growing on me. I just wish she’d wear more pink or purple lol. Such a tomboy! But she probably idolizes her big brothers and wants to be like them.

- Mandy on

Haha I love the people here because they are not judgmental about Shi’ latest “style.” It’s nice that the parents let her dress up the way she wants. Anyway, the kiddies are adorable. Look at their chubby hands holding the cones! :)

- All Women Stalker on

Amity, if you looked at pictures of my daughter, you would accuse me of coloring her hair too and I never have. She was born with jet black hair that lightened as she got older. It goes through a natural process of being lighter in the summer and darker in the fall/winter. Am I to be accused of bleaching, then coloring my daughter’s hair?
I am assuming you either don’t have children OR your child’s hair has never changed color in any way, shape or form.

- Delaina on

I don’t agree with #14 at all. First, that is a very girly coat Viv has on and she has on a bracelet and cute strapy shoes. Second, I see no difference in color of Shiloh’s hair.

- Sarah on

For the people saying things about blondes turning darker…I’m a natural blonde too. Born platinum, and my hair got darker as well. Thing is, it didn’t take months. It took years and years. And it didn’t get darker with each cut. Hair doesn’t chnge THAT much over months. Hair only grows a half an inch a month, and I am sorry, but Shiloh was PLATINUM just a few months ago. She didn’t even have dark roots indicating it would change. Its obvious they dyed it. So call my comment garbage, but I know about hair color changing from first hand experience as well, and I don’t need to hear anyone elses stories.

And I never said any of the Pitt kids have to be Suri. But when you are so content on such boyish things to put on your daughter, its rather strange. Zahara is older so she has her opinion. Viv doesnt. I’ll give them the benifit of the doubt, but the next picture I see of her baby girl dessed like a boy, will seal the deal that Angie and Brad have “boy” issues. ANd I have stated in another post that I HATE that its ok for girls to wear boyish things and be called adorable, unique, awsome yet if a boy wears a princess gown tights and tiaras they are considered everything but. Double standards make me mad..sorry if I am being harsh, its just my opinion.

- Amity on

It’s so annoying they way people just jump to conclusions like they actually know these people. My hair was as light as Shiloh’s was when I was 1-4 and then it gradually got darker…it’s hair people..tends to change with age. In regards to these terrible magazine covers this week claiming Angie is “making” Shiloh be a boy is distasteful & disgusting…so what if she is going through a phase, I really dont see the huge ruckus it is causing.

Anyways, their a gorgeous family & I love seeing pictures of them more often as we have been =]

- Lola on

OMG! Get over it. Say the kids are cute and be done with it!

- Marci on

That is exactly the point I am making. Hair doesnt get that darker that fast. Its gradual and takes years. Hair only grows half an inch a month, and Shiloh’s hair was ALL platinum before her haircut, which was as recent as a couple weeks ago. Even on the top/roots was platinum. Her hair is clearly brown here. It would be believable if her hair was a dirty blonde or caramel before, but it was platinum.

- Amity on

Adorable kids. Boy is all Angelina ,Vivienne i Shiloh look like twins

- Elza on

I don’t see anything particularly boyish about Vivienne’s outfit…but this debate is tired. I vote that we take a break from it…

- Annabel on

Amity shiloh pics out her own clothes. Read it for yourself:
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20346307,00.html

She’s only 3 years old. She doesn’t have to dress like she just walked out of a “Toddlers and Tiaras” episode.

- PSA on

Amity,
look at Vivienne coat and shoes will you put this on a boy????
And also childrens’s hair change color constantly, it’s not the first case it happen to a lot of children. If you want to speak about parents who dye they children’s hair go to Gwenn Stefanie post.

And please use your brain before you talk about people, it’s clear you only want to offend them, but you just sound very unintelligent.
Sorry but i have to tell it.

- selena on

Mary, do you give your daughter a few choices or just let her pick from the closet? Does she pick the clothes you buy for her? When she gets to the point that she’s telling you what to buy her and telling you how to cut her hair and telling you what she will eat and telling you if she wants to wear a jacket, then you’re being a lazy mom. Otherwise it’s fine. I just have a problem with parents who indulge because it’s easy. When the kids are little and cute, it’s easy to give in but then they get bigger and less cute and suddenly you think you can give them rules. Ask my mother if that worked.

Plus you raise crappy people then send them out into the world to mess with the rest of us. I don’t know what Brangelina are like but some of the posters on here seem to coddle their kids because it’s easy and fun and where’s the harm? We’ll see how your precious angels turn out in ten years…

- Daisy on

Amity I am not quite understanding this “Viv in boys clothing” argument when it is clear the toddler is in a girl’s peacoat, wearing braclets, and has on purple mary janes. What does she have to wear in order to be considered feminine? Dresses? Hello Kitty? Decked in head to to pink? Sheesh.

- Erin on

Both my mother and youngest brother had white-blond hair as babies and by the age of 3 it was Shiloh’s color, and as adults, dark brown. Hair changes color on it’s on and in different ways for different people. Get over it!

- just_jen on

Amity you say next time they dress their baby like a boy you know that Brad and Angelina have boy issues?Who are you? shows that your goal was to attack Brad and Angelina all along.lt’s going 6 years now how about looking at yourself because you clearly have issues.l remember people begging Angelina to fry Zee’s hair and she did not now you want to tell us she would do that to Shiloh.We have seen Viv four times and today is the only time she is in darker colours.Hate can really blind people.

- Blessing on

Amity, I don’t understand how you consider Vivienne to be dressed as a boy. To me, she’s clearly wearing feminine items: Mary Jane shoes and a pea coat. I would love to see your definition of how a girl should dress. Is it the colors that upset you? If so, just because she’s a girl does not mean she’s limited to pink, purple, and other pastels. Black, grey, and navy are all fine choices, as well.

As for the hair, I think it’s ridiculous for you to assume anything about this family. Your experience with natural hair lightening is just that: your experience. It doesn’t mean you can speak for anyone else. Although you said you don’t care about anyone else’s stories, you shared your own so I’ll share mine. When I was around 13 or 14, one of my neighbors had a newborn daughter who happened to be born with a head full of jet black hair. Over the course of a few months, it turned to strawberry blonde. The same occurred for her older son but his hair began as dark brown. Despite what you want to believe, it is possible.

I love Shiloh’s World Cup inspired sweatshirt. I have a similar one but it’s for El Salvador.

- Liliana on

When they were in France over the Summer, it was noticeable that Shiloh’s hair was changing colour. It wasn’t a big deal then, not sure why you’re making a big deal of it now Amity.

Personally, I think Knox is all Brad with Angelina’s lips. Vivienne is all Angelina. If her mother is anything to go by, she’ll be a stunner when she grows up. And it’s hilarious, in some of the photos she’s totally pulling Zahara faces and pouting like Miss Zee, lol.

- Amanda on

Amity, she did have dark roots underneath the blonde tips. Check it out. It’s only the wispy outer layer that’s really blonde.

I love how you said “kids should EMBRACE who they are!!” in the same post as you said Brad and Angelina are way out of line in letting the kids make their own choices. Some choices matter (drugs) and some choices don’t matter at all (haircuts), and the most important thing a parent can learn is which battles to fight and which to let go.

- J.M. on

Amity: This is just the comments section on a website. We don’t have to agree with each other and we can politely disagree. Your first post was fine, but you got a lot harsher in your second. No one was freaking out at you because of your opinion, just sharing theirs.

Okay I had a cousin growing up who was born a platinum blonde. It was blonde for years and then, all of the sudden, it got so dark it was considered light brown. I think that’s what happened to Shiloh. It’s possible. Anyway, the kids are adorable and I’m glad that we see Knox and Viv more. As for the whole clothes issue, my kids can wear anything their heart desires as long as it is weather appropriate, not obscene, and won’t cause them harm. If my son wants to wear a dress, by all means. He can borrow my heels. :) I think it’s great when parents let their kids dress to express themselves, regardless.

- Luna on

lol…I just love the fact that they gave the babies there own cones!

SiervaMaría – we have a hat/glove/mitten/scarf basket. It is definitely so much easier to find things. My boys wear whatever they find or are in the mood to wear. Then everyone just shares.

- kris on

Excuse me,but the way this family dresses their children is no ones business.AMITY perhaps you are having a bad day and need a little attention,so to get it you make unfounded bitter remarks.Yes you have a right to your opinion,and I have a right to my opinion which is to suggest you seek therapy.

- LOL on

I am wondering since when a velvet peacoat with leopard prints, a beanie with a cute bow and marie jane shoes is boyish. Just saying.

- Reese on

I think this is the first pic seeing the younger 3 kids out together at once. They all definitely look alike, but I actually think Knox is all Angelina, the slender nose, the face shape, eyes..etc, full lips: but I think he has Brad’s shape of the lips, and Viv looks a lot more like Brad to me…or a mix of both, like Shiloh. Genetics are amazing.

Shiloh is looking more and more like Angelina as she gets older, but is definitely a mix of both. Cute!

- Mia on

poor Amity!

- blackrose on

I didn’t even realize that was Shiloh @ first, I thought it was a little boy! The twins are too cute though.

- Mary-Helen on

Daisy, so by not adhering to what society deems correct, the parents on this sight who don’t see anything wrong with the way Brad and Angelina parents are raising crappy individuals?

By allowing my sons to express their creativity, I’m letting them be individuals and teaching them to appreciate others differences. As long as the attire is weather appropriate and not offensive, why does it matter?

Although I don’t know how my precious angels will turn out in the future, the outcome won’t be because I didn’t typecast them into rigid roles or let them mix and match articles of clothing.

- Liliana on

She’s not in girly colors because they always dress the whole family in shades of black, grey, brown white. It’s different to see Shiloh wearing colors now. Even Zahara’s girly clothes are usually the muted colors, even a very dull purple that is almost grey. That’s how they’ve always dressed, and Brad switched to that since being with Angie. Viv does have girls’ clothes on though. Look at the shoes.

- Reader on

Amity, my friend’s son’s hair changed instantly when he got his winter hair cut. he had a longish boy cut and very blonde. he got it cut in maybe December and it suddenly looked light brown. she did not color it

- Reader on

I think Knox and Shiloh look so much alike! :)

- Chris on

They are just SUCH a gorgeous family but if Brad doesn’t cut that billy goat growth off his face soon I am going to have a nervous breakdown!!!! Seriously, it’s gross!!! Anyways, I disagree that Knox looks just like Brad and Viv looks like Angelina. I think Knox actually favors his mother and Vivienne looks more like her father. i think that Shiloh is starting to lean more towards her mother’s pouty looks as she ages.

I also want to throw my two cents in about the clothing and style of the Jolie kids. I think people are a little critical about it, but I personally wouldn’t give my daughter a page boy haircut at that age…It is just WAY too short of a cut for a toddler-young aged child. It’s cute, but it’s confusing. I feel the same way about little boys and long hair. It just becomes a little hard to tell because of the ambiguity that children have in there facial features and structure. You can’t tell the gender of the child, so the easiest way to note it is usually from the clothing and hair. In Shiloh’s case, it is even harder to tell because she dresses like a boy and has a boys haircut. I am absolutely NOT judging this by any means. I think it’s every childs right to dress how they want…but, as a parent, i would personally have to draw a line somewhere so that my children didn’t find themselves ostracized by peers and have that akward, “he’s soooo cute!” and then, “nooo, he’s a girl” moment.

Do you people think the same defense would be founded for Knox if he was seen wearing dresses and wearing nail polish at his age?? Think about that.

- Rye on

Well, there is another posting here where a little girl has a boy haircut and “boyish” clothes. These are children, not dolls…

- NLT on

shi’s hair got so dark! i cant believe how much all 3 kids look alike. it will be fun to see them grow up.

- trinh on

Daisy – She has older brothers, she can easily steal from their closet if she want boyish clothe. It’s better and healthier for her that her parent actually buy that kind of clothe. If she had to go around and hiding and lying about what she likes it would affect her a lot more. They can easily dress her a way and she can undress as easily as well.
That being said I do believe a child should have boundaries and rules, but leave your child make a decision about what they want to wear/or what they feel comfortable as long is weather appropriate I don’t see the problem.

- marina on

And Daisy, telling people that they are raising crappy people it’s plain rude! Watch what you said and see what YOUR little angles will be in ten year.

- marina on

Amity, anyone who has blonde hair or knows someone with blonde hair will tell you that it tends to get darker. Don’t go judging them for something you have no evidence to support. So what if their girls want to dress a certain way. What’s Angie supposed to do, force them to look like girly-girls against their wishes? And Zahara is very girly if you look at more pictures of her. Somehow I don’t think not looking like Suri Cruise is going to destroy their futures.

- Linda on

Rye, he’s not supposed to cut off the beard. He grew it out for a role.

- Linda on

ok shiloh is absolutely adorable. i give my kids a choice of what they want to wear, and i love that they are aloowing her to express herself. and as for viv, she’s wearing blue mary janes, she isnt dressed like a tomboy, she wearing a coat so we don’t know whats underneath it. let the kids be, who are we to judge anything. they are adorable kids and and seem to be well adjusted. they are taken care of and thats all that counts

- leslie on

i agree with you marina, i think that shi has older brothers to who she looks up too, wants to dress, play and act like them, its a very natural thing, shes going through a faze, and i think angie and brad just lets her be. My little girl is very girlie but still follows and does what her older bro does. Its very normal. For the hair dying, i cant see angie dying the kids hair. Seriously, like gwen would because shes wild, and out there, and angie is more behind the scenes, i think she has more important things to tend too, not dying her toddlers hair. Also when you travel, and are in different countries your hair does change, and can happen by being out in the sun, or going from colder temperatures, to warm temps, etc… It happened with my little’s girl hair, and my son, both blondies, and my little boy’s got darker, and then got lighter all in a period of 9-14 months.

- lilly on

Whatever Brad Pitt may have to worry about, it is not whether he is the biological father of those three.

And I think the clothing issues touch upon larger issues that can’t be thoroughly addressed in CBB postings. All of the different posters have understandable views. It is good for children to express their identity and not be bound by stereotypes. But like it or not we also live in a male/female world and there are sometimes biological differences. And parents who might seem “open” may actually be molding their children into their preferences.

I think that I, as a young “tomboy,” might have an interesting perspective on this issue. I liked dressing boyishly, but perhaps my mom subtly encouraged this behavior. “Girly” was a disparaging word in our household. As I have gotten older, I have felt pushed into male stereotypes and feel somewhat oppressed because of it. And my successful female friend feels the same way. I loved being a housewife and taking care of my children far more than working in my profession. But I was told I shouldn’t. So my point is that, even as a tomboy, I felt like a stereotypical girl. And I don’t think society imposed those “girly” feelings on me. And what is so wrong anyway with being a girl?

..
Shiloh wears pants. Girls/Women normally wear pants. Shiloh wears shirts. Girls/Women normally wear shirts. Shiloh wears sneakers. Girls/Women normally wear sneakers. Shiloh has a short hair cut. Girls/Women normally wear short haircuts. Boys don’t normally wear dresses. Shiloh is not dressing that unusual. Leave her alone. I am sure for years to come her style will change in many ways. As will her sisters and brothers. Just like their parents styles have changed.

- lac on

Also just to note: Knox and Viv are twins. They probably dress Viv in girly clothes to tell the twins apart. I mean, they have their own look now…but more so when they were newborns. It’s a different experience having 1 baby vs. 2 babies.

- Mia on

Gee, I guess I’ll never find out if anyone else has a “free for all glove, hat, scarf drawer in their home” will I.

I guess I should have ragged on Shi’s hair or clothing and THEN brought up the aforementioned lol!

- SiervaMaría on

My first impression of Shiloh’s “tomboy chic” look was that I didn’t like it, I think she’s such a gorgeous girl and that she should dress like a girl. HOWEVER, I cannot judge her, or her parents, as I have no idea how I would react, or what decision I would make if my daughter requests boys clothes when she is a bit older. Shiloh is beautiful no matter what she wears.

SiervaMaria, LOL to your last comment! I also have a hat/scarf/mitt bin, free for all!

- Elle on

I love love love Shi’s new haircut. Very Twiggy/Katherine Hepburnish!
I agree with the others that these three look so much alike!! Knox is a little different being the boy but otherwise they all have those chubby cheeks, pouty lips, gorgeous eyes.

- Lorus on

stop for a second and look. this is what their family would look like if they hadn’t of adopted. How weird!

- m. on

Shiloh’s hair is so cute. It reminds me of Hayley Mills in The Parent Trap.

- Jane on

NLT- Exactly! Why is it okay for Ramona Sarsgard to have short hair and dress boyish, but it’s not okay for Shiloh to do the same? Is it because Maggie and Peter aren’t as famous (I’m not even sure if Peter is a celeb at all, actually!)? Or is it because people like Maggie but dislike Angie?

Anyway, I agree that Shi’s hair has been getting darker for awhile. If you go back and look at pictures of her in France last summer, you can see that she had darker areas in her hair even then. In fact, I just did a post on my blog with pictures of how Shi’s hair has been darkening for awhile: http://joliepittresource.wordpress.com/2010/02/26/shiloh-jolie-pitts-new-hairstyle/

As for Viv, I agree that she is dressed very girly. In addition to the bracelet and other things other posters mentioned, if you look at some of the close-ups on other sites, you can see that Viv is wearing earrings. :)

Anyway, I think Knox looks more like Brad and Viv looks like Angie, while Shi is more a mix of the two. :)

- CelebBabyLover on

They are very much alike, very cute bunch.I don’t know about the hair color debate, I don’t think it’s dyed IMO. But yeah, I agree with Amity about the clothes thing. As the two older girls are at the age where they can choose at their heart’s content. No matter how much you are into this family, it’s quite obvious Angelina has a huge say in their dressing before age 1 or 2. And let’s face it, we all know what colors Angelina prefers on herself and most moms normally tend to dress babies and toddlers mostly by choice colors or mix it up a bit. Angelina may have been girly somewhat as a child, but that is long gone and as an adult, she has her own preferences and she passes them on to her children. The older kids make their own choices now but you can’t say it’s not influential from their younger days. Yes, Zahara likes the dresses…but not seeing the girls in pink or brighter “girly” colors is by choice and now the older girls don’t care for it so much when they choose for themselves. Agreed you pass on old clothes and whatever fits..but they also have money and can choose more as well and you know they do, just usually not colorful. They are not a perfect family…and I bet there are alot of demons and problems to that family but don’t we all in some way – that should be considered normal I think. We can all only guess on their lives, but what is there to defend on loving/hating them? I think they are good, attentive parents…like all parents we have our odd ways but there is nothing wrong with saying parents influence the young ones however big or small…from their character to their clothing, food etc. You get older and you mix it up a bit.

Vivienne’s clothing is very practical, but feminine. Similar to how Shiloh was dressed from birth to last summer. Vivienne also has earrings and bracelets. Her cardy is black but has girly buttons and her wee coat has a leopardskin patterned lining. How is that boyish? She also has on maryjanes.

What a beautiful family! So great to see Brad and Angie out with their three youngest children. Shio, Knox and Viv all look so adorable. Shi looks a lot like a perfect mix of both of her parents. I think that Knox looks more like his dad and Viv is a spitting image of her mum. Just look at her! She is a real beauty already. And with that hat she looks a lot like her mum in Changeling. Maybe the older kids were at home having some lesson since I believe that they are homeschooled every time when the family is abroad. Or maybe they just wanted mum and dad to have some special one-on-one time with the younger ones. Viv seems also to be daddy´s little girl. Brad is holding her so tenderly that it melts my heart.

The family spend a lot of time around the world, and in most western countries young children have short hair, including girls. It seems in USA that long hair is the norm for girls.

- Jennede on

“Hair doesn’t chnge THAT much over months. Hair only grows a half an inch a month, and I am sorry, but Shiloh was PLATINUM just a few months ago. She didn’t even have dark roots indicating it would change.”

Amity, you who say you’re sorry for sounding harsh but it’s just your opinion. It’s no use apologizing if you’re going to keep up being harsh, scrutinizing and completely convinced of something that is so very unlikely.

You are so absolutely wrong about Shiloh’s hair that I have a hard time finding words to explain to you that the roots does NOT darken like an outgrowth of colored hair. And have you seen Shiloh out and about every week? It can literally be as if it happened over night.

- Hea on

sad, so sad, that the narrowmindedness of some adults STILL continues. especially when they attitude is, “boys can’t wear dresses so girls can’t wear boys’ clothes” – SOMEONE explain that logic to me because to me it seems to fail the basic principles of logic, that seems obvious to me. i don’t understand this obsession with believing that bard and angie don’t WANT their girls to dress like girls. zahara is usually dressed in quite girly clothing i think, shi is clearly a tomboy and what vivenne is wearing here to me just seems like neutral clothing. i have a bigger problem with parents who always want their daughters dressed in pink and frills, that seems so restricting and what if they end up with a little tomboy? she will feel like she is somehow failing her parents weird ideal of what a girl should be.
for christ sake guys, this is the 21st century, i sometimes wonder what small worlds some people must live in…

these are gorgeous pics, very cute little kids.

- JM on

I think Shiloh is turning out to be so gorgeous – and i love this hiarcut she’s sporting – it’s so gamine and elegant and really compliments her boyish style. Someone made a comment earlier that “she’s such a gorgeous girl, she should be put girl things” – or something like that (i’m paraphrasing). Seriously? So, if she hadnt been a pretty child, it would have been OK to be put in boyish clothes? How ridiculous is that argument?

Also – the girl has older brothers for gods sakes – and the Jolie-Pitts are big on hand-me-downs as we know. Shiloh is just a cool little kid wearing what she wants. And SO WHAT??? They’re clothes for sobbing out loud. And whoever made a comment about her wanting to do drugs when she’s older – if you can’t tell the difference between a child being tomboyish and later wanting to risk your health with drugs, then you have your own issues.

And although i personally don’t think that they did dye Shilohs hair at all, nor are they forcing her to have her own style – its not exactly a long shot to think that Angelina would do such a thing, to be honest. I remember her dyeing Maddox’s hair blue or purple and him having a mowhawk and kol-lined eyes when he was Shilohs age or possibly even younger. And thats going even further than “making” a kid dress a certain way. Bear that in mind.

- mememe on

JM – my sentiments exactly. Why should people stick to old rules. I really admire Brad and Angie as parents since they´re not stiffling their children with old-fashioned clothing rules:blue for boys and pink and frilly for the girls.

- Kati on

I think they are all beautiful. However, I think that it is odd and sad that they can’t handle all of their kids out and about at once. Maybe it’s time to throw in the towel if you have so many children that you have to take them out in groups of 3 or 4.

- ALLISON on

I love how Angelina always looks so cool & collected in photos like this….she is so beautiful & looks to be a great mom! ADORABLE kids also, just gorgeous :)

- Dana on

It’s sooo annoying to constantly read”I am shocked my peoples narrowmindedness” Get over it, just because some people think we should be able to do, say, behave in anyway, just respect the fact that a HUGE amount of people still value traditional mores, values, AND SHOCKER gender toles. This child’s haircut is not progressive, and it’s a HAIRCUT, how on earth is a HAIRCUT indicative of the Jolie-Pitts parenting skills? you cannnot tell what kind of parents they are from a haircut. Im not saying they’re doing a bad job, because it’s not our business how they raise their kids, Im more peeved about the people who attack those of us who view thigs a more traditional way, like we need you to “school” us on society and the “rules”. What you find acceptable for your family is probably different then what other family’s find acceptable. If we truly want to be “free” then you should realize that other people do it differently than YOU! With that said, it’s nice to see a pic of them with all 3 of their biological children.

- JessicaC on

Allison: How exactly do you suggest they “throw in the towel”? Should they give a few kids back? Never go out in public again? Hide their faces in shame because you’ve decided from the pictures you’ve seen that they can’t handle all of their kids at once?

My parents had six kids too, and depending on what car they had at the time (in the 70s) sometimes all of us simply couldn’t fit in it at once, so going out with all six of us together was a rarity. Guess my parents were selfish beings, unable to handle all the children they had and they probably should have “thrown in the towel” and killed off a few of us, right?

Amity – unless you reside in the Jolie-Pitt household I think you need to back off with your snarky comments about them dying and frying their kids’ hair. Good grief, who made you the fashion police?

Dress your kids how you want and leave the people to dress theirs as they see fit!!!! Not everyone dresses their girls up in pink and frills….GET OVER IT!!!!!

The kids are adorable and thriving, why the frank obnoxious comments about the way Shiloh or Viv dresses is beyond me. People aren’t judging your kids why are you so incessed about judging other people kids?

- Dee on

does not look like a dye job Amity.
those two photos have completely different qualities. the first looks as if flash has been used, which will brighten most colours. the second is grainy, taken from far away and no flash, so darker.
sure her hair is going to look different.
but stop looking at the long strands. Look at her ROOTS which are clearly darker than the blonder bits.
Most blonde children develop darker hair as time goes on and once blonde hair is cut, it usually appears darker. when it grows longer and shes in the sun, it was get lighter.

- skipsie on

ALLISON your comment is very weird.

- True on

I feel some people here feel that Brad and Angelina doesn’t deserve these kids. One lady keep taking about “traditional values”. One time “traditional values” were segregation in this country. I remember hearing a older women, talk about when they first got a job, she had to wear a dress or a skirt. This was about forty years ago. I’m all for progress in gender roles.

- toni on

http://www.postchronicle.com/images/articles/shiloh-jolie-pitt.jpg

That to me looks like a dye job. And thanx to the person who wrote in about Angie dying Maddox’s hair back in the day…I nearly totally forgot! Then he also had that white/blonde strip too (and I think it was blue before that). Yet there are hardcore defenders of Angie not dying her kids hair and being so perfect. I’m in no way shape or form an Angie or Brad hater. Its you people who think parenting like this is ok.

And I already DID mention something about Gwen and Gavin dying Kingstons hair in another post, but this isn’t a Rossdale family post here. It not only looks bad, but who would do that to a childs hair? Baby soft hair that is uneccissarily fried! They are changing what they look like, what they were born with! Its setting them up for image issues. They should embrace what they look like, without dye jobs. And I never said they had to look like Toddlers and Tiara girls. In fact, I don’t think girls should wear makeup either. Its not what you REALLY look like, once again, setting them up for image issues.

I just think cross dressing your kid is gross. Thats all. And yes, it is my opinion. Nobody has to agree with me or sa “poor Amity” or say that I have some kid of issues or problems with this family or my own self. Sheesh. Its a board to write your opinions. Get over it!

- Amity on

As a postscript, I think that Zahara is probably the real rebel in that family and is also quite the beauty. She has such a twinkle in her eyes and just beams when she smiles. I predict she’ll be a real stunner.

- AE on

OK, Amity, you got me there, you convinced me with the picture you posted. But, LOOK, OMG her FACE is much darker in the second photo! They DID something to her face, no face changes color like that without something being DONE to it!OMG!

- ana on

Some people just amaze me! I usually don’t comment much on here, but some of the comments are here are just outrageous!! Yes Amity, a child’s hair can change somewhat quickly depending on what cut they have and what season it is. I think it usually more apparent in younger children, as well. I was had very blonde hair when I was born and was still quite blond at the age of 2 1/2. But when looking at pictures from my 3rd birthday, I have a medium shade of brown hair! No, my parents did NOT color my hair, it turned naturally by itself. 27 years later I have hair that still goes from medium blonde in the summer to light brown in the winter. Some people highlights come out more so than others. Just because yours didn’t, that doesn’t mean others won’t.

And I think that allowing your children to choose their clothes, shoes, or hair cuts allows them to show more of their personality. Can their choices be close to what their parents may chose for them? yes! That’s what they’ve grown up with and if they look up to their parent, they may want to dress in similar colors or styles. Or they may pick what strikes their fancy! Growing up with twin sisters who were just 12 months younger than me, I was very tomboyish…didn’t wear pink, no dresses or skirts, and played with matchbox cars and legos. But you couldn’t touch my hair! I loved it long. My sisters on the other hand loved girly things…pink and purple, skirts, and dress shoes. They played with Barbies and Cabbage Patch dolls…but they liked their hair short! Kids are all different, so just because the Jolie-Pitt kids are different than yours doesn’t mean that what Brad and Angie are doing with them is wrong. They are raising them their own way and don’t need your input! All the children are beautiful and their parents have given them the opportunity to see so much in their lives already. I’m sure they will be very appreciative of this when they are old to realize this.

Good job Brad and Angie!!! Keep up the great work with your children in allowing them to be individuals and not fall into the general stereotypes that people try to put on us! You have a gorgeous family!

Knox is all Angie, Vivienne resembles her father. Shiloh -more Angelina

- Nancy on

At 4 years old, my mother had my hair cut from long like Shi’s was to a “bowl” cut. In the span of just a couple of weeks, DOCUMENTED BY PHOTOGRAPHS, my hair changed from a dark strawberry blonde to full-scale DARK brunette. And I do have the picture to prove that it’s possible. People accused my mother of dying my hair and she was BEYOND mortified. The only thing she did was cut it.

- Delaina on

O ana thats real mature. So because I say her hair is obviously dyed you have to shoot back with her skin is dyed lol.

SiervaMarie, no we don’t have that all for one drawer. We have a bin with each person’s name on it with hats, scarves, gloves on a shelf. Each bin is about the size of 4 shoe boxes put together. I hope that makes your day :)

- Reader on

Janna- Wow, calm down. No, they should not hide their faces in shame and never go out in public again, who on earth said they should? You are kinda crossing the line with the “killed off a few of us” comment and really exagerating my simple comment. I also highly doubt that they have the issue that your parents had in the 70′s, they have millions of dollars and could actually buy and deck out a school bus if they choose…. Please relax, maybe a bubble bath and a deap breath is in order for you today!

True- How was my comment wierd? I don’t agree with people having more children than they can handle. The Jolie-Pitt parents have said on many occasions that they have several nannies at home because they can’t handle all of the children at once. Brad has also said that he can’t handle any more than 4 at a time. It’s not something I agree with and it’s not the way I choose to live my life. So what! I’m sure Angelina and Brad couldnt care less what any one of us say on this thred, but we are still allowed to state our opinion without being called wierd, right?

- ALLISON on

I wonder how Brad’s parents feel about this?

- Reader on

I do think some people like to cause trouble. I really don’t understand why any of us care what color Shiloh’s hair is or what she is wearing. Seriously, I don’t care. I think the kids are cute, I hope they are healthy and happy and that’s about it. But I think that about all kids in the world. But do I care what they wear or what color their hair is? No. It is not something I even think about.

- Sarah on

Reader, about what? Three of their grandchildren going for ice cream? Because if you’re referring to this tideous, ongoing, “style” debate, I doubt they could care less. Their grandchildren are happy, healthy, and well taken care of. I know I’d be thrilled.

- Alicia on

Some grandparents DO care. I know of many who want their granddaughter to look like their granddaughter. I just thought his parents were very traditional. I wonder if they care or not. Brad’s whole life just changed so quickly when he switched from Jen to Angie, and they suddenly have a completely different ‘daughter-inlaw’. But I guess that is a whole separate topic!

- Reader on

If you look at the picture of Shiloh in the store the lighting is different. Her hair doesn’t look Dyed. But who cares anyway really. Did you give birth her, is she your child, are you paying the bills in that household. NO so why don’t you raise YOUR children the way you want to and let them raise their children the way they want to. I see nothing wrong with letting a 3 and 1/2 year old wear what she wants or have her hair the way she wants it. It doesn’t mean she is going to grow being a boy- she might actually grow up into the most girly girl we will ever see. My daughter is almost 2 and she goes through stages where the only thing you can put her in is a dress or wants to wear her favorite jammies days in a row. As long as she is happy go for it.
People need to stop judging Celebrities they are real people who are trying their best to raise their children. You don’t like when people judge you on how you raise your children- show some respect and get off your high horse.

- B on

Reader, Brad and Angelina have been together for 5 years – I’m sure his parents have had plenty of time to get used to her.

And if they were loving and “non-traditional” enough to embrace three adopted grandchildren from different ethnic backgrouds, I doubt having a 3-year-old daughter with short hair is any sort of issue to them.

- Plum on

As a final comment on the Jolie-Pitts, truly!, I think most of us could stand to lighten up. I don’t see why anyone should be so invested in this family. Let’s not worship at the altar of Brangelina. They’re interesting to a point as a Hollywood power couple, but their biological children are really no more striking than thousands of teutonic children around the world. If anything, trying to be as objective as possible, I don’t think they dress their children to an extreme one way or another. They are all usually dressed rather bland. (I do like the blue in Shiloh’s jacket.) To me, with the exception of Zahara, they all look rather sad and beaten down. But obviously, in the scheme of things, there are bigger concerns, such as the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. I wish the best for this family, and perhaps both parents need to step back from their careers and the limelight a bit and assess what is best for their family. But it is obviously not my concern and merely my humble opinion.

I think this family sparks discussion on larger issues (i.e. gender roles), and I don’t see why there can’t be academic discussion on some of these points. I recommend Alexander McCall Smith’s “Love over Scotland” series. It’s fairly light, sweet, and thought-provoking and provides food for thought about whether sometimes “progressive” can be oppressive.

- AE on

Reader I’m sure Brad’s parents love their 14 grandchildren including the 5 adopted ones 3 from Ethiopia and 1 from both Cambodia and Vietnam. Brad’s sister adopted 2 boys from Ethiopia

- Yoco on

Amity,you need therapy,I suspect your the one with parental issues…..You will stop at nothing to prove your point and your need to be right,as if the Jolie-Pitts care what you have to say.You do come off a little domineering.I feel sorry for your husband(if you have one) and your kids (if you have any)perhaps you yourself was raised in a domineering environment…you can change and become a nicer person through therapy.

- LOL on

Reader. I think that Brad´s parents are totally OK with Shi´s new hairdo and are very loving grandparents to all their 14 grandchildren. They sure love those five adopted ones – Mad, Pax, Zee and Julie´s two adopted sons – as much as they love their nine biological ones. The fact that Julie´s sons and Zahara are black don´t mean anything to them. Those three are still very dear to them. Black or white – who cares! And as far as Angie is concerned Jane and Bill Pitt certainly have already accepted her into the Pitt family and love her a lot. After all she really loves their eldest son a lot and gave him the one thing that was missing from his life:a family!

- Kati on

I don’t like dresses. I never have. I don’t suspect after 30 years that is going to change in the future. Why would I dress a baby in dresses? Especially the pink frilly dresses that are so prevalent for baby clothes? Stylish coats, bracelets, Mary Janes… all of those? I’m cool with.

When my daughter says, “mommy, I want that pretty dress” and she will. I know she will. I will quite happily buy it for her and whatever she wants to wear that is weather appropriate. But why when I’m picking out the clothes should I dress my kid in something I don’t like just so they could fit into a society image of what a little girl should look like?

- B on

JessicaC, i am not telling anyone how to dress their kids. all i am saying that those people with such sexist, and yes narrowminded attitudes, who breed hostility and bigotry and sexism. if you don’t want your child wearing this stuff, fine don’t, but don’t criticise others for dressing their kids this way. because it will be your kids who then go and take that attitude to school with them. my youngest daughter is a tomboy and she has been told countless times that she should wear football shirts, or play football because “it’s for boys”. do you have any idea how upsetting this is for a young child.
like i have said i am proud that my kids would never make fun or even think that a girl dressing like this would be wrong. they accept people how they are. and yes, i do hope that people like you don’t pass these values that they have disguised as “traditional” but are actually sexist, on to their kids.

- JM on

Cute kids. Chill out everyone! These are strangers kids not your own.

- Blue on

I don’t know I’m really over Shi’s look. It’s not something new. For the last year and a half we’ve seen this child in her tomboy look! When I saw the hair I was like, wow dang yeah I would never let my daughter do that but to each their own! – now I see it and it doesn’t phase me. Did anyone stop to think that maybe Shi got to scissors and this is what happened. I cut my hair off when I was 3 and had to have it cut like Shi’s! And we debated thsi before but there are tons of pics of shiloh as a baby in dresses! And I don’t know but Vivi looks like a girl to me. And so what if Angie and Brad choose not to make their children look like Suri..this is their child and nobody elses. I sometimes see more issues with Suri’s style then Shi’s.

- JMO on

It never ceases to amaze me how a group of supposed “sophisticated, educated, working, perfect mothers” have the time to argue about a stranger’s 3 year old haircut-over and over and over again. Hopefully for all the working mothers out there, there employers aren’t monitoring their internet activity. Well my babies are up from their nap, back to the real world…

- JessicaC on

Just stop and think for a second, all of you. You are debating on how someone else’s three year old child should look and dress. Really, we don’t have nicer things to say? We can’t just say oh yeah the kids are cute. And then all of the sudden this turned into a gender-role, hair dying, accepting adopted grandchildren/ Angie discussion. It’s great that we can all share our opinions, but maybe we should follow what I tell the kids, oh i don’t know, 5000 times a day:
IF YOU DON’T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY, DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!

- Luna on

As a side note in my own defense, I never said I think that girls shouldn’t be allowed to wear pants and boyish clothing. I just said that I PERSONALLY don’t think I would give both a page boy hairstyle and dress my daughter in such boyish clothing at the same time. I think I would, as a parent with my own rules, want to draw a line at one or the other. I think, especially at the ages of the children, that they are too young to be vocal about what is appropriate at most times. My nephew constantly wants to leave the house with NO clothes on at all times and only his underwear and sandals…he is 3…should we let him do that??? No. We are parents and guardians to make decisions for the welfare of the children and that is just my personal belief. I think it is perfectly fine if Shiloh wears whatever she wants, I merely was saying that the short haircut seemed a little TOO much imho and I wouldn’t want my child to throw off such gender ambiguity at that age to cause confusion. I am totally fine with the idea of my child being a tomboy…I have several friends with tomboy daughters who are constantly dressing in very male-geared clothing, but there parents are keeping the hair a little longer as not to confuse people. Not confuse the child. Confuse PEOPLE. That is the only issue I have with it. I think it’s confusing and I would personally want my child to have a longer cut at that age if they preferred to be more tomboyish in dress. That’s just me! don’t hate me!!

- Rye on

Likely the family changed Shiloh’s hair and clothes as to discourage attention, because she is one of the world’s most beautiful kids. I can’t blame them. The media can get out of control. Brad and Angelina want Shiloh to live her life as normally as possible. As she was the first biological child of the couple, the media focused on Shiloh instantly. Her parents are two of the most beautiful people in the world, so you know she has their looks. So to divert attention, Brad and Angelina likely have both changed her looks and ,of couse, had more kids. I would not be surprised if they continue this until their kids turn into teens. Then, teens will be teens. Teens do what they want to do!

Clearly the child’s hair has not been “died/fried”. Amity, STFU, already.
As far as the girl is dressed (at least she gets dressed, mine go around half-naked, or worse)… Maybe she is in her “do it by myself” stage and puts on what she wants. Plus, European girl’s clothing isn’t all pink and ruffly and glittery and princess-like. It’s more sophisticated, like grown-up clothes only smaller. Would any of you ladies here wear a Wal-Mart Cinderella dress?

- Christine on

Allison: You think I over-reacted?

OK, so tell me what “throw in the towel” means, because in this here part of the world it means to give up, to admit failure or defeat, or to quit.

So I’ll ask again: How do you propose that these parents “throw in the towel” with respects to their kids?

Those are YOUR words, not mine.

- Janna on

I find it funny how Brangelina are so progressive for letting Shiloh wear what she wants but when Katie Holmes said the same about Suri, they were spoiling her rotten. My older daughters pick out their clothes and like pinks, purples, & sparkles. My 3 year old also adores airplanes and wanted a star wars happy meal toy because it looked like an airplane. My 8 year old also likes pro wrestling lol (well the sanitized bits we let her see & yes she knows it’s fake). Clothes don’t matter and feminine doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy sports or rough & tumble stuff. In essence: they’re clothes and hair. Big whoop. PS Shiloh is not wearing a coat, while Knox & Viv & Brangelina are wearing coats. The horror!

- Mary-Helen on

I’m not even going to weigh in on the clothing debate, but regarding the comment that Brad and Angelina might have too many kids if they can’t take them all out at once.

I think for an average family, it’s doable to take 5, 6, 7 kids out for an outing, but this is probably one of the most recognizable families in the world, perhaps they only take 2 or 3 at a time for safety issues, not because they can’t handle them. If they were able to go someplace and not be mobbed by photographers and fans, maybe they would take all kids at once. But I know if it were me, and I were in their shoes, I’d want my hands on the kids at all times, so if that meant I could only take one or two out on an outing at a time, I’d do it. For their safety and my own.

Just my two cents.

- Lee on

Good Lord, way too many posts about Shi’s hair color. It’s a natural color progression that happens with age. I have every single hair and eye color imaginable in my family and all of our platinum blondes darkened after a few years to various shades of blonde or light brown. A lot of kids start life very white blonde and then end up with deep, dark brown hair. It’s nature and genetics, not the issue of the year.

In the past Ange has let Maddox and Pax have different colors in their hair. Clearly not a “frying” product, probably something that washes out after a certain period of time, like Manic Panic. It might even be something you just spray in that lasts for a week or so before it shampoos out completely. There is nothing wrong with that, it lets the kids be creative. They’re artsy, creative kids. And all of them are gorgeous in their own way.

I think it’s wonderful that they devote so much time to all of their children. It is so clear that they love those kids to pieces. The kids have always been described as well-mannered and well-behaved and for such a public family, Brad & Ange should be commended for that. I love this family and wish them nothing, but health and happiness.

- Lily on

Amity is just looking for attention and I suggest people stop giving them that. I feel JessicaC is doing that same thing too. It’s fine if you want to debate but these two don’t want anyone to disagree with them or point out what’s wrong with any of their comments.

- Lee on

Oh My all this talk about girl haircuts and colors and clothes… leave the children alone, they will wear what they are comfortable in and pick their colors. As the mom of all girls i know you can’t make them into anything they do not want to be. With every daughter I relished the thought of bows and pink and purple… princesses and cheerleaders.. i got my way for about three years when each one determined to be herself regarding clothes and hair and activities and i knew these were not my battles. I chose to focus on their intellect, academics, manners, commitment and respectfulness as areas where there will be no leeway. I will always guide them in these areas but wear what you want and brush your hair how you like it. They are now getting ready for college, one with a basketball scholarship and another with a volleyball and the final with a softball scholarship ( so what if she refused to brush her hair for quite some time) No dancers No cheerleaders(which is my comfort zone) only the most well adjusted respectful young ladies I could have hoped for. My direction wasn’t theirs but they knew better in alot of ways!!

- Lisa on

oh my goodness. scary and sad. i just read the comment “cross dressing.” there are people praising the fact they are out with their “biological” children. People freaking out about toddlers wearing pants and nail polish (yes, my son has worn both.) And finally … wonder how the grandparents feel? These are (by all appearances) extremely happy, healthy, privleged children receiving amazing educations, traveling the world, learning kindness and giving, while still having the benefit of tons of siblings to play and have fun with…do you really think the grandparents are upset because Shiloh has pants on or cut her hair? Wonder what Mad’s blue mohawk did to them…Z’s wild fro…imagine the devastation. Also…we have maybe seen 5 pictures in the past 6 months…yet they NEVER take all the kids out together. Really? I think it is great how they mix up family outings and “individual” outings. Each kid gets both special time and family time. Perfect. Obvious they adore their children and that should be way more than enough.

- brannon on

Good grief there is a lot of name calling going on, yet I guess the moderators allow insults to others when it concerns the holy couple. All you people saying things like STFU would not be singing the same tune if the boys show up in pink skirts or tutus. Shiloh in boys clothes is cute, but what would you think of Pax in Princess attire? Ah your views change now huh? SEXIST DOUBLE STANDARDS!!! Suri, Rene Charles, Spears kids etc are scrutinized at every chance, but when its Jolie Pitt – oh its cute and its ok…. Also this is a MESSAGEBOARD not a FANBOARD, so no one is forced to AGREE with what you say and not liking the kid’s attire does not make one a bad parent, or a bad person or whatever other little colourful thought that enters through your Brangelina obsessed mind. Be open minded and respect the fact that not all of us are enthralled with Brangelina- they are ACTORS, therefore can manipulate any situation they want. They might be good parents but they are ACTORS and can fool any of us. If you think they are good parents based on simply pictures, then we have a serious problem (just like I can’t claim otherwise) – ACTORS present an ILLUSION, you have no proof that they are not fooling you, and I have no proof to prove otherwise, so get off your high horse and DEAL WITH IT

It is true that her long, wispy locks were very, very blond – most likely her original un-cut baby hair – but her hair was already beginning to darken UNDERNEATH as evidenced in this photo of her from August28, 2009:

After viewing this photo, imagine cutting her hair short and layering it- you WOULD be cutting away nearly all her super blond hair.

Actors are human beings. They are not on 24/7. All this photo shows is a family going out for gelato period. Nothing unusual about Shiloh or her brother and sister. It’s been five years of “fake” photo ops (sarcasm. Some people need to move on.
If you disagree w/ someone’s inane comments you have every right to say so as much as they have the right to make inane comments.

It’s nice to have a job where the family can travel w/ you. Been to Venice and when you stay in those hotels you get around by water taxi.

Sorry piglet but my son wears pink all the time, occasionally wants his toes painted and wore his cousins tutu to the market 2 nights ago. No double standard here. He is 3! Do I let him wear a tutu to school? Of course not – but I wouldn’t let my daughter either. You hear all the time that “kids are so cruel.” no more wondering why.

Ok so lets drop “tu-tu’s” and Disney princess stuff because obviously everyone thinks that is the look I want the Pitt girls to go with. Not true.

Would you let your SON wear a pink and purple Hannah Montana shirt with a bow on it, to school? You wouldn’t let a boy (or girl in your case, brannon) wear a tu-tu to school, but would you let him where the Hannah Montana shirt? No, right? But I am sure you would have no problem sending your daughter to school dressed like a boy. Its a double standard, and anyone can argue that its not, but it is.

Also, you all talk like you encourage “artsy, creative” stuff, and act like everyone has a right to be themselves and be comfortable, but then turn around and say “they would be made fun of, or picked on” if a boy dressed like a girl to go to school. Well, why should you or your child care what other people think if your so into “being yourself and being comfortable”? Maybe a boy would be comfy in those clothes. Hypocrites much???

I had that same haircut when I was Shiloh’s age because I decided to play “Beauty Parlor” with my Mom’s sewing scissors. It was the only way for the real beauty parlor to fix my hair. Both my Mom and I liked the ease of care so much (read me not pitching fits about having barrettes and pony tails) that we kept it that way until I was old enough to take care of it myself.

My boy would absolutely get to wear a Hannah Montana shirt if he was comfortable with and wanted to be wearing one. And I’d paint his fingernails while I painted my own if he wanted to try nail polish. If he wanted a doll for his birthday, he’d get on because I think it’s important that boys and girls have both toy cars and toy dolls to play with.

Hea- I totally agree!! I think it’s wonderful that you do that. I do the same. At a young age, children are just curious. My son has playdates with a little girl his age that I host at my home twice a week. At her house, she only has dolls, princess stuff, etc.. and she is so excited when she gets to come over to our house and play with cars, action figures, blocks, paint,get dirty, etc… and we still have a few dolls with strollers that she is welcome to as well. I find it sad when parents only allow the “appropriate gender toys” into their homes. Let them experiment and find their own way!!!

- ALLISON on

Piglet of course its a double standard females in our society are allowed to wear slacks, mens shirts, vest etc. I’m wearing pants at work today obviously my husband would be fired if he wore a dress to work. Little girls have the option of wearing pants or dresses to school in most places littles boys don’t. As for nail polish there are several pics of Maddox wearing nail polish.

- cassie on

Adorable photo! I want some ice cream/gelato now. Oh, and can I have the adult version of Shi’s jacket? :D

- FC on

cassie- Exactly! Also, Pax has sported nail polish at least once, too….in Knox and Viv’s introductry photoshoot! :)

- CelebBabyLover on

While I think Amity went about it the wrong way (nor do I believe Shiloh’s hair is dyed) I can see why people would think that, as Pax & Maddox have both had their hair bleached & dyed blue, orange, etc in the past. I used manic panic & the temp dyes to do my hair crazy colours when I was young & in order to have those vibrant colours, I had to bleach my hair & mine was brown. Pax @ Maddox would have had to have the same thing done, & @ one point Maddox had blonde streaks. So it’s been done with the elder children in the past.
