Shiloh Jolie looks more like her actress mom Angelina than ever after styling her long hair in Lara Croft braids
Shiloh Jolie bore a striking resemblance to her famous mother when she was spotted catching up with her pals outside of a dance studio in Los Angeles over the weekend.
The 18-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie was the spitting image of her mother, as she had her long hair tied up in Dutch braids that resembled the eye-catching hairstyle her mother wore to play Lara Croft in her two Tomb Raider films.
The mother–daughter duo also shared the same chiseled features that helped make Angelina an A-list star decades earlier.
Shiloh was pictured taking it easy with her dance classmates on Saturday as they relaxed and snacked on the steps leading up to the front entrance.
The outing comes months after a source close to Shiloh’s father, Brad Pitt, told DailyMail.com that he was determined to fix their broken relationship now that she had turned 18, despite her decision to drop his last name.
The nepo baby also seemed to share with her mother — a former special envoy to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees — a commitment to social justice, as she wore a black hoodie for the nonprofit fundraiser United Way.

Shiloh only strengthened her resemblance to her famous mother by tying her short blond hair up in Dutch braids, which bore a strong resemblance to the braids her mother wore as Lara Croft in her Tomb Raider films.
She was pictured browsing through her phone while chatting and laughing with her friends and classmates, who had all joined her to sit on the front steps.
Back in July of last year, the choreographer Kolanie Marks spoke with People about Shiloh’s dedication to her dance education.
The dancer, who said he had worked with Shiloh for ‘a couple years now,’ praised the teen for how she adapted to his strenuous routines.
‘My style is a lot harder for a lot of people and it’s something that she’s dedicated herself to trying to figure out,’ he said, while praising her commitment ‘to a craft that is extremely hard.’
He added that, though he makes sure to protect Shiloh’s privacy and not get into the conflict within her famous family, it was easy to forget her high-profile origins because of how assured a dancer she had become.
He also singled out her single greatest gift as ‘consistency,’ explaining that Shiloh regularly trains not just with him but with other dancers and choreographers to continue developing her skills.

Although Shiloh is sticking close to home, Angelina revealed to the New York Times last month that she’s dealing with ’empty nest syndrome’ after one of her songs — believed to be Maddox — moved to NYC; (L-R) Maddox, Vivienne, Zahara, Shiloh and Knox seen in Hollywood in 2021

It’s not clear if Shiloh has any big moves planned in the near future, but for now she’s staying close to her mother Angelina in Los Angeles, even as the Oscar winner has been suffering from ’empty nest syndrome’ after another of her children moved away.
Late last month, the actress revealed to the New York Times that one of her sons have moved east to New York City, where he was living in an apartment she had purchased early in her career following her success in the biopic Gia.
Although she didn’t specify among her sons Maddox, Pax and Knox — all of whom she shares with her ex Brad — it is believed to be Maddox, 23, as Pax is regularly seen around Los Angeles, while Knox is only 16.
During the chat, Angelina joked that her son is like plenty of other young men in making neatness and cleanliness secondary concerns.
‘The other day I said I was going to pop by, and he was like can you just give me a day to clean?’ she recalled.
‘I thought, I appreciate that, you should clean up for your mother,’ she said. ‘But also, how bad is it?’
Maddox appears to be following in his mother’s footsteps with a path in Hollywood.
He has already worked as an assistant director on several films she has either directed or starred in, including 2015’s By The Sea — which she and Pitt starred in before their divorce — 2017’s First They Killed My Father and Pablo Larraín’s 2024 biopic Maria, in which she played the iconic opera singer Maria Callas.
Although Maddox wants to be involved in filmmaking, and Shiloh is interested in dance performance, Angelina stressed in an interview with Good Morning America from November that none of her children see themselves working in front of the camera like her or their estranged father.
