Three years after his last industry event appearance, Angelina Jolie’s rarely-seen son was spotted at an awards show, where fans dubbed him the “male version” of his mom. Entertainment icon Angelina Jolie, 49, looked radiant in the dress she wore to attend the 2024 Governors Awards in Hollywood on November 17. However, it was her lookalike son, Knox Jolie-Pitt, 16, who stole the show with his handsome features. The 16-year-old, who was previously spotted out shopping in July, had netizens swooning over him.

The “Maleficent” star donned a striking, thin-strapped halter neck gown that was gold and pale yellow. Her floor-length dress featured lace hemlines. In addition to its halter neck design, the gown was fastened together with straps on each side that connected in the middle of Angelina’s back. She accessorized with glamorous diamonds, including dangling silver earrings that had flecks of gold, and an extravagant necklace.

Completing her look, Angelina fashioned her dark tresses into a half-up, half-down hairstyle, and left a few strands loosely framing her face, which was adorned with light makeup.

Matching his mother’s chicness, Knox, who is currently rocking a buzz cut, sported a classy black suit with a matching bowtie and formal white top. He paired his outfit with black dress shoes. Online photos show the mother-son duo posing on the carpet with their arms interlinked. In most of them, Knox flashed his pearly white teeth, while Angelina showcased a more demure smile. However, in a standout video that was shared on TikTok, the Award-winning actress was seen with a wide grin as she lovingly looked at her son, while they stood in front of an Oscars backdrop amid the flashing cameras.

Social media users who saw the media of Angelina and Knox marveled at the striking resemblance he shares with his mom and praised the teen’s looks. “This is like her male version ,” remarked an Instagrammer. Another echoed, “He looks like her,” while someone else reiterated, “Omg he looks exactly like mom.” “He is so handsome he looks just like her,” swooned a fan. Echoing the sentiment, a fellow admirer gushed, “He’s so beautiful just like his mother.” “Knox is going to break hearts!!!!” exclaimed another fan.

Taking the mother-son lookalike comments further, other netizens expressed how Knox looks nothing like his famous dad, Brad Pitt, with one user observing, “Wow the Jolie genes are strong in this child, I don’t see Brad at all.” Some people directly responded to a media outlet’s post, which dubbed Knox a “young Brad Pitt.” “But…he looks almost nothing like his dad. His nose. He MIGHT have his dad’s nose,” noted a spectator, while another penned, “Not really, I don’t see Brad Pitt in his looks.”
