First Time Angelina Jolie Brings Home Baby Mattox After Adoption Picture

Angelina Jolie has had many a show-stopping red carpet moment.

From the the satin and sheer slip dresses of the Nineties and the leg-popping Atelier Versace moment of 2012 Oscars to the Saint Laurent deconstructed tuxedo at the 2014 BAFTA Awards, and her most recent appearances wearing spookily embellished gowns for the Maleficent 2 publicity tour, Jolie commands a red carpet camera like no other.

Since becoming a mother, it's now not unusual for the actress to bring along her brood of six children to premieres, award ceremonies and charity galas.

On April 20, 2021, Jolie spoke about how she navigates her career while raising her children, who she co-parents with her ex husband Brad Pitt following their 2016 separation. Jolie said she is now more selective about the projects she chooses and has opted more for acting work rather than directing because this allows her to spend more time with her family.

'I love directing, but I had a change in my family situation that's not made it possible for me to direct for a few years,' the actor told Entertainment Weekly. 'I needed to just do shorter jobs and be home more, so I kind of went back to doing a few acting jobs. That's really the truth of it.'

A month later, she described her brood as 'cool people'. 'We're such a team so I am very, very lucky,' Jolie told E!'s Daily Pop. 'I'm always the one who worries but I don't worry about them. They're cool people.'

On May 12 the actor opened up to Lorraine Kelly on her ITV show about how she's spent more time at home in recent years, noting: 'The last few years I haven't been able to direct. I've been home much more. I've done a few films but I've been mostly been home.

'They're very important years to be home. It's a certain time for our family when I've needed to be home but these are the years when they're really growing into adults. I'm happy to be there and try to make sure... I do the best that I can.'

Here are all the times Angelina Jolie's kids have scrubbed up and won the red carpet just like their mother always has, with a brief introduction to the large family.

Angelina Jolie's children

Angelina Jolie has six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne.

On November 18 Jolie was photographed walking the red carpet with her son Pax, 17, and Shiloh, 15, at the premiere of Paper & Glue in Los Angeles. The trio were joined by the artist JR.

The mother and children looked casual, with the actor wearing a simple black midi dress, Shiloh dressed in a black hoodie and jeans and Pax wearing a checked shirt and jeans.

On October 27 the actor walked the red carpet at the London premiere of her upcoming Marvel Studios' film Eternals with five of her children, minus Pax.

For the occasion the 46-year-old's daughter Shiloh, 15, borrowed her black-and-white Dior dress, worn by the award winner two years before. The teen up-cycled the look by shortening its length, gathering the straps and embellishing the top.

On October 18 the proud mum stepped out on the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere for her film with her brood.

For the occasion the family wore a range of neutral outfits in shades of black, beige and brown. However, we couldn't help but notice the actor's daughter Zahara was photographed wearing her mother's 2014 Academy Awards dress - an Elie Saab Couture champagne-hued gown.

'My kids are all mixed with vintage, and in my old Oscars dress,' Jolie told Entertainment Tonight. 'We did all vintage and upcycled my old stuff.'

We can't believe how much they've grown!

In her exclusive essay for ELLE's September issue this year, Jolie wrote of her pride for her children.

'I could not be prouder of my sons for the men they are becoming, the way they respect their sisters and are respected by them...,' she penned.

'I often tell my daughters that the most important thing they can do is to develop their minds. You can always put on a pretty dress, but it doesn't matter what you wear on the outside if your mind isn't strong. There is nothing more attractive – you might even say enchanting – than a woman with an independent will and her own opinions.'

Maddox is Angelina's first child, who she adopted from Cambodia in 2002 when he was seven months old. Now, 18, he recently enrolled at university in Seoul, South Korea - something Jolie said makes her so proud of him.

'I feel my world expands as their world expands, I'm excited. Maddox was so ready,' she told ET.

Pax Jolie-Pitt

Fifteen-year-old Pax was adopted by Jolie from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam when he was three years old in 2007. The teen attended the 2018 Golden Globes with his mother last year.

Zahara Jolie-Pitt

Angelina Jolie first welcomed a daughter into her life in 2005, when she adopted Zahara from Ethiopia.

In December 2021, Jolie was joined by Zahara, now 16, to champion an important cause regarding the safety of women in the US.

The mother-and-daughter duo visited lawmakers in Washington, D.C in support of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), first signed by President Bill Clinton in 1994.

Zahara is seemingly following in her mum's footsteps when it comes to activism, with Jolie sharing a photo of them from their female advocacy trip.

The pictures posted on Jolie's Instagram account included one of her with daughter Zahara and Texas-based Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, who is co-sponsor of the Senate for Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization.

Other photos were taken at her meeting with Senator Lisa Murkowski, co-sponsor of the same organisation in Alsaka.

The 46-year-old actor's final photo in the round-up was of her at a working session at the Embassy of Tribal Nations.

At the time, she was with Kerri Colfer, Senior Native Affairs Advisor for National Indigenous Women's Resource Centre in Tlingit, as well as Kelbie Kennedy, who works for the National Congress of American Indians Policy Counsel in Choctaw.

In the accompanying caption, Jolie wrote: 'Honoured to visit Washington, DC, with Zahara, working with advocates and lawmakers to modernise and strengthen the #ViolenceAgainstWomenAct to include protections for children's health and safety, communities of colour, tribes, LGBTQ survivors, rural areas, and all survivors.'

Jolie, who founded the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation, dedicated to tackling issues such as severe rural poverty and preserving the environment and wildlife in Northwestern Cambodia, concluded by addressing the reforms needed to make positive changes.

These include judicial training, court procedures that alleviate children being at harm, all-inclusive technology and impartial forensic evidence.

The longtime supporter of social causes also directed people to the VAWA page, encouraging support of the cause.

In October 2021, Zahara attended the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil premieres with her mother sporting what is reportedly her own jewellery designs.

And back in September 2021 the teenager walked the red carpet with her famous mum at Variety's Power Of Women gala in Beverly Hills.

The 16-year-old wore a white blouse, ivory-coloured trousers and trainers, while her mother was dressed in a hazelnut-coloured pleated high-neck dress, while honoree poet Amanda Gorman stunned in a strappy floor-length pink number.

When Vivienne, now 11, was five she starred in Angelina's film Maleficent as the young Aurora to Elle Fanning's character. However, Angelina recently said that her youngest daughter's stint as an actress was short-lived.

'Vivienne still can't believe I made her a princess,' Angelina told People. 'She likes her overalls, I can't put her in a dress. So she's like, "How could you make me a princess?"'

Angelina clarified that none of her children want to follow in their parents' footsteps into Hollywood, instead having expressed desires to work in the humanitarian or business fields.

Now you're familiar with the members of the A-List clan, here's all the times, they've joined their mother on the red carpet - starting with the most recent:
