Just when we thought Hollywood’s most genetically blessed offspring couldn’t serve another headline-worthy transformation, Shiloh Jolie’s 2025 look has done it again. The 18-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie is turning heads with her bold new style—and fans can’t help but point out how much she’s becoming her mum’s lookalike.
With her signature swagger, high cheekbones and brooding cool-girl energy, it’s getting harder to deny the obvious: Shiloh is looking more and more like her famous mum every day.
From red carpet cameos to edgy buzzcuts and ballet moves, Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh Jolie is coming into her own. Below, we round up all the times the tastemaker teen could’ve been mistaken for a young Angelina—style, stare, and all.
Shiloh Jolie’s Braids Have Fans Seeing Double
Shiloh’s most recent viral moment came courtesy of a casual paparazzi snap—yes, really. Spotted out in LA wearing black trousers and a white crop top, Shiloh’s sleek new braids immediately sent fans into a frenzy, with many comparing the look to Angelina’s 2001 Tomb Raider era. The parallels were uncanny: the athletic aesthetic, the minimalist palette, the smouldering stare.
But beyond the visual likeness, it was the attitude that sealed the deal. Calm, confident, and totally unfazed by the cameras, the teenager radiated the same magnetic coolness that defined her mum’s early 2000s reign. As HELLO! rightly pointed out, this was a full-circle moment for the once-tomboyish daughter of one of Hollywood’s most recognisable women.
And we’re certainly not the only ones taking notice, with the Maria actress sharing her own thoughts about the similarities in a 2007 interview with People: “Shi’s so full of light and love, she’s just a little honey, and very, very funny. I think I’m recognising some of myself in that one — she’s going to be a little bit of trouble!”
Shiloh Jolie’s Style Evolution: From Tomboy To Angelina Lookalike
Once affectionately known for her androgynous style and self-assigned moniker “John,” Shiloh’s wardrobe has undergone a quiet transformation in recent years. Though her early style was mostly geared towards tailored suits, hoodies, and sneakers are wardrobe staples—Shiloh never felt the need to perform for the public gaze. Instead, she was carving out space to figure out who she was.
“I think she is fascinating, the choices she is making,” Jolie said of her daughter’s individuality in an interview with Reuters in 2010. “I would never be the kind of parent to force somebody to be something they are not. I think that is just bad parenting,” she continued.
“Children should be allowed to express themselves in whatever way they wish without anybody judging them because it is an important part of their growth.”
Now? She’s blending that foundational fortitude with subtle nods to her mum’s iconic wardrobe. It’s a Shiloh Jolie transformation that’s been years in the making, and it’s cemented her status as a rising fashion icon in her own right—and a serious Angelina Jolie lookalike.
Shiloh Jolie & Angelina Jolie’s Dior Moment: The Ultimate Lookalike Red Carpet
Remember the 2021 premiere of Eternals? While Angelina turned heads in an olive draped gown, it was Shiloh, then just 15, who stole the show by repurposing one of her mother’s earlier Dior dresses. The dress had been reworked to suit Shiloh’s style and age, but the resemblance between the two was impossible to ignore.
They didn’t just share an outfit; they shared a presence. Poised and self-assured, Shiloh’s appearance marked one of her first major style moments—and hinted at the fashion legacy quietly brewing within the Jolie gene pool.
Turns out, Angelina Jolie has a penchant for letting her daughters dip into her wardrobe of iconic gowns, “I’m like, ‘Oh my God, wear it and wear it better than me! Take it, it’s your turn,’” Jolie said in an interview with E!, and she wasn’t lying.
In 2021, then-16-year-old Zahara was spotted stunning the red carpet in her mother’s Elie Saab dress that she wore to the 2014 Academy Awards, and it wasn’t just Zahara who took her style cues from her famous parent’s closet. “My kids are all mixed with vintage, and in my old Oscars dress,” Jolie told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “We did all vintage and upcycled my old stuff.“
Dance Like Nobody’s Watching (But Everyone Is)
Shiloh may not be gunning for Hollywood stardom just yet, but she’s already built a devoted fanbase online thanks to her dance skills. Her high-energy performances at LA’s Millennium Dance Complex have racked up millions of views, showing a new side of the usually reserved teen.
Not only does she move with the same elegance and intensity that made Angelina a standout on screen, but there’s a joy and ease in Shiloh’s movement that reminds fans of a younger, freer Jolie—before the heavier headlines began dominating the news cycle. It’s proof that even when she’s not trying, the similarities still shine through.
There’s no denying the striking physical resemblance between Shiloh and Angelina—but what’s even more compelling is how their connection transcends looks. Shiloh’s growing self-assurance, quiet charisma, and artistic flair all speak to a shared spirit more than anything skin-deep.
In an era where celebrity kids are constantly being scrutinised, Shiloh Jolie is doing something quietly radical: evolving in public without ever feeling performative. And if that’s not peak Angelina energy, we don’t know what is.
