Angelina Jolie has always been a symbol of defiant elegance. Her recent public appearances alongside her children continue to prove that her style is as sharp as her family values. Stepping out in her signature palette of sophisticated neutrals and flowing silhouettes, the Oscar winner remains a master of effortless chic. As her eldest son, Maddox, carves out his own path in the film industry, he is making a bold statement that goes far beyond his wardrobe.
Angelina Jolie’s son Maddox reportedly drops Pitt surname and goes by Maddox Jolie in film credits
According to a report by PEOPLE, Maddox has officially begun distancing himself from his father Brad Pitt‘s famous surname. The young filmmaker has reportedly opted to use “Maddox Jolie” in the credits of his mother’s film project. While he was originally known as Maddox Jolie-Pitt, this shift signifies a major change in his public and professional identity.
The report suggests that Maddox doesn’t use “Pitt” on any documents that aren’t strictly legal. Instead, he prefers to use “Jolie” in his day-to-day life. Sources told the outlet that Maddox “wants to legally change his last name to Jolie.” This piece of news comes amid the long-standing legal battle between his parents. Interestingly, the report notes that Angelina Jolie herself has expressed that she does not support her son legally dropping the “Pitt” name.
The article further reveals that as an adult, Maddox has provided testimony in the ongoing custody dispute. His statements were described by sources as “not very flattering toward Brad.” This personal stance seems to be the driving force behind his name change. As Maddox continues to support his mother on set, his choice to be credited as a “Jolie” reinforces the tight-knit bond they share. While his fashion sense remains understated, his decision to change his name is a loud and clear professional statement.
Despite the internal family complexities, Angelina continues to lead with grace. Recently, she has been spotted looking radiant in minimalist attire. She often favors monochromatic black ensembles and oversized sunglasses that highlight her timeless beauty. Her clothes mirror her strength—structured yet fluid. Whether she is wearing a classic wool coat or a tailored dress, she exudes a sense of calm composure.
