Shiloh Jolie-Pitt debuts punk makeover with lip piercing in New York

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 19, debuted a punk-inspired transformation over the weekend in New York, wearing platinum blonde hair and a centered lip labret during a shopping outing at the San Gennaro Festival in Manhattan's Little Italy.

The new look featured a minimalist approach to jewelry, with the lip piercing serving as the standout detail. She traveled with close friend and dancer Keoni Rose, pairing the bold accessory with a smoky eye and icy, side-parted tresses. Her outfit was laid-back and practical: an oversized Scarface hoodie, baggy navy jeans and sneakers, underscoring a stark shift from the pared-down styles she has favored in the past. The duo wandered through the festival crowds, stopping here and there to browse vendor stands as onlookers took in the edgy new aesthetic.

Reaction on social media moved quickly, with fans weighing in on the transformation. Some commenters praised the look as a confident, punk-inspired evolution that echoes a mainstream early-2000s aesthetic, while others debated the implications of a public figure’s child adopting a more provocative style. Several posts highlighted familial resemblance, noting that the platinum hair and visible pout underscore features associated with Jolie and Pitt.

The sighting comes as Jolie has publicly described her children as independent from the celebrity spotlight. Jolie, who has six kids with Pitt, has said repeatedly that her children are not pursuing acting at present, stressing that they should be free to explore their own interests. In a February appearance at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Jolie said her kids have no desire to be in front of the camera and emphasized the importance of letting them discover what they want to do as they grow.

Shiloh has long pursued talents beyond acting. The teen has trained in dance for years and has built a profile in that world in parallel to her family's high-profile career. She has been a member of Millennium Dance Complex for many years, and choreographer Keelan Carter has publicly commended her discipline and talent as a dancer. While her public profile has remained relatively private compared with her siblings, Shiloh has occasionally stepped into the spotlight, including earlier in her life when she appeared in her mother’s projects and, at times, behind the scenes.

Shiloh’s evolution mirrors broader conversations within the Jolie-Pitt family about individuality and privacy. Jolie has described motherhood as an ongoing process of supporting each child’s journey, whether in art, dance, or other passions. The family remains notable for its varied paths, with Jolie often highlighting that each child develops interests that may diverge from the traditional Hollywood path. The six children are Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and the twins Knox and Vivienne, all of whom have spent time around film sets but have pursued their own interests in recent years.

Shiloh first drew public attention as a toddler when she appeared beside her father in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. She later contributed voice work to Kung Fu Panda 3 and has since focused more on dance and other creative outlets. Jolie has said that her children’s creative interests span dance, painting, theater, and more, underscoring her belief in supporting authentic passions rather than steering them toward a particular career path.

In the broader context of the Jolie-Pitt family, the weekend sighting of Shiloh at the San Gennaro Festival underscores the ongoing balance between private life and public interest in a family that remains among the most scrutinized in Hollywood. While Shiloh’s latest look will likely fuel discussion online, it also adds another chapter to the evolving public identity of Jolie’s children as they navigate adolescence and early adulthood amid constant attention.
