Oh my God! Grandma and Grandpa Pitt took the four oldest Jolie-Pitt children out for some sight-seeing in Venice, and these photos are epic. I think the kids were playing some sort of jumping contest? There are lots of photos of the kids in mid-air, which is funny. People Magazine tries to play it cool, saying that Jane and Bill Pitt were “strolling around Venice, Italy, again – this time with their older grandkids: Maddox, 8½, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, and Shiloh, 3½, who led the way in an adorable sailor outfit. Equally fashionable? Sister Zahara, who held onto a Hello Kitty clutch.” Hello Kitty? The Empress approves of Hello Kitty?!? Must. Bow. Down.
In two years that’s going to be Chanel. Mark my words.
Additionally, little Shiloh/John was rocking her best tomboy gear, in what seems to be a nautically-themed ensemble. My guess is that Grandma picked it out. And I know the tabloids love to fret over her tomboy clothes and her little bowl cut, but damn, she looks so cute! That haircut is adorable. Plus, it looks like she’s doing The Robot in this photo:
And here she is mid-air:
I love the way the boys are dressed too. Maddox and Pax both have a strong sense of style. Even though Maddox is clearly “the star” of this photo, my eyes are drawn to Pax. He’s like the Vietnamese Nico.
So cute!

Aww, those kids are so darn cute. Lol at Zahara’s face. She’s totally giving “I’m too cute for this bullsh!t” look. Awesome.
Zahara is only five and she already has that effortlessly stylish look. I think this girl is going to run Vogue one day.
Amazing 🙂 It’s such a pleasure to look at them all together. They’re such a beautiful family.
Beautiful kids :o)
cute pics…
Cannot wait until they’re all about 10 years older……..
awww they are cute
I wonder what it would feel like to have your entire childhood captured in photos–and I mean way more than the overzealous parent might want to do. I also wonder what went through Jane and Bill Pitt’s mind in realizing that when they are with their son or his family their every move is captured.
They are cute! Gramma’s talking to the help, Angie will be appalled.
Empress Zee is my fav but speaking as one person of coulour to another her hair needs to be combed somethin fierce. My advice to angie and Brad is find a nice person of colour to do her hair then miss ZEe will SHINE!!
Are we sure that the Empress’s bag isn’t Chanel, just with Hello Killy pasted on?
(can you imagine Crypt Creepin’ Karl’s face at such an insult – he might even go as far as to raise a dusty eyebrow!!!)
Really cute kids. Shiloh does look like a boy though. I have trouble thinking the words “she” and “her” when I see this child.
@ 11. Mairead, it is I am sure of it. LOL at imagining Karl’s face if he caught wind of the blaspheme.
Love Shiloh! She’s too funny and cute. Miss Z is beautiful…
For some reason, I love that these kids have something as normal as Grandma and Grandpa Pitt from Ohio in their lives…it’s a nice counterpoint to the jet-setting lifestyle.
I’m not criticizing the way they are being raised in the slightest, I just think it is probably really hard to preserve anything normal in the fishbowl of their life, so I like it when they get a little taste of it, like jumping around with their grandparents.
@alibeebee: Z’s hair looks fine, honey, and the last thing she needs is somebody who never met her and never will playing hair police. Speaking as one person of color to another.
I agree, it is so nice these kids have this level of normalcy in their lives. I think they will fare well as kids of Hollywood. Shiloh does look like a boy, but still absolutely adorable.
They seem like such a fun family.
I love that these kids are clearly allowed to express themselves and choose their own ‘look’
I just looked at these pics again and what I see is very happy, unique, well-adjusted kids. They are not that way by mistake. Someone is taking very good care of them. These pics speak louder than any words can!
soooo cute. they are going to grow up to be amazing people. they are already so cultured and look who their parents are!! i love these kids. where are the twins?
Jeeze, they are all beautiful in their own way. I do love Zaharah’s self possessed air. I love that they appear to get to pick out the clothes and accessories they like, yet still be appropriately dressed as young children.
Gotta love this. There is nothing more special than the relationship between grandparents and grandkids.

How did Shiloh lose a front tooth?
It’s a living Benetton ad!
They’re all super cute, but having a soft spot in my heart for East Asian people, I totally wanna spread Maddox and Pax on Ritz crackers and eat them!
It’s going to be interesting to watch this family grow, to see how the children’s dynamics develop as they mature. I hope that they stay as close and loving as they appear to be.
They are so cute especially Shiloh!!!
Well speaking as another person of color (i.e. a black woman), sometimes Zahara’s hair can look a little unkempt. SOME TIMES. Not all the time, not most of the time. Sometimes. It’s not Zahara’s fault and I’m not attacking her. And it’s not to say that black hair can’t look cute because I used to have little pom poms when I was a kid but my mom was sure to use that boar bristle brush on my little baby hairs in the front and smooth it down. The pom poms went wild and free though and were adorable. It’s just that sometimes people who don’t have African American hair can get a little confused with the texture and how to manage it properly.
Again, not saying she needs a perm. Not saying she needs braids. Not saying that she needs anything to muss up her natural texture which is lovely. Just saying that it would do Angelina well to get some lessons or get a black nanny to help her with the texture. There is nothing wrong with this. There is nothing wrong with a white person just not understanding how to do black hair. It comes up on Shear Genius-a show about people who do hair for a living and most of them freak out when they have to do black hair.
Anyway, the kids are super cute. I’m also glad they have “normal” people in their lives i.e. Grandpa and Grandma Pitt.
EDIT: I just thought I’d also mention that my hair is currently un-permed, un-braided, without a weave or pieces and my natural texture is what I’ve got right now and I love my natural hair.
They are just adorable! As others have said, it’s wonderful to see them growing up into their own people… Love it!
Z’s hair looks like it needs conditioning. I like it being natural.
Kids don’t have “style”…the people who dress them do.
Lilias, speaking as another person of color
WHO CARES
All of the Jolie-Pitts, including Little Miss Z, are lording over all of us with their position in this world, and trust me, the LAST thing this little girl probably needs to worry about is her hair.
She’s loved. They all are, immensely. Enough said.
I really love this family. Zahara is such a sweet little girl, just so innocent and full of life. I don’t even know why some people harp on her hair as if it’s a life saving adventure. Just being healthy and happy around your family should matter. She was dying not long ago and look at her now, thriving and in good health, yet some just see her hair.
leave the little girls hair alone. too much minding other peoples business.
People want to worry about Zahara but I doubt would give a dollar to a homeless person on the street. Your priorities are messed up.
they’re all walking too. much more cute than being carried everywhere…
Thank you Annaloo.
BTW Lilias, I read somewhere that Z’s nanny is Congolese so I’m sure she is quite familiar with black hair. Z is only five years old and the best thing they can do with her hair is let it alone. You say you love your natural hair so let Z be proud of hers.
Well I’m extremely confused. There are a handful of pictures of Brad and Angelina walking around Venice with the kids. People always went ballistic and said they were bad parents for not keeping the kids indoors and staging photo-ops. The grandparents are doing the exact same thing yet they are praised for being hands on grandparents who are giving the kids a sense of normalcy. I don’t see any difference between the photos of the parents and grandparents.
Stop, stop, makng this kid a f ucking lesbian!
@29 – yes, because all little tomboy girls with short hair are lesbians. Every time I cut my hair short for the summer I develop a raging desire for muff.
Seriously. Get over it. The kid has short hair. Maybe she’ll grow up to like girls, maybe she’ll grow up to like boys. Maybe she’ll be like her awesome mom and swing both ways. In any case, how she looks now – at 3 1/2 – will probably have no bearing on her sexual orientation.
I think Shiloh is super cute, and I have no idea why people think she looks unfeminine. I love “boyfriend” clothes! I hope she continues with this look, if she has a similar body type to her mother i can totally see her rocking it as a teenager.
Oh and before people go alleging things, I’m straight.
Beautiful family. I’m glad they still try to get them out in public despite the harrassment for our pleasure. Better to get them out then lock them inside.
Shiloh looks like a man.
@ Kay- a 3 year old looks like a man?? STFU
I love the fact that each child gets to express themselves as individuals. They’re all so darn beautiful in their own way.
O and the people griping about Z’s hair? shes a child. Children tend to have messy hair. Get over it already. Damn.
So having short hair and wearing pants makes a girl a lesbian? Thanks for enlightening me, I didn’t realize that’s how it worked. So using this logic, Chaz Bono, who was always dressed girly like Suri Cruise, is actually straight? And what if you wear pants but have long hair, like Violet Affleck, does that make you bi? Get a grip people. These are well adjusted, happy, loved children who will grow up with lots of respect for everyone else.
Oh my Lord, people. Shiloh does not look like a boy. She looks like a KID. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if a child her age is a boy or a girl unless there are cultural clues, since children that age don’t have secondary sex characteristics. Some parents and kids make styling decisions (clothing, accessories, haircuts) that provide those clues, but there’s nothing wrong with not doing so. I think Shiloh’s look is adorable and refreshing — not all little girls have to look like Suri Cruise.
Funnily enough, whenever my nephew’s hair grows out a little, my sister-in-law’s intolerant jackass relatives start bawling at her to take him and get it cut before people start thinking he’s a girl.
I guarantee you, if Shiloh was a little boy with hair that long, people would be up in arms about them feminising the kid.
In either case, the problem is not the length of the kid’s hair, but that the observer is an intolerant jackass.
From what I understand, they do have various nannies and staff from the cultures of each of their children, including people who speak the languages from the countries in which they were born. They also apparently try to learn and maintain connections to those cultures, including through study, recognizing holidays and eating food from all of the countries, and visiting from time to time, etc. I would be surprised if there weren’t staff who can help with black hair given all of this. She is only a child, you know, and children do not have perfectly groomed hair at all times, no matter how wealthy or culturally sensitive the parents are. Kids get messy and grooming 24/7 so that people looking at paparazzi photos approve of their looks just isn’t a reasonable expectation.
The child army! 🙂
alibeebee@10
I have naturally straight hair and I am not black, so I can’t talk from experience, but people need to stop thinking that girls/women only look good with straight hair! There beautiful girls with afro hair and they are just as good! Why is that that all black women need to end up wearing weaves, like Beyonce or use all sort of chemicals to be accepted by society? I agree with Solange Knowles when she had her hair cut and said she wouldn’t be a slave of her hair forever!
There are stupid adult people in here who think that long haired super feminine Portia De Rossi is actually straight.
Stop making stupid adult people sound even more stupider and ignorant when it comes to the length of the hair and the choice of the clothes ON A TODDLER to determine future sexual orientation (which is a personal choice)
This when most lezbians ACTUALLY look more like Portia De Rossi than Ellen De Generes….to begin with.
People who think short hair on a little girl= lesbian are so stupid they are almost beyond pity.
I was a complete tomboy, I loved horses and dogsand lived in jean and t-shirts. I don’t even think I OWNED a dress. I had short hair until I was 12, and not a cute stylish cut either but a stupid 70’s pudding bowl hair style* cringe* But now OMG, I like getting dressed up and I am married with children of my own. Imagine that.
People should stop making stupid statements about a child based on her clothing or hair. It makes them sound like a total fool.
Anyone who thinks these kids have picked out their own clothes are crazy…yes these kids are adorable, but everything they wear has been thought through and planned by the pr team. I remember seeing a picture of Maddox when he was three and he had a mohawk and sex pistols shirt on…nothing wrong with it, but give me a break, kids don’t know what punk is, their parents groom them from an early age, in this case these kid master manipulator mother has decided to choose an image for each child – this family is carefully crafted for the media machine – they aren’t expressing their individuality, they have stylists who choose clothes for them!
You cannot “make” a child a lesbian. If she is going to be gay, she already is. Clothes and a haircut have nothing to do with making someone gay.
@ #38 pump your brakes please. ALL black women do not end up wearing weaves or using chemicals in their hair. I see the point you tried to make but your comment is a FAIL for your gross generalization.
thank you #40…I was just about to lay into that one…there are plenty of white, latino, and asian women who wear weaves, extensions, wigs etc… This is not only a black woman thing.
Furthermore, Maravilha, you would need to understand the history of why European standards of beauty are rampant among all non European cultures, hell even a large number of white women don’t feel accepted unless their hair is bleached blonde and they pop in blue contacts, but I won’t get into it today because I don’t feel like giving a history lesson.
The kids are cute…ALL of them
this thread is an excellent revelation of the deep-rooted prejudices and fears embedded in too many people throughout this country.
that adults would be speculating on the sexuality of the f*cking 3yo is beyond pathetic.
I don’t understand the uproar over Z’s hair. A boar bristle brush is the last thing you want to take to curly hair! Finger combing with lots of conditioner should be fine for a young child.
Striaght hair is a trend right now. There isnt a law that states that everyone who doesnt have straight hair will be cited!
Later wavy or curly will be ‘in’. These things always change.
Z seems really small, especially compared to Shiloh that’s nearly two years younger. Or is it just the camera perspective? And her hair looks fine, as does Shiloh’s. They’re little kids out running around, they’re not going to look like they just came from a photo shoot.
By the way, why the gushing and fawning over these children? Yeah, they’re attractive but so are millions of other children in the world. I fail to see anything that distinguishes them above all others that warrants the over-the-top commentary beside who their parents are.
Wow, folks are getting very up in arms about people expressing different opinions. I kinda like seeing what everyone has so say!
Shiloh looks cute in her sailor outfit! I don’t care for her hair though, and not because I think it looks like a boy. It’s just that I don’t think it’s a good haircut. Maybe if it was just a little longer on the sides…still can be kept short, maybe a little less “Florence Henderson.” Maybe she likes it that way though; if so, more power to her!
They are allk just precious; warms my heart to see Grammy and Gramps with them! They look happy.
@Snaphiss
It’s not that Z is small, it’s that the JP’s bio children are Voight’s. The three of them have his ‘tall’ athletic genes while Z is tall but more like nihilotics are (Erythreans, Ethiopians, Somalis, Tutsis, northern Kenyans) with very leanly cut bone structure.
Look at the JP twins, born three days after Levi Mc Canaughley, they both look like they are already 2.
Those children will probably end up around 5’9″ at least for girls and probably around 6’3″ for Knox.
And about the gushing question, i think it’s a weird question since every celeb babies get gushed about.
You sound like they are the only babies who are gushed about when it’s not the case. Babies and little children are usually cute and celeb ones or non celeb ones they are usually gushed about by anyone who have access to them (by picture or on real) because of their inherent cuteness.
@leelee GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND so how about you start to use it … Since you clearly believe in what tabloids say about Angie and that kids do not choose anything and has no personality to do so because of age (you have children?)
Maybe you could explain why one of the outings of Brad with Z and Shi they were to two stores one in which Z chose the clothes she wanted and most well female and the other to Shi chose the clothes she wanted and all male according to what the store employees told.
Then the remaining two points Angelina is still guilty even if not present? and finally Brad is guilty of anything ever? after all he is the father took them to the stores and let them choose their clothes… STOP being BLIND and STUPID by HATE
Duh ,thats why they are on this site because of who there parents are. That applies to all celeb kids. As a matter a fact it applies to celebs in general.There are billions of people more attractive than their parents but because of their occupations people focus on them.
So just because Zahara’s nanny is Congolese, she knows about her hair. That is like saying that since someone is from Kentucky, they know all about horse racing.
they need to find someone to do z hair asap this shit is a mess….
They are all adorable children. But I was curious – has it ever been explained what happened to Shiloh’s front tooth?
Fluffy, its more like if the child was blond and the Nanny was blond, the Nanny would know why the kids hair turns greenish after the pool
Sorry Fluffy, not an apt comparison. If one has similar hair, one is going to be familiar with dealing with it. It doesn’t mean they have to know everything about what goes on in their part of the world.
Z’s smallness is likely due in part to a lack of maternal nutrition during pregnancy and a similar lack of optimal nutrition after her birth and before her adoption.
Oh, come on people I am a white woman with naturally curly long hair that looks disastrous and unkept usually 10 minutes after I leave the house due to humidity/rain, my job etc. So let’s get off Z’s case shall we she is a child.
Also while I was growing up I always wore jeans and tees it’s hard to ride horses,climb trees and and run around with my friends while wearing skirts and dresses…give these poor kids a break.
@53
I gave my opinion, it has nothing to do with you! I have many black friends who feel like that. And it is not a FAIL, it is a FAILURE you tried to say!
@54
Don’t patronise me, I stated my opinion, I didn’t ask you for a History lesson, as I am well educated, thank you.
I so didn’t mean to start a S*it storm about hair. I just said it could be combed. not permed I have natural hair no weave etc. so funny we are going back and forth about hair ha ha ha
like i care really ! about her hair just saying ha ha ha ha

Actually, yes it is, but I am not going to get into a great debate about it.

@ Maravilha, YOU stated “why do ALL black women feel the need” etc…for someone that is well educated you should structure your sentences better, do your many black friends know that you put them into this category? You made generalization about an entire group of women so own up to it.
As far as the history lesson goes, I know you didn’t ask for it, hence why it was not given…reading comprehension is not your strong point. Just stating my opinion.
Their kids is really cute..
Maybe they can replace as an actor next decade
To answer the tooth question, Shiloh knocked it out while trying to keep up with her brothers (according to Brad and Angie in some interview)- you can tell from a lot of the pictures that she really tries to do whatever they do, with mixed results, apparently!
What a bizarre thread. I’m going to bring up something else besides the kids hair or nannies: has anyone seen any of the grandparent-in-Venice pix where the grandparents are smiling? All the pix I’ve seen, whether on the balcony or around Venice, the grandparents are stony faced. When Queen Angie goes on the balcony, she smiles & Brad usually smiles for the paps also. Shouldn’t grandma & grandpa be all smiles with their cute lil’ offspring?
That cute little Zee is a stylin’ kid. Look at her layers and flats that match her purse.
Shiloh looks more like a girl in these pictures, probably because Grandma had something to do with choosing the oufit hehe.
I personally think she looks more like a boy nowadays when she is dressed in her tomboy clothes and short bowl haircut. There is nothing wrong with that if that is the way she wants to be dressed. But that doesn’t stop me from thinking she looks like a little boy.
As for the other kids, Z looks fashionable as ever. Maddox is rocking the camouflage pants as usual and Pax looks adorable.
Patronise is actually spelled patronize. Just saying….:-)
fluffy if her nanny is congolese, YES she will know how to deal with zee hair, because they have similar hair. If you are black you have to know how to deal with very curly hair.
Fluffy, if it is apt, you should be able to defend it in one or two sentences. But whatever.
As to people talking about a PR team dressing these children every day that is silly. They have been photographed shopping for their own clothes, and they dress like other children their age. It’s kind of surprising that they are so ‘normal’ in that regard, and I do have to take my hat off to their parents for that.
@78
You will find that it can be spelled either way!
@73
blah, blah, blah, blah….
@ Maravilha…. what an educated retort
The mother instinct in me wants to scream, SHILOH AND ZAHARA ARE ABOUT TO WANDER AWAY. GRAB THEIR HANDS NOW PLEASE.
Either The Scourge picked their children based on attractiveness, or their own attractiveness is leaching into their children…
@Maravilha – I checked! At first I found only my version – with a “z”…but then I checked another source and there IS INDEED a British variant of the word spelled with the “s,” as you spelled it! I always like to learn new things so thanks!
@ Lena- LOL, I was thinking the same thing. Apparently Maravilha is an expert on what ALL black women do to their hair…interesting, since I don’t recall ever disclosing my hair care regiment to her 🙂
@ Mara, my earlier response to you seems to have gotten lost in the mix. You can only speak for your friends. I assure you, I do not use weaves or chemicals in my hair- never have, have no need to. You made an unfair generalization. Own up to it and keep it moving. Your defensive responses makes it an even bigger FAIL than I initially thought lol.
Why in the world would Brad and Angelina have to explain Shiloh’s missing tooth? To me that seems ridiculous to say. I also don’t understand why people are bothered by Shiloh’s tooth but nobody cares about Violet Affleck’s missing teeth. She’s been missing teeth for a year or two. Also the boys knocked it out story was something from the tabloids/blogs. Brad and Angelina never said that. There are photographs of the grandparents smiling with the kids. Just look at past posts or look up the photographs. It’s annoying that just because people aren’t smiling in certain photographs it means they never do and are miserable.
Z is getting more beautiful everyday. They dress her like a classy little lady. lol, I think it’s adorable.
I think it’s clear that the kids dress themselves. It looks like Z is trying to emulate Angie by carrying her purse around, while Shiloh is trying to be like her brothers. It’s very cute, actually.
I think Zahara definitely tries to emulate Angelina. Remembered the pictures Brad took where she had Angelina’s high heels shoes on as well as her hat ? Or the one with that little white bag to look like mama’s big one ?
She is a feminine little girl who mimicks her mother gestures, clothing style (usually long thin pants, flat shoes and long cut coat…typical Angelin’s type).
Shiloh tries to emulate her brothers but also her father (the tie and hat and even at imes the way she is walking). However she still adds here in there traces of feminity : the pants is usually different in color and in cut from her brothers ones.
I actually never saw Angelina with some sport shoes on but Brad and the boys, so she probably took it from there too.
Has anyone notice how Z puckers her lips just like Angie? Also, there is no proof that Shiloh will/is a lesbian.
Growing up watching Cher n Sonny Bono who had the cutest adorable daughter ever, well who would have thought Chastity would become Chaz.
I am a sucker for cute kids. and these are cute kids. This is really the first time we have ever gotten so many candid shots. for the fans who enjoy looking at the kids, Venice has been the best. I think all the comments on Shiloh what she will be as an adult are just stupid. she is almost 4 years old. she seems very happy and well loved, along with her 5 brothers and sisters.. she is just the cutest; but the rest of the Brangie bunch are cute too. Nice that the Pitts are in Venice. they have traveled to so many places to see their son’s family. I remember when the Ben Button premier.. a reporter asked them about being at the premier.. and Jane responded they were there for 6 beautiful grand children. NOT 3.. but 6. Love is what builds a family.. not just the blood running through the veins.
And I have to say.. considering the craziness around them when they are out and about.. the children are very calm and well behaved. I don’t ever recall them screaming and throwing fits.. I think that has to be because of their parents and how they deal with it all. Never see Brad or Angie screaming, cursing and such. And they get hounding way more.
I just love reading these comments much more than reading the actual stories……lol. Its really amusing how you all turn on each other. *eye roll*.
I cannot see what all of the fuss is about. It is clear that the children are well dressed, loved and cared for. Being a Black person, a child’s virgin hair is very hard to tame. I lived in England/Europe for 8 years, and my children were born there. Not making excuses, but they are using that nasty water in Europe to wash Z’s hair, then that is a problem in itself, no matter how much brushing or conditioning. There is so much lime in England/European water, it can reek havoc on anyone’s hair, yet alone black hair.
It’s a shame that Jon Voight has spent his time tea-bagging with the right-wing, instead of being with the kids like Brad’s parents…SMDH! I doubt if Ang would let him go to the corner store with him. There are still bad sentiments I feel that she has for Voight abandoning them when they were young.
Anyway, I wish the children well. They seem as though they are going to grow into their own characters and not what the media wants them to be, unlike Suri Cruise. The media is posting frivolous things about this child daily from her hair, clothes, still drinking a sippy cup and all kinds of outlandish things. The child is going to grow up in predisposed to the media. I heard some where that Shiloh is a lot like AJ when she was a child, and she is letting her get her tomboy on…and AJ is no where Gay (although she was known at one point to be Bi).
Who the hell cares about these kids?
thanks for the information, I’ll be making the necessary changes thanks to your tips
parents
Helpful info discussed I am really pleased to read this particular post..many thanks with regard to providing all of us nice information.Great walk-through. I truly appreciate this article.
