Angelina Jolie brought her 19-year-old daughter, Zahara Jolie, to the red carpet at the prestigious Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards on Friday. The mother-daughter duo stunned onlookers with their grace and elegance as they walked side by side, sharing laughs and jokes in front of the cameras.
Angelina was dressed in a sophisticated black halter gown featuring a knotted neckline, while debuting a fresh new look with warm blonde hair styled with bangs. Zahara, radiant in a white gown with a sleeveless bodice and lace overskirt, styled her hair in a sleek long ponytail. Their close bond was evident as they held hands and enjoyed the spotlight together.
The evening marked a special moment for Angelina, who was awarded the Desert Palm Achievement Award for her portrayal of opera singer Maria Callas in the Netflix film Maria. The accolade was a testament to her enduring career, as she continues to take on powerful and transformative roles in the industry.
Reflecting on her daughter, Angelina has shared the deep admiration and respect she has for Zahara’s heritage and unique perspective. In a 2017 interview, Angelina spoke about Zahara’s infectious laugh and her powerful connection to her Ethiopian roots, calling her an extraordinary African woman. “She is my family, but she is an extraordinary African woman and her connection to her country, her continent, is her own,” Jolie expressed.
Zahara’s presence alongside her mother highlights their tight-knit relationship, a bond built on mutual respect and admiration. With five other children—Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox—Angelina’s life is filled with love, family, and international commitment. Her focus now seems to be shifting from Hollywood to deeper personal and humanitarian endeavors, as she transitions to a new chapter.
