Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s 2020 wrapped: everything we learned about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s firstborn – LGBTQ+ idol, fashion icon and inspiration to millions
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s firstborn had secret surgery, home-quarantined during Covid-19 and inspired millions to be their authentic selves – plus four more celebrity kids breaking gender boundaries, like NBA star Dwyane Wade’s Zaya
In a year when celebrities were as locked down as we were, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt continued to make headlines and be an LGBTQ+ idol to millions around the world.
Instead of simply being famous as the first biological child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Namibia-born Shiloh gained global attention for breaking the mould.

Angelina told Vanity Fair in a 2010 interview that Shiloh has been exploring gender since age three. “She wants to be a boy,” Jolie said. “So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boy clothes. She thinks she’s one of her brothers.”
Since then, Shiloh has continued to defy expectations. Here’s how the iconic teenager made STYLE headlines in 2020.
