Red carpet premieres in Los Angeles and Rome for Marvel’s Eternals have seen Brangelina’s oldest biological child step out in a glitzy new style – and the internet is all over it

Once renowned for suits, hoodies and sneakers, at 15, Shiloh has entered a fresh fashion chapter defined by glamorous dresses and classic Hollywood style

It’s finally Eternals red carpet season, and for a change it’s not Angelina Jolie causing a stir at film premieres. Instead, daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has been the one making headlines by ditching her trademark red carpet suits and showing up in dresses instead.

It all started on October 18 at the movie’s Los Angeles premiere, when Shiloh, 15, walked the red carpet in a glamorous neutral-coloured dress matching that of her A-list mother – a far cry from the boyish suits she’s worn over the years.

Then, on October 24, Shiloh popped up at the Italian premiere of Eternals in Rome, where she walked the red carpet alongside her mum and sister-slash-bestie, Zahara.

For the occasion, Shiloh opted for yet another teenage glam look, pairing a black knee-length frock with yellow animal print high-tops.

So why is there so much fuss about a celebrity teenager’s evolving wardrobe? It almost certainly has something to do with the fact that a big chunk of the internet believes Shiloh identifies as male following playful comments her parents made during interviews when she was very young.

In a 2008 interview with Oprah Winfrey, dad Brad Pitt opened up about raising Shiloh: “She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. It’s a Peter Pan thing. And then I’ll say, ‘John, would you like some orange juice?’ And she goes, ‘No!’”
