Introduction to Shiloh’s New Name
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, made headlines recently by debuting a new name at the launch of Isabel Marant’s latest collection. At 19 years old, Shiloh has chosen to be reintroduced as ‘Shi,’ marking a significant shift in her personal branding and how she wishes to be perceived professionally.
Choreography Credit at the Launch Event
During the Los Angeles event, held on May 29, Shi used her new name to credit her choreography work for a dance performance by artists Keoni Rose and Tako Suzuki. The choreography accompanied singer-songwriter Luella’s new track, ‘Naïve,’ as reported by Variety. This choice reflects not only her artistic independence but also her journey toward self-identification.
Family Legacy and Professional Identities
Shiloh’s decision to embrace a new name follows her previous petition to officially drop her father’s surname upon turning 18 last May. She is not alone in her explorations of personal identity; her siblings, including vivacious twins Knox and Vivienne, have also made professional name adjustments recently. Their notable encounters in the spotlight highlight the family’s dynamic relationship with privacy and public life.
While their mother, Angelina Jolie, acknowledges the public nature of her family, she has emphasized that her children prefer a more private existence. ‘None of my children want to be in front of the camera at this time,’ Jolie stated. Shi, in particular, has been described by Angelina as ‘extremely’ private, indicating a clear difference in how the siblings navigate their identities and public personas.
