Angelina Jolie’s rarely seen son Knox looks like a young Brad Pitt as he towers over her at the 2024 Governors Awards

Angelina Jolie looked every inch the proud mom as she beamed alongside her son, Knox Jolie-Pitt, at the Governors Awards on Sunday.

The Oscar-winning actress, 48, and her handsome 16-year-old son – who she shares with ex Brad Pitt – took over the red carpet at the Ray Dolby Ballroom and effortlessly attracted attention with their striking style.

Jolie dazzled in a glittering gold-and-silver sleeveless gown that oozed Hollywood glamour, while oversized diamond earrings and a matching necklace added the perfect touch of sparkle.

Her newly lightened locks were swept into a smart bun and she shared a light laugh with Knox, who looked dapper in a tuxedo.

As the duo posed for photos, Knox, who towered over her mother with a striking resemblance to her matinee idol father, made a memorable grand entrance.

Notably absent were his siblings – Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and twins Vivienne and Knox – making for a rare mother-son moment at the star-studded event.

The couple mingled with a who’s who of Hollywood, including Pamela Anderson, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman and Elizabeth Olsen, among many others.

The event, organized by the board of the film academy, is an honor the late Quincy Jones, James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, filmmaker Richard Curtis and casting director Juliet Taylor.

Angelina’s outing comes as the actress continues to promote her latest film Maria, a biopic of opera legend Maria Callas, which is already generating Oscar buzz.

Maria, which portrays Callas during her final decline in Paris in the 1970s, was helmed by Jackie director Pablo Larrain.

Fans have called for the actress to get an Oscar with one writing: ‘Holy s**t I fan** King can’t wait to see this movie!!! Seriously, I know I will be blown away by Angelina Jolie’s performance as Maria. The Oscar will come after her.’

Another implored the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science to just ‘give Angelina the Oscar already for her performance as Maria Callas’.

A third, who admitted they hadn’t even seen the trailer, joked that they were already planning to “run the Angelina Jolie Oscar campaign.”

The ‘Maria trailer is so beautiful. I’ve seen enough, give Angelina Jolie the Oscar already,” tweeted a fourth.

Maria, according to a synopsis, ‘follows the American-Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye.’

The film aims to ‘reimagine the legendary soprano in her final days as the diva figures out her identity and life.’

She died in Paris in 1977 of a heart attack at the age of 53.

The highly-anticipated film will hit theaters in November and then stream on Netflix in December.

Netflix is ​​set to release the film in US theaters on November 27, before premiering on the streaming platform on December 11.

The mother of six previously won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Lisa Rowe, a diagnosed sociopath, in the 1999 psychological thriller Girl, Interrupted.

In 2008, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Christine Collins in the mystery crime drama Changeling.

However, she lost to French actress Marion Cotillard, who won for her lead role in La Vie en Rose.

Throughout her career, Jolie has taken home a number of awards, including three Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and a Tony Award.

Jolie is halfway to EGOT status after winning her first Tony over the summer.

The EGOT is one of the most prestigious clubs in all of America’s showbiz, and there are dozens of stars who are just one award away from achieving the prestigious title.

The acronym stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards and is the designation for individuals who have won all four major American achievement awards.

Jolie just needs to earn an Emmy and Grammy to accomplish the feat, which has only been earned by 21 people.
