For this appearance, Angelina Jolie opted for her familiar monochrome style with an all-black outfit, a light brown wide-brimmed hat, and black sunglasses. Pax Thien wore a white T-shirt, brown corduroy pants, white Converse shoes, and accessorized with silver jewelry and a baseball cap.
This event marks Angelina Jolie's first public appearance with Pax Thien since September 2024, when the mother and son attended a screening of the film Maria at the New York Film Festival. At that time, the actress was also accompanied by her daughter Zahara Marley Jolie and son Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt.
Earlier, on January 23rd, Pax Thien also appeared at the Sundance Film Festival to attend the screening of the film Self Custody . Although he has participated in several film projects, including a role in Angelina Jolie's Maleficent (2014) and a voice role in Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016), Pax Thien is usually private and rarely appears in the media. Therefore, the moment he and his mother attended a fundraising sporting event in Los Angeles attracted attention.
Angelina Jolie has Pax Thien and five other children with her ex-husband Brad Pitt: Maddox (24 years old), Zahara (21 years old), Shiloh (20 years old), and twins Knox and Vivienne (17 years old). The couple reached a divorce settlement in 2024, after more than eight years of tense legal battles since their separation in 2016.
