Angelina Jolie showcased her understated style as she arrived at JFK airport in New York Friday with her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne ahead of the Tony Awards. The actress, 49 — who has been battling in court with her ex and children's father Brad Pitt, 60, over their Chateau Miraval winery — looked fashionable in a black jacket over a white blouse with a matching long black skirt. The Eternals star wore black boots as she loaded her luggage into the trunk of a black chauffeured SUV.Angelina kept her accessories simple, donning dark sunglasses and a thin belt, along with some small gold earrings. The Oscar winner's long, dark hair was styled straight and she wore natural looking makeup with a soft peach lip.Vivienne, who is one of Angelina's six children with Brad Pitt, kept close to her A-list mom as they prepared to head from the airport to the hotel. The teen seemed to follow her mother's low key example, wearing a beige T-shirt with high waist white jeans and sneakers. The mother-daughter duo have a big weekend ahead of them as The Outsiders, the musical they produced based on the popular SE Hinton novel, are up for several awards at Sunday's Tonys. The musical focuses on a group of 1960s teens in Tulsa, OK who fight for survival and a sense of purpose. The show received 12 Tony nominations, including Best New Musical. Vivienne joined the production as a volunteer assistant and her mother later joined the project as a producer. 'There are those artists that think about themselves and there are those artist that are just rooting for everybody else, [Vivienne's] that one,' the proud mama told AP. 'She's the one that just roots for everybody and so it's nice.' And while speaking to Deadline earlier this month, Jolie recalled how both she and Vivienne became involved in the Broadway production. 'My daughter Viv loves theater.' 'She appreciates all theater but she certainly knows what she feels close to and what she responds to. She went to see The Outsiders at La Jolla about five times and was telling me about it, and I had read the book, and I'd seen the film years ago.' Angelina then saw the project with her daughter and noted that effect that it had on Vivienne, adding, '...I was learning what about it was important to her and why it connected so deeply to her.' The mother daughter duo were soon contacted by producers and were asked to share their thoughts on the production. 'So Viv and I sat together and we wrote down what we liked, what we were curious about.' 'And they responded to our notes. For me, it was a moment to learn more about Viv, not me thinking of becoming a producer.' The actress added, 'I think at some point, it just felt the team seemed to feel that we were adding to it, so I really wanted to just be a support and listen and share my thoughts where useful.' 'Most of the time, I was simply just listening. I have so much respect for Danya and her work,' she said, referencing to director Danya Taymor. 'And as a director I learned so much watching her, how she makes sure the artists who were doing such special work were heard and supported.' Jolie revealed that her daughter was 'there the whole time' and Taymor also applauded the teen for 'giving me the most amazing notes.' Jolie will be a presenter at Sunday's ceremony along with Wicked's Cynthia Erivo and The Who's Pete Townshend. The Tonys are scheduled to air live on CBS and Paramount+ at 8pm Eastern Time on Sunday.

The 49-year-old Oscar-winning actress shares the teen with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, who has not been photographed in public with Vivienne in many years, though they may be meeting in private. It has been a difficult time for Brad and the six kids he raised with Jolie, as eldest daughter Shiloh, 18, recently dropped his last name. Before she was Shiloh Jolie-Pitt now she is just Shiloh Jolie.But Angelina stills seems very close with all the kids following her split from Pitt almost eight years ago - in addition to Vivienne and Shiloh, she also has Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and Vivienne's twin brother Knox. This week Jolie told Deadline that she is closer than ever with Vivienne. She added she learned a lot about her youngest daughter through producing a Broadway show together. The Maleficent star was introduced to The Outsiders by 15-year-old Vivienne after the teenager saw its run in California last year, and she agreed to get involved with the New York production as a result of the youngster's passion. She told Deadline: 'My daughter Viv loves theatre. 'She appreciates all theater but she certainly knows what she feels close to and what she responds to. 'She went to see The Outsiders at La Jolla [in San Diego] about five times and was telling me about it, and I had read the book, and I'd seen the film years ago.' At the urging of her daughter, Angelina revisited the material. And she began 'really watching the effect it was having on my young daughter and what she was telling me about herself. 'And I was learning what about it was important to her and why it connected so deeply to her.' The Gia star then joined the production as producer, with her daughter as her assistant. And Angelina realized doing so was 'a moment to learn more about Viv.' She explained: 'It was a very different experience of understanding, of how this is having a significant effect on her as a young person right now, and she's communicating something to me. 'And that is the power of this material.'Jolie added: 'And then I had the privilege of watching everyone work over this last year to make it into what it is, and Vivienne has been there the whole way.' The Tomb Raider star previously admitted her youngest daughter reminds her of her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, because she doesn't want to be the 'centre of attention' though she works very hard. She told E! News: 'Viv reminds me of my mother, in that she isn't focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives. 'She's very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.'

Angelina Jolie wants a 'quiet' 49th birthday party at home with her kids - after ex Brad Pitt was 'upset' by them dropping his name amid deepening rift

Angelina Jolie is reportedly looking to have a relaxed birthday celebration at home amid escalating tensions between her six children and her ex-husband Brad Pitt.The actress, who turned 49 on Tuesday, plans to have a 'quiet' birthday with the kids, a source close to her told People.'Angelina will celebrate her birthday with a quiet day at home with her kids. Zahara is home from college, and she looks forward to everyone spending the day together,' they said.The actress-turned-activist shares Maddox, 22; Pax, 20; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15, with her ex-husband Pitt, 60, whom she has been engaged with in a brutal divorce battle for years.The plans for a low-key birthday party were revealed after Shiloh became the latest of the children to drop 'Pitt' from her last name as soon as she turned 18.On Monday, the Babylon actor was set to be 'upset and aware' that Shiloh had filed to change her name.A source close to Oscar winner said his erasure from his daughter's life is just another indication that he has 'lost his children,' according to People.'He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name,' the source claimed. 'He’s never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter.'Notably, Pitt was already in the process of legally adopting a daughter who had been a part of his life for months before he and his then-partner Jolie had announced she was pregnant with Shiloh in January 2006.Jolie had traveled to Ethiopia to adopted her first daughter, Zahara, in July 2005, and Pitt had come with her on the trip.He was reported to be in the process of becoming Zahara's adopted father in December 2005, a month before he and Jolie announced her pregnancy. 'The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad,' the source continued. 'He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad.'They added that the distance between Pitt and his six children 'pains him.'
However, they noted that 'he’s still happy with Ines [de Ramon],' his girlfriend.Another source described as close to Pitt told the publication that the Tree Of Life star 'still loves all of his kids tremendously.''This whole process has been very hard for the whole family,' they added. If Shiloh's request is granted — and there is no indication that it would not be — she will subsequently go simply by 'Shiloh Jolie,' rather than her original full name, 'Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.'People previously reported that Pitt's youngest daughter Vivienne — who served as her mother Angelina Jolie's assistant when she produced the Broadways musical adaptation of The Outsiders — had listed her name as 'Vivienne Jolie' in the Playbill for the show.It is unclear if Vivienne has legally changed her name, but the minor would likely need either parental consent or extenuating circumstances to be allowed to do so before turning 18.Zahara previously introduced herself as 'Zahara Marley Jolie' when she joined the Mu Pi chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College late last year.Pitt and Jolie's oldest sons, Maddox and Pax, have reportedly not publicly used their father's last name in years, and both have been openly antagonistic toward him.Pitt and Jolie began dating publicly shortly after he and his then-wife Jennifer Aniston announced their divorce in 2005. The Mr. And Mrs. Smith costars remained unmarried for years despite having multiple adopted and biological children together, but they got engaged in 2012 and finally tied the knot in 2014.However, it was only around two years later when the Maleficent actress filed for divorce in 2016. She and Pitt were declared legally single in 2019.However, the two A-listers have been embroiled in an ongoing divorce battle over assets and custody for years since. A central issue seems to be a notorious private jet confrontation in 2016.An FBI report on the incident, which was published in 2022, saw Jolie accuse Pitt of physical assault while flying to California in 2016. She claimed that he was intoxicated and that he grabbed her by the head and shook her, and later pushed her down, as part of a confrontation allegedly related to their children.Jolie told the FBI that Pitt told the children that she was 'f***ing up this family,' and she said he punched the ceiling of the airplane four times. She claimed that at one point he poured beer on her and a blanket she was under with multiple children. Source close to Pitt later claimed that he never hit any of the children, though they admitted that he had been drinking.
