Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh debuts new name following major move in distancing herself from father
The teenage daughter of Angelia Jolie and Brad Pitt has debuted a new name in an apparent attempt to distance herself from her father.
Shiloh Jolie made a rare appearance at a Los Angeles event at the iconic Oliver House last week, where the 19-year-old choreographed a dance piece.
The private dinner, which invited some of Hollywood's VIPS such as fashion stars, actors and models to celebrate Isabel Marant’s new capsule collection with Net-A-Porter, saw the teen deliver a standout show.
Shiloh, who was there as a guest and for talent, choreographed a dance routine under her new name, with dancers Keoni Rose and Tako Suzuki delivering the show-stopping performance for singer-songwriter Luella’s live performance of her new single 'Naïve'.

'Brangelina,' who split in 2016 and had a messy divorce battle up until 2024, welcomed Shiloh Nouvel Jolie Pitt on May 27, 2006.
The Mr & Mrs Smith stars, who met on the set of the 2004 movie, share six children together including their three biological children, Shiloh and twins, Knox and Vivienne.
Shiloh is the former couple's first biological child, having joined the family with adopted siblings Maddox and and Zahara before they went on to adopt Pax and birth the twins.
However, the youngster has revealed she is now going by the name Shi in what appears an apparent snub to her father, though it is unclear if this will be her stage name.
After turning 18, the star filed to drop her dad's last name from her own after becoming somewhat estranged from Pitt, filing for the name change on her 18th birthday TMZ reported at the time.
The pair haven't been seen out in public together since 2014, reports Hello Magazine.
Pitt and Jolie's lengthy divorce battle was far from amicable, with Jolie alleging domestic abuse against her ex husband in recent years.
The accusations - which Pitt has always denied - are believed to have cause him to become estranged from their children.
According to reports, the 61-year-old actor was 'aware' of Shiloh's submission, as a source told PEOPLE: "He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name. He’s never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter.
"The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad."
Another source also told the publication that the Bullet Train star 'still loves all of his kids tremendously', adding: "This whole process has been very hard for the whole family."
However, Shiloh's attorney slammed any suggestion that the teen made the name change as a public statement.
Peter Levine said, as per PEOPLE: "Shiloh Jolie did not take out an ‘ad’ announcing any name change, and any press reporting that is inaccurate.
"As Shiloh’s attorney, I am required to publish a legal notice because the law in California requires that of anyone who wants to change their name. That legal notice was published in the Los Angeles Times, as is required."
The news comes as Pitt and Jolie's daughter Vivienne also seemed to drop Pitt from her name.
The 16-year-old had helped her mom produce the new musical, The Outsiders and, as per PEOPLE, the former couple's daughter was listed as Vivienne Jolie in the Playbill.
The Hollywood stars' eldest daughter Zahara also introduced herself as 'Zahara Marley Jolie' in a video shared by Essence in November 2023.
UNILAD has previously contacted Pitt and Jolie's representatives for comment.
