The mother-son duo attended the Governors Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night (local time) and posed on the red carpet for photos.
In the images, Jolie-Pitt looked very grown up in a black suit and bow tie arm-in-arm with his elegantly clad mother at his side, wearing a gold and yellow dress with her hair swept back.

“Knox looks like Brad,” one X user wrote.
”Absolutely not, looks like Angie or the brother of Angie,” another responded.
“Knox looks like his mum — people need not act like he doesn’t. He has some of his dad’s mannerisms but he is Angie’s twin. His twin sister resembles their dad more,” added a third.
Straddling the divide were comments declaring the teen was a clear combination of both parents.
“Handsome son … looks like both of them,” one said.
“All her three kids are just a super combination of her and Brad Pitt, confusing adorable cute looks,” another said.
Jolie, 49, and her former husband Pitt, 60, famously announced they were divorcing in 2016, after 12 years together.
Jolie and Pitt share six children — Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
Their split was acrimonious, with the pair allegedly involved in a physical altercation on a private flight with their children present.
No charges were ever laid over the alleged incident.
But the couple’s divorce proceedings played out in the world’s tabloids as well as in court, as they battled it out over custody of their children.
“I separated for the wellbeing of my family,” she told Vogue in 2020.
“It was the right decision. I continue to focus on their healing.”
“I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds,” she told the publication.
“In fact, they are six very brave, very strong young people.”
Jolie has served as a Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees since 2012.
