Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's child, born Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, is now going by a new name.
The 19-year-old appeared at the launch of Isabel Marant's capsule collection with Net-A-Porter on Thursday, May 29, in LA.
Shiloh was listed as 'Shi Joli' in the event's press release, according to US Weekly.
The name, which excludes her father's surname altogether, is seemingly a shortened version of her new legal name.
Shi was credited at the event as a choreographer for a dance routine performed by Keoni Rose and Tako Suzuki to singer-songwriter Luella's new song Naïve.
Shortly after her 18th birthday in May of last year, Shi filed documents to drop her famous dad's surname amid her parents' ongoing legal battles.
She later announced her intention via an advert in the Los Angeles Times, per California law, and attended a hearing in August.
According to People Magazine, the teenager was reportedly granted her wish and was legally allowed to change her name to Shiloh Jolie.
Although Brad has not spoken publicly about the decision, an insider claimed that he was 'aware and upset' about the move.
'He's aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name,' a source told People Magazine. '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.'
Shi was born in 2006, nearly a year after her parents started dating.
Pitt and Jolie also share children Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
Shi isn't the only one of her siblings to drop Pitt as a surname; her sister Zahara publicly introduced herself using only her mother's last name when she joined the sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha at Spelman College.
Vivienne also appears to have done the same, with her choice revealed on the playbill for musical The Outsiders, with the credits listing her just as 'Vivienne Jolie.'
It remains unclear if any of the children besides Shi have legally changed their names.
The news of Shi's name change comes after Pitt's revealing interview for the June issue of GQ magazine, in which he promoted his new movie F1 and addressed the finalization of his divorce from Jolie.
'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing,' Pitt said when asked if he felt any relief after the court proceedings finally wrapped up.

That legal journey began in 2016, when Jolie filed for divorce after two years of marriage and more than a decade together.
What followed was a highly publicised and often acrimonious separation, encompassing custody disputes, property disagreements, and, more recently, a contentious fight over their jointly-owned French winery, Chateau Miraval.
While the divorce was officially finalised in December 2023, many of the issues between the former couple continued to play out in court, casting a long shadow over both of their careers and public images.
The legal proceedings were punctuated by allegations of abuse, which Pitt has denied.
