Shiloh Jolie has entered a new era.
The daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, 19, appeared at the launch of Isabel Marant's capsule collection with Net-A-Porter Thursday in Los Angeles — and she dropped a new moniker for the occasion.
In a press release obtained by Page Six, Shiloh was credited as choreographer for an original dance number at the event — but she was listed as 'Shi Joli,' a moniker that pays homage to her famous mother while shortening her legal name.
The dance featured dancers Tako Suzuki and Keoni Rose and was accompanied by singer Luella's performance of Naïve.
The event, described as an 'intimate sunset dinner,' was held at Schindler's Oliver House in the Los Angeles enclave of Silver Lake.
A-listers including Milla Jovovich, Alison brie, January Jones, Rachel Bilson, and more were in attendance at the soiree.
Shiloh, who is frequently spotted heading to dance class in Los Angeles, famously requested to drop her father's last name on her 18th birthday in May 2024 — a change that was made official in August.
After a judge signed off on the ruling, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt legally became Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
She was said to have done the legwork on her own — without involving the Eternals actress.
'Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn't know and can't speak for it,' a source told Entertainment Tonight at the time.
In a July statement to Page Six, Shiloh's lawyer Peter Levine said in part that the teen made 'an independent and significant decision following painful events' in dropping 'Pitt' from her last name.
Shiloh isn't the only of her famous siblings to have dropped the name following their parents' split and bitter divorce, which was finalised in December 2024 after an eight year battle.
When Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 20, declared herself at Alpha Kappa Alpha's sorority induction ceremony at Spelman College in 2023, she shouted, 'Zahara Marley Jolie' in video of the event that circulated via social media.
Amid the famous actors' custody dispute in 2021, a source claimed to Us Weekly that their oldest child, Maddox, 'doesn't use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren't legal and instead uses Jolie. Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn't support.'
Pitt, 61, and Jolie, 49, who wed in 2014, welcomed Shiloh on May 27, 2006, and her twin siblings Knox and Vivienne on July 12, 2008.
Pitt officially adopted Jolie's adopted children Maddox, 23, and Zahara in 2005, and Pax, 21, in 2006.
The F1 actor was said to have been 'aware and upset' when Shiloh legally dropped his last name.
'He's never felt more joy than when she was born,' an insider told People in June 2024. 'He always wanted a daughter.'
'The reminders that he's lost his children is, of course, not easy for Brad,' they continued. 'He loves his children and misses them. It's very sad.'
In May, Pitt broke his silence on finalising the high-profile divorce from Angelina. When asked by GQ if he experienced 'relief,' he said, 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally,' he told the outlet.
