Knox Jolie-Pitt is seen on the red carpet for the first time in three years - On November 17, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s son Knox was seen on the red carpet for the first time since 2021. The 16-year-old was accompanying his mom to the Governor’s Awards in LA.

At the Dolby Theatre, it was clear that Knox had done a lot of growing up in the past three years. Wearing a classic suit with a bow tie and a new shaved haircut, he was photographed linking his mom’s arm, who wore a halterneck gold gown.

It may have been a while but this was by no means the first time Angelina Jolie has been seen at events with her brood of children—and she’s not the only one! Click through this gallery to see some more adorable photos of when celebrities brought their kids to the red carpet.

Celebrities who brought their kids to the red carpet -

While some celebrity parents prefer to hide their kids from the flashing lights of cameras and the inquisitive gazes of the media, others seem to have not only accepted but also embraced the reality that their entire family is going to be famous in some way, shape, or form. Perhaps that's why many stars bring their children to the red carpet, or perhaps it's because they make the absolute cutest dates!

Matt Damon brought nearly his whole family to the premiere of 'Air,' including his wife Luciana Barroso and their three daughters, Isabella, 16, Gia, 14, and Stella, 12. Barroso also has another daughter from a previous marriage, Alexia, 24, whom Damon counts as his own. The film is a biopic about the former Nike executive Sonny Vaccaro, played by Damon, and the quest to sign rising basketball superstar Michael Jordan to the shoe company in the mid-'80s.

Lola joined Momoa for an interview with E! News to discuss her experiences on set while the film was being made. "It was incredible. Me and my friends choreographed a dance routine to ‘Don't Start Now' by Dua Lipa and my dad loved the dance so he put it in the movie," she explained. Momoa confirmed that his young co-star Marlow Barkley likes to dance so he had Lola teach them all the routine which ended up in the final cut! He promised to share some behind-the-scenes footage of the impromptu dance class soon.
