Inside Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt's legacy: From striking resemblance to Hollywood lights

The birth tales of sisters Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt are as captivating as their parents' love story. While Vivienne, alongside her twin Knox, first saw the world's lights on the stunning French Riviera in 2009, Shiloh's birth in 2006 was cradled by the breathtaking landscapes of Swakopmund, Namibia. Angelina's connection to Namibia, stemming from her film Beyond Borders and her commendable humanitarian work, made the African nation the chosen place for Shiloh's arrival.

From uncanny resemblance to Hollywood screens

The air has been always abuzz with whispers – is it Shiloh or Vivienne? Such is the striking resemblance between the two, often leading to mistaken identities in public outings. Vivienne's LA shopping spree with Angelina, for instance, had many mistaking her for her older sister.

It's not just their striking looks but also their nascent steps in Hollywood that bind them. Vivienne charmed audiences with her endearing appearance in Maleficent, while Shiloh showcased her talent in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and later, voiced a character in Kung Fu Panda 3.

The name game

Names always carry stories. Vivienne's middle name, Marcheline, pays homage to Angelina's late mother. On the other hand, the name Shiloh carries a southern charm, having roots in Brad's shooting experience in Georgia. As Angelina once confided, "It was a name my parents almost named their first child... I used to go under it in hotels: Shiloh Baptist."

The Jolie-Pitt bond

Beyond the stardom and limelight lies a family bound by strong ties. The diverse and global family of the Jolie-Pitts, with children from Cambodia, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Namibia, and France, has always made headlines. Yet, it's the bond among the three sisters - Zahara, Shiloh, and Vivienne - that often captures the heart, evident in their regular joint appearances on the red carpet.
