Throughout Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s life growing up in the spotlight, her sense of style has been a significant focus for some in the media. Tabloids have consistently speculated about Shiloh’s gender identity since she was a tiny child. They focused on the fact that Sholih once wanted to go by a different name—John and that she preferred to dress in a non-traditional “girl” style.
“Oh, boy! Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s newly cropped short haircut and tomboyish wardrobe have style mavens, celeb watchers, and bloggers puzzling over why Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s 3-year-old girl apparently doesn’t want to look like a girly-girl,” the Daily News wrote in 2010. One celebrity blogger asked, “Does Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter secretly want to be a boy?” They claimed that others had wrongly identified her as her brother Knox, who was 19 months old while she was nearly four.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Angelina Jolie championed her daughter’s unique way of dressing and the tabloid’s eagerness to label her “I don’t think it’s for the world to interpret anything. She likes to dress like a boy and wants her hair cut like a boy, and she wanted to be called John for a while,” she said. “Some kids wear capes and want to be Superman, and she wants to be like her brothers. It’s who she is.” And, as Shiloh has proven yet again, she continues to blaze her fashion trail in life, despite her detractors.
