Angelina Jolie turned the 2025 Golden Globes into a mother-daughter date night.
The actress, 49, was accompanied by her eldest daughter, Zahara, 19, at the Sunday, January 5, ceremony at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. “Z is here,” Jolie told Variety on the red carpet, noting that Zahara gave her metallic gown her stamp of approval. “She’s hiding over there ‘cause you’re live,” she joked about her daughter not joining her on camera.
Zahara complemented her mother’s sparkling look in a white dress featuring silver metallic embroidered detail. While Jolie wore her hair half-up, Zahara pulled hers back in a chic updo.
Two days before their Golden Globes outing, Zahara joined her mother at the 36th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards in Palm Springs, California. The two sported opposite colors at the event, with Jolie contrasting her daughter’s white gown in a black silk dress.

Zahara is one of six kids Jolie shares with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, including Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
At this year’s Golden Globes, Jolie is nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for her role as opera singer Maria Callas in the biographical drama Maria. The Last Showgirl’s Pamela Anderson, Babygirl’s Nicole Kidman, The Room Next Door’s Tilda Swinton, I’m Still Here’s Fernanda Torres and Lee’s Kate Winslet are also up for the award.
Prior to the 2025 awards show, Jolie won three consecutive Golden Globes between 1998 and 2000 for her performances in George Wallace, Gia and Girl, Interrupted. She has received a total of nine nominations throughout her career.
Jolie’s family outing at the Golden Globes comes just days after news broke that she finalized her divorce from Pitt, 61. The exes split in September 2016 and were declared legally single in 2019 but did not sign off on a divorce settlement until Monday, December 30.
“More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family,” Jolie’s lawyer James Simon told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.”

A rep for Pitt declined to confirm or comment on the news.
As for the pair’s children, they have supported their mother throughout the lengthy legal battle.
“The kids have grown up seeing that some people have so much power and privilege that their voices don’t matter. Their pain doesn’t count,” a source close to the matter told Us in December 2024. “They have wanted [Angelina] to speak up for herself, to defend herself over these years but she reminds them to focus on changing laws over telling public stories.”
Despite the headline-making ordeal, the insider said that Jolie “doesn’t speak ill” of Pitt publicly or privately to their children, adding that she has been “trying hard to be light after a dark time.”
