The actress shares her six kids with ex-husband Brad Pitt , 60 — Maddox, 23 Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.

In late October, Jolie opened up about whether her kids wanted to follow their parents into the film industry while speaking with E! News at the AFI premiere of her new film Maria in Los Angeles. The mom of six said that she doesn't anticipate any of them becoming actors or wanting to be famous.

"No, I think they're especially shy, very private people," she told the outlet, adding, "They want to be private."

At the New York premiere of her film, Jolie walked the red carpet with three of her children — Pax Zahara and Maddox — while wearing a white vintage Madame Grès gown sourced from Mon Vintage in Paris paired with Cartier jewels and Aquazzura heels.

Zahara wore a white YSL dress with Tom Ford heels, while Pax rocked a gray Dior suit and Maddox sported a black YSL suit.

Earlier this fall, Jolie shared in a new interview with CR Fashion Book that she and her daughter Vivienne got matching tattoos during their special time working on the Broadway musical The Outsiders .

"I got 'Stay Gold' with my daughter Viv during our time with The Outsiders," Jolie revealed. The phrase refers to the title of one of the original songs featured in the play which Jolie co-produced with the assistance of Vivienne, as well as a line from the book written by S. E. Hinton.

"It means so much to us separately and together," she continued of the tattoo, which she debuted in April at the opening night of the Broadway play.

The tattoo sits on the actress's wrist among her other ink, though she didn't indicate the placement of Vivienne's version of "Stay Gold."
