About this listen
Angelina Jolie has set the celebrity world abuzz in the past week with a series of high-profile appearances and personal milestones that dominate both news headlines and social media. On June 4th, she quietly celebrated her 50th birthday, a milestone marked not by her own posts, but by an outpouring of tributes from fans worldwide. Social networks lit up with messages like Happy 50th birthday to THEE one and only Angelina Jolie, as fans and pop culture writers praised her ageless beauty and enduring presence. The occasion coincided with a busy period for her family—her 16-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne, made a rare public appearance in Los Angeles, capturing attention for their resemblance to both Jolie and Brad Pitt. More controversially, her daughter Shiloh, now 19, unveiled a new name, Shi Joli, at a glamorous event celebrating fashion and dance, fueling widespread commentary and intrigue as reported by Parade and Variety.
Jolie continues to command attention on the international stage, recently making headlines with a dazzling return to the Cannes Film Festival red carpet after a 14-year absence. The event marked not just a stylish comeback but a significant public moment, with outlets like AOL calling it a show-stopping appearance at Cannes for the festival screening of Eddington. Social media fan pages amplified the moment, sharing red carpet images that reignited conversation around Jolie's iconic style and youthful glow—a theme picked up by media like The List, which compared recent photos of Jolie at Cannes to her wedding day portraits with Brad Pitt, marveling at her seemingly ageless looks. Meanwhile, fashion-focused accounts and magazines raved about her ability to seamlessly switch between gothic glamour and classic Hollywood elegance at events like the Gotham Awards.
Her humanitarian legacy, too, remains front and center. There are emerging concerns over the future of the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative, the program she co-founded with William Hague, following recent UK government aid cuts. The Independent detailed the uncertain future of this initiative, emphasizing Jolie’s long-running commitment to survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and her impact on international policy.
On the digital front, Jolie created a sensation by joining Instagram, amassing over 3.7 million followers within hours. Her debut post spotlighted a heartfelt letter from a teenage girl in Afghanistan, reaffirming her activist priorities: amplifying the voices of those whose freedoms are under threat. Entertainment news and fan accounts across platforms have been quick to discuss both her social media debut and her upcoming projects, including anticipation for her role in Marvel’s next phase.
Through it all, Angelina Jolie has maintained a remarkably low-key personal stance amidst the public frenzy, letting her actions—on red carpets, in the global humanitarian sphere, and now on Instagram—speak for themselves.
