Move over North West—another celebrity kid just debuted a dramatic hair transformation.
Knox Jolie-Pitt stepped out with a bold new look this Memorial Day weekend, showing off a fiery orange hair color with bright yellow-toned layers while leaving a Muay Thai class in Los Angeles.
The 17-year-old kept things casual for the outing, wearing a gray T-shirt paired with tiger-print shorts, sneakers, and long gray socks as he checked his phone on the way out. But it was his eye-catching hairstyle that immediately grabbed fans’ attention online. See the photos here!

Knox Jolie-Pitt Debuts Bright Orange Hair
Social media users quickly flooded comment sections with mixed reactions to Knox’s edgy new color. While some criticized the bold dye job, others defended the teenager for experimenting with his style and having fun with his appearance.
“He’s just a kid. He’s still a teenager. Let him try new things. It’s only temporary. He has to find himself. Love that for them,” one person commented.
Others pointed out that colorful hair is common in combat sports and martial arts culture. “Hair dye is very common for men in martial arts. Just look at big names like Charles Oliveira, Sean O'Malley, Deiveson Figueiredo and so many others. It’s a way of expression and to distinguish themselves from others,” another user wrote.
Some fans also noted how much Knox resembles his famous parents. “The Jolie-Pitt genes really said copy + paste,” one commenter joked, while another added, “He’s a young kid. Cut him some slack. Give him about 3-4 years and he’s gonna start growing into his looks.”
Others simply loved the dramatic transformation, with one fan writing, “Knox out here training Muay Thai and pulling off main character energy with the orange hair. Teen rebellion done right.”
Brad Pitt's Twins Distant From Him Following Long Divorce Battle With Angelina Jolie
Born on July 12, 2008, in Nice, France, Knox is the son of the Mr. & Mrs. Smith leading actors and the twin brother of Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. The twins are the youngest of the Jolie-Pitt children, joining siblings Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh.
Unlike some of his siblings, Knox has largely stayed out of the public eye over the years, though he has occasionally appeared on red carpets with his mom and siblings. He also voiced a small role in Kung Fu Panda 3.
Reports in recent years have suggested that the Troy actor's relationship with several of his children remains strained. According to a Daily Mail source in July 2025, the 62-year-old reportedly believed the chances of rebuilding a close relationship with the twins were “remote.” The insider added that Pitt was especially hurt after Vivienne appeared to drop “Pitt” from her last name in a 2024 Playbill.
Although Knox and his twin sister have not appeared to be as publicly estranged from their father as some of their older siblings, reports suggest they have still grown more distant from Brad in recent years. Sources have claimed the actor was “desperate” to repair his relationships with his children and hoped to reconnect with the twins over time.
