Angelina Jolie’s 17-Year-Old Daughter Vivienne Pulled Up to Michaels in a Seriously Beat-Up Toyota Sedan to Buy Art Supplies

By

Vivienne Jolie is one of the most camera-shy of the six Jolie children, so a solo errand run in Studio City counts as a rare sighting. On June 18, 2026, the 17-year-old dropped off mail and stopped at Michaels for art and craft materials, then loaded them into her own modest sedan.

The outing landed days after her mother opened up in a Variety interview tied to the film Couture. Angelina Jolie, 51, said her “fighting spirit is finally back” after a rough stretch and credited her kids, most of them nearly 18, for pulling her out of it.

Jolie also explained why she returned to acting after stepping back to focus on directing: short shoots close to home let her stay near her children. Vivienne and several of her siblings have continued to drop “Pitt” from their names through the long fallout with Brad Pitt, whose divorce from Jolie dragged on for roughly 8 years.
