Vivienne Jolie-Pitt stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight on September 19, setting up a small booth at a Los Angeles street fair to sell artwork she created herself under the name The Tulip Fields. The 18-year-old offered visitors prints, stickers, and birthday cards priced around $10 to $25, including drawings of a mouse holding a pink heart, an octopus surrounded by fish, and a playful E.T. dressed as a ballerina. Dressed casually in a black T-shirt and blue overalls, Vivienne appeared focused on chatting with customers and sharing her work rather than drawing attention to her famous family. She also had some quiet support nearby: the young man seen helping with the booth and photographing her creations was eventually identified as her twin brother, Knox Jolie. The outing comes amid reports that several Jolie-Pitt siblings have changed or begun changing how they use their surnames. In August, Vivienne reportedly filed a petition to change her legal name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie, with a hearing scheduled for November 2. Her brother Maddox has already completed a similar change, while Knox and Shiloh have also reportedly used versions of the Jolie surname without Pitt.

Vivienne’s creative interests extend beyond the street-fair table. In 2024, she worked as an assistant on the Broadway production of The Outsiders, which was produced by her mother, Angelina Jolie. Angelina has previously described Vivienne as someone who takes creative work seriously and prefers supporting other artists rather than seeking attention herself. She has also spoken about the importance of allowing her children to develop lives and identities independent of their parents, saying she wants to support them without getting in their way. That philosophy seemed fitting during Vivienne’s low-key afternoon among fellow artists and shoppers. Online reactions largely focused on the simplicity of the outing, with commenters praising her creativity, upbringing, and casual style. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt was thousands of miles away in Spain attending the San Sebastian International Film Festival, where he discussed the film industry and his upcoming project Heart of the Beast. For Vivienne, however, the attention remained centered on something much smaller and more personal: a table of artwork carrying the name The Tulip Fields, offering a glimpse of an identity she is building on her own terms.
