True Tomboy Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Rocks the Combat Boots

By The Editors of StyleList Posted Sep 20th 2010 09:45AM

Angelina Jolie and daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt are finally having the last laugh on all those who talk trash about Shiloh's tomboy style. The towheaded trendsetter was spotted last week sporting one of fall's hottest looks: combat boots.

Wearing a gray polo shirt and shorts, a green Yo Gabba Gabba! Brobee backpack -- remember that dad Brad's a big fan -- and her chunky black boots loosely laced to reveal a hint of white sock, the on-trend tot stomped through LAX airport looking like she belonged on the runways at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

The four-year-old -- who was accompanied by mom Angelina Jolie, 35, and big sis Zahara, 5 -- has always marched to her own beat when it comes to attire.

Besides stocking her closet with neckties, polos, vests, and cargo shorts, she also made waves by wearing boys' swim trunks this summer.

"It's not my choice," Jolie, 35, said of Shiloh's wardrobe in August to Stylist Magazine.

"I have a very strong-willed four-year-old girl who tells me what she wants to wear and I let her be who she is," Jolie said. "I want her to do what's in her heart and what's in her heart is to dress like that. I think it's beautiful."

Its really sad that these people let a little girl determine what to wear. I guess if she wanted to smoke pot that would be okay also. Are we sure she's not really a boy in a girls body? Her parents are weird anyway, what with their parenting methods. I feel sorry for that little girl/boy.

If she likes it, why should'nt she wear it. Even little girls have their mind set, what they like.

Theres not one thing wrong with a 4 year old dressing like a boy.
Some people will TRY to make it sounds as if, Angelina is a unfit mother because of this. Thats ridiculous, lots of little girls dress like this. I know I did when I was young, I am as normal as the next woman.
Yes, they have th cash to dress like a princess, but a little girl has their own ways. She might be trying to fit in with her brothers, thats what I did too. Nothing wrong with that at the age of 4.
The swimming trunks might be a fight over the next couple of years though.
I wish the family all the very best. And thanks for all the help the family has given over the last few years.

Please stop. Shiloh is who she is because she was born that way. I think it is beautiful that she is being allowed to express herself and develop a strong sense of self at such a young age. Whether she is girly, tomboy or lesbian doesn't matter. What matters is that she is loved, cared for, adored and growing up confident and strong. I do the same for my tomboy 11 year old daughter. When children are made to feel that they are wrong for being themselves at such a young age, it makes a mark on their soul and developing personalities. She is beautiful regardless of what she wears.

Successful parenting - listen, respect, and pick your battles.

Brad Pitt is the biggest moran on the planet. Who could let a beautiful little girl be turned into a boy at this young age. She looks like a boy and Holie will probably have her a sex change operation by the age of 7. How could Pitt think Holie raising any child would be a good thing or him. Here are six kids that will be so messed up they will be in prison or dead by the age of 15. Trash is all this family is. I bet Pitt's parent's hate Holie more than they would ever let on. They have to hate her for destroying their grandchildren. I would take them away from the fool's and raise them like they should be raised. Not the Holie way.

Perhaps I'm nitpicking, but if you're going to call someone a moron, please spell it correctly.

I don't think it's a big deal for a four-year-old girl to dress in clothes that are typically for boys. It's not going to screw her up. I'm sure she'll grow up to be at least reasonably well-adjusted.

I notice Pop Eater never bothered to report on Angelina's visit to Pakistan to help flood victims or her turn at directing it is only "negative" stories. I personally don't see a thing wrong with letting their child express herself what's going to happen if Shiloh doesn't wear a dress is the whole world going to end?? Angie shouldn't make her suffer miserably in a dress just to impress the paps and the mommy police.

Simmer Down. She is FOUR.

By jane

I also had a strong willed four year old, but children can't wear what you don't provide for them. She can wear jeans, shorts and polos and not have to look like a boy.
There is dressing like a tom boy and dressing like.....this....

By Astrid

Dressing like this.....what? My 4-yr-old boy used to let his sister paint his toenails. I was more concerned with how he behaved than how he dressed himself. And he was determined to dress himself. I made sure he was warm and dry and didn't fight over the rest. Now that he's in school, my only other rule is that his clothes are clean!

I can't believe people are so worried about whether a girl dresses "like a girl!" She's 4. She wants to pick out her own clothes like every other little girl. I'm sure her parents make sure if she's supposed to be dressed up, she is dressed appropriately. She wears clothing that is weather appropriate and makes her happy. My niece once dressed up like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz to go to a doctor's appointment. It doesn't mean anything more than that my sister didn't want to fight over something as trivial as clothing.

By JacklynD

You do realize that she is 4 years old and in no way thinks that she is rocking the fashion world? You put the clothes in front of her she picks them for whatever reason and off she goes totally oblivious to anyone else's opinion or judgment.

I hope she gets to stay in that state of bliss a long time before she knows that people are actually judging a 4 year-old's style choices.

4 years olds are smart, they know what they want. I have a 4 year old nephew who wears costumes and would love to wear his rubber boots everyday. Suck it people and watch your own kids!!!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Shiloh's clothing choices. It does not prove she has "bad" parents, she would not be girly if she visited Brad's Mom, in short she is who she is.

When I was 4, I wanted to be John Wayne. I would walk like him and tried to talk like him. I desperately wanted a horse. I wore my Dad's Marine uniform shirt all the time and could not be bothered to worry about girly clothes.

None of those things ruined my life. I've been married for over 18 years and have fond memories of wearing a beautiful wedding gown. Leave that beautiful, normal child alone.

By Suz-E

I prefered to pick my battles with my children, and as long as they were dressed appropriately for the weather, i.e., long pants & heavy jackets in the winter, I let them choose what they wore. Some of my fondest memories are of their wardrobe "creations." I agree with letting Shiloh express tiny self through her clothing.

Shiloh has a great set of parents. They let her be who she is (and looks like they do the same for the other kids) and concentrate on teaching thtme the important stuff - - care for others, be kind, polite, enjoy life.

Oh, and, Shiloh, you look great!

By puke

who cares what that kid wears... the whole lot of them (especially bad pitt) are retarded (oh sorry the twins look a tad more retarded than mr. pitt)... fake losers I hope they move to some third world country and die!!

I don't care if y'all hate me... the truth hurts. Angelina Jolie is not fit to be a parent. She is a self-deluded, moron. The only reason she was allowed to adopt those kids is because she's (allegedly) some big movie star. Madonna had a hard time adopting because believe it or not there really is criteria for that sort of thing. Guess she's not as "pretty" as Angie. Wake up people the woman is a weirdo. There's a big difference between not forcing your little girl to dress like a princess and calling the fact that she wants to wear a boy's bathing suit "beautiful". Angie's dad said she was nuts and he should know.
