Angelina Jolie’s son Knox Jolie went cherry bomb, debuting a vibrant dark red hair color on August 10.
The 18-year-old was photographed by Backgrid USA leaving a Muay Thai class in Los Angeles with a punk-inspired cut featuring closely cropped sides and longer, choppy strands on top.
Knox's new crimson shade came just weeks after he was seen with bleached blond hair on August 5.
Knox Jolie showed off a dark cherry bomb red hair transformation this week after he was seen with bleached blond hair.
Knox has continued to experiment with his look throughout the year. He started 2026 with platinum strands before switching to fiery orange in the spring.
His latest transformation followed another colorful change from last year's November, when he stepped out with cotton candy pink spikes during a grocery run in Los Feliz.
The pastel style drew comparisons to his mother’s hot pink bob from the 1998 film Playing by Heart.
Angelina Jolie Also Embraced Bold Hairstyles
Angelina Jolie’s past hairstyles included dramatic cuts and colors that reflected her evolving style.
Knox’s willingness to change up his hair echoed Angelina’s own history of experimenting with dramatic styles.
The actress embraced a range of looks throughout the late 1990s, including a shaved head, a spiky bleached pixie, and the choppy platinum bob she wore in Girl, Interrupted.
She continued switching things up as her career progressed. Angelina arrived at the 2000 Golden Globes with a bluish-gray cropped style before wearing waist-length jet-black hair when she collected her Oscar that March.

Knox Celebrated His 18th Birthday This Summer
Knox Jolie celebrated his graduation with Angelina Jolie, Pax, Zahara and Vivienne before continuing the festivities in Los Angeles.
Knox turned 18 on July 12. He was the second youngest of Angelina and Brad Pitt’s six children, arriving minutes before his twin sister, Vivienne.
Angelina and Brad, who co-starred in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, split in 2016 and finalized their divorce in December 2024 after more than eight years of legal proceedings.
Knox’s name also became part of the family’s ongoing separation from Pitt’s surname.
Page Six reported in June that his Fusion Academy diploma listed him as "Knox Jolie."
The outlet also reported that Knox celebrated his graduation with Angelina, older siblings Pax and Zahara, and Vivienne before spending the night at a Downtown Los Angeles club.
A source close to Angelina told Page Six last month, "Angie hasn’t been fighting and isn’t angry. She just wants everyone to heal."
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Family Rift Remained Complicated
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s six children remained at the center of the former couple’s ongoing family rift.
Page Six also reported differing accounts from sources close to Angelina and Brad about the family’s estrangement.
One source claimed Angelina "seems quite pleased with herself about the total success of her long-standing, intense, deliberate effort to alienate her children from their father."
The insider added, "It’s so sad for the entire family that she would use the same weapon of the name change over and over for any other purpose other than to hurt their father."
