Angelina Jolie traded movie premieres for pickleball paddles over the weekend as she enjoyed a rare public outing with her son Pax in Los Angeles.
The Oscar-winning actress looked effortlessly chic as she attended the Support+Feed Pickleball Invitational and Game Night on Saturday, joining a host of celebrities for the charity event while showing off her competitive side alongside her 22-year-old son.
Dressed in an elegant black camisole-style top and matching wide-leg trousers, Angelina completed her look with oversized sunglasses and a dramatic wide-brimmed hat. While the setting may have been a sporting event rather than a red carpet, the Maria star still brought plenty of Hollywood glamour to the court.
Pax appeared equally focused on the action, taking to the pickleball court with enthusiasm as the pair spent quality time together during the star-studded fundraiser.
Angelina was seen with paddle in hand, looking ready to embrace the friendly competition while cheering on her son from the sidelines.
The event was organised by Support+Feed, the non-profit founded in 2020 by Maggie Baird, mother of Grammy-winning siblings Billie Eilish and Finneas. The organisation works to tackle food insecurity while promoting environmentally sustainable food systems.

The appearance marked another rare glimpse into Angelinaâs close bond with her children following the conclusion of her lengthy divorce proceedings with former husband Brad Pitt.
Angelina and Brad share six children together: Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 20, and 17-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
The former Hollywood power couple finalised their divorce settlement in late 2024, bringing an end to more than eight years of legal battles following their 2016 separation.

Her youngest son Knox recently showcased his athletic abilities during a Muay Thai fight in Los Angeles. The teenager impressed spectators with his confidence and skill inside the ring, drawing comparisons to some of his fatherâs most iconic on-screen roles.
The sporting appearance also followed a major family celebration as Angelina joined her children in supporting Zahara during her graduation from Spelman College.

In recent years, several of Angelina and Bradâs children have publicly chosen to use the Jolie surname professionally, reflecting the well-documented distance that has emerged between the actor and some of his children.
Despite ongoing public interest in the familyâs personal dynamics, Angelina has largely focused on spending time with her children and supporting their individual passions and achievements.
