6 reasons why Vivienne and her lookalike sister are more than mirror images

The only biological children of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who are now teenagers, have lately been mistaken for one another. Vivienne was misidentified as Shiloh while out shopping in Los Angeles.

Both of them have been in Hollywood movies: Shiloh in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with Brad and Kung Fu Panda 3; Vivienne in Disney's Maleficent with Angelina.

Pitt and Jolie, who were still in a relationship at the time, traveled to Swakopmund, Namibia, where Jolie gave birth to Shiloh, their first biological child. The country's beauty served as an inspiration for Jolie to give birth there after she had previously used it as the location for the Beyond Borders filming. She has also received a great deal of appreciation for her dedication to Africa as an ambassador for the UN organization for refugees.

It's certainly hard to compare Shiloh and Vivienne's similarities without bringing up their shared ancestry.

With six kids born all around the world, the Jolie-Pitt family has always been large and diverse. Shiloh, the couple's first biological child, was born in Namibia, while Maddox, Pax, and Zahara were adopted from Cambodia, Vietnam, and Ethiopia, respectively. Biological twins Vivienne and her brother Knox were born in France. Shiloh and Vivienne are the only biological sisters of the group, as they have the same mother and, of course, the same well-known father.

They start to look more similar.

Who is that, Vivienne or Shiloh? That's a question we hear a lot these days whenever we see fresh pictures of the Jolie-Pitt sisters. Given that both sisters are biological kids of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, it seems sense that they would have similar appearances.

But how much actually unites Shiloh, her elder sister, who turns 16 this week, and 13-year-old Vivienne?

Born in a foreign country

In 2009, in the picturesque coastal city of Nice on the French Riviera, Vivienne and her twin brother Knox were famously born to much fanfare. Knox arrived first, around a minute before his twin sister. At their parent's medieval Chateau Miraval in Correns, France, they spent their formative years.

Both of their names have unique meanings.

The origins of the sisters' names are just as unique as their exotic locations of birth.

As an homage to her maternal grandmother, Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand, Vivienne's middle name is Marcheline. The meaning of Shiloh's name is also unique. Jolie stated in a Vanity Fair interview that her parents almost called their first child Shiloh Baptist until a miscarriage prevented it. since it was the most traditionally Southern name [my parents] could think of and since my father had been filming in Georgia.

"I've always loved the name. In hotels, I used to walk below it: Shiloh Baptist. When Brad contacted the motel where I was staying, I was already beneath it, she claimed.

The biological relationship

Shiloh and Vivienne are biological sisters with some of the most beautiful genes in entertainment, so it's hardly surprising that they are already beginning to resemble one another.

In fact, it's become difficult to distinguishbbb the two sisters in paparazzi images in recent years as both of them rose up in height.

In January, Jolie and Vivienne went on a mother-daughter shopping trip in Los Angeles. At first, onlookers and photographers thought Vivienne was Shiloh. It is becoming more difficult to distinguish the two sisters since they seem so similar to one another, especially while wearing torn jeans and a casual grey T-shirt.

In truth, Vivienne was misidentified as Shiloh in the images that were published by several news organizations and celebrity websites. It's not even her real twin, either!
