Knox Jolie is bringing a playful sense of style to his post-workout wardrobe. Angelina Jolie’s 18-year-old son was photographed returning home after his Friday Muay Thai class in Los Angeles on August 21. 

Although his outfit appeared designed for comfort, Knox incorporated several unexpected details, including a pair of whimsical pink Crocs that played off his vivid rose-red hair.

The recent high school graduate wore an oversized beige graphic T-shirt with blue-and-white striped shorts, creating an effortless, pajama-inspired combination. He completed the outfit with tall gray socks and pink floral Crocs featuring contrasting green and checkered straps.

The unconventional footwear became the standout element of the look, coordinating with the warmer tones in his hair while giving the casual ensemble an unmistakably youthful finish. Knox carried his phone, keys, and pieces of his training gear as he made his way home.

A colorful new era:

Knox’s latest outing comes shortly after he debuted his dramatic red hairstyle in Los Angeles. The teenager currently wears the sides of his hair closely cropped and blond, leaving the longer, textured section on top in a rich crimson shade.

He has experimented with several bold colors over the past year. In November 2025, Knox stepped out with pastel pink hair, which drew comparisons to the colorful hairstyles his mother wore during the late 1990s. He has since been seen with platinum blond, orange and red variations of the cropped style.

His ever-changing hair has become an expressive part of his otherwise understated wardrobe. Even when dressed in simple athletic pieces, Knox frequently introduces an individualistic detail through color, proportion or accessories.

Knox has kept a relatively low public profile compared with his famous parents, but he has made increasingly frequent appearances while attending Muay Thai classes and events around Los Angeles. He participated in an exhibition fight earlier this year after previously earning recognition in the sport.

The teenager recently celebrated another milestone when he graduated from high school in June. His mother was present for the ceremony, during which he was listed as Knox Jolie on his diploma.

While his plans following graduation have not been made public, his recent outings suggest he remains committed to his martial arts training. And if his latest look is any indication, he is bringing plenty of personality to the journey.

A celebrity-approved favorite:

Knox is far from the only famous face embracing the divisive footwear. Justin Bieber has long been one of Crocs’ most recognizable celebrity fans and previously collaborated with the brand on two limited-edition collections through his Drew House label.

Rihanna has also incorporated embellished Simone Rocha x Crocs clogs into her off-duty wardrobe, while stars including Margot Robbie and Pamela Anderson have reached for versions of the comfort-first shoe.

Once dismissed as purely practical footwear, Crocs have become an unlikely celebrity street-style staple, appearing in designer collaborations and increasingly playful silhouettes.
