Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Sells Art at LA Street Fair as Name Change Advances Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 18, sold original artwork at a Los Angeles street fair as she moves forward with a petition to legally drop her father Brad Pitt's surname. Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, the 18-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, was pictured selling her original artwork at a local street fair in Los Angeles on Saturday. The event marked a step in her growing career as an artist and came one month after she moved ahead with a petition to legally drop her father's surname. She was supported by her twin brother Knox, who helped set up her booth and was seen taking pictures of his sister. Art Booth Draws Shoppers in Los AngelesOperating under the name The Tulip Fields, Vivienne displayed a number of pieces, with prices in one section ranging from $10 to $25. Her offerings included prints, stickers and birthday cards featuring her own drawings and paintings. One card featured a grey mouse with a large pink heart and a pink bow. Another painting showed an octopus surrounded by fish.A whimsical card featured what appeared to be E.T. in a pink tutu and ballerina slippers. Vivienne also had a selection of birthday cards on display. She stayed busy throughout the event and spoke to numerous clients before successfully selling many of her pieces.Vivienne kept it casual for the occasion, wearing a black t-shirt with a pair of blue overalls. Her brother showcased his signature colorful hair and wore a pair of floral embroidered jeans. Knox was also seen grabbing a quick bite during the event.Name Change Petition Moves ForwardThe art show comes one month after Vivienne moved ahead with her petition to legally drop her father's surname. She took out a newspaper ad in The Los Angeles Daily Journal. She filed to change her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie, per the newspaper notice obtained by The Daily Mail. The ad is a standard step before the court will approve a name change.Vivienne published notice of her petition once a week for four consecutive weeks from July 24 to August 14. Anyone opposing the name change is asked to submit a written opposition before the final hearing on November 2. A judge can then approve the request if there is no objection. In July, Jolie's reaction to Vivienne filing to drop her name was revealed. Vivienne followed in the footsteps of her three older siblings and filed a petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The reason behind the teenager's name change was listed as personal, according to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail.A source close to Jolie, 51, told People that she is looking for everyone to heal. The insider said that if people knew the whole truth, they would have more sympathy for the children and respect them, adding that the fact they are not speaking ill or sharing things publicly only shows their decency. The source also said that Jolie has not been fighting and is not angry, and that she just wants everyone to heal. The petition is only the latest move in Vivienne's ongoing effort to distance herself from the Pitt name.Family Dynamics and Public AppearancesMeanwhile, their father was spotted thousands of miles away at the 74th San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain on Monday. The Fight Club star looked casual cool in a green suede jacket, blue jeans and an orange baseball hat. Brad Pitt, 62, has not publicly commented on his daughter's name change.A source recently told the Daily Mail that Pitt views the rift with his children as deeply painful and believes Angelina's role in how things unfolded is the ultimate betrayal. Back in May 2024, Vivienne notably dropped her father's surname in the Playbill program for the Broadway production of The Outsiders, listing her name as Vivienne Jolie while serving as a producer alongside her mother. That move foreshadowed her current legal petition and her public artistic endeavors.Vivienne's art sale represents a new chapter in her personal and professional life. As she continues to establish her identity as an artist under The Tulip Fields, her legal name change remains pending until the November 2 hearing. The event on Saturday drew local shoppers and showcased her creative talents, with support from her twin brother Knox. The family's ongoing public narrative continues to draw attention as Vivienne asserts her independence.
