Nothing pink or frilly for Shiloh!
by auditioning contributor Kaisa
According to The Sun, Angelina Jolie has reportedly offended her in-laws by not making Shiloh wear their sent clothes. Parents of Angelina’s partner, Brad Pitt, Jane and Bill, sent their first grandchild a pile of pink and frilly dresses. But Angelina doesn’t like any clothes of that sort and has refused to put them on Shiloh.
A source close to the family said: "She [Angelina] knows her mind and knows how to dress her kids. She doesn’t like pink, girlie, frilly clothes and doesn’t want her babies to be dressed as dolls. Ang said thanks for the dresses but won’t put them on her. Though I don’t think she has realised how much it has upset Brad’s family."

Funny, I remember seeing Zahara in a pink outfit…

This quote is from The Sun so should really be taken with a very large dose of salt!

Sorry over zealous I meant pinch of salt!

LMAO the Sun what will come up with next..
June 28th, 2006 at 10:32 am
The Sun, ha-ha, they should spend more time lookng for Jesus on toast and Pringles and less time on making this stuff up. I am sure Angelina would graciously accept all gifts from Brad’s family, even if they weren’t her taste. That’s what I do!

This is just funny. Man, the Sun is hilarious.

Access Hollywood recreated Shiloh’s nursery. I have to admit even I was surprised by how traditional and “girly” it is. LOL Angie was even spotted buying pink baby clothes in Paris. The Sun needs to hire better fiction writers.

I have to say this sounds like BS. It sounds likely that Angelina doesnt like pink and frilly, but I have a hard time imagining someone so generous wouldnt dress up her daughter once in a while to make the grandparents happy.
June 28th, 2006 at 12:07 pm
I agree i don’t think Angie is the type of person to out right offend anyone, and certainly not her children’s grandparents, over something as meaningless as clothes even if they weren’t her taste. Personally i wouldn’t put anything ‘pink and frilly’on my daughter ethier, at least not on a regular basis, but once and a while prehaps if it was a gift i would.
June 28th, 2006 at 12:15 pm
If it is true I think Angie have every rights to dress her kids in anything she wants, but was really sweet of Brad’s parents to show how much they care.
June 28th, 2006 at 12:58 pm
I don’t buy the story however Zahara has been seen in dresses! And I can’t see Angie being all Frilly with her new daugther (as we saw in her introduction pics)! But I think the fun of having a girl is to play dress up LOL!
June 28th, 2006 at 1:28 pm
Maybe she should’ve said something instead of letting them buy piles of clothes just to have her reject them
June 28th, 2006 at 1:31 pm
I can’t imagine anyone saying something like that, let alone Angelina. She seems too kind. We’ve received clothing for the children that aren’t our necessarily our tastes. We put them on the kids anyway.:) I imagine most people do the same. Now that our oldest daughter is 8, she hardly ever chooses anything we like anyway. In fact, she wears the same cheerleader-type outfit at least 3 times a week. Sometimes I leave it in the “wash pile” so I can get some reprieve.

I can’t imagine any baby girl not wearing frilly, pink clothing. They develop their own style as they grow older. Usually a lot more distasteful than their baby clothes. Let them wear what grandparents love when they visit with them. Don’t be selfish and hurt the older folks feelings, please.
June 28th, 2006 at 2:37 pm
I think this raises an interesting discussion, though, I mean it’s like anything given as a gift — do you necessarily have to wear/use it simply to please the giftgiver? Doesn’t seem fair, necessarily, even if gifts are given from kindness and generosity. I personally don’t feel compelled to wear or use anything given as a gift if I don’t like it! And I don’t think (even in theory, whether the story about Shiloh and the frilly dresses is true or not) that Angelina should have to dress Shiloh up in anything she doesn’t want to.
June 28th, 2006 at 2:58 pm
Should this be true, I think it’s sad. Baby girls are so cute in pink, frilly clothes!
June 28th, 2006 at 3:04 pm
My MIL knew how little I thought of frilly, lacy, froo froo dresses for my daughter. She bought one for her at about 6 months of age and I told her very nicely that anytime my daughter came to her house, she was welcome to dress her in it, but it just was not my style. No problem! I doubt the story in the Sun is true, though.
June 28th, 2006 at 3:33 pm
This is probably so untrue, though maybe Angelina would prefer not to have her new one wearing bright pinks.
June 28th, 2006 at 3:41 pm
I also doubt that the story in the Sun was true, or at least that Angelina used the same words.
It would be wise if Angelina got together with Brad’s parents soon, have some nice pics made of herself and them, and released them… I’m sure Brad would be happy about that, as it would finally put an end to these rumours that Brad’s parents and Angie don’t get on that well. Brad’s mom is/was known for her good relationship with Jennifer and that surely adds even more to these nasty rumours.
I’m quite sure I’ve seen Zahara in something pink and girly… I know it’s entirely up to Angie (and Brad!) how to dress their kids but grandparents can be very upset if they are being snubbed. Personally, I don’t believe that rumour.

I just for some reason do not see Angelina Jolie, the person that advocates for orphaned children and travels all over the world to help out with such children, being ungrateful for any gift given. She has most likely seen the depths and sadness to poverty and I am sure that she would remember that she should be thankful that her daughter has the luxury of those clothes whether she likes them or not.
June 28th, 2006 at 6:20 pm
If this is true (which I doubt), I don’t blame her one bit. If I ever have a daughter, she won’t be in frilly dresses either. They look so uncomfortable to me. We received several outfits at my baby shower for my son that we never used because I simply didn’t care for them. I ended up donating them to a crisis pregnancy center. There’s nothing wrong with that. Everyone has their own taste and preferences.
June 28th, 2006 at 6:21 pm
If think The Sun is a bad newspaper, ok it’s not really a newspaper, it’s a tabloid, they like to say things that aren’t really true, but anyway, if it’s true, it’s their problem, although I think there’s nothing bad in a girl dressing pink clothes. But, I really don’t believe in what that newspaper says!
June 28th, 2006 at 6:29 pm
It sounds like typical English tabloid BS to me. But on the topic of unwanted clothing gifts? I always take a picture of my daughter in whatever outfit she has been sent and then email/post the picture to the sender. Even if she never wears it again they still know how she looked in it (and probably thought she looked gorgeous) so I figure everyone is happy.
June 28th, 2006 at 6:37 pm
I highly doubt that this is a true story.
My daughter was never the frilly dress type of girl. She does have a lot of pink things but she was always more of a pants/shorts & shirt girl. When she does wear a dress it was always something simple. She has really sensitive skin and can only wear 100% cotton so it works out well since all the frilly stuff is polyester and such.
June 28th, 2006 at 7:33 pm
I can understand her feeling it unnecessary to treat Shiloh like a doll. I can see where she’s coming from, I’ve always liked my son in simpler preppier outfis while my mother in law loves to buy these babyish outfits with animals all over them. I just recently broke the mold a little and allowed my son to get some Disney Cars sandals that light up when he walks, and an Elmo t-shirt at Sesame Place. Huge steps for me, but he’s becoming his own person now and knows what he likes. Whether this is true or not, I understand why Ang wouldn’t wanna dress her that way and I understand why the in laws would have hurt feelings.
June 28th, 2006 at 8:43 pm
I can see it now: Angelina, Shiloh, Zahara and Maddox wearing nothing but black clothes!
June 28th, 2006 at 9:46 pm
Give me a break. What a ridiculous story. I bet Angelina hears these things and laughs about the stories that are made up about her. They really must have nothing to talk about. Even if Angelina didn’t want to dress Shiloh or Zahara in pink frilly clothes, I highly doubt she would tell Brad’s mum that she won’t use her gifts. She doesn’t seem like a rude person. What the heck.
June 29th, 2006 at 10:52 am
My sister-in-law was the same way with my niece – nothing pink or frilly or ‘girly’. Now that my niece has reached the wisened age of five it turns out that she PREFERS girly clothes! LOL It just goes to show that taste in clothing is so very personal.
So long as the child is choosing clothing that is season-appropriate, age-appropriate, in good repair, and discrete (what’s that? LOL), does it really matter whether or not it’s pink and frilly?
July 8th, 2006 at 12:43 am
What a load of crap.
This tabloid is obviously making things up. They lost all credibility in this little story when they referred to Shiloh as the Pitts’ first grandchild.
They have several grandchildren already from their son and daughter, both younger than Brad.
