After facing backlash for his Christian Louboutin debut collection, Jaden Smith sparked even more conversation with his latest Paris Fashion Week outing.
This week, the 27-year-old was spotted out to dinner in Paris with his parents, Will and Jada Smith. As the trio stepped out of their vehicle, Jaden’s look immediately caught attention—he sported a dramatic, shaggy jet-black emo-style hairpiece that pretty much obscured his entire face. His outfit consisted of baggy trousers, a hoodie, a long black trench coat, and chunky boots, giving him a dramatic, streetwear-inspired silhouette. See the hair here!

Jada complemented the edgy vibe with a hoodie adorned with rosette appliqués diagonally across the front, striped trousers, and white boots, while Will kept it casual in a hoodie, baggy trousers, boots, and a beanie. The family smiled and waved to fans as they made their way inside.
Online, fans couldn’t stop reacting to Jaden’s hair, drawing comparisons to everything from random characters to pop culture references.
“Omg, I thought it was a K-pop band. Not even kidding, until Will Smith walked out.”
“Addams Family.”
“Will looks great, Jada is a vampire, and Jaden is where the wild things are.”
“Why is he wearing Kris Jenner’s wig lol?”
“That’s my aunty’s wig.”
“Emo’s Final Boss.”
“Did you say dinner? Jaden will eat his hair; his mouth is covered.”
Other netizens were more blunt with their comments:
“They let him leave the house looking like that,” said one user.
“Gets weirder by the year,” another wrote.
Someone else commented, “Mentally unhinged? Ridiculous”
“No one thought of fixing his wig? What has our society become?” another asked.
Jaden Smith Slammed for New Christian Louboutin Collection
Back in September 2025, the rapper and singer stirred widespread debate when he was named Men’s Creative Director for French luxury brand Christian Louboutin.
In his new role, he is responsible for overseeing the creation of four collections per year, with his first designs debuting at Paris Fashion Week on January 21. In behind-the-scenes footage from the collection, Jaden was seen meticulously inspecting and adjusting each piece, flipping through lookbooks and photos, and trying on select items, including an oversized backpack with multiple pockets. He also showcased sleek patent leather boots from the lineup.
“We’ve been developing this for about nine to 10 months. I’ve been coming here to Paris and working with the team and developing this…trying to build a design language…to create something that inspires people and creates whimsy and makes people excited about what’s to come,” he explained in the video.
Despite his hands-on approach, social media users were quick to criticize both his appointment and his designs.
“The poor actual design team that has to sit through this,” one person wrote.
Another added, “Feel sorry for all the talented fashion design students that would have loved and deserved a shot at this. #LivingInANepoWorld.”
A third commenter weighed in more broadly, saying, “Sometimes I think of the kid from the bad side of town that has more talent in their little finger than one of these nepo babies, and I mourn the loss of writing, art, and design we may never get because these guys took their place. In every sphere.”
