Jaden Smith Walked The Met Gala Red Carpet Carrying His Dreads, Obviously

He debuted a cropped haircut a couple of weeks ago – but little did we know he actually saved his cut hair so he could proudly carry it on the red carpet. This, plus his suitably gaudy grills, made for a fairly striking appearance.

I’d probably call the hair the centrepiece of this entire look he’s got going on, which he then accesorised with an all-black-everything Louis Vuitton look (obviously womenswear, because again: how could he possibly not.)

Twitter was alternatively baffled and thrilled:

So uh… we just gonna pretend Jaden Smith didn’t bring his own hair as an accessory to the #MetGala right?
