Willow Smith has scored Teen Vogue’s cover for May 2016, making all former/existing 15-year-olds feel downright deplorable in comparison.
Here it is in full:
Fire, gurl.
But it’s not that fact that she’s a bloody beaut creation (being the offspring of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith will do that to you) that’s got our tongues wagging like Miley on speed.
The teen/musician/all-round life slayer is also intellectually stimulating beyond her years, and has let her impressive mental capacity rip in her interview with the glossy.
In addition to being blown away by the fact that her photographer for the shoot was a woman (Australia‘s own Emma Summerton, mind you) and using the opportunity to discuss gender equality (“There is such a need for more female photographers, physicists, astronauts, doctors”), Willow shared her wisdom on the below:
ON FASHION:
“I have some cool shoes on and I wear crazy eyeliner, but it’s really all about emulating the colours you feel inside. A lot of clothes are cute, but after you buy the Yeezy shoes, after you get your hair done with a weave, you’re still the same person. I feel like more and more kids are starting to realise this.”
ON RACE:
“Being a young African-American woman with dreads, it blows my mind that I’m a Chanel ambassador. Like, how am I a Chanel ambassador? It is so beautiful.
“I’m coming into a new part of my life that is completely unknown, and I’m jumping right in. All I can do from here is continue to shift paradigms and continue to push the envelope further and further. But I am doing it every day just by being myself.”
ON JAYDEN:
“We’re like binary stars, like two parts of one thing. I know what he’s thinking at all times. And he knows what I’m thinking. We’re not identical twins, but it feels like that in a lot of ways.”
