Jaden Smith Cut Off His Dreadlocks, Then Carried Them Like A Bouquet To The Met Gala

The key to a killer red carpet look often lies in the accessories, but we have a feeling Jaden Smith took this maxim a little too far for the 2017 Met Gala.

Will Smith’s so-hipster-it-hurts son wore head-to-toe Louis Vuitton for the high-fashion event, accessorised with a handful of… his very own hair.

Yep, the blond dreadlocks his father famously chopped off on Instagram Stories a few weeks ago just made their Met Gala debut. It was weird, it made no sense, but it certainly got Jaden Smith what he wanted: a whole lot of press coverage.
