Jaden Smith’s Prom Look Involves a Cape, Naturally

Jaden Smith’s style story continues! The 16-year-old risk-taker selected a white cape and Batman-inspired bodysuit for his prom (you didn’t think he’d actually wear a tuxedo, did you?), and the whole look is giving us flashbacks to the outfit he wore to Kim and Kanye’s wedding.

So did he recycle the same white bat suit? Possibly, but it’s also possible that Smith just has a number of superhero-inspired looks hanging in his closet. In some of the photos shared on social media, Will and Jada’s son also has on a white suit jacket. And while his ensemble may not be traditional, it did match his date who selected a open-back white gown with lace detailing for the occasion. See photos below.

Smith has been very open about embracing his unique gender-neutral style. (We’re still talking about that Coachella flower crown!) Back in 2013, he incorporated unisex tunics and skirts into his own clothing line. He also told Billboard magazine recently that being true to himself is more important than following the latest trends.

“Einstein didn’t really like to change clothes because he had too much other stuff to worry about, and I’m the same,” he said. “If somebody is just wearing something for the blogs, that’s really sad, because they’re not living for themselves, versus someone wearing a kimono who’s having an awesome time.”
