Fashion icon? Architectural marvel? Knight of the Red Carpet? Jaden Smith just pulled up to the 2025 Grammy Awards looking like a medieval fortress on legs, and honestly, we respect it.
The 26-year-old visionary (and possibly the newest landlord in town) arrived at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday (Feb 2) with his sister, Willow Smith, who—bless her soul—didn’t seem fazed at all by the fact that her brother decided to wear a whole castle as a hat. That’s sibling support.
Jaden: The Real Estate Mogul?
So far, Jaden hasn’t explained the meaning behind his headgear, but let’s break it down. It’s not just any headpiece—it’s an ABODI Transylvania Vampire Castle (yes, you read that right), and frankly, it’s giving Dracula meets Renaissance Fair meets “I just bought a haunted mansion and I’m embracing it.” Whether it’s a metaphor for the housing crisis, a secret promo for an upcoming horror movie, or just a flex to show he could balance architecture on his head, we’re here for it.
Meanwhile, Willow effortlessly served edgy sophistication in a custom Fleur Du Mal lingerie set (casual!), an Alexander McQueen coat, and Versace heels. Jaden complemented her look in a Louis Vuitton tuxedo, MSFTS shirt and tie, New Balance shoes, and of course, the aforementioned castle hat that probably requires a building permit.
The Smith Family: Always the Main Character
Willow and Jaden weren’t just at the Grammys for the vibes—they were also there to cheer on their dad, Will Smith, who is presenting at the event. No word yet on whether Will had to pretend he wasn’t slightly baffled by his son’s decision to turn his head into a medieval Airbnb, but we assume he handled it like the seasoned professional he is.
The 2025 Grammys, hosted once again by Trevor Noah (who must have a timeshare deal with this gig), are airing live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. And in case you were wondering—yes, Beyoncé is leading the nominations with 11 mentions, because obviously.
So, will Jaden’s castle hat go down in history? Will it have its own zip code? Will TSA ever let him through security again? Stay tuned.
