Jaden Smith Wears a Dress and Becomes Unlikely Ambassador for Gender EqualityThe 16-year-old son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith casually and confidently wears a dress, instantly putting on blast decades of lingering gender hypocrisy in fashion. “Last week, philosophical-tweeting Hollywood wonderkid Jaden Smith stepped out wearing a mesh white top, leopard print socks and a black sweater dress. Yes, a dress. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s fashion-forward son was out-and-about rocking the flowy garment.And while Smith’s usual wacky wardrobe choices have garnered thousands of likes on his Instagram and have turned him from child actor into a teenage style icon, the dress has stirred up both the good and bad in people. Some have supported Smith’s disregard for gender norms, and what’s usually deemed as clothing for ladies. Others, perhaps expectedly, ridiculed the young star.But this actually isn’t the first time Jaden has worn a dress. He’s tweeted in the past about feeling confident in the attire and posted a string of selfies on Instagram showing off his no-pants look.The caption in his Insta-selfie calls out society’s hypocrisy when it comes to fashion and gender equality: “Went To TopShop To Buy Some Girl Clothes, I Mean ‘Clothes.’” There’s no value anymore of putting gender labels on clothes, he’s saying, when fashion—and society—should be past that. Putting on the dress, then, has become a gender-defying moment from one of young Hollywood’s most visible, if occasionally mocked, tastemakers.But while there has been a flurry of Twitter hate, there has thankfully also been those advocating for breaking gender norms.Smith has definitely said yes to the dress and he looks fabulous.Read the full piece herePhotos source: Jaden Smith Rocks Another Dress & Red Roses in His Hair During Weekend 2 of Coachella -- source link
