Jaden Smith was slammed on social media for his wild 2025 Grammy Awards look.
The famous offspring, 26, walked the red carpet at the Sunday, February 2, event in an odd castle headpiece paired with a classic Louis Vuitton suit. Despite looking confident, the internet was not enthralled with the ensemble.
"Whoever told him this was a good idea doesn't like him," one X, formerly known as Twitter, user penned.
"Jaden Smith, you’re not a vibe bro," a second user said.
"It is all about grabbing people’s attention during the #GRAMMYs. Kanye West and Jaden Smith successfully accomplished that," another added.
"Jaden Smith wearing his art project on his head for attention?…..SMH," a fourth stated.
"Jaden Smith trying to figure out how to grasp attention without having any talent whatsoever," another person wrote.
Jaden was joined at the lavish ceremony by his sister, Willow Smith, who is nominated for Best-Engineered Album, Non-Classical for her most recent body of work, Empathogen.

Despite overcoming personal hurdles as a family, the After Earth actor's father, Will Smith, also showed up, marking his first awards show appearance since the infamous 94th Academy Awards when he publicly slapped Chris Rock for commenting on his estranged wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.
“There’s many nuances and complexities to it, you know, but at the end of the day, I just lost it," the Hitch actor told The Daily Show host Trevor Noah during a November 2022 interview about the situation. “You just never know what somebody’s going through.”
“You just don’t know what’s going on with people,” Will continued. “And I was going through something that night. Not that that justifies my behavior at all, but you’re asking what I learned, and it’s that we just got to be nice to each other, man.”
The Bad Moms star — who revealed she and Will separated in 2016 — claimed the altercation "saved" their marriage despite still not officially getting back together. “I nearly didn’t even attend the Oscars that year, but I’m glad I did," she revealed in a 2023 interview. “I call it the ‘holy slap’ now because so many positive things came after it.”
“That moment of the s--- hitting the fan is when you see where you really are,” she added. “After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him. Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?"
