The Grammys red carpet is always a stage for bold fashion choices, and Jaden Smith ensured all eyes were on him with an outfit that quickly became the talk of the night.
The 26-year-old artist arrived in a sleek black Louis Vuitton suit, but it was his towering "Vampire Castle" headpiece, designed by ABODI and valued at $4,602.80, that captured the most attention. The elaborate design featured castle spires encircling his face, immediately reminding fans of Willem Dafoe’s viral 2023 GQ Italia Man of the Year cover.
Social media was quick to react, with one user stating, "You will never be him," referencing Dafoe. Others flooded X with house-related jokes, with some questioning if Jaden was trying to one-up the already over-the-top fashion scene at this year’s event.

Meanwhile, his sister Willow Smith also made a statement, wearing a striking black outfit with voluminous curls and metallic grills—one featuring a bright green front tooth. While Willow was nominated for two awards, Jaden was there to support their father, Will Smith, who was presenting at the ceremony.
