Willow Smith’s Red Carpet Evolution, From Rock Star to High Fashion Muse

Willow and her mom Jada brought some major high-fashion to the premiere of Will’s movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, in 2024.

The singer tapped into the no pants trend at the 2024 Met Gala, wearing a satin suit jacket from Dior and not much else.

Shirts are optional when it comes to Willow’s take on the classic suit.

The singer blinged-out her Stella McCartney pants to attend the 2022 Emancipation premiere.

For the Vanity Fair Oscars bash, Willow went bold in a sequined David Koma bra top that she paired with high-waisted pants and tiny glasses.

In case there were any questions about Willow fully embracing her pop punk era, here’s the musician performing onstage in Las Vegas wearing a hot pink dress and black combat boots.

Pictured here with Tyler Cole, the musician pairs black leather with a rainbow sherbet two-piece.

Willow’s look for Rihanna’s Fenty show fit her personal style perfectly: thigh-high black socks, Doc Martens, and just a hint of skin beneath black satin.

Supporting her father’s role in the Aladdin live-action Disney film, Willow appeared at the premiere wearing the Romanian streetwear label Seen Users.

Breaking from her usual wardrobe palette of black, black, and more black, Willow donned a technicolor neon bodysuit for her concert at The Novo in Los Angeles. Her Doc Martens boots, of course, were still in rotation.

Cut-outs on a black bodysuit are given a heavy metal touch with ring closures.

Willow has high-level tastes for graphic tees and at the Louis Vuitton fall 2019 presentation, she showcased her affinity with a modern take on a t-shirt.

The musician and actress put a ladylike spin on her personal style with a Dior vest, sheer pleated skirt, and mules.

Denim cut-offs, Chuck Taylor sneakers, and a leather moto jacket scream rock and roll.

For a visit to Tokyo to attend Chanel’s Metiers d’Arts show, Willow channeled some Harajuku vibes for her hairstyle.

Willow’s Chanel gown gives texture to a monochrome look.

The newly-minted Chanel brand ambassador attended the 2016 Met Gala dressed like a fabulous rockstar in a black-and-white speckled coat, matching crop top, and black satin capri pants.

Willow channeled Karl Lagerfeld in fingerless gloves and a black, white, and gray look at Paris Fashion Week.

At the Chanel fall 2016 couture show, Willow wore a modern green pantsuit from the brand that she accessorized with moto gloves and brogues.

Smith looked effortlessly stylish at the 2015 Black Girls Rock Awards in a heather gray pantsuit with a cropped turtleneck, shiny gray socks, and black block heels.

WIllow looked incredibly chic in a monochromatic black-and-white look at the premiere of After Earth.

At the L.A. premiere of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the singer looked chic and retro in a printed multi-colored overcoat.

Returning to her edgy roots, the singer attended the 2012 BET Awards wearing a sleeveless graphic sweater, cut-out leggings, and Chanel combat boots.

Willow hit the red carpet at the premiere of The Karate Kid in 2010 wearing a quintessential rock-and-roll look.

Willow looked like a princess in a short-sleeved yellow gown, a small black clutch, and minimal jewelry.

Paying homage to her dad at the 2011 BET Awards, Willow donned a heart-shaped braided hairstyle, a yellow Fresh Prince t-shirt, black short and red blazer.

Pictured here with her older brother Jaden at the premiere of I Am Legend in 2007, Willow wore a black velvet pantsuit with a coordinating headband for the occasion.

Willow attended another film premiere, this time for The Seat Filler in 2006, hand-in-hand with her mom Jada Pinkett Smith.

At the premiere of Shark Tale in 2004, Willow wore a pink tweed blazer (Chanel, were you paying attention?) and a big smile in her dad’s arms.
