Jaden Smith Wore a Black and White Tweed Louis Vuitton SS25 Blazer with Light Blue Denim Jeans and a Petite Malle bag to Paris Fashion Week

Jaden Smith is in his own lane, and he is unapologetic when it comes to how he chooses to present himself to the world.

During the Louis Vuitton Fall 2025 runway show in Paris on Monday, he arrived in a black and white tweed peplum blazer, that he paired with light wash denim jeans and his latest LV Petite Malle handbag.

His look which can be characterized as having feminine attributes, is a reflection of gender fluid fashion, a movement that challenges traditional gender norms in clothing. Gender fluid fashion has become a phenomenon, with many brands and designers creating more gender-neutral collections that are inclusive and celebrate self-expression.

Louis Vuitton Men’s Creative Director, Pharrell Williams has done an extraordinary job of advocating for gender fluidity in fashion, and in many instances has become a walking billboard for the cause. We often see Pharrell donning the latest Louis Vuitton handbags or rocking the color pink, reminding us that there are no rules in fashion.

Jaden has also adopted that philosophy, and he fearlessly wears clothes that speaks to his personal style. In a video posted to Fashion Bomb daily instagram page that has amassed over 20K likes, fans had a lot to say.

Fashion Bomb reader, @Enve_official shared, “We love Jaden, he seems so unproblematic and just likes to experiment with his fashion,” while @kay.full.ofgrace questioned, “Peplum? It’s giving auntie on the top and unc at the bottom😭.”

User @e11y_azer96 also expressed, “When do people realize that fashion is not Gender? This is a free man who isnt afraid to explore fashion!!“

There’s something to be said about the people who are able to embrace their own individuality without fear of being ridiculed or judged. It takes a lot of a courage and confidence.

It’s great to see gender fluid fashion become more prevalent and mainstream because at the end of the day, clothes are just simply clothes. If there’s a piece that personally speaks to you, by all means ROCK the hell out of it because at the end of the day, there’s only ONE you, and can’t nobody do it LIKE YOU!

They often say, “repetition is reputation,” and Kelly’s stylist Wilford Lenov know’s a thing or two about delivering WOW-factor. In addition to the designer Valdrin Sahiti, who is a renowned Albanian fashion designer known for his exceptional wedding and evening gowns. If you recall, he created a series of wonderful looks for Beyonce during her Renaissance tour.

Kelly’s asymmetrical long sleeve embellished gown was adorned with crystals, and finished with a fringed hem. She layered her gowns with a matching burnt orange statement feather coat that delightfully hung off her shoulders. Her open-toe Flor De Maria sandals were complimentary allowing her ensemble to remain in the spotlight.

When it came down to her flawless beat, she gave old Hollywood glamour with a subtle smokey eyeshadow, and a soft iced mocha lip. Her hair was slicked back and parted down the side with a a kiss-curl that referenced the 1920’s flapper fashion.

We adored this look on Kelly Rowland, and she looked so confident in her own skin. Although we’re only 3-months into the new year, we can’t wait to see how Kelly takes more calculated risks with her fashion and style.

Apart of Valentino’s Spring 2025 Haute Couture collection, Doechii’s long-sleeve gown was rich in texture, and characterized with silver embellished crystals and embroidery. Featuring a dramatic neckline, and an exaggerated flare silhouette, her gown evoked modernity and regality. Her gold stiletto nails layered with diamond rings, matched perfectly with the golden hue of her ballroom gown.

American Costume Designer Paul Tazewell broke history at the Oscars Sunday evening, becoming the first black man to win the ‘Costume Design‘ award for his work in ‘Wicked.‘

He is the second black person to win the Costume Design award following the legendary Ruth E. Carter who won back in 2018 for her work in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

In a press conference backstage, Tazewell shared

“This is the pinnacle of my career, I have been designing costumes for over 35-years. Much has been on broadway and now into film, and the whole way through there was never a black male designer that I saw that I could follow, that I could see as inspiration. And to realize that that’s actually me, it becomes a “Wizard of Oz” moment.“

In addition to his Oscar win, Tazewell has previously won a BAFTA award, Tony award , and Costume Designers Guild award for his remarkable work in the fashion industry. The NYU alumni who broke out on the scene in 1996 with his Broadway debut “Bring in ‘Da Noise, Bring in Da’ Funk” has come quite a long way.

His costume designing has been featured in Broadway hits including ‘The Color Purple,’ ‘MJ,’ and ‘Ain’t Too Proud.’ Not to mention his excellent work on Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story (2021)” which first garnered him his first Academy Award nomination. Now 4 years later, and Paul Tazewell returned to the Academy Awards to claim his well-deserved prize.

For the joyful moment, Paul wore a black custom Dolce & Gabbana suit with a white silk shirt and tie and that was adorned with a silver embellished pendant. On Fashion Bomb daily’s instagram page, @tahirajoy commented, “He looks dashing! Well deserved win ❤️,” while @truebeautyt33 shared, “He was dressed for the part of a winner, congrats sir.”
