Jaden Smith wore a formal dress to escort Amandla Stenberg to prom
Jaden Smith hasn’t attended traditional school in several years, but he loves going to prom. He recently dressed as a caped superhero to escort a friend to her fanciest shindig. He attended another prom this past weekend with Hunger Games‘ Amandla Stenberg (she played the tragic Rue). Jaden’s made a habit of showing his fondness for wearing skirts and well-placed flowers. He combined all of these elements here.
I’m including several photos from Amandla’s Instagram. She and Jaden made a gorgeous couple (although they’re just friends, maybe). Jaden decided to go formal for this event with a long white skirt under a black tunic. The sneakers are okay, but combat boots would have been better. Some people think Jaden’s simply begging for attention, but he once told Billboard that he only dresses for himself: “If somebody is just wearing something for the blogs, that’s really sad because they’re not living for themselves, versus someone wearing a kimono who’s having an awesome time.” Most importantly, Jaden’s ensemble doesn’t overshadow Amandla’s dress. He’s just chilling and having a good time.
Hopefully, Jaden and Amandla danced the night away. His long formal skirt would prohibit quick movement, but there are few things that bring as much joy as a dancing Jaden Smith.
