Gender expectations are a thing of the past, especially when your name is Jaden Smith. His gender presentation has made the official entrance into fashion as he has been crowned as the new face of Louis Vuitton’s womenswear campaign.

Bruce Weber, the legendary photographer, shot all of the advertisements with their debut appearing on Nicolas Ghesquière’s Instagram who is the current creative director of Louis Vuitton.

He was dressed in a skirt, fringed top, and motorcycle jacket that were showcased at Paris Fashion Week.

In the past few years, Jaden Smith has been seen as a young philosopher with the Twitter hashtag “#TweetLikeJaden” trending.

Smith was named one of GQ’s 20 Most Stylish Men Alive in 2015, where his bold fashion statements have included where a black-and-white outfit along with a skirt at his prom, and dressing up in a white Batman suite at Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s wedding.

This comes a little more than six months after his younger sister, Willow, became one of the faces of Marc Jacobs’ campaign.

We hope that Jaden Smith continues to inspire, educate, and chase his dreams of breaking down stereotypes and gender norms.
