Willow Smith Goes Wild for Karate Kid Premiere

9 years old?!!!!!!! Good gracious me, whatever happened to little girls being little girls?! Then again I suppose its a special occasion but still its a tad OTT!

I am speechless. why oh why do they have to dress/let dress their children like that?
How will they dress when they are teenagers/twens…?

I am sorry but that is ridiculous…. i understand let your kids express themselves but they are allowing them to grow up way too fast..

awful

oh i know i’ll get crap for saying this, but those kids always look like they are trying too hard (and i’m ALL for letting your kids express themselves creatively through how they dress/hair etc -i had hot pink hair when i was 14) they just look like they’re trying too hard to be older and “cool.”

I think that whole family thinks they are WAY cooler than they actually are. And I understand I’m not famous and who am I to say anything but I don’t see a bit of humbleness in any of them. They are always flashy and trying to draw attention to themselves. I stopped watching Will and Jada movies a long time ago because they are very obnoxious. Their kids seem to be following in their footsteps. You would think they were related to P.Diddy or something!!!

Both kids seem very entitled. Not a fan of this family.

Pictres of kids like these make me so thankful for Dakota Fanning. She’s been in the spotlight virtually her whole life and is so naturally happy and secure with herself. Whether they mean to or not, these two come off as some of the most conceited children I’ve ever seen. Not impressive at all to me.

Willow is not flashing any flesh apart from her head and hands and the trousers and jacket are loose and not body conscious at all. She’s not provocatively or inappropriately dressed, and I admire The chutzpah it takes to pull off head to toe animal print.

There will always be haters no matter what, so go for it girl you look fabulous!

I rarely comment too much criticism etc. I like this family but as a grandmother with grandchildren 7-12. I feel she is dressed too old for her age. Why are children now dressed like grown people? Willow is a cute girl but she is dressed like a 17 yr old not a 9. :-( Went shopping for dresses for my granddaughter’s elementary school graduation,
everything that fit her was too old (hot and sexy) so we had to have her dress made :-(

‘She needs to look like a little girl and not something out of a 80′s rock band reject. She doesnt even look like a girl at all. ”

First of all, she doesn’t NEED to look like a girl just because she is one. If a girl is going through a boyish phase then let her. If in years to come she still doesn’t want to wear dresses, then let her be. The style of clothes might not be to everyone’s taste including mine, but at least she isn’t wearing a very high miniskirt at the age of 9 or that overly sexy Halloween outfit that Miley Cyrus’s younger sister was wearing.

I definitely think that one or two of these items paired with some basics would have made a better statement then this. as it is it just looks like she stamped her foot and got to do whatever she wanted. I’ve always liked this family, but am am getting a “better than the rest of ya” vibe from these pictures.

Punk rock wannabe on safari…LOL!!!!

I think it looks awful. Aside from anything else, it’s not stylish but it’s a look more suited to say, Rihanna than a little kid. She looks like someone dressed her for Halloween.

And I have to agree with those that said the Smith family is very entitled and works very hard at being ‘cool’. Why not be like a lot of other LA celebrity families, who just let their kids be kids?

I’m with those who think she looks rediculous! The outfit is definitely too ‘old’ for her, but it would probably look just as bad on someone 10, 20, and 30 years older than her. She’s 9, I hate to say it but the only thing that runs through my mind is that her parents are trying desperately to get some publicity. She is a very cute little girl, the clothes and hair cut totally take away from that.

It’s not that Willow is dressed inappropriately…It’s that what she has on is so fugly no one at any age should wear it! The hair… I can dig but I would hope that Jada would at least have some sense as to guide Willow into knowing how to make a statement versus making a spectacle of herself. Any one of the articles of clothing could have been paired with something else so that that article could shine. Instead she pieced all the articles together to make a monstrosity of an outfit. Whether the kids are spoiled, conceited, entitled, etc.. that’s not for me to say. Age appropriateness of the outfit?… I don’t think that has any merit in this conversation. Many kids have parents who throw together an outfit that can rival this is taste (and some of those parents might out it together for themselves… ugh!!!) Kids tend to want to wear all their favorite items together at one time, it’s the responsibility of the parent to teach them how to put a proper outfit together. Again each piece could have a positive statement if styled correctly and not discourage Willow’s taste or “fashion sense”

Ridiculous, no need to add anything else.

That’s something else for sure.

I think she looks awful, style-wise, but what the heck! It’s a big event, all her bits are covered, and she’s having a bit of fun with her look – so in my book, it’s all good. Apparently, they’re a very fashion conscious family who like a bit of flash, so whatever.

i’m not a fan of the outfit (don’t like animal prints) but can’t really say anything is inapporpriate about it. she’s covered up, she’s wearing flats, and it doesn’t look like she’s got a full face of makeup on…will she look back on this outfit in a few years and cringe? probably, but then we’ve all got an outfit or two (or twenty five) like that… by the very fact that she comes from a well-known, well-off family that has connections to any number of fashion icons, inn addition to the fact that she’s an actress with access to costume departments, she’s going to not be a “normal” 9 year old…

YUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obviously looking for attention. Where was Jada when this kid got dressed?

Ridiculous.

Three words: Boiling Hot Mess.
My son is 12 and has been wanting to pick out his own clothes. Which is fine, but he does receive guidance from his parents (my husband and me). He is NOT leaving the house with a UT Longhorn t-shirt and gray shorts. Guess what, he changed into jean shorts.
It’s ridiculous and too over the top. She doesn’t even look like a little girl.

I watched willow and jaden when they appeared on the Oprah show, I thought they were extremely vain and very conceded little children! Jaden came off so full of him self! I had to change the cancel!and yes Willows outfit is revolting

Atrina, I see more people getting up in arms defending this terrible outfit than people making the comments against it. :)

Rihanna and Lady Gaga had a yard sale apparently.

I think it’s ridiculous. It also seems like this is HER arrogant fashion statement. This is a premier for her brother, not her.

I think it’s a total miss, and she looks like a boy. Or a girl trying to be Mr. T. She’s got years and years to be an edgy adult, so why is she dressed like this at 9? On the plus side, at least everything is covered up.

If they were adults wearing those outfits I would label them attention-grabbing and painfully trendy. As kids, I might say misguided. I get that occasions like this are great chances to dress up and have fun. I don’t see anything “wrong” with what they’re doing. But principles aside, their outfits look ridiculous.

Whatever. They’re not my kids, and it won’t be me looking back in a few years being sheepish about wearing something so stupid.

Strange and weird family. Very, very strange and weird family. They make the Munsters look normal.

Dee,

I’m sorry but this look has NOTHING to do with black culture. Not even a little bit. There is no history or social or cultural context with this look that would suggest it has anything to do with black culture. This is nothing more than a nine year old girl whose parents are allowing her to dress differently to express herself the same as Shiloh Jolie-Pitts parents allow her to dress in a more masculine nature. Being black has absolutely nothing to do with it.

but its okay for little boys this age to run around in a superhero costume? girls can express themselves too and just because it isnt a tutu or princess gown, doesnt make it less cute.. the girl is glowing, and looks adorable.

Whether or not you like her style isn’t really the point. She’s 9 years old!! Don’t talk about her like she’s an adult. Kids today have so much peer pressure and craziness to deal with. Thank God she’s confident in herself and not dieting or doing something unhealthy. So you don’t like her hair or her clothes, but do admire her confidence and her parents’ support of her.

I think that Will Smith and Jada Pinket Smith love themselves so much and it looks like they are giving their children big-head syndrome!

I think people are taking this a bit too far. She’s a kid! She is at the age where she is trying to find her own style and with parents as famous as hers, maybe she feels the need to stand out more. Leave her alone! If she is doing drugs when she gets older, then thats when you worry.

Not a fan of Will or Jada because of their overly arrogant attitudes and it appears to have been passed onto their children. Its all too much. Maybe bring it down a notch or two and teach the children some respect and humility. These two are going to make very interesting teenagers and young adults in a few years.

If you can’t say something nice – don’t say anything at all!!!!!!!!

Why should we care what anyone else’s child is wearing? She’s not exposing any skin and yes it’s a bit different but there is nothing wrong with it. Don’t any of you with kids cringe when they dress themselves and nothing matches? Of course you praise them for getting dressed all by themself and let go of the fact that they look a little wacky…don’t you? I would hope so!

As a parent of wise-beyond-their-years kids, I applaud Will and Jada. She is appropriately covered and using creative freedom to express herself in a healthy way. I don’t see how it is any different than a little girl getting all dolled up in a mature party dress with mini heels and a purse at the same age. Well done WIllow, marching to your own beat at an early age! Stay you!

I suspect many of you ladies don’t understand the concept fashion.. beyond Sex in the City (gag). It’s supposed to be over-the-top, not your every day clothes. It’s not like she is going to school!

I say, why not? She isn’t showing too much skin, so why complain? I dig it.

I don’t like that she is wearing but I don’t think that look grown up, it’s just ugly, but she if likes it…

The 1980’s just called – they want their clothes back!

Yeah okay – she’s the child of a celebrity couple – I don’t know that this outfit would look great on anyone of any age. I think a few people have pointed out that this is ‘fashionable’. I’ve looked everywhere in the department stores and can’t find anything like it.
Bless my poor little girl – she’s going to be so last season!

the clothes is what scream most in these pictures but they dont bother me so much as the atitude that I see looking at their eyes.

My first thought was to wonder why she would dress in such an attention-getting outfit for the preview of her brother’s movie… it’s like she’s trying to take the spotlight off of him! Not a very kind thing to do. But she looks pretty pleased with herself :)

First of all these two kids have an ego bigger then their size! and obviously they do as they please, since they earn their own money. C’mon now folks, who are the parents here??

This kid is adorable in this crazy outfit but she rocked it pretty well… Did she cut off the sides of her hair???

I dont see any problems with this at all. Its not sexy, she isnt showing too much skin, its not strapless or low cut. She’s not showing a bunch of leg or wearing a bunch of makeup. She’s not wearing heels. Her hair is unusual, but so what? Its just hair, it will grow back. I think the outfit is very age appropriate, and while it isnt my favorite, I wouldnt have a problem with my 9 year old wearing this, and I’m pretty conservative when it comes to little girl’s clothing.

I’m amazed at the number of negative comments posted. Yes Willow is nine years old and as noted by one or two others there is nothing sexy about her choice of attire. On the one hand she’s assumed to be pretentious and shallow. The general here is that because of her parents celebrity and obvious wealth she is allowed to choice clothing that, in the opinion of these stellar, good-hearted, and concerned followers, is ‘too old’ for her. And since her parents are disliked for whatever reason the writer has the entire family is considered conceited and flaunting their hard earned monies – interesting. I wonder what these same persons think of young Suri Cruise???

I don’t see an issue. Maybe I wouldn’t let my kid wear it, but she is not showing any skin. She has no makeup on or high heels. A few months ago there was a picture of Miley Cyrus’s sister and shes like 8 and she was wearing a dominatrix outfit and red lipstick. Willow wants to be her own person so who really cares? She seems happy and so do her parents. They want their kids to learn from their own mistakes so if she gets bad comments about her outfit then she will either learn it doesn’t matter or that she needs to change her outfits. What is wrong with letting kids express themselves? It is not hurting anyone, and she isn’t dressing like a street hooker so what is the big deal?

Well Lee, why are YOU are taking the comments so seriously. They aren’t your kids either yet you’re pretty defensive over clothing comments.

Instead of worrying how long and often people post, perhaps it’s you who should get offline and go spend some time with your family.

I love it….. She’s channeling the 80’s…. Yes, the outfit is a tad bit over the top, but it’s really no worse then what any of us had on growing up in the 80’s (and 90’s)…. And I’m sure their were people who thought the same thing about us, just as there was people who thought the same thing about them and so on….

as nicely as I can try and say it… get over over it people, this is not your child, she’s not hurting anything, let the poor girl be

i have always liked will smith and his movies but was never a big fan of jada’s. she always came across as very cold! i have never seen willow on tv or heard her talk, but i have seen jaden on tv before and didnt like the way he acted. he seemed like he thought he was the greatest thing on the face of the earth. i mean its okay to have confidence and teach your kids to have confidence and believe in themselves and achieve their goals, but it seems as if will and jada are teaching their kids to think they are better than everyone else and thats not cool. someday these kids will have to face reality when mommy and daddy cant hold their hand or buy them a script and people dont care who their parents are. i saw the director on the View saying will talked him into re-doing the karaty kid movie because he didnt want to remake it and didnt think jaden had what it took. so his son didnt get this movie without his daddy begging producers for him. thats sad! parents need to let their kids have a normal life.

It’s funny that so many people have said that Willow looks as if she’s channeling Rihanna…in reality, this outfit was put together by Rihanna’s stylists!

So clearly this “look” was not Willow’s doing. Expressing creativity is one thing but her appearance is ridiculous (though 100% not her fault).

One day she will look back at these pictures and say the same thing I do when I look at that awful 80s hairstyle I had in my high school yearbook picture…. “What was I thinking?!”

this is entirely a stylists doing… no 9 year old child would be able to come up with that on their own. willow probably just was game to try it out, but the true one to blame is the stylist.

I LOVE Willow Smith’s movie premiere outfit AND her fro-hawk that Dad is making sure stays nice and high! lol

Here’s what I DON’T like. I don’t like the tone and the implications in many of the comments posted above. The vitriolic critique is totally unnecessary and potentially hurtful. Spare me the age-appropriate blah blah blah. BORING. This is a movie premiere for her brother and she has every right to come out looking wild and FIERCE. It’s cute. No mini-skirts, no tank tops, or shirts showing non-existent boobies. Just CLOTH and jewelry…and a stand out hairdo that will grow back sooner that I can say: HATERS!

It’s not a Black thang, or a Will and Jada thang. It’s a WILLOW SMITH thang and I support that 100% You go gurl!

I have to say, I looked hard at the picture and thought about both sides… ultimately – she’s not wearing anything that is immodest, and her hair is funky, but still feminine in an edgy way (kind of reminded me of Rhianna).
It IS a Hollywood premier, and that makes the outfit not so ‘out-there’. Walking the red carpet is about getting attention, and she got it.

DO I think it was appropriate for her to wear something SO over the top on THIS occasion? No. I think her parents should have made her wear something more low key and allowed her brother the spotlight. It was his occasion, not hers.

Dee,

This has NOTHING to do with black fashion. I’m sure you know so much about the black community for you to give us this expert advice. Just because Willow, Phoenix, and Angel have cut their hair does not mean they represent that black community. I don’t know if you’ve done math lately but 3 children is not indicative of the majority. It’s funny how you had to make a race issue. Eveyrone had their opinion about what Wilow was wearing but your ignorant self had to make it about race. SMDH

I think Willow looks absolutely ridiculous. Her outfit is appropriate for Halloween. The hair style combined with the outrageous clothes is too over the top especially for a child. I am not criticizing the child but some adult near her put this outfit out there for her to wear.

The problem with these Hollywood kids is that they have no boundaries, they are treated like adults and as of consequence they have huge egos. Willow and Jaden have accomplished nothing and do not deserve a lavish premiere. The only reason Jaden got the part is because his dad who is an A-list actor pitched the movie to the Hollywood execs.

I do not understand people who put their children out there in the spotlight and expect them to be immune from criticism.

Dee,

What black community are you speaking of? As a black woman I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. Again, this has nothing to do with black culture or race. Period. It’s a pop fad. Nothing more, nothing less.

Whatever happened to mothers teaching their daughters how to how to grow up to have respect for themselves and to be productive human beings. It doesn’t matter that she is raised by hollywood parents. This family isn’t better than anyone else no matter how much money a person has. These children seem spoiled and some may say it is okay now, but later on when the child is older they will have many mental problems. Don’t say it doesn’t concern us because it does. The upbringing of every child affects us all one way or another.

dressed way to old for her age?
i think not.

this outfit is not acceptable on a teenagers/adult either!!
yes it is an event to dress up for, but that ain’t dressing up, thats rolling around in the reject bin at hot topic.

Lee, get over it, the outfit is hideous. I can’t imagine the anger you feel when Joan Rivers picks on strange celeb outfits if picking on one little outfit upsets you that much.

That hair is horrible!!

I’m sorry, but I would not allow my nine year old to step foot out of my house dressed like that. For that matter, I wouldn’t let my 19 year old dress like that! While it’s true that she is not showing any skin, it’s still horribly immodest! Why in the world would her parents let her wear that?

Gosh, she looks awful !

Not fond of her pants but the rest of the outfit is cute. Maybe a black skirt and tights would have been better.

I agree with the others who don’t see what the big deal is. She’s not showing off her belly, wearing a skirt that’s too shirt, etc. She experiments with her clothing which is a lot better than experimenting with other things!
Cindy Crawford lets Kaia wear makeup and I think she’s about the same age as Willow. I seriously doubt there are this many negative remarks about how she’s too young, etc.

WOW. WOW. WOW. I am all for letting your children have their own individualality but this is way too much. My children love to dress themselves and sometimes its crazy but I would at least want to be seen with them. She is to young to be making these kind of choices. What is going to happen when she becomes a teen??? Could it be the parents were trying to get some attention of their own? Not buying into this. SORRY !!!

I wonder if she’s too young to appear in People’s or Mr. Blackwell’s worst dressed lists because she certainly does. What is she and her parents thinking? The hair is bad enough but the clothes?!? It’s like she’s trying to reincarnate Mr. T with MC Hammer! I think the only normal one of all three of Will’s kids is his oldest because Jayden & Willow seem too full of themselves.

To be honsest I think she looks awfull! She’s just 9,5 she should not be dressed this way!

You know what’s ridiculous? Grown people anonymously bashing a little kid for the clothing choices. Imagine if this little girl reads how cruel adults can be? This type of superficiality shouldn’t be found outside of a highschool lunch room – it shouldn’t be found anywhere for that matter.

Why does she have to conform to other people’s ideals? She is who she is. She isn’t being sexually provocative – she is being fun and flashy. She is expressing herself. Isn’t that what being a child is about – learning who you are?

Why are people threatened when others don’t conform? Just because it isn’t right for you doesn’t make it wrong for her. Be tolerant and stop judging.

There is a difference between looking classy and looking like it is Mr. Dress Up Day. I personally think her outfit is horrible. Why would a parent want to shave their child’s head like that and then spike it up? Maybe it is all in fun but I don’t think they realize how ridiculous it is and if they let her do crazy things now then what will they let her do later? Since when is the child the parent? What happened to boundaries and limitations? Oh, right I forgot, this is Hollywood where anything is acceptable even if it is ridiculous and self indulgence is paramount. Silly me!

To everyone who has referenced Willow’s attire as something you’d wear on Halloween, keep in mind that Willow was actually BORN on Halloween so maybe she’s just into funky clothes?

One thing’s for sure….Willow DEFINITELY inherited Will’s ears!

I agree that a stylist is responsible for the get-up and that hairstyle.

I also agree that in any interview I’ve seen, both kids come across as very rude and arrogant and entitled – much like their parents. So far Jaden has had his acting parts handed to him because his dad arranged it that way. The same will happen with Willow, I’m sure.

The fact that Jaden is bullied by Willow and that he feels as though his parents take her side is obviously going to affect the relationship between the siblings. In these photos alone, you can clearly see that Jaden does not want to pose with his arm around his sister and is standing as far apart from her as he physically can.

As for Will and Jada’s marriage, isn’t it an open one? So, how family oriented can they be if that is the case? There’s been talk of Jada’s sexuality for YEARS. That she’s a lesbian who is only staying married because Will is her meal ticket. Don’t know how much of this is true but if they really do have a shame of a marriage then the fact that their kids dress like they are wearing a costume is probably the least thing on their minds.

@Lee,

Once again, you do not represent all of Black America. Just because you see a few teens on a Subway with shaved head does not make it “black fashion”. How many white kids do you see walking around with mohawks? One should be hesistant to comment if you cannot speak for the majority.

I don’t care for this look, but only because she looks so much like her Dad, that with the mohawk she looks entirely like a mini-Will! LOL. But I think it’s great that her parents let her have her own style.

What’s ridiculous is the amount of time you people spend on commenting on her style. If it’s not hurting anyone, who cares? Live and let live!

You people are RIDICULOUS!!!!! GET OVER IT, she is NOT YOUR CHILD!!!

Holy cow….how is what she is wearing inappropriate. As far as I’m concerned she is COVERED UP and not trying to act older than she is by having body parts exposed!!!

Who died and made all of you the fashion police….if you dont like it cool, say so and move on but what’s with the long drawn out assessment of Jada and WIll’s parenting style because of the way their kids dress?

Sorry to burst your lil bubbles but I work in three high schools and 90% of your sweet angelic daughters hop out of your cars and head straight to the washrooms where they change into some pretty indecent clothes with boobs, butts and belly hanging out everywhere.

SO before you all start judging make sure your own children aren’t at school embarassing you all!!!

Willow looks fabulous and stylish….all haters need to move on and have a great day :)

Wow, smh at some of these comments. (in all seriousness) could someone please point me to these interviews where they’ve seen willow being so arrogant and disrespective, because i’ve never seen them. The last time I saw her was on Oprah and she spoke for all of 30 secs about her hair cut.

In the picture where she’s alone showing so called “attitude” the budding actress/singer was actually filming footage for her music video called “Rockstar”

Jaden and Willow took plenty of pictures together, and they certainly didn’t look like enemies to me, I find it hard to believe neither of his parents ever take Jaden’s side in any sibling squabbles that they have even if Willow does “bully” him. Kids like to exaggerate, (but I could be wrong).

anyway I hope the Smiths continue to be a loving supportive blended family and keep doing them.

Good God Ya’ll! She is in a wealthy Hollywood family. Not surprised. Doesn’t mean I like it though!

From what I’ve heard and read she apparently is. I’ve never been denied anything because of any of the Smiths’ successes, so I’m not going to hate on other people’s goals or dreams, even if their parents did give them a helping hand. I say more power to her. As for the last, well it’s not for me to say what she should be doing to build character.

I love it. Good for her! She is not showing skin and looking like a slut -like most hollywood kids. She’s having fun AT A MOVIE PREMIERE! Not a business meeting! Ya’ll need to get a grip. It takes guts to be 9 years old and go against the grain.. Most adult women wont step out the box if their friends arent looking the same. As long as she doesnt look 19 instead of 9. LIVE IT UP WILLOW! Will and Jada clearly have raised independent, lively children who know how to have age appropriate fun! LOVE IT

@Lee…What on EARTH are you talking about??

@Becca – I tried to figure it out too, but can’t find it. Lee, what are you talking about?

The outfit is adorable and extremely fashionable. I’m not a big fan of the hairdo, though. She’s too cute for that look and it takes away from her face.

And for the record, Jada is a very down to earth Mom. They did a profile and home visit with her in Cookie Magazine (which I miss dearly) and I have nothing negative at all to say about her or her parenting.

In my opinion, i see that there are other ways to show that you’re an attention seeker and that’s by using your own kids. Since Will or Jada can’t do it, well, they got Willow to show it. It’s just my perception.

@Lee, speaking only for myself, I don’t consider my posting a comment (my very first comment on this blog), which took me all of two minutes to type, to be “wasting my whole time.”

I don’t see anyone here “hating” this family so to call perfect strangers “stupid” is really over the top in my opinion.

As Denise stated, the readers of this blog were ASKED TO COMMENT on this particular story and photos. That is the point of this blog, is it not? To express OPINIONS which will differ as people have different thoughts and ideas and feelings on whatever the subject may be and have every right to express them. Just because you don’t agree with some, you think that gives you the right to be rude and obnoxious to people that YOU will never meet? I don’t think so! Are you the editor of this blog?

You never explained your tirade against me, either. Still don’t know what on earth you were talking about.

Dee (June 9th) not sure what schools you are referring to but not all kids go to the washrooms to tramp themselves up after they leave home in the morning.

Willow looks ridiculous and just silly and that’s our opinions. Why you and people like Lee are having such fits and taking personal offense about it all is just odd.

willow hair looks ok but why did she cut it mohawks are out of style she looks ok and everything but she dress up like a grown ladie and her mom does not care what her daugher do and she bullies her brother she would not do that to me her mom needs to talk to her she is getting out of control she looks nice but to much

to clear it up its two lee’s. I made the one comment about the hair style that I see on many black teenagers in my day to day life. The other stuff is from the other lee. It is sad this thread has gotten so crazy. I just made a statement on what I observe in the city I live in. I think teenagers will try all types of crazy things, even if just once. I do agree that Willow is too young to be allowed to dress this way, if she was 12-13 I would understand.

So much negativity! It seems like the Smiths are allowing their children to be individuals without being inappropriate. Willow is not overly “made up” like the little girls in beauty pageants, and she is not in anything too revealing. Will and Jada must be doing something right. Their children are thriving and the whole family seems very emotionally connected and loving. Isn’t that the real issue? Hair and fashions change, but hopefully this family will remain a loving and connected family.

Speaking to those who are taking little Willow’s outfit and blowing it WAY out of proportion. Your comments reflect more about your own character than on whether or not Willow should have worn that particular outfit on that particular evening. In my humble opinion there is a whole lot of hating going on here. How about spending more time building up your own families and stop trying to tear down the Smiths who most likely aren’t overly concerned about your negativity. They look happy and seem to be truly thriving.

I think it’s tight! And you negative commentators are trippin’.

crazy hair-do, oh well thank God her dad is Wil Smith.

IT looks terrible, it is a shame, I thought Will was more intelligent than that to fix his daughter’s hair like that. Please go back to the cute little girl hair styles. She’s a pretty little girl.

she reminds me of Rihanna, i like how it looks but when i think that she is just nine, i’m like omg. where is this world going to? And Will and Jade doesn’t seem to be bad parents but that they allow this!

Speaking to those who are taking little Willow’s outfit and blowing it WAY out of proportion.. She’s just a kid and it’s comments from people like you that start giving sweet little girls like her a complex.
It was a movie premire people.. get over it!!

Willow.. You go girl!!! Don’t ever be afraid to express yourself and don’t pay attention to all the negative feedback.

Honestly, she’s not showing any skin, so I don’t see the big deal. As for the outfit, it may not be my cup of tea personally in any sense, but if that’s what she wanted to wear, then all the more power to her. Children do have minds of their own, even at nine. They have a sense of what they like, and if that’s what she wanted to wear, so what!

Her cuteness makes the outfit work…for her.

Aside from the fact they both look stupid, they also look like spoiled little brats. Sounds like the parents’ money paid for this entire project. And then they went and bought the kids ridiculous-looking outfits – if you think that little girl picked this outfit out herself, you’re delusional. This is obviously a sad attempt at publicity that was masterminded by someone older than nine. Sad, sad, sad.

I think that Willow looks POPPIN’!

Well I guess everyone else in this forum is just raising perfect kids arent they! Shes a child leave her alone! Not like shes pole dancing like Miley Cyrus!

They are so full of themselves.. Really???

In my opinion the outfit is ridiculous, she looks like a mini me of Rhianna (whom might I add looks crazy sometimes as well) I beleive it is ok to allow your children to have their own identity, but children need limits. And I agree there is no skin showing, but wow, they outfit is way too off the wall, she will have plenty of time to be a grown up, let her be a child. Who knows she may even feel pressure to stand out, because her brother is in the lime light.

Really people!!! Your really all gonna sit there and judge the Smith’s parenting style. That alone is ridiculous.

She’s a kid. I think she looks good. I love how you take this one outfit and assume shes gonna be an out-of-control teen in the next 7-9 years. It’s a phase. Maybe one day she may want to be a glam diva, you gonna talk about how much makeup she wears, or why she looks so mature and stuff.

Just because it doesn’t suit your style, doesn’t mean she should dress like a “Dakota Fanning”, very clean cut, cutesy girl. Willow is hot, love her hair style. Can’t wait to see what she comes up with next. Leave the child alone…

What is so wrong with what she is wearing? She isn’t showing any body parts that shouldn’t be seen. Yes the clothes are very loud but who cares? she is having fun let her be.

I don’t understand how what she is wearing reflects how her parents are raising her. I have a daughter who is 13 and even though I buy her very fashionable clothes chooses to dress like a bum when she goes to school. It has nothing to do with how I’ve raised her and everything to do with how her friends and peers see her. They all seem to dress the same and anyone who dresses differently is not a part of the crowd. Thank God that this child seems to have her own sense of style. It is not our place to agree or disagree about it. And for those that say she acts like a diva and seems spoiled and entitled, clearly do not watch Teresa and her daugthers on the Real Housewives of New Jersey. And for anyone who wants to know I am black and it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with how we see ourselves. Because Teresa’s girls act very diva-like, spoiled and entitled but with a mother like that how can you blame them.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! my nine year old wears great fasion all the time. kids at school make fun of her. i asked her once when she wore an over the top out fit to school…”did you feel cute and would you wear it again”? she looked up with a sly smile and said “YES”! i’m sure all the little willows and marions will some day change the world, maybe not in the fasion industry, but it takes a lot to know who you are and what you like at nine, imagine what they will be like in ten years…SUCCESSFUL. as long as a chile is dressed modest why would you ever ridicule them. keep it up willow. i thought you looked AMAZING!!!

Her outfit looks ridiculous, she looks very silly but it really isn’t that big of a deal. I don’t see what the black community has to do with ANY of this. The whole shaving the head thing was popular, but, it wasn’t THAT popular and it’s pretty much out of style now. I’m not speaking for the entire black community just what I see on the streets of NYC.

I was always a child with a lot of personal style and my mom for the most part was very supportive of that. I feel that her outfit is just way too gaudy. She probably could have done better dressing herself.

Oh my goodness. That is actually frightening! I mean she’s such a cutie but what the heck is she wearing and what’s with the mohawk?

She did this because she wants publicity she wanted to have talking about her like they were about karate kid we were hardly giving willow a chance because we were always talking about jaden cause he can dance and he made a song with justin bieber so she wanted just a little publicity little 8 year old Lauryn know whats with her she wouldn’t just say I want to wear a outfit like rihanna because I’m fine not possible if is crazy mixed up world.

So much arrogance at such a young age for so little reason.

So the outfit is wild, definitely. But she’s a kid. I think it’s awesome. She’s 9 years old what would you expect? She’s at a point where she wants to pick out what she wears, and she’s young enough to choose goofy stuff like this. Just by looking at her you can see how confident she is. Why wouldn’t they let her wear this? She’s completely covered up and it’s not like she’s wearing it to school. She’s at a movie premier, why not have some fun?

I really like her boots and jacket!

To NOAN:
He couldn’t wear it because the colors didn’t match. He wasn’t going ANYWHERE with me looking like a clown. Period. End of discussion. Not one time did I EVER say that it was not appropriate. He knew what he was doing, and he told me that he knew that I would say no. As a parent it is my job to GUIDE him. If he wanted to wear a black shirt, it would have been fine. I don’t need any child psychologist spouting to me when it is appropriate for MY child to chose his own outfits. I REFUSE to allow my sons to look like fools. It reflects not only on them but on me. Not that it’s any of your business, but BOTH of my children (ages 12 and 6) choose their own outfits. But, I HAVE FINAL APPROVAL.
I get so sick and tired of people saying children use their clothes to “express themselves”. There are plenty of ways to express yourself without looking a mess. There’s art, music, drama, speaking, writing that can be used as a creative means by which to express yourself.

That is atrocious. They are so weird with their kids! Those kids talk like little adults–so odd.

I don’t believe this is a “black culture thing” – don’t insult an entire race because of celebrity fashion.The Smith’s are not the only “stars’ to do this kind of thing to their kids – look at the Cruise’s (letting a small kid wear highheels is tantamount to child abuse since highheels cause so many foot problems later in life-bunions, fallen arches, etc.)A kid could still be allowed to pick what they like from choices the parents give them.That’s what is called smarter parenting.If you gave your kid everythng or anything that they want without any kind of limitations what’s to prevent Shiloh from going without a top in public(say at any age she wants) because she likes to dress like a boy?It’ called being a parent not a friend.

I love the Smiths, even though I don’t understand Willows style, at least she’s being herself & being unique. She sure is full of personality & confident. :)

awww she is soooo beautiful.I love this family!They a very sweet.Little Willow is a very beautiful little girl:)

as for all of the “hating” behind the kids getting roles because of their parents…GET OVER IT! This is not new! Most successful business is a “who you know” business…from Hollywood to Corporate America. If the kids want in, mom and dad should make it happen if the can.

Sorry, but she looks ridiculous. She likes to get attention and obviously loves drawing it away from her brother even when it’s his moment. He is a better actor. It’s natural and he looks realistic. She tries tooooo hard and it comes across as unbelievable. He has a more mature approach to things. I understand that she wants attention and wants to act and all that stuff but maybe her parents need to help her find out what she is really good at first and then let her jump into it.

i don’t understand why people have such negative comments, i like the outfit and atleast she doesnt have skin showing, shes expressing herself and i like it

She really looks normal in Britain. A lot of kids dress like this but unless you leave the US you will never know.

She’s a CHILD…I think that all of the nasty comments were uncalled for, consider how you would have felt hearing someone criticize you at that age. She is not yours, so maybe all of you adults who sit in judgment of a 9 yr old should really shut up and take stock of your own selves. She dresses how she wants to and if her parents allow her to, that is up to them. SHE IS THEIRS!!!

I just don’t get why people are so worked up over a child’s clothes. She is not dressed in an indecent manner.I think that she is expressing herself, we all have free will so let Willow express her artistic side and you haters out there, find someone your own age to pick on.

Lol, She is as cute as can be and so is their family! They have worked so hard to get where they are and their children are paving their own way as well! They’re all successful and at the age of 9, she can wear whatever she wants if its not provocative! Their well behaved and have their own goals, and are beyond talented. Did you not see Karate Kid? Did you not hear Willow’s voice? PLEASE! If she wanted to shave her head I would let her! And half of the parents complaining, children probably run all over you! BYE! Im #TEAMSMITH!
Young Addy signing out=)
p.s. I dont think they think they’re hotter than what they are because they seem quite HUMBLE to me! But in my opinion, THEY ARE HOTTER THAN WHAT THEY THINK THEY ARE!

I like the last comment :) sorry friends, but that´s the right one.

oh come on you people! she is just amazing! she looks like a girl of her age. I haven’t seen her hearing heels or make-up like Katie Holmes daughter and so many other! she doesn’t pretend to be someone she is not. I’ve watched her at Ellen’s show and she talks like my sister who is her age. Stop being so judgemental with everyone you are just jealous of.

I think her style is aweosme!
