Will Smith's daughter. Willow and Jaden Smith: cool style of star kids

Willow Smith is the daughter of famous American actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. But the girl is famous not only for her relationship with Hollywood stars. She became popular largely due to her own vocal, acting and choreographic abilities.

Willow was born in 2000 in Los Angeles.


She is the youngest child in the family.

Her older brothers Trey and Jaden Smith decided to follow in the footsteps of their parents, and little Willow’s stage career seemed destined.

Career

The girl's debut in cinema took place when she was only seven. She then starred with her dad in the popular fantasy action film I Am Legend, in which Will Smith played the main character.

It is noteworthy that despite her father’s connections, the girl participated in the casting along with everyone else. On the set, she demonstrated not only her acting abilities, but also her endurance. Will Smith says that several scenes with his daughter’s participation had to be filmed in the cold, and yet the filming of even one short episode sometimes stretches on for hours. The girl was cold, she was tired, but firmly stated:

“Dad, even if it’s even colder, I’ll still finish what I started.”

The second film with the participation of the little girl was the drama “Kit Kittredge: The Mystery of the American Girl”, released in 2008, and in the same year the young artist participated in the dubbing of the cartoon “Madagascar 2”: it is in her voice that the charming hippopotamus Gloria speaks.

In 2010, the little girl showed herself as an aspiring singer: working under the guidance of American rapper and producer Shawn Corey Carter (known to the public under the pseudonym Jay Z), Willow released her first single called “Whip My Hair.”

Although the hip-hop song was the debut of the aspiring singer, it instantly became a hit, and critics approvingly compared the girl with the already established Rihanna. In an interview, Jada Pinkett Smith shared her thoughts about her daughter’s vocals:

“You know, she’s nine now. And I don’t know who she has that voice for. She sings like she's a grown woman. Where does this feed come from? I have no idea, but it's incredible. Music is definitely her path.”

The girl initially seemed like an adult not only because of her excellent vocal abilities, but also because of her wisdom, which is unusual for children. When, after the release of the debut song, ten-year-old Willow was asked what it was about, she replied that the song is about how important it is to be yourself, not to be afraid to be an individual and not to allow anyone to undermine a person’s faith in himself. It was self-confidence that helped the girl become who she is now - a bright star on the stage.

In 2015, Willow's debut album, Ardipithecus, was released.

The young singer explained the meaning of the name like this:

“Ardipithecus ramidus is the scientific name of the first known hominid, which some consider to be the prototype of man. I wanted to name the album after this creature, because when I was working on the songs, I was also in a kind of transitional state. I looked deep inside myself and found relics of my ancient nature, and each such discovery had its own story, which was embodied in the next song.”

Since the girl was busy on stage and in films from an early age, she could not study at a regular school, and she received her secondary education by studying with private teachers. The star girl's teachers were clearly good. This can be seen in the way she views education. Willow says learning doesn't end with graduating from high school or getting a college degree. According to the young artist, every person should study all his life - on his own. Here is another opinion that reveals a girl as an adult, accomplished person.

Personal life

There are a lot of rumors surrounding the personal life of Will Smith's 17-year-old daughter. At one time it was rumored that she had not yet decided on her own sexual orientation, and many were sure that the girl was a lesbian. Probably, conversations on this topic arose due to the fact that Willow looks like a boy and once even cut her hair very short.


One way or another, the rumors were not confirmed: the young artist is heterosexual and, at the age of 14, she dated a young man, Moises Arias, who is six years older than her.

They were often seen together, although it is still unknown for certain whether they loved each other or were just friends.

Today, tall and beautiful Willow is completely focused on her career and therefore does not think about boys. In addition to stage work, she is engaged in a noble cause: helping African children with AIDS, being, along with her brother Jaden, an ambassador for one of the major charity projects.

The children of the star of the movie “Men in Black,” 18-year-old Jaden and 16-year-old Willow Smith, despite their young age and very unusual appearance, succeed in modeling. They have already headlined several covers of glossy magazines and campaigns for leading European fashion houses, and it seems that this is just the beginning.

The public has been monitoring the fate of black teenagers with dreadlocks since their childhood. It’s no joke, both are typical copies of their father and, it seems, his main achievement in life. Having been given the opportunity by their parents to engage in any field of activity, Jaden and Willow decided to try everything: from cinema to clothing design. At the same time, they follow the same script, which they write without the help of their famous parents.

At the age of eight, Jaden made his debut in the film The Pursuit of Happyness, for which he received his first award in the form of gold-plated popcorn at the MTV Movie Awards and a leading role in the film The Karate Kid. The boy's truly outstanding performance alongside Jackie Chan himself brought him worldwide fame and the laurels of a worthy successor to his father's work. However, from Will he adopted not only his talent for acting: from a “karate kid”, Jaden sharply grew into a hip-hop performer, displacing his younger sister on stage.

Willow, who also began to realize herself with cinema, released a “breaking” song in 2010, which attracted the attention of Jay-Z. The producer invited Smith's daughter to sign a unique contract to release a solo album and shoot several video clips. They helped Willow show not only her excellent vocal abilities, but also all her originality, which could not escape Lagerfeld’s eyes.

In 2014, Kaiser photographed the unusual girl for V magazine, where she was called “Hollywood’s most magnificent teenager.” To match this title, Willow was dressed in outfits from Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Givenchy, without encroaching on the individuality of the young celebrity. Smith, who is used to changing according to her mood and dying her hair in all the colors of the rainbow, appeared in the image of a “little punk-girl”, but now in couture.

After a photo shoot with Karl, Willow swapped the red carpets of cartoon premieres for the front row of Paris Fashion Week. Accompanied by her mother, Jada Pinkett Smith, she established connections with fashion, extending a welcoming hand to leading designers and photographers in the industry, who vied with each other to invite the girl to collaborate. Covers of Teen Vogue, i-D, W Magazine and CR-Fashion Book - Willow went through all the “obligatory” stages of an aspiring model, which the Hadid sisters, as well as Kaia and Presley Gerber, passed around the same time. True, unlike them, Smith does not have an ideal appearance and is generally far from generally accepted standards of beauty. This makes her success with the Marc Jacobs and Chanel brands more interesting, which made Willow the face of their campaigns.

“I know a lot of girls who look like me and feel ugly. “I want to convince them,” the young model shared in an interview. – Be confident in your own abilities, love yourself, and then the circumstances around you will begin to change! After all, you must admit, it’s not every day that a dark-skinned girl with dreadlocks becomes a Chanel ambassador.”

Self-love and bright personality are not the only things that led Willow to contracts with the world's largest brands. Among other things, the girl has an eccentric style that she confidently brings to the masses. She loves combining incongruous things, experimenting with eclecticism and going against current trends, which is what her brother Jayden does. A guy who seriously raps, skateboards, and even makes his own fashion brand, MSFTS, sometimes walks around in miniskirts, arguing that he doesn’t see the difference between men’s and women’s clothing.

Blurring gender boundaries is very close to the heart of designer Nicolas Ghesquière, who photographed Smith for Louis Vuitton's women's collection in January of this year. In one of the campaign series, taken by photographer Bruce Weber, the teenager appeared surrounded by three models, each of whom, like Jaden, was wearing an asymmetrical or leather skirt. A loud performance within the cult French house paved the way for the boy to be featured on the glossy covers of men's Numero and GQ Style, which also revealed his father's charisma in him. Now he is “bumping fists” with Alessandro Michele and Olivier Rousteing, who give Jaden the best samples from their shows.

In the wake of the popularity of this charming couple, today, September 1, the site went through the wardrobe and style of Willow and Jaden Smith and once again became convinced of how unique and original it all is.

Fresh, advertising contracts with Louis Vuitton and Chanel, a successful music career... 15-year-old Willow and 18-year-old Jaden Smith are worthy children of their star parents. They, of course, adopted talent, musicality and non-trivial taste from their successful parents.

Willow Smith

After becoming the face of a Chanel advertising campaign in 2016, little Willow began to often “walk” luxurious designer toilets. On the red carpet, the girl shines in tweed suits and Chanel dresses, feminine overalls and strict classic jackets, which she skillfully dilutes with multi-layered shiny chains and bracelets. A “restless” hairstyle in the form of sultry African braids or dreadlocks is a must-have addition.

Jaden Smith

This boy does not disdain women's wardrobe and.... often appears in skirts, both on the street and at social events. And we would have been suspicious of this if it weren’t for Jaden’s self-confidence. He so organically mixes skirts with trousers, designer leather jackets with picturesque prints and embroideries, voluminous T-shirts, as if borrowed from the wardrobe of his father Will, that we have no doubt - all this is very stylish and wildly cool. And this cute “palm” on his head... Urgently tell us the name of his stylist!

Excerpt characterizing Smith, Willow

Svetodar got excited. His young mind rebelled against the influence of others on his own destiny. According to the law of youth, he wanted to decide for himself, not allowing someone from the outside to influence his valuable life. Radan only smiled sadly, watching his courageous pet... Svetodar had enough of everything - strength, intelligence, endurance and perseverance. He wanted to live his life honestly and openly... only, unfortunately, he did not yet understand that there could be no open war with those who were hunting him. Simply because they were the ones who had neither honor, nor conscience, nor heart...
- Well, in your own way you are right, my boy... This is your life. And no one can live it except you... I am sure you will live it with dignity. Just be careful, Svetodar - the blood of your father flows in you, and our enemies will never give up to destroy you. Take care of yourself, my dear.
Patting his nephew on the shoulder, Radan sadly stepped aside and disappeared behind a ledge of a stone rock. A second later, a scream and heavy scuffling were heard. Something fell heavily to the ground and there was silence... Svetodar rushed towards the sound, but it was too late. On the stone floor of the cave, two bodies lay clutched in a final embrace, one of which was a man unfamiliar to him, dressed in a cloak with a red cross, the second was... Radan. With a piercing cry, Svetodar rushed to his uncle’s body, which lay completely motionless, as if life had already left him, without even allowing him to say goodbye. But, as it turned out, Radan was still breathing.
- Uncle, please don’t leave me!.. Not you... I beg you, don’t leave me, uncle!
Svetodar bewilderedly squeezed him in his strong manly embrace, gently rocking him like a small child. Just as Radan once rocked him so many times... It was clear that life was leaving Radan, drop by drop flowing from his weakened body like a golden stream... And even now, knowing that he was dying, he was only worried about one thing - how to save Svetodar... How to explain to him in these remaining few seconds what he was never able to convey in all his long twenty-five years?.. And how will he tell Maria and Radomir, there, in that other one, an unfamiliar world, that he could not save himself, that their son was now left completely alone?..

Radan's Dagger

– Listen, son... This man is not a Knight Templar. – Radan said hoarsely, pointing to the dead man. - I know them all - he is a stranger... Tell this to Gundomer... He will help... Find them... or they will find you. And best of all, go away, Svetodarushka... Go to the Gods. They will protect you. This place is filled with our blood... there is too much of it here... go away, dear...
Slowly, Radan's eyes closed. A knight's dagger fell to the ground with a ringing sound from the loosened, powerless hand. It was very unusual... Svetodar took a closer look - this simply could not be!.. Such a weapon belonged to a very narrow circle of knights, only those who once personally knew John - at the end of the handle there was a gilded crowned head...
Svetodar knew for sure that Radan had not had this blade for a long time (it had once remained in the body of his enemy). So today, in self-defense, he grabbed the killer’s weapon?.. But how could it fall into the wrong hands?! Could any of the Temple knights he knew betray the cause for which they all lived?! Svetodar did not believe in this. He knew these people as he knew himself. None of them could have committed such base vileness. They could only be killed, but it was impossible to force them to betray. In this case, who was the person who owned this special dagger?!
Radan lay motionless and calm. All earthly worries and bitterness left him forever... Hardened over the years, his face smoothed out, again resembling that joyful young Radan, whom Golden Maria loved so much, and whom his dead brother, Radomir, adored with all his soul... He again seemed happy and bright , as if there was no terrible misfortune nearby, as if everything was joyful and calm again in his soul...
Svetodar stood on his knees without saying a word. His dead body only quietly swayed from side to side, as if helping himself to withstand, to survive this heartless, vile blow... Here, in the same cave, eight years ago Magdalena passed away... And now he was saying goodbye to his last loved one , remaining truly all alone. Radan was right - this place absorbed too much of their family blood... It was not for nothing that even the streams turned crimson... as if wanting to tell him to leave... And never come back.
I was shaking with some strange fever... It was scary! This was completely unacceptable and incomprehensible - after all, we were called people!!! And there must be somewhere a limit to human meanness and betrayal?
- How could you live with this for so long, Sever? All these years, knowing this, how did you manage to remain so calm?!
He just smiled sadly, without answering my question. And I, sincerely amazed at the courage and perseverance of this wonderful man, discovered for myself a completely new side of his selfless and hard life... his unyielding and pure soul...
– Several more years have passed since Radan’s murder. Svetodar avenged his death by finding the killer. As he suspected, it was not one of the Knights Templar. But they never knew who the man sent to them really was. Only one thing became known - before killing Radan, he just as vilely destroyed the magnificent, bright Knight who had been with them from the very beginning. He destroyed him only in order to take possession of his cloak and weapons, and to create the impression that Radan was killed by his own...
