On Thursday, June 25, Smith shared updates on his Instagram account, revealing snippets from the family’s trip to Paris for the Menswear Spring/Summer 2027 show. Will, a respected figure in the entertainment industry, marked the occasion with enthusiasm, stating, “Makin’ me a proud dad!” alongside images featuring his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, their daughter Willow, Will’s son Trey from a previous marriage, and Jada’s mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris.
Jaden, who is 27, was appointed as Christian Louboutin’s men’s creative director last September, a role that allows him to influence the design direction of men’s footwear, leather goods, and accessories. In his excitement, Will noted the standout pieces from Jaden’s collection, exclaiming, “WOW @c.syresmith this @christianlouboutin collection is insane🔥.”
In one post, Will shared a video capturing his family’s presence at the show while referencing a distinctive red sculpture of a foot designed by Jaden that greeted attendees at the venue. He showcased his father’s pride, saying, “Proud daddy moment. Full proud daddy moment,” while taking in the impressive decor that included a striking recreation of Stonehenge.
The family’s appearance was well-coordinated and stylish. Will and Trey opted for matching white t-shirts, dapper black suits, and sunglasses, while Jada made a fashion statement in a black ruffled skirt and bandeau top, highlighted by a dramatic gold collar. Willow embraced an all-black ensemble with a shorter skirt and a spaghetti-strap top, complemented by her grandmother’s shiny gold attire. Jaden’s ensemble was particularly eye-catching, featuring bold red attire with sporty elements, including shoulder pads and eye-catching accessories.
Their presence at Paris Fashion Week came as a rare public outing for Will and Jada, who have long prioritised their family life alongside their successful careers. Sources revealed to PEOPLE that their commitment to supporting Jaden is a testament to their strong relationship. “Their family and family time are the most important things to both of them,” the insider noted, emphasising their mutual affection and ongoing support for their children.
Following Jaden’s appointment as Louboutin’s creative director, a press release outlined his responsibilities, which include overseeing four annual collections alongside input into the brand’s marketing and identity. Significantly, Jaden already has a six-year rapport with Louboutin, establishing a natural synergy between the two.
Louboutin himself spoke positively about Jaden, praising his creativity and unique perspective. “When I first met Jaden, I saw in him a natural fit for the Maison,” he remarked. Jaden echoed this sentiment, sharing the perspective that both he and Louboutin share a vision that blends respect for creative freedom with innovative storytelling.
As Jaden steps into this prominent role within the fashion industry, he aims to honour the brand’s legacy while infusing it with his own artistic vision. His journey reflects not only his personal ambitions but also the unwavering support of his family, underscoring the importance of family ties in artistic pursuits. Will Smith’s heartfelt displays of pride resonate with many, showcasing how supportive familial relationships can contribute to success in creative fields.
