Willow Smith stepped into the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2, 2025, ready for an unforgettable night at the Grammy Awards. The 24-year-old, accompanied by her brother Jaden Smith, was there to support their father, Will Smith, who was presenting a tribute at the ceremony.
But while the night was meant to celebrate music’s biggest stars, it was Willow’s bold fashion choice—and more specifically, her teeth—that had fans talking.
The singer made sure all eyes were on her as she rocked an eye-catching outfit. She wore a stunning black crystal-studded bra with matching hot pants designed by Fleur du Mal, adding a touch of elegance with a long, tailored black coat from McQueen’s Autumn/Winter 2024 collection.
The coat featured intricate t-bar chain details, adding an edgy flair to her look. Her voluminous curls cascaded over her shoulders, completing the dramatic effect. For footwear, she chose dazzling crystal-strap platform sandals and adorned her fingers with a selection of stylish rings.
However, it wasn’t just her outfit that got people talking—it was what she had on her teeth. Among her metallic grills, one tooth stood out in particular: a striking green grill covering her front tooth.
Fans were left confused and intrigued, with many zooming in on photos, trying to figure out what was going on with her smile.
Meanwhile, Jaden kept his look classic yet daring. He wore a sleek black tuxedo by Louis Vuitton, but it was his accessory that truly stole the show—a massive black headpiece designed by Abodi.
The sculptural headpiece, shaped like a Gothic Transylvanian castle, had a hole in the center for his face, making it one of the most talked-about red carpet moments of the night. Fans had mixed reactions to both siblings’ bold looks, but most of the chatter focused on Willow’s unusual tooth accessory.
Social media exploded with reactions. One fan commented, “What’s on her tooth?” Another, seemingly baffled, wrote, “What is up with her teeth??? Like she can’t afford a good dentist. 🤯😂” Some were more direct in their opinions. “She needs to have her teeth fixed,” one person declared.
Others poked fun at the green grill, comparing it to food stuck in her teeth. “The grills make it look like she has spinach stuck in her teeth. These are such weird looks. No thanks,” one person wrote. Another admitted, “I find her teeth much more unsettling and unpleasant to look at than Jaden’s house face, tbh.”
Not everyone was critical, though. Some appreciated Willow’s fashion-forward choices. One fan gushed, “Willow is stunning and very creative 💞.” Another simply said, “Absolutely gorgeous ❤️.”
Despite the online debate, Willow was all smiles at the event. She had every reason to celebrate—she was nominated for two major Grammy categories: Best Arrangement, Instruments, and Vocals for her song “Big Feelings,” and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for “Empathogen.”
Speaking about the nominations, Willow couldn’t contain her excitement. “This is all I have ever wanted,” she said in an interview.
Her joy over the nominations had been evident since November 2024, when she first shared the news on Instagram. She posted an emotional message thanking her team for their support, writing, “!!!
I AM HAVING BIGFEEELINGS !!! 🥲🧕⛺️🥹🤯🎶😱💚💾🧪🪣🎺🤓🧢 ‼️BIG GRATITUDE TO THESE DIVINE DUDES FOR NURTURING MY VISION WITH LOVE ‼️[sic].”
While Willow and Jaden were at the Grammys to support each other and celebrate her nominations, they were also there for their father. Will Smith took the stage to present a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Quincy Jones, a music icon and 28-time Grammy winner.
The siblings watched proudly from the audience, continuing the legacy of their creative and talented family.
Willow and Jaden have always been known for their fearless self-expression, something they credit to their upbringing. “We never shy away from expressing our artistic visions,” Willow once shared. “We just hope that in doing so, we bring light and togetherness in moments where darkness seems to be taking over.”
That creative vision was on full display at the Grammys. Jaden’s dramatic headpiece, known as the “Vampire Castle,” had its own story. The designer, Abodi, later revealed on Instagram that the piece was custom-made specifically for Jaden’s red carpet moment.
“We designed the castle for his Grammy appearance, blending the mysterious elegance of ABODI Transylvania with a bold, modern aesthetic inspired by Transylvanian history and the vampire legends of the Bathory,” the designer wrote.
Both siblings, despite their famous parents, are making names for themselves in the entertainment world. Jaden, as a rapper and actor, and Willow, as a singer and dancer, continue to carve out their own paths, proving they are more than just the children of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.
The 2025 Grammy Awards may have sparked debate about their fashion choices, but one thing was clear: Willow and Jaden Smith are unapologetically themselves, and they’re here to stay.
