Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, Trey Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris turned up at the Palais Brongniart on Wednesday for Christian Louboutin’s men’s spring 2027 presentation, and the family was there for one reason: Jaden Smith. He showed his sophomore collection as Christian Louboutin’s first men’s creative director, putting his work at the center of a room that also became a family show of support.
The attendance mattered because this was not just a fashion stop for the Smiths. It was a public moment around Jaden’s role, with the family gathered as he presented the next step in his work for the brand. The setting in Paris gave the event scale, but the focus was squarely on him.
What the family wore fit that message without competing with it. Jada Pinkett Smith chose shoes from Christian Louboutin’s 20th Anniversary Collection, which was released in 2012, wearing the Bow Bow sandals in black grosgrain and PVC. Will Smith wore Christian Louboutin Cocoriclou shoes, a black leather style marked by the red sole and metal spike embellishments along the sole.
That detail matters because it shows the night was tied to the brand as much as to the family. Jada’s shoes reached back to a milestone collection, while Will’s Cocoriclou pair kept the look anchored in the house’s signature design language. The presentation was billed around Jaden’s collection, but the footwear turned the appearance into a neatly coordinated endorsement of his work.
What remains open is the collection itself. Jaden’s sophomore outing as men’s creative director was the center of the presentation, but the public record from the event does not spell out the full contents of what he sent down the runway. For now, the clearest takeaway is simpler: at one of Christian Louboutin’s key men’s shows, the Smith family showed up together and made the night about him.
