Jaden Smith’s Grammys ‘Castle Hat’ Explained
February 5, 2025 – On Feb 3, Jaden Smith graced the 2025 Grammys red carpet wearing a unique Castle-inspired headpiece.
Many celebrities dawned stylish, elegant, and daring outfits during the 2025 Grammy Awards. One look that stood out in the eyes of many was Jaden Smith’s ‘Castle Hat’.
The 26-year-old son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith dawned a black Louis Vuitton suit and tie together with a white button-down. However, Jaden Smith made waves with his all-black, vampiric castle headpiece designed by ABODI Transylvania and artist Szilveszter Makó.
Jaden Smith walked the red carpet together with his sister, Willow Smith. Willow, 24, also wore a striking ensemble: a dark, crystal-embellished bra and matching bottoms paired with a long black jacket.
Why did Jaden Smith Wear A Castle On His Head?
E! News revealed that Jaden Smith’s reason for his eccentric headpiece was to be more true to himself.
In an interview with Complex, he said: “It was a really big deal for me for a long time that people thought that I was normal. And that bothered me after a while. I started to feel like people didn’t really understand me or see me.” He added, “Sometimes it’s so frustrating to watch people try to follow the ‘normal’ thing to do when that’s not what they really want to do in their art and everything. It’s very frustrating.” Having come to this understanding, he said, “So I actively try to be myself.”
Wearing a ‘Castle Hat’ is a way for Jaden to step outside of the ‘normal’ and get closer to his authentic self.
This ideology aligns with an Instagram post by company ABODI Transylvania: “The now famous ABODI Transylvania Vampire Castle serves as a symbol of audacity, fortitude, and an embrace of folklore and legends.” They add, “The fields of fashion and music are intended for enjoyment and the pursuit of creativity, allowing individuals to express themselves freely and experience life and art to the fullest.”
