In a surprise twist, Jaden Smith is taking on a new role at Christian Louboutin!

The brand just announced that the actor, musician, and fashion designer has been named its new men’s creative director, which was shared in a press launch today. Smith’s appointment stems from a chance encounter with Louboutin in 2019,  who was inspired by his fearless style snd respect for high craftsmanship. The moment marks Louboutin’s first instance of having a new creative director outside of Mr. Louboutin himself, and also follows Smith’s recent fashion projects—including the release of collections for his own MSFTSrep brand. It also makes Smith the second American at the helm of a French brand, following Pharrell’s viral appointment as Louis Vuitton’s creative director in 2024. With a track record for boundary-pushing, colorful outfits, Smith is sure to bring added flair to the position as he crafts four men’s shoes, accessories, and leather goods collections each year. Fashion insiders are responding to the news today with mixed reactions.  Anonymous Instagram account Boringnotcom called the move “straight out embarrassing.” Users on X are giving the move a mixed response.
