Willow Smith on the May 2016 Teen Vogue cover is absolutely breath taking! It doesn’t come as much of a surprise considering she’s the offspring of power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith. The spread was shot by Aussie fashion photographer, Emma Summerton. On set Willow gushed, “This is so cool. I’ve never been shot by woman before – not for anything this major.”
It’s Willow’s world and we’re just living in it. At just 15 years of age, many adults struggle to get on her level due to her lack of conformity and pushing of boundaries. In the interview she also talks about her brother Jaden whom most of us unleash our inner-cougar for. “We’re like binary stars, like two parts of one thing. I know what he’s thinking at all times. And he knows what I’m thinking. We’re not identical twins but it feels like that in a lot of ways.”
Considering she was born into Hollywood, even she is still shocked that Chanel took her under their wing. “Being a young African-American woman with dreads, it blows my mind that I’m a Chanel ambassador. Like, how am I a Chanel ambassador?”
We totally get why Chanel would want you Willow! You’ve been blessed with genes from the gods, you don’t let society pressure you into being someone you’re not and you manage to remain humble every step of the way.
Wise words from Willow, “I realised it isn’t about finding yourself – it’s about creating yourself.”
