Jaden Smith became an unlikely spokesperson for gender variance
last week after he defended his choice to wear skirts dresses on social media.
While the actor and rapper received some anti-gay remarks, the
response to his gender-neutral fashion sense was overwhelmingly positive with
thousands of liking and sharing his posts.
The 16-year-old son of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith on 8 April
uploaded a photo of of him trying on a black-and-white striped dress on
Instagram.
'Went to TopShop to Buy Some Girl Clothes, I Mean
"Clothes,"' he wrote.
The next day, he tweeted, 'That Moment When Your Wearing a Dress
With No Pants and You Swerve Way Too Hard.'
PopSugar noted that while the young actor had been spotted in
tunics and dress-like styles before, his commentary was a 'refreshing new
twist.'
'It's inspiring to see the young style setting challenging gender
norms and wearing exaclty what makes him comfortable.'
YouTube sensation Chris Crocker thanked Smith 'for being an
inspiration to youth by not abiding by society's expectations.'
'PS love the dress!' he tweeted.
'Isn't it crazy that women wear pants every day, but when a guy
wears a dress it's breaking news!' tweeted another fan.
