Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith were proud parents in coordinating shoes when they touched down in Paris. The actors are in town for fashion week and to support their son, Jaden Smith, as he launched a capsule collection in his debut as Christian Louboutin‘s first men’s creative director.
For the outing, the Smiths leaned into some “Men in Black” method dressing, stepping out in head-to-toe black ensembles featuring black garments in a multitude of textures. The only pop of color on both of their outfits was the vibrant Louboutin signature red soles on their shoes, which added a playful contrast to their monochrome looks.

The “Girls’ Trip” star dipped into her rockstar persona for her shoes, and pulled out a pair of Christian Louboutin Clou Noeud Spikes pumps in black leather. The platform heels feature a slingback and peep-toe design with a large bow on the upper. The shoes feature silver spikes all over, adding some edge to the classic heel silhouette.
The tall stiletto heels measured nearly six inches, giving the actress a major boost in height. She paired the heels with black leather trousers that were tapered at the leg, with a loose-fitting black top, and an oversized, floor-length fur coat that trailed behind her as she walked. She accessorized with silver jewelry and black sunglasses, and stood out thanks to her signature platinum blond pixie cut.
The “King Richard” actor followed suit with black tweed trousers and a black overcoat. He paired the look with patent leather black lace-up shoes with a thick notched sole, which were a style from his son’s collection. The Oscar winner shared a video on Instagram from inside the event, showing off the designs and expressing his pride about his son’s achievement.
“I’ve got my son’s shoes on. We’re at Jaden’s Christian Louboutin show,” the actor said. “I’m very, very proud. It’s a little overwhelming. I’m a proud daddy.”
In September, Maison Christian Louboutin announced the appointment of Jaden as the luxury footwear brand’s first men’s creative director. In the role, he will oversee the creation of four collections annually across men’s shoes, leather goods, and accessories, and will also be involved in creating campaigns, events, and immersive experiences. The brand threw a party to celebrate his debut collection, which will be in stores in May.
