Jaden Smith Showed Up to the Met Gala Carrying His Old Dreadlocks

Jaden Smith has never been shy about making a statement with his look. This week, he arrived at the 2017 Met Gala, with a handful of dreadlocks... no seriously.

The actor/musician recently chopped off his blonde dreadlocks for a more manicured look. Apparently, he saved them and when he showed up to the event on Monday night (May 1), he rocked an all-black look and brought his old hair with him.

Smith strolled the red carpet, while clutching his blonde locks, making for one of the most talked-about moments of the evening.

Vogue caught up with him and asked him what the hell he was doing. "Since I couldn't bring my sister as a date, I brought my old hair," he said.
