I have to say that when I first caught wind of little Willow Smith's futuristic style, I was a little taken aback. At the tender age of nine, her parents Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith have allowed her a great deal of freedom of self expression that a lot of little girls her age don't enjoy.
How many of us can say that our parents would have allowed us to shave half of our heads just to make a fashion statement? I couldn't even choose my own nail polish color at that age...red was out of the question!!
That stated, I think that something must be said for this little fashionista's bold approach to personal style. During a recent appearance on the Oprah show, Willow was asked to share her feelings on some of the harsh criticism she receives and she made it clear that she was unphased by it, good or bad.
At an age when most kids are trying to fit in, she surely stands out when she step out in bold colors and edgy styles. I do think that she is a little young for make up but she finds a way to wear a little while maintaining a fun childlike spirit which is important for all of the nine year old girls out there to see.
In a world of celebrity worship little Willow wants everyone to focus on being themselves. Her hit single "Whip my hair" is a song about letting go and owning your unique nature and this is a message that all young people can relate to.
With her good looks and Hollywood royal roots, I truly believe that Willow Smith is bound to be a pop star and I am excited to see how her free spirit evolves.
