Jaden Smith's infamous "house hat" has swung open its doors to public acclaim. His mother, Jada Pinkett Smith, was absolutely smitten by the distinctive headpiece, which the 26-year-old donned alongside a sleek black Louis Vuitton suit at the 2025 Grammys. On February 2nd, Jada, a veteran of Red Table Talk, posted a picture of Jaden and his 24-year-old sister Willow, both dressed in coordinating raven-hued attire, captioning it with an exclamatory "!Period!" on Instagram.
Many of Jada's friends readily concurred, with Lena Waithe commenting, "They won. OKAY!" Meanwhile, Chrissy Teigen hailed Jaden and Willow as an "inspiration," writing to Jada, who shares them with Will Smith, "You both have the most incredible kids. It's just so cool to see."
However, Jaden's castle hat also puzzled some fans. One Instagram user remarked, "Sorry, the house thing is just dumb," while another inquired, "What's the house for? Serious question."
So, what lies behind the tale of Jaden's hat? Crafted by ABODI Transylvania in collaboration with artist Szilveszter Makó, this colossal creation—fashioned like a multi-story building complete with towering spires and panoramic windows—is described by the fashion label as a "bold, modern design inspired by Transylvanian history and the vampire legends of the Bathori."
Praising Jaden for bringing this artwork to life, the designer termed him "brave and bold," adding that the headwear "fosters the establishment of creative partnerships and nurtures individuals who serve as beacons of inspiration and motivation."
For more eye-catching fashion moments from the 2025 Grammys, stay tuned.
"The now-renowned ABODI Transylvania Vampire Castle stands as a symbol of audacity, fortitude, and an embrace of folklore and legends," continued the brand's founder, Dora Abodi, in an Instagram post on February 2nd. "It operates as a conduit to evoke one's childhood and to preserve a sense of playfulness and boundless creativity in relation to shapes, fabrics, concepts, colors, textures, fashion, and art."
Lauding Jaden once more for embodying the spirit of the hat, the designer emphasized that the headwear "catalyzes the formation of innovative collaborations and cultivates individuals who inspire and motivate others."
