It’s hard to forget the infamous Oscars slap, when Will Smith struck Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. Yet, it seems Ricky Gervais missed the memo, as he recently took a bold jab at both Jaden Smith and his mother, Jada. Many are now speculating whether Gervais might face a similar fate to Chris Rock after his controversial comment.
The 2025 Grammy Awards red carpet was a spectacle of bold fashion statements, but two looks, in particular, stole the spotlight. One was Bianca Censori’s nearly nude dress, and the other was Jaden Smith’s unconventional headpiece.
The 26-year-old Jaden Smith stepped onto the red carpet wearing a sleek black Louis Vuitton suit, but it was the $4,700 castle-shaped hat perched on his head that truly turned heads. Designed by Abodi Transylvania, the headpiece was reportedly inspired by Transylvanian history and the vampire legends of the Bathory family. The designers described it as a symbol of eternity, resilience, and sensuality. However, social media users had a different take.
One user on X shared a photo of Jaden with the caption: "And they say famous people are just attention seekers…” The post sparked a flurry of reactions, but it was Ricky Gervais’s quip about Jada Pinkett Smith that truly ignited the conversation. The 63-year-old comedian quipped, "Maybe he’s bald like his mum.”
The joke quickly went viral, reigniting memories of the 2022 Oscars incident, where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada’s shaved head. Three years later, Jaden Smith stood alongside his father at the Grammys, marking Will’s first appearance at an awards show since the infamous slap.
The comment section was flooded with mixed opinions. One user warned Gervais, "You’re going to get a slap from big Will.” Gervais, never one to back down, replied, "Can’t wait.” Others took a more humorous approach, with one person commenting, "Jaden Smith is a 26-year-old man, and this is what he wore to the Grammys tonight. Stop calling it art—stupidity must be mocked.”
Meanwhile, debates raged over whether Jaden’s outfit or Bianca Censori’s barely-there dress was more outrageous. The 29-year-old’s sheer, see-through gown sparked widespread criticism on social media, with some even calling for her arrest on grounds of public indecency.
The 2025 Grammys red carpet proved once again that fashion and controversy go hand in hand, leaving everyone talking long after the awards were handed out.
