Willow Smith Elegance by Inez and Vinoodh for Vogue France December 2016

Vogue France [then Vogue Paris] shared these super sophisticated images of Willow Smith in their December 2016 issue.

Photographers Inez and Vinoodh captured ‘Miss Smith’, styled by Aleksandra Woroniecka, in luxury fashion and jewels as only the French can do with chic results.

Willow Smith was age 16 in these Vogue France images. The daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith was very much an emerging artist in her own right. When Willow signed with Jay-Z’s record label Roc Nation, she was only nine years old — making her the youngest member of Jay-Z’s tribe.

Yesterday [January 9, 2025], AOC featured Willow Smith, eight years later, now an ambassador for Dior Beauty. Smith appears in a new campaign for Dior Addict Lip Glow. Okay, that’s standard fare.

What isn’t typically on the beauty menu is AOC’s add of the uber-talent’s video about the making of ‘Big Feelings’ with Chris Greatti. Willow Smith’s collaborator on ‘Empathogen’, her first album post-Roc Nation, is Greatti. Take a listen on Dior Addict link.
