The latest Louis Vuitton ad campaign features an unlikely cast of characters, real and imagined. Following in the footsteps of Nicolas Ghesquière‘s Spring 2016 pink-haired cyber punks, one ad has no models at all, rather “Final Fantasy” heroine Lightning. Another photograph introduces South Korean actress, model, and photographer Doona Bae, and finally, the cherry on top is 17-year-old rapper and actor Jaden Smith alongside three models. Did we mention he’s wearing a skirt. Meet Jaden’s four co-stars below.

Doona Bae Handle: @donnabae Followers: 120K Big Break: She was scouted by a model talent agency while walking around in Seoul. Fun Fact: She played a real-life inflatable sex doll in Hirokazu Koreeda’s Air Doll (2009).
