Willow Smith’s Music Career Is So Much More Than “Whip My Hair”
Back in 2010, a young Willow Smith—daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett, and sister of Jaden—broke out with a smash single “Whip My Hair” that all but dominated the Internet for the better part of the year. But eight years later, Smith, now 17 years old, is a lot more than a years-old viral hit. This week, Smith headed to Paris for Paris Haute Couture, where she performed an intimate set at Dior’s Grand Bal Surréaliste masked ball, delighting guests like Alexa Chung and Bella Hadid. Also in Paris, Karen O returned to celebrate her new project with Kenzo, while Courtney Love performed an intimate set at a party for Menē. Meanwhile, back stateside, Yara Shahidi continued to her slow takeover of the world by toasting her new status as an Aerie spokeswoman. Here, take a look at the best parties of the week.
