Grammys 2025: Meaning Behind Jaden Smith's "Vampire Castle" Hat Explained
For Jaden Smith, home is where the art is.
The 26-year-old son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith caused some nosy neighbors to wonder about his look when he walked the red carpet of the 2025 Grammy Awards Feb. 2.
For the event, which was also attended by his dad and sister Willow Smith, Jaden rocked a custom black Louis Vuitton suit, a white button down and black tie. But the most notable part of his ensemble was the all-black, custom-made vampire house headpiece made by ABODI Transylvania in collaboration with artist Szilveszter Makó that covered most of his head and face, an art piece the brand has since shed some light on.
“The whole process of creating the headpiece was a fantastic experience, from sketching to testing and realisation,” the company wrote in a Feb. 2 Instagram of the look. “The artistic headpiece combines the mysterious elegance of ABODI Transylvania with a bold, modern design inspired by Transylvanian history and the vampire legends of the Bathori.”
The company’s founder Dora Abodi—who uses Transylvania’s legends and folklore as inspiration to honor her family’s deep history with the country, according to the company’s website—also shared her thoughts on the buzzy look.
“The fields of fashion and music are intended for enjoyment and the pursuit of creativity, allowing individuals to express themselves freely and experience life and art to the fullest,” Dora shared in a statement on the company’s Instagram Feb. 2. “The now famous ABODI Transylvania Vampire Castle serves as a symbol of audacity, fortitude, and an embrace of folklore and legends.”

As for how Jaden came to the unique choice in outfit music’s biggest night? He leaned into his authenticity.
"I went through a lot of my life trying to be normal," he told Complex in October. "It was a really big deal for me for a long time that people thought that I was normal. And that bothered me after a while. I started to feel like people didn't really understand me or see me.”
He added, “So I actively try to be myself."
