Jaden Smith Explains Why He Wore A Batsuit To Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s Wedding [WATCH + PHOTOS]

Jaden Smith wore a Batsuit to prom this year. However, that wasn't the first time he actually wore it to an event. Back in May 2014, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got married in Florence, Italy.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith's son was one of the attendees for the ceremony and donned a white Batsuit at the lavish wedding. "My style icons are Batman, Robin, Nightwing, Superman and Kanye West," says the 16-year-old.

"I wore the Batman suit to heighten my experience at the wedding and prom which was fun, but also at the wedding I felt as though I needed to protect everyone there and needed to have the proper gear to do so," the "albino batman" explained.

A very eccentric reason perhaps, but the "After Earth" actor explains his outfit choices. "I'm just expressing how I feel inside," Jaden said.

"Which is really no particular way because everyday it changes how I feel about the world and myself. I like wearing super drapey things so I can feel as though I'm a superhero, but don't have to necessarily wear the super hero costumes everyday," he continued.

Jaden recalls how he always dressed differently and uniquely from his friends and fellow teenagers. "I remember these duck boots. They were just duck bots, but I would wear the normal Batman suit or my Spider-Man suit with them and never take them off," Smith told GQ of the first look he put together himself.

Jaden Smith is one of GQ's "20 Most Stylish Men Alive." Will Smith's son runs alongside Kanye West, Mario Balotelli, David Beckham, Bradley Cooper, Daniel Craig, Jeff Goldblum, Ryan Gosling, LeBron James, Jay-Z, Jared Leto, John Mayer, Brad Pitt, Eddie Redmayne, A$AP Rocky, Christiano Ronaldo, Mark Ronson, Harry Styles of One Direction, Russell Westbrook, and Pharrell Williams for the title.
