In what can only be described as an avant-garde mix of high fashion and a Home Depot clearance sale, Jaden Smith shocked attendees at the 2025 Grammy Awards by arriving on the red carpet with a full-sized cardboard house on his head.
The 26-year-old actor, rapper, and part-time philosopher strutted into the event with what appeared to be a Black Cardboard house, complete with hand-drawn windows, a chimney, in the style of something straight out of the Adams Family.
“This isn’t just a statement piece,” Jaden told reporters while adjusting the house to avoid knocking over Billie Eilish. “This is the future of affordable housing. The system wants us to believe that shelter has to be expensive, but I say—why not wear your home?”
The cardboard domicile, which some have described as “post-modern” and others as “an Amazon delivery left in the rain too long,” was reportedly handcrafted by Jaden himself using nothing but a butter knife and sheer determination. When asked if the structure was waterproof, he simply replied, “Water is a concept created by the mind.”
While some praised Jaden for his commitment to environmental sustainability, others questioned the practicality of wearing a house to a formal event. Sir Elton John, who had to sidestep the massive headpiece to reach his seat, was overheard muttering, “At least Lady Gaga’s meat dress didn’t block the entire aisle.”
Jaden’s latest stunt follows a long tradition of unconventional fashion choices, including his 2016 Batman suit at Kim and Kanye’s wedding and his 2022 “Invisible Clothes” campaign, which consisted entirely of Jaden not wearing anything at all.
Despite mixed reactions, industry experts are already predicting a rise in “wearable real estate.” Rumors suggest that Elon Musk has already pre-ordered a limited-edition Tesla Cardboard Home, featuring built-in WiFi and an optional SpaceX launch pad.
