Will and Jada Smith's daughter Willow Smith refuses to let her clothes define who she is.
Willow, 15, known for her eclectic style and was recently named an ambassador for high fashion brand Chanel, said it is more important to embrace your true self, reported Contactmusic.
"I have some cool shoes on, and I wear crazy eyeliner, but it's really all about emulating the colors you feel inside.
"A lot of clothes are cute, but after you buy the Yeezy shoes, after you get your hair done with a weave, you're still the same person. I feel like more and more kids are starting to realise this," she said.
Willow reveals she went through a bit of an identity crisis in 2011 and had to step back to figure out who she was.
"After Whip My Hair and all the publicity, after going on tour in the UK, after saying no to the Annie film, and I had to sit down and say, 'Who are you? On a real note. Are you this or this?'," she said.
