She's only 11 years old, but Willow Smith looked like quite the little lady at Saturday's BET Honors event in Washington. Willow would have fit in at the Golden Globes in her romantic floor-length yellow gown, tied at the waist. And it also would have been hard for her to "whip her hair" in this glamorous updo.
Willow -- the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith -- is best known for her hit debut single "Whip My Hair." She's currently promoting her song "Fireball" featuring Nicki Minaj, and she'll release her self-titled, debut album on April 3 (the album will include "Fireball"). She'll also play Annie in this year's remake of "Annie."
Willow Smith is known for her quirky style, but her yellow dress actually suited the event honoring Stevie Wonder, Maya Angelou, Spike Lee and Mariah Carey. Michelle Obama was also in attendance, along with Aretha Franklin. However, Willow showed a hint of her signature style by wearing a ton of colorful bracelets for her presenting gig.
The spunky tween has come a long way since her film debut in 2007's "I Am Legend," but is she growing up too fast? What do you think of her yellow dress?

+22Here goes my opinion: By "too grown up" I do NOT mean that the dress is too sexy or its trying to attract pedophiles or whetever. The girl is 11 years old. Yeah, she is at an event where people dress up. The girl's entire career and attitude is "too grown up", right along with her outfit. I feel sorry for her. She needs to be a normal kid and enjoy it while she can. Her parents should be ashamed of themselves for throwing her into a very adult, cut-throat industry. I'm sure her grades are good and I bet she has plenty of friends. I just think she should act like a kid and dress like a kid. That's all.
She doesn't look sexualised, so I find it's completely appropriate.
That being said, my comment only applies to the dress and whether or not it was too grown up for her. I'm not sure how I feel about her having a career of her own at such a young age (part of me feels that if it's her choice, it's okay, but part of me feels she's too young to know what she wants to do).
Yes, I do understand that girls were married and having children in their early teenage years in the past, BUT, they were adults in every other sense of the word, too. Now kids are KIDS until they're at LEAST 18 in most cases, which is good for a lot of reasons, but dangerous, too. They're still allowed to dress and act sexually mature, but they're not ready for it since we still treat them like children in so many other areas that they lack the responsibility or understanding that comes with being sexually mature... the parts are there and working, but the mind is no longer at the same level. Allowing them to dress and act like sexually mature adults is dangerous simply because they're not emotionally mature. I admire that her parents allow her to feel grown up and elegant rather than "sexy".
