Jaden Smith is dominating the prom fashion scene this season -- first in superhero gear, and most recently in a dress!

The 16-year-old son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith wore a full-length black and white frock over pants, a black blazer and white brass-knuckle-esque gloves to escort actress Amandla Stenberg (who played Rue in "The Hunger Games") to her prom on Saturday.

Stenberg posted some pics and poses from the pair's prom night on Instagram and Twitter -- "here's to high school," she wrote.

This is not the first time Smith has been known to reach across the gender aisle for unique fashion choices, stepping out in Los Angeles in April wearing a women's black dress over denim shorts, and tweeting (on his now defunct account) that he had been shopping at Top Shop "to buy some girl clothes, I mean 'clothes.'"

In another of his bold fashion statements, Smith had donned a white Batman suit to his prom on May 18, a getup he has also been seen wearing at Comic Con and at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding reception.

The rapper-actor has also included his gender-neutral aesthetic into his own fashion MSFTREP, with hoodies and tunics to be worn by either sex.
