Jada Pinkett Smith and Jaden Smith had some mother-son bonding time while on a trip to South Korea to attend the Louis Vuitton 2023 pre-fall fashion show Friday, April 28. The luxury brand revealed its latest collection on the Jamsugyo Bridge at the Hangand River in Seoul, reports Daily Mail.

The duo wore coordinating black ensembles. Pinkett Smith donned a long leather jacket and high-heeled lace-up boots, and accessorized with a brown Louis Vuitton belt and oversized clutch. Smith – who is known for his unique fashions – towered over his mother in an oversized blazer and pants.

The appearance marks Pinkett Smith’s first since the canceling of her award-winning Facebook Watch series, “Red Table Talk.” The cancellation of the popular series – which featured Pinkett Smith, daughter Willow, and mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris as the show’s co-hosts – was a byproduct of Meta shutting down all of its Facebook Watch original programming.

The series was known for having well-known guests engaging in vulnerable conversations with the hosts. Guests included Sandra Bullock, Jordyn Woods, Demi Moore, and Will Smith. Despite the surprise cancellation, the “Red Table Talk” team is hopeful the show will be picked up elsewhere.

“We are so grateful to have had such a beautiful partnership with Facebook Watch and we are sorry to see the entire team disband,” read a statement posted to the show’s Instagram. “We wish everyone well in their new journeys to come. We at Red Table are in talks of finding a new home and we’ll see you soon.”
