Willow Smith, 12, acts her age in cute yellow and orange jumpsuit as she hits the mall with a friend

She's known for her inappropriate fashion sense but this time she hit the right mark.
Willow Smith was the picture of pre-teen spirit as she set out for an afternoon of shopping at The Grove in Los Angeles on Friday with a gal pal.
Will and Jada Smith's 12-year-old daughter was unusually festive in a yellow and bright orange short jumpsuit that showed off her skinny legs and yellow socks and black high-top trainers.

She even ditched the grey-white highlights in favour of her natural raven-black hair with some pretty green, pink and yellow low lights.

Willow wore her hair in twin pigtails and shielded her eyes behind dark shades as she strolled around the popular outdoor retail centre with her friend.

Perhaps she'd felt the sting of criticism last week when she wore a T-shirt advertising the 1974 film Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which some deemed too mature for the young star.

As most horror movie buffs know, the Tobe Hooper-directed flick gruesomely depicts the slaying of a group of hitchhiking friends by a cannibalistic family.

At the time of its release, it was banned in several countries and many theatres stopped showing it due to complaints of its bloody violent nature.

When she's not offending the masses, Willow is often raising eyebrows with her eccentric get-ups.

Back in February, the youngest of the Smith progeny was seen wearing a bulky sweater coat paired with unlaced military boots, leggings, flannel shirt and a wild-patterned headband.

Willow sings about a very grown-up affair in her new track Summer Fling, which fans have branded 'inappropriate.'

'It's just a couple months but we do it anyway,' Willow sings.

The lyrics continue: 'Don't really care what we do tonight. Good night kisses if the mood is right, laying by the beach with you wishing this will never end.'

Adopting a strange British accent she says: 'Thanks for the summer fling. It was nice.'

Her parents Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith are the first to admit they have a strong-willed daughter on their hands, along with her older brother Jaden, 15.

Will, who also has a son Trey from a previous marriage, told People last year: 'Having two boys and a girl, I realise that boys take trouble to other people's houses, and girls bring it home.

'So, the thing we are struggling with is the rules and setting fair rules for the boys and for Willow, but she's not having any of that.'
