Sporting a Louis Vuitton coat and two thick gold chains around his neck, the 19-year-old musician appeared deadly serious as he clutched his record while posing for pictures.

But while he was deadpan, fans were amused.

Taking to Twitter, one joked: "Lord, please give me the strength to have as much confidence as Jaden Smith at the #MetGala."

Another mused: "I hope I can one day be as extra as Jade Smith @ the Met Gala carrying around his own gold record for a song where he claims to be an icon living #METGALA18."

A third even tweeted: "I wanna be as extra and as confident as @officialjaden bringing his own gold album to #Metgala as his date."

This is the second year in a row that Jaden has arrived at the Met Gala with a random accessory.

Last year, he turned up with a clump of his own hair.

Weeks before, Jaden had shaved off his dreadlocks so decided to give them one last public airing before putting them in the bin.

This year's Met Gala, held at New York's Metropolitan Museum Of Art, had the theme: 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination'.

The theme was selected to pay tribute to the masterworks of religious art in the museum through the medium of fashion.

Stars who fully embraced it included Kim Kardashian, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Rihanna.

Meanwhile, love was in the air at the event, which took place on Monday evening.

Rapper 2 Chainz decided to propose to his long-term girlfriend Nakesha Ward on the red carpet.

The star got down on one knee in front of the cameras before presenting Nakesha with a diamond ring.
