Masculinity has never looked so damn pretty.

Hip teen Jaden Smith is once again challenging gender norms in a new photo shoot for Vogue Korea. In the image, taken by Peter Ash Lee and posted to Smith's Instagram Tuesday, he poses topless, donning a chic skirt, accented by blue painted fingernails and a red flower tucked behind his ear.

Smith is being lauded across media for embracing gender fluidity, a trend that graced several runways during fashion weeks last year.

This isn't the first time Smith has been photographed in a skirt -- the 17-year-old delighted the fashion world in early January appearing as the new face of Louis Vuitton's Spring 2016 women's collection alongside three female models.
