Britney Spears‘ sons are stepping further into the fashion world, but their latest runway appearance has sparked plenty of criticism online.
Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, made a rare public appearance during Paris Men’s Fashion Week on Friday, June 26, walking in the Vetements Spring/Summer 2027 menswear show.
Jayden took to the runway in a fitted white tank top, blue jeans, a brown leather belt, and matching boots, while Sean sported a black satin shirt layered beneath a coordinating overcoat, paired with jeans and dress shoes. Both confidently made their way down the catwalk, marking one of their highest-profile appearances to date.

Internet Reacts To Jaden Smith & Britney Spears' Sons Making Runway Debuts
However, once clips of the brothers' runway debut began circulating on Instagram, many social media users were quick to weigh in—and not everyone was impressed. Several commenters accused the pair of benefiting from celebrity nepotism, while others criticized their runway walks.
"Here we go... nepo at its finest," one person wrote.
Another commented, "I'll wait for the inevitable record label launch—or what else do rich kids do? Oh yeah, a fashion line."
"Runways? No. It's the nepo parade," another user added.
Others questioned whether the brothers belonged on the catwalk at all.
"Seems walking down an aisle is the only thing celebrity kids can do," one commenter joked.
"Why was he in such a rush in the first clip?" another asked.
One viewer also pointed out that several celebrity offspring were present at the event, writing, "Was this show all about nepo babies? North West was in attendance too."
Others focused on the brothers' runway technique, with comments including, "Money can't buy a better walk," "Horrible walk," and simply, "The nepotism."
Britney Spears & Kevin Federline's Sons Make Their Way Into The Spotlight
The Vetements show wasn't Jayden James' first foray into the fashion world. Just a month earlier, he attended the Dior Cruise show in Los Angeles alongside his girlfriend. For the occasion, he opted for a relaxed look, wearing a dark green jacket layered over a coordinating plaid shirt, blue jeans, and casual footwear.
Jayden and his older brother, Sean Preston, are the two sons the singer she shares with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. The former couple married in September 2004 after a whirlwind romance but divorced in 2007, with Spears citing irreconcilable differences.
Following their split and Spears' widely publicized personal struggles, Federline was awarded sole legal and physical custody of their two sons. In recent years, however, the "Toxic" hitmaker has been rebuilding her relationship with Sean and Jayden, who have gradually begun making more public appearances as young adults.
