Willow Smith looked a bit sleepy as she was spotted landing in New York City on Sunday morning.
The 19-year-old singer walked with a friend as she wore a colorful tie-dye top as she modeled some very long locks.
This comes after the beauty shared a post last week where she revealed she had sought help from visionary Sadhguru as she has been going through an ‘existential crisis.’

Willow was dressed for comfort on Monday. She had on an unusual tie-due hoodie with a black background and colorful marks with a swirl in the middle.
The daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith had on royal blue slacks with black sneakers.
The former child star added beaded bracelets to one wrist. Her hair was long and curly, a stark contrast from the nearly bald head she has been wearing lately.

And she had a cell phone worn crossbody style.
As far as her meeting with a guru, she wrote about it on Instagram.
‘Rare sighting of <@sadhguru> helping me through my existential crisis // INFINITE GRATITUDE for this moment with this spectacular human being.’ the star said as she added a photo credit for Alan Silfen.
This comes after she revealed Tuesday on her family’s Facebook Watch talk show Red Table Talk that she and brother Jaden felt ‘shunned’ by the Black community over their defiance of gender norms.
The teen opened up: ‘Specifically with the African American community, I kind of felt like me and Jaden were shunned a little bit. “We’re not gonna take pride in them because they’re too different. They’re too weird.”‘
She added: ‘Even some of our family members, I would feel they thought, “You’re too different.”‘
It came in response to mom Jada Pinkett, 49, who opened up about her experience with mom-shaming, which was the topic of this week’s show.
Jada revealed: ‘Over the years, I have had my fair share of mom-shaming. With Willow, I think the first time I got hardcore criticism, when you first cut your hair, there was a firestorm.’

Willow and Jaden, 22, have long been known for their gender fluid presentations, Willow shaving her head and her brother opting for skirts on occasion.
She opened up about her sexuality last June in another Red Table Talk, telling Jada and grandmother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, 66: ‘I love men and women equally, and so I would definitely want one man, one woman. I feel like I could be polyfidelitous with those two people.’
Polyfidelity is a form of non-monogamy, in which all members of the relationship are considered equal partners.
The Whip My Hair artist added: ‘I’m not the kind of person that is constantly looking for new sexual experiences.
Supportive parents: Willow and Jaden have been fortunate enough to have supportive parents in mom Jada Pinkett and dad Will Smith, 52, who frequently encourage their self-expression (pictured in September, 2012)
‘I focus a lot on the emotional connection and I feel like if I were to find two people of different genders that I really connected with and we had a romantic and sexual connection, I don’t feel like I would feel the need to try to go find more.’
Although Jaden hasn’t explicitly discussed his sexuality, he’s referred to Tyler, the Creator, 29, as his boyfriend in the past.
He also told Nylon in 2016 of his gender expression: ‘You just have to believe in yourself, you know. The world is going to keep bashing me for whatever I do, and I’m going to keep not caring. I’m going to keep doing the same things—I’m going to keep doing more things. I’m going to take most of the blows for my fellow MSFTS.
‘So, you know, in five years when a kid goes to school wearing a skirt, he won’t get beat up and kids won’t get mad at him. It just doesn’t matter. I’m taking the brunt of it so that later on, my kids and the next generations of kids will all think that certain things are normal that weren’t expected before my time.”
