She may be only 10 years old, but Willow Smith, daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, and sister of “Karate Kid” actor Jaden, is a natural born entertainer – which she more than proved with a live rendition of her hit single “Whip My Hair.”

The young star was at the LA Live Holiday Tree Lighting over the weekend, where she performed her chart topping first single, much to the delight of the crowds, as ShowbizSpy reports.

Dressed all in white, the young fashionista and singer also got into the spirit of Christmas by having candy-cane-like braids on her head. She also wore fingerless gloves and made her entrance in a puff of smoke – as noted above, a true entertainer.

Proud parents Will and Jada were in the crowd, cheering and dancing to their daughter’s beats, reports says. Photos of Will show him smiling from ear to ear with fatherly pride.

“The daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith performed her debut single ‘Whip My Hair’ at the festive celebration wearing a candy cane-themed hat,” says DigitalSpy.

After the show, which was wonderfully received just like Willow’s first single also was, she took to Twitter to share her impressions with her fans and followers.

“Had so much fun at LA Live’s Tree Lighting!! Thanks to everyone who came out and whipped their hair (: You guys were awesome! [sic]” Willow tweeted.

Willow has plenty of reasons to be proud, especially since her parents weren’t the only stars in the audience to watch her perform, says the aforementioned e-zine.

“Other stars who appeared at the event included Stevie Wonder, Seal and Greyson Chance, while 90210 actress Jessica Lowndes and Jersey Shore’s Pauly D were also in attendance. Olympic medalist Evan Lysacek was also present to perform a special ice-skating routine,” ShowbizSpy writes.

“The event, hosted by Billy Bush, also marked the opening of the LA Kings Holiday Ice rink,” says the e-zine. It also marked a successful start for a very promising young pop star, Willow Smith.
