Jada Pinkett Smith's Beauty Evolution Includes Tons Of Different Hairstyles

In Hollywood, there's a long, long list of celebrities who have done drastic changes to their looks throughout their careers. But, arguably none measure up to Jada Pinkett Smith's beauty evolution. The actress and wife of Will Smith, mother of Jaden and Willow, and host of the Red Table Talk, is known for her ever-changing hairstyles, and has sported just about every look in the book.

Pinkett Smith's acting career began in 1991 with her breakout role in A Different World. During the decade, she appeared on the red carpet in funky pixie cuts alongside her husband after the two got married in 1997. In the early aughts, the beauty icon continued to switch up her hair, and tried everything from streaky blue highlights to chic bobs. Over the past few years, the host has been adventurous as ever, and even brought back the '90s bowl cut. "Since Jada Pinkett Smith has always been culturally seasoned, she's inspired by world influence and is always game for super funky punky hair with a high fashion twist," her hairstylist Neeko Abriol tells TZR about the look. Through her time in the spotlight, Pinkett Smith often leans towards more subtle makeup that shows off her incredible skin. Of course, all of these changes wouldn't be possible without her glam squad, which as of late consists of Abriol and makeup artist Leanne Hirsh.
