Jada Pinkett Smith showed off significant hair growth this week as she stepped out in Los Angeles.
The 54-year-old actress, who suffers from the hair loss condition alopecia, sported a wispy platinum-blonde pixie while in Malibu.
It comes after her husband Will Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock for taunting Jada about her bald head at the 2022 Academy Awards.
The incident resulted in the Oscar-winning actor, 57, being banned from the ceremony for a decade.Â
Now, Jada is back to rocking her signature closely-tapered haircut.
The bombshell wore dressy black shorts, thigh-high boots, and a beaded black turtleneck cape for dinner with friends at Nobu on Thursday night.
Jada Pinkett Smith showed off significant hair growth this week as she stepped out in Los Angeles
The 54-year-old actress, who suffers from the hair loss condition alopecia, sported a wispy platinum-blonde pixie while in Malibu.
During the Thursday evening outing Jada — who shares son Jaden, 27, and daughter Willow, 24, with Will — looked great in a light face of makeup.
She appeared to be in good spirits as she carried a sleek black purse with a pristinely manicured hand.
The former Red Table Talk host has kept a low profile throughout the year, with her last Instagram post dated February 7.
In September she was seen with her husband for the first time in 10 months as the longtime couple enjoyed a date in Los Angeles.
In October 2023, while promoting her memoir Worthy, Jada revealed that she and Will have been separated since 2016 but remain married.
While promoting the literary effort on the Today show, she told host Hoda Kotb that the marriage had left them ‘exhausted.’
‘I think by the time we got to 2016 we were just exhausted with trying,’ the author said on the broadcast.
‘I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be,’ she explained.

However, in her memoir she wrote that she decided to stay by her husband’s side the moment he slapped Chris while defending her at the Oscars.
At the 94th Academy Awards, Will got out of his seat and walked onto the stage to slap Chris after the comedian cracked a joke about Jada looking like ‘G.I. Jane’ in reference to her bald head, which she shaves due to alopecia.
After returning to his seat, Will shouted at Chris twice, ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth,’ stunning the live audience and viewers watching at home.
In retrospect, Jada said about the incident: ‘I knew it was going to be an intense reaction. And that was the moment that I decided that I was going to stay by his side.
‘You know, it’s funny how intense situations can amplify love, and it was a pretty difficult time, but it definitely drew us closer. So yeah, it’s crazy how things work.’
