That Was Then, This is WOW!
Jada Pinkett Smith
Before the glam squads and red-carpet makeovers, celebrities were not always in star style. Check out how a few of our favorite Hollywood starlets have transformed throughout the years.
By Qianna Smith
From coed cutie on “A Different World” to superstar actress, mother and wife, Jada Pinkett Smith is still the picture of perfection she was when she first arrived on the scene. One of the key factors of this ageless beauty’s appeal—besides her strong acting chops—is her flawless face. Smith’s dewy skin is irresistible. Check out Neutrogena Deep Clean Relaxing Nightly Cleanser, $7, drugstores nationwide, to perfect your own complexion. Remember to drink water every day so your skin stays naturally hydrated from the inside out.
I hear ya DD. My measurements right now are, 38-24-38 and I am 46 years old. Anybody I meet thinks I'm in my 20's. I have 2 daughters an 21 year old and an 8 year old and they love to show mama off. I know I look great and I could beat out any of these women and my income is only 35k a year. I have God, my babies and my husband who loves to show me off also. The point is my measurements in high school were 36-24-36. I'm blessed and so are some of these women but you don't have to be famous to look good. Oh my mama who is 68 her measurements are 36-25-36. yeah I'm braggin!!!!!

lol I know Ms Obama is hating that these old pictures of her are circulating. She looks good now, because she knows better and has a stylist. There was an old rerun on TV with Halle Berry before she was and you see how full her nose is then. Janet has had work done, you know that look at lil Penny from Good Times, and you wouldn't even know it was the same little girl. My neice who is 12 asked me how was Michael Jackson Black back in the day and now???? She saw old pictures of MJ with the afro, the nose

These are fun to see. Go, J.Hud. She was naturally pretty before -- your all American high school kid. Now she has transformed into a glamorous, pretty lady. It is a fair observation that some of the women have had surgery and that celebs are airbrushed and draped in expensive clothes and jewelry and "sometimes" that gives them the edge. Howver, I agee with the posters who say we can all age beautifully and it's not about a lot of money. I see BW all around me all the time who look great as they age because they take care of themselves. I also believe that for the most part, Black Don't Crack. Just like Asians, Black people look younger for their age.... generally.

I'm not sure of where this was going. It just show stars from when they were younger and now older.. I can too take a picture from way back when and then a picture of today and wow! beauty.... I was cute back then and now I am a beautiful black woman. That isn't really so hard to understand. There are no real serious makeovers so to speak. Just moving up with the times... With that being said, they are beautiful none-the-less...

All the women have much fuller faces when they were younger. Jada and Halle especially. They all look really good. Michelle Obama looks very good NOW!

Mariah looks the same it just she tamed the hair but her facial feactures are the same. Oprah and Halle did not have to much done other than a nose job. Not a big deal they are all beautiful.
