39 Times Willow Smith Was a Beauty Badass (and You Wanted to Copy Her)
:extract_cover():upscale()/2016/03/08/885/n/1922153/f08fcde3_edit_img_cover_file_15110365_1457462433_GettyImages-514284230.jpg)
Willow Smith was destined to be a beauty muse. As the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, she is genetically blessed when it comes to personal style (and just being gorgeous). She recently shared the news via Instagram that she is now a Chanel ambassador, thanking Karl Lagerfeld and the fashion house for "expanding the perceptions of 'beauty'" and picking her. But when we heard this, we thought, "Of course they did!"
Just scroll through the photos we dug up of Willow over the past 10 years. Like a chameleon, she is able to easily change her style while still looking stunning and inspiring. Plus, she has tried every hair length from an almost-shaved head to bum-skimming locks, experimented with rainbow dye colors, and dolled up her face with bold eyeliner looks. We predict her beauty stardom will only grow from here!
