Jada Pinkett Smith has shared a stunning new selfie on social media to honor National Bald is Beautiful Day.
The 50-year-old Red Table Talk host took to Instagram on Tuesday (September 13) to celebrate the special occasion by posting a stylish snap of her shaved head.
Pinkett Smith is seen donning a satin top, simple earrings, and a bold ruby red lip in her beautiful selfie, which has amassed 62,735 likes on the social media platform.
"Happy Bald is Beautiful day to all my brothers and sisters with no hair," Pinkett Smith wrote in a positive message to her 11.7 million followers.
Check out her selfie below:The Menace II Society actress also honored the day on the Facebook Watch show's Instagram account by sharing clips from an episode dedicated to bald beauty.
The clip featured women from her "bald boss movement," as well as other celebrities such as actress Yvonne Orji and writer Sidra Smith, as well more people who have appeared on the show to speak about their relationship with their hair.
"Bald is beautiful EVERY day, but we’re not mad about showing off a little extra today! Where's all our bald baddies at?! #baldisbeautifulday," the show's official Instagram account captioned the post.
In 2018, the Collateral actress first spoke about her hair fall-out during an episode of her talk show, and last year, she revealed on Instagram that she is living with alopecia in a candid video that showed one of her bare scalp patches.
"Now at this point, I can only laugh," Pinkett Smith said. "Y'all know I've been struggling with alopecia and just all of a sudden one day, look at this line right here. Look at that," she added while she showed the bald line patch along the center of her scalp.
"So it just showed up like that, and this is going to be a little bit more difficult for me to hide. So I thought I'd just share it so y'all are not asking any questions," she continued.
The Instagram post comes six months after the Academy Awards in March, when her husband, Will Smith, smacked Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke comparing her to G.I. Jane.
Pinkett Smith addressed the incident in an episode about the disorder on her show in June and said: "Considering what I've been through with my own health and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have reached out to me with their stories."
"I'm using this moment to give our alopecia family an opportunity to talk about what it's like to have this condition and to inform people about what alopecia actually is," she said.
In the weeks following the incident, the 53-year-old King Richard actor publicly apologized to the 57-year-old comedian and resigned from the Academy.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts also announced that Smith would be banned from attending any Academy events for a decade.
