Happy Birthday, Lisa Bonet! The Bohemian Icon’s Best Beauty Looks
Lisa Bonet s husband, Justice League star Jason Momoa, recently revealed he s had a lifelong crush on his wife. But—let s be real—who hasn t? Since Bonet, who turns 52 today, first entered living rooms everywhere as the free-spirited Denise Huxtable, whipping through a dizzying lineup of bohemian getups, she s enchanted men and women alike with her salt-of-the-earth beauty.
In the 80s, Bonet played up her natural texture, framing her enviably-pronounced bone structure with coiled bangs and halo of voluminous ringlets. And instead of defaulting to the de facto vivid makeup of the time, she was a precursor of the no-makeup makeup look with a totally bare face and brows brushed up to feral effect. Easing into the 90s, and her high profile relationship with rocker Lenny Kravitz, she wore waist-length dreads and embraced the decade s moody milieu with nude lips and lids swathed in dark jewel tones, such as violet and burgundy. And from the early aughts through today, she s complemented her proclivity for dark, romantic silhouettes with flicks of eyeliner and cheekbone-defining swirls of bronzer. But while Bonet loves to experiment with her look—a trait she s passed down to her doppelgänger daughter Zoë Kravitz—her enduring beauty will always be anchored by her prenatural, age-defying glow and untamed extreme lengths. Here, a look back at how her iconic insouciant beauty has evolved over the years.
