Actress Jada Pinkett Smith may be known for fostering a safe space for hard conversations of Red Table Talk but in the ‘90s, she was known for her daring red carpet looks. She never shyed away from showing off her abs and petite physique. Jada regularly embraced bold colors and unexpected textures like this aqua-blue matching strappy knit set designed by ‘90s knitwear designer Gigi Hunter. Hunter had all our favorites from Jada to Beyoncé in her knitwear designs. 

Our favorite thing about this look is that it’s truly timeless. Hunter was ahead of her time when it came to coming up with flattering silhouettes like this knit set. Smith tied this look together with a strappy white sandal and accessorized with a thick diamond choker, dangly earrings, and sunglasses that are very ‘90s. If you’re feeling an urge to experiment with your style the way Jada has, scroll through for our top picks to recreate this look and become ‘90s fine.
