The Smith family were all smiles at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert on Friday (Dec. 11) night. Per usual, superstar daddy Will and wife Jada Pinkett Smith were impeccably dressed for the fancy occasion. As were their children: son Jaden, 11, and daughter Willow, 9.
But, we're not here to talk about their clothes. We're here to talk about their hair.
Rihanna is obviously a fashion icon for Willow, who sports a similar style -- stick straight bob on one side, razor-short on the other. All the better to show that young Willow definitely inherited her father's ears.
Meanwhile, we're in complete and utter awe of brother Jaden's 'fro that is seriously so wide that it extends to the end of his shoulders. And is it just us or does the Fresh Prince's fresh prince look like he's about two weeks from being ready for his first shave?

Feist has premiered a music video to promote her new song "Honey Honey". Directed by Anthony Seck, the video stars finely-detailed puppets and revolves around the story of an old fisherman's wife who waits for her husband. Unfortunately, in the middle of the ocean, the fisherman is caught in trouble when a monstrous fish appears and he becomes its hapless target.
"It's a hand pulling a string at the exact right moment, or it's personifying a piece of wood. There are no computers, no buttons," Feist commented on the music video. "It's just ingenuity and timing and the humanness of the moment. The joints of wood mixed with the joints of blood and bone."
"Honey Honey" is listed on Feist's third album "The Reminder", which has been released on April 23, 2007 worldwide. The album experienced huge success as it won 2008 Juno Awards for "Pop Album of the Year" and was also...
