AceShowbiz - Jada Pinkett Smith seems to be in high spirits during her first public appearance following the whole Oscars drama involving her husband Will Smith and comedian Chris Rock. On Saturday, April 9, the actress attended the grand opening of the Rhimes Performing Arts Center.
During the event, the "Red Table Talk" co-host was joined by Shonda Rhimes and Debbie Allen. Jada looked stunning in a strapless gold dress. She opted to keep her look simple as she didn't wear any jewelry to be paired with her sparkling gown.
The mom of two also shared a picture of her at the event later on Sunday. Alongside a snap of her posing on the red carpet with Shonda and Debbie, the actress wrote in the caption, "Big shout out to @shondarhimes for helping the dreams of the Debbie Allen Dance Academy become a reality."
Named after the 52-year-old "Grey's Anatomy" creator, the Rhimes Performing Arts Center is a Los Angeles-based arts venue. It will host Debbie's eponymous Debbie Allen Dance Academy. The 25,000-square-foot facility offers two stories of classrooms, studios and a theater per a Gensler description.
Meanwhile, Jada's appearance on Saturday marked the first time she was photographed since the 2022 Oscars, which took place on March 27. At the award-giving event, Will caused a controversy after he slapped Chris onstage for joking about Jada's shaved head.
In the wake of the drama, Will issued a public apology in addition to resigning from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. More recently, the Academy announced that they had decided to ban the "King Richard" star from future Oscars events for 10 years. "I accept and respect the Academy's decision," the Oscar-winning actor simply responded to the ban.
