Lisa Bonet stunned fans with her look during her first public appearance in four years.
The 58-year-old High Fidelity actress sat in the front row at Celine’s spring/summer 2027 ready-to-wear runway show during Paris Fashion Week on Saturday.
Bonet, whose legal name is Lilakoi Moon, wore a silky black dress, black sheer tights, and kitten-heeled ankle boots. Outside, she layered the outfit with a beige trench coat.
She accessorized with a beige purse, a spike septum piercing, and round sunglasses, which she kept on throughout the event.
One detail that caught many fans’ eyes was Bonet’s salt-and-pepper locks, which reached down to her waist.

Many wondered whether the extremely rare appearance signaled a new project for Bonet.
“Allowing herself to be filmed and publicized, she has something coming up,” one fan speculated. Multiple people chimed in, hoping she would appear in the second season of Netflix’s new A Different World reboot.
Many of her co-stars from the sitcom that ran from 1987 to 1993 are part of the reprise, including Jasmine Guy, Kadeem Hardison, Cree Summer, and Darryl M. Bell.

Bonet has rarely been photographed since she announced her divorce from Aquaman actor Jason Momoa in 2022.
The couple met at a jazz club in 2005, and Momoa, who had a crush on Bonet when she was on The Cosby Show, made a move.

Before marrying Momoa, Bonet was in a highly public relationship with, and later married, rockstar Lenny Kravitz.
The ‘80s “it” couple met in an elevator at a New Edition concert in 1985. Kravitz recognized Bonet from The Cosby Show and, despite his nervousness sparked a conversation by complimenting her hair.
