She's always given the impression of cute little girl with low maintenance wash and go hair.
But now it seems Zahara Jolie Pitt is ready to shed that image with a stylish new 'do.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's six-year-old daughter showed off trendy new hair plait extensions this weekend as the family set out to see a show in Las Vegas.

Family night out: Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh arrived at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino last night in Las Vegas. Zahara was sporting newly braided hair

Even though she was with her superstar parents, all eyes shifted to Zahara's new 'do as the family arrived to take in Sin City's latest musical extravaganza.
In 2009, haughty Newsweek writer Allison Samuels called out Jolie for not 'doing something' with Zahara's hair.
Samuels'mean spirited article set the blogosphere on fire with many readers taking aim at the reporter herself, saying she should focus on more important issues than a child's hair.
Perhaps Samuels will have more to say now that Zahara has unveiled a different hairstyle.

Get ready: The clan prepare to see the critically acclaimed show

Ten-year-old Maddox, Pax, seven , Zahara and five-year-old Shiloh headed out with their parents to the show which celebrates the work of the late Michael Jackson.
MichaelJackson: The Immortal World Tour is the official theatrical production by Cirque du Soleil which uses the music and vision of Michael Jackson along with Cirque du Soleil's signature acrobatic performance style to create a realistic concert experience.
The arena show, which is very similar to a rock concert, began its tour October 2, 2011.
After touring North America for about two years, it will continue on to Europe and the rest of the world.

When it leaves North America, a resident show, which will be more theatrical in nature, will open in early 2013 at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In addition to the resident show at the Mandalay Bay, Cirque du Soleil will also be opening up a Michael Jackson-inspired lounge.
The Michael Jackson estate has partnered with Cirque du Soleil in order to create this concert experience. As part of the $250 million contract with Sony allowing music publishing until 2017, an album was produced.
The concert is currently the number one concert in the world according to ticket sales.
