Here at That Grape Juice, we’re always eager to hear what the masses are saying about the hottest topics.

As such, this Summer we hit the streets of London Town – in association with the campaign for Beyonce‘s award-winning single ‘Pretty Hurts’ – to ask the simple question…’What Is Pretty?’

Cop a gander of Jada Pinkett Smith!

The ‘Gotham’ actress flashes her fab abs a-front of Shape magazine’s January/February issue.

Beyond her acting gigs, 43-year-old Jada is renown for being the matriarch of the talented Smith clan – which includes husband Will and offspring Willow and Jaden.

Owing impressive physique to intense cardio, the diva also cited her hubby as her body motivation:

Sweet.
