Stacey Dash is returning to her natural roots.
The 59-year-old Clueless star was once a defining it girl of the 1990s, taking center stage in films and music videos.
Her smile, bronzed skin, and greenish-blue eyes frequently left admirers spellbound, and today her Instagram dance clips deliver a comparable effect.
Before she rose to fame in cinema, Dash typically wore her hair in its naturally curly state, later switching to the sleek silk press.
She treated fans to a flashback of her early-era look in a recent dance clip posted on May 20.
Clad in a vivid orange tank top and denim, the actress moved with the rhythm, tapping her toes to the 1972 O’Jays classic “Back Stabbers.”

‘Ain’t too much change since ‘Clueless,’’ a second social media user agreed, adding a playful nod to her past. “Still my favorite mocha-white girl — JK, queen.”
Another commenter chimed in, “Orange you gorgeous.”
These remarks may be innocent, or they could be subtle references to Dash’s past support for Donald Trump. Nevertheless, many redirected attention to her striking dark curls and overall look.
“Wow, you’re absolutely stunning with those curls. And that song choice is perfect,” one admirer commented.
Another supporter wrote, “You are simply beautiful — and your hair is my favorite look.”
Dash first entered the entertainment arena through commercials for hair-care brands and similar spots. One memorable moment is her 1983 Burger King commercial, captured when she was just 16, where she briefly appears taking a bite of a burger.
