Early life
Kidada Jones was born in Los Angeles, California, and is the elder daughter of composer/arranger Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton. She was raised in Bel-Air, California, with her younger sister, actress Rashida Jones. Her father is of mostly African American, as well as European, ancestry,[2] and is from a Christian family.[3] Her mother is Ashkenazi Jewish (a descendant of immigrants from Russia and Latvia).[4][5]
She began working as a celebrity stylist for her father's publication Vibe magazine. Jones gained attention when she styled Michael Jackson for the cover of Vibe in 1995, which led her to be subsequently recruited by designer Tommy Hilfiger.

Jones was engaged to Tupac Shakur at the time of his death.[6]
