Absolutely Gorgeous! Can’t wait for my copy to come in the mail!
wonderful to see strong black women doin they thing…keep it up ladies!!!
WOW First. Great cover. Kimora Lee simmons is NOT black!!! Maybe 25% BLACK but bnot 100% and it does not get any better unless you are 100% bonified BLACK QUEEN.
IS KIMORA EVEN BLACK? MIGHT BE A STUPID QUESTION BUT I’M JUST CURIOUS.
And YAYYY! First!
i love that cover it’s FABULOUS!!!!
FYI……. she is half Black……. her father……. what is wrong with you people
YAY!
Tyra almost looks as if she doesn’t belong but i’m still loving it!
Black women are beautiful
They all look so gorgeous! I haven’t seen Alek Wek in a minute, I’ve always loved her smile and round cheeks.
i swear some black folks makes me mad about how ignorant they are.anyways thats a beautiful cover.
Kimora IS half black, and I’m loving that she’s on the cover. Beautiful.
omg i would get tear apart if i post my pic here since im not consider black enough.
Kimora’s father is African-American, so I don’t know what people are complaining about. It’s like people are either “too black” or not black enough. Jeez. It’s a nice cover, they all look beautiful.
THIS IS AN OUT AND OUT LIE, HOW DID KIMORA MAKE THIS CUT! SHE WASN’T EVEN THAT SUCCESSFUL OF A MODEL BEFORE SHE MET RUSSELL! TOP MODEL MY ASS, MORE LIKE TOP TURKEY NECK WHICH I SEE THEY PHOTOSHOPPED OUT OF THIS PHOTO.
Alek’s skin is so pretty and luminous, you don’t see that everyday. You know they usually say we are ashy, but her skin always as a natural glow and glisten to it; so smooth and velvet like. Iman has beautiful skin too.
uh Kimore was huge here back then (europe).She made millions before even meeting Russell.
Nice cover. Black is beautiful in all shades
HAHA no Naomi! I never get Ebony but this month looks intresting
@ 3 …. that was a dumb ass comment, how many people are 100% black now a days, black does not mean strictly african blood, if ur only mixed with black it doesnt count??? get the fuck outta here
….but yea it looks like fun times…except tyra, she was all about getting the shot LoL
Soo pretty!!
I ♥ Black beauty!!!
Absolutely Gorgeous!!
i agree mika
Oooh n Tyra looks photoshopped in or something, she looks odd
lol 19
Ffor the record NO ONE is 100% anything.
WTF????? NO Naomi they should take out Alex Wek and put in Naomi. Naomi is a legend and fashion icon in the modeling industry. Ebony is crazy for not having her on the cover. I bet big forehead Tyra had something to do with it.
What happen to Naomi Campbell
Get rid of Kimora..she ain’t no Top model except for Babyphat and walking a few runways, Where is Liya Kebede and Namoi Campbell, they made history in the industry.
I think that this is a beautiful cover. For those ignorat people who don’t know, Kimora is black. When are black people going to stop hating on each other? That is what’s wrong with us now. We always have to tear other people down especially with our own race. Just because she took more after her mother’s side of the family doesn’t mean she’s not black. I’m glad to see strong black women representing like this.
I love this cover! Awesome. Simply beautiful….blazing new trails!
Love this cover! can’t wait to pick it up! They could’ve had namoi on the cover too. maybe scheduling issues??
No Naiomi… OK. Kimmora…..OK. I LOVE Alek Wek, so beautiful. As far as who is black as who isn’t- this topic is getting really tiering. I know if slavery came back today- I would be on that boat sailing away- not alot of people can say that. My shade is dark; therefore I am black, negro, negra, whatever. HALF OF ANYTHING IS NOT COMPLETE- SIMPLE MATH.
@26 i am sure u one of da ignorant blacks 29 is talkin bout *frowns and shakes head*
YOU MUTHA FUCKERS ON CL ARE CRAZY AS HELL. IF A PERSON IS MIXED 1/2 THIS 1/2 BLACK THAT MEANS THAT THEY ARE CONSIDERED BLACK. YOU BITCHES NEED TO STOP HATING ON THE BLACK RACE PERIOD!
WHY MUST SOME ONE ALWAYS BRING UP DA TOPIC OF SLAVERY!!!! ARGHH!
Yeah Kimora is black, but she isn’t a supermodel like Liya or Naomi, so to put her on the cover over these ladies is wrong, also if she hadn’t dated Russell, who would know who she is …it’s not about tearing down a person, it’s about giving credit where’s it’s due.Heck Beverly Johnson deserved to be on the cover also.
beautiful girls of all shades
Kimora is Black Enough for me, that’s for sure, I know her man Black enough SMDH
Uh, where’s Naomi Campbell, Veronica Webb, Liya Kebele, Roshumba, Tomiko Fraiser?
Iman and Alek Hell Yeah – those other two yuck!
Thank you to those of you who defended Kimora. My father is black and my mom is from the Philipines and I am so sick and tired of people making those ignorant statements. I am just as black as anyone else. Some of you made some good points ” nobody is 100% of anything”!
I LOVE this cover! This is one mag that I wll buy with all those lovely ladies on the cover!! I do wish they had’ve included Naomi but she might have caused too much drama!
Oh and Beverly Johnson!
Beautiful cover!
There has not been a black model that has been more famous and more successful than Naomi. I think Ebony should have put her on the cover. And how in the hell could they have not put Beverly Johnson.
Ebony that is crazy not to have those two ladies on the cover.
WHY IS IT THAT WHEN THE MODELING INDUSTRY SELECTS A VERY DARK SKINNED BLACK MODEL, THEY HAVE TO LOOK LIKE ALEK WEK. SORRY, BUT ALEK WEK IS NOT ATTRACTIVE, SHE LOOKS EXOTIC AND THAT IS WHY THEY SELECT VERY DARK SKINNED MODELS. WHY IS KIMORA LEE ON THE COVER AND NOT BEVERLY JOHNSON. ALTHOUGH I AM A EBONY AND JET MAGAZINE FANATIC, THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF COLORISM,JUST CHECK OUT THE EDITIONS FROM THE EARLY YEARS OF THE MAGAZINES AND YOU WILL SEE LIGHT SKINNED WOMEN DOMINATING THE COVERS. BEFORE ANYONE JUMPS THE GUN, I SUPPORT ALEK WEK. JUST BECAUSE I DISAGREE WITH HOW SHE LOOKS DOES NOT MEAN I DISAGREE WITH HER SKIN COMPLEXION.
That is a beautiful cover. All the women are beautiful.
I’M DIGGIN THE COVER! TYRA AND IMAN LOOK ALIKE WITH THE HAIR…..KIMORA IS BLACK TO ME, LOL, SHE MARRIED A BLACK MAN AND HAS BLACK BABIES! NAH, BUT I LIKE HER ATTITUDE. SHE IS A GO GETTA PERIOD…….
…Beverly Peele, Bethann Hardison (now there’s a mogul for your ass!)
WTF??? okay so if slavery started today only dark skinned people would be slaves. NO! kimora’s ass would be in chains too “if you got a drop of nigga blood you’s a nigga” that’s how it was period!
Aww! I like the cover and LOL @ people’s comments about Kimora….WOW
This is a beautiful cover, but Kimora is out of place. The reality is-KIMORA IS MIXED!!! It doesn’t matter if her dad is black or not, she ISN’T!! Has nothing to do with “being black enough”…she isn’t black. How can you be called black, when you mom is asian????
But still, a nice cover!
Iman and Tyra kinda look alike here…Tyra looks like she did when she was younger with these bangs…
Never really liked Kimora…I can’t put my finger on it but there’s something about her. And no it’s not that i’m “hating”….I know that’s some people’s favorite word…
gorgeous cover, although Tyra does look a little like a 4th wheel. The other 3 are kinda close together and she’s a little distance. Weird, I know she and Kimora are friends so you would think they’d have been closer together.
Okay then, ALEK is the only 100% black woman on the cover, so STFU.now are you guys happy!
Some of you guys are really IGNORANT THE MAJORITY OF BLACK PEOPLE IN THE US IS MIXED NONE OF US ARE 100% THE ONLY PERSON UP THERE WHO IS PROBABLY 100% IS ALEK> TYRA AND IMAN ARE NOT 100% AFRICAN.
I”M NOT 100% AFRICAN IS THERE ANYONE ON THESE SITE 100% AFRICAN???
@ #40 – I’m sorry, but you are not black! You and Kimora as well as other mixed people need to learn to love your own race – BIRACIAL! True black people don’t have Asian, White, Phillipino, Mexican, etc…mixed in their blood. You are MIXED and Im sure that you are beautiful, but you have to learn to embrace your own race.
#51 R U 100% , R UR parents 100% if not I suggest you stop talking.
Seriously some of you guys do NOT know the history of Black people and that is a shame.
For your information because of SLAVERY most Blacks are mixed with different races that is why WE R BLACK and NOT AFRICAN.
Kimora’s Father is Black and he’s more than likely mixed.
Unless you’re African you are mixed and so are your parents, unless they are 100% african.
#56 SO R U 100% AFRICAN???
I forgot about Veronica Webb!
WTF HAPPEN TO BEVERLY JOHNSON. SHE SHOULD BE ON THERE NOT KIMORA. KIMORA IS PART BLACK BUT SHE WAS NEVER A TOP BLACK MODEL. SHE WAS A GOOD MODEL LIKE SOME OF THE OTHERS BUT TOP NOWAY
