I understand how you feel. I guess I’ll be labeled a “hater” if I say that she is unattractive in my eyes because I don’t see it. Her skin is georgeous though.
I admire her back story. I read about her youth and how much trouble her people faced growing up in Sudan. Sad story. But the girl triumphed and overcame, broke some barriers and that’s something to be proud of.
please stop lying LOL..Alex is ugly as hell and it aint got nothing to do with her being very dark
Everyone looks beautiful….Glad to see such diverse shades of beautiful black (color wise…I know everyones nationality is not african american) women.
Alek Wek’s legs are amazing. They are so long and fierce! I luv her!!!!!
Iman looks beautiful as well as Rosario–were rockin’ the same hairstyle!lol!
Kimora’s dress is a lil’ “hooch” for the event.
Not feeling Kanye’s belt.
i ABSOLUTELY love alek wek’s smile. yeah, she’s broken some barriers in the modeling industry, BUT we’ve still got a LONG way to go in this industry (i know).
Naomi crazy ass brought another weapon..Alek better duck!
All the women look stunning! Forget these young 14 year old girls, Naomi, Alek, Iman, and Kimora have still got it! Rosario looks great too.
I see Alek’s cover book….get it girl!
Kimora looks fab! Love her!
hey what happen to my comment?
Alek is not attractive. Please , spare me the color speech . It’s my damn opinion!
Moving along…
Everyone else looks great. I like Kimora’s dress but not on her body.
Naw you’re not a hater @29 – I feel the same way, but then I feel bad because I love black beauty and I know she has had such a struggle. Me not seeing or understanding her beauty makes me just feel very western, very american, but then I remember how turned on I was getting when I saw that movie Catch a Fire with Derek Luke – yummy. I know he was just playing an african, but when they made him strip… Dam that pesky wife of his. I don’t know his background but I thought he was so sexay! So, I don’t know. I guess simply put I think she has a cute smile and dimples and can wear some damn clothes, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
They all look nice
Boycott?? Negative stereotypes??? I am black and sorry but thats not VH1′s problem if those classless black women want to embarrass themselves on a national level. These people are a disgrace to our race, and they are why sophisticated, educated black men and women have to struggle. When will black people learn to drop their ignorant mannerisms and classless dress code????? Makes me sick actually.
Alek is a black beauty. She doesnt have the best legs, nevertheless she’s gorgeous.
‘Ye is too fly. He is a style icon.
Naomi looks stunning. Dont like the crazy bitch, but she looks good.
JAMELIA U NICE GURL, ALEK THE QUEEN
Alek is just absolutely gorgeous. im so jealous of her skin tone..her skin always look edible..that is the kinda chocolate skin i want..not hating on my own skin tone..but I just love her exotic looks..
@ GG Boo, girl please. Beauty IS in the eye like you said. I get tired of defending myself for not thinking that Alex is the definition of Black beauty. Puh-leeeze. lol. I know of and have seen a whole lot more beauty in women much darker than her, even in my own family. Her features are what kills it for me. But people get so sensitive and shit. lol. I’m so over that.
Alek is gorgeous without question and I think it is absolutely shameful that many non-blacks can see the beauty in her before many black people themselves. Besides, what are the PHYSICAL characteristics of “ugly”?
Everyone look nice and I love Kimora shoes.
@ Velvet J, I never called her ugly so I can’t answer your question. She’s not ugly to me — just unattractive. There’s a difference. But let me ask you this, how is that you find it shameful and expect people to see the thing that comes from your eyes but you not find it shameful that you can’t see what’s coming from theirs?
Hey anybody seen that movie Kids? Roasario was in that…HALARIOUS!
SEXY PEOPLE! NAOMI JUST KILLED IT
Alek Wek looks like a boy. I’ll say it,she’s ugly.
#30,
WHY DON’T YOU POST A PICTURE OF YOURSELF SO WE CAN SEE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE. STUPID IDIOT CALLING SOMEONE UGLY. don’t hide behind your computer and be typing trash. you are a big fool
i love alek wek!

damn kanye is lookinf fly

Get ‘em Ms_Mac!!!
And Velvet J, you said: “I think it is absolutely shameful that many non-blacks can see the beauty in her before many black people themselves.”
Um, you’re kidding right? Puh-leeze. Ms_Mac didn’t say she was ugly. She said she’s unattractive! Yes, the young lady probably has great inner beauty and I’m sure she’s a lovely person. Just b/c she’s a supermodel, doesn’t mean the YT’s find her beautiful!
Some of ya’ll think that just because she had a “struggle” and she’s now a “supermodel” that we all have to say she is so gorgeous. Get outta here!
I’m feelin everyone’s outfit…………
I’m sorry but…….Alek Wek looks like a well dress refugee……..
Interesting shoes Jamelia……..
In the pic of Alex Wek & Kimora… (Alex Wek caption: I invited Kimora??? I don’t remember when this *%$$ was a model)
I like Kimora, but sometimes she looks like a larger than life hooch >>
JMO
alek wek and iman…AFRICAN STAND UP! lol i’m proud of them
Iman is a timeless beauty! Her skin is flawless and well shes just a very pretty woman,and isnt she in the 50′s now?WOW!
I think Alex Wek is pretty and that of coyurse is my opinion. While her skin tone is beautifl to me, her afrocentric features are equally beautiful! I luv how she embraces what so many of our people attempt to erase or downplay! On the runway she is a force to be reckoned with. I think that the should have more models who look like her on the runways because she is one of a small few doing big!
Rosario Dawson looks so pretty,the hair the dress ,its working for her!
Kimora the diva looks nice but I wish shed stop taking these pics with her legs positioned in that pigeontoed way!lol
Naomi looks nice (noit somethign Id wear but with her height and given fact shes a model it works for her
Kanye What ever -Hes too arrogant for me to even comment on!NEXT!
