Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith hosted Essence Magazine’s First Annual Black Women In Hollywood luncheon. It was a star studded event for Black women in film and television including guests Kerry Washington, Ruby Dee, Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan, Tracy Ellis Ross, Raven Symone – and many more.
Will and Jada are going the distance! Everybody looks good.
This is the first post that I can GENUINELY say that all my people look FAB!
Who is that guy with Ruby Dee??? Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm!!
I love me someee Will…….everyone else look iight…..luvn raven curls
JADA LOOKS GREAT
JADA!!!!LYNN!!!!TRACY!!!!KERI!!!!!TIA:: THE BEST OF THE BUNCH!!
they had another picture on the People magazine website where is showed Jada, Will , Tom and Katie at the same table all smiling and posing for the camera. it is good to see friends support each other! Gabrielle, this is not Rip the Runway..please stop posing like you are supermodel of the world!
Looka my cuz lisa…..look so lovely mama
Wow… everyone looks amazing!
Lisaray is not wearing the signature white anymore? What’s up with that?
everyone look superfly…especially the smiths.
tracee looks corrine rae bailey.
I see that Raven Simone has a good girdle on. Everybody looks great. I just have one question. Does everybody in Hollywood have to have a long sewn in weave?
Everyone looks good. I heard it was a really nice event. And Nia Long just can’t miss!!! Fabulous!!!
Everyone looks nice and classy!
Everyone looks really good…some better than others, but for the most part the ones who shine always will and those you usually don’t came up! Good job Black Hollywood! Favorites- Jada, Sanaa, Nia, Paula, Wendy (LOVE the dress), Gab (love the back of the dress and her makeup) Sally, Vivica (I know, right?), and Tia (she’s been steppin’ up The Game lately- pun intended). I usually love Jurnee— she’s still looks nice, but she’s aged herself. Rave, who I think is very pretty, looks better than usual and she is slimming down, but I think she should soften her look with less weave, makeup and cleavage. The dress on Lynn– not really feeling it and Kerry is always a little quirky so while I think the fit is cute, I’m not sure about the hair and makeup. Anyway, like I wrote above— everyone did decent. I do however want “us” to do something different with “our” hair. The straight/tousled weave is getting stale.
Everyone looks really good! I love Raven’s dress! Nia, Sanaa, Garbielle…aww hell everyone looks nice! lmao
Everyone looks great!
EVERYBODY LOOKS HOT..
WHAT THE FUCK WAS TOM&KATIE DOIN @ THE BLACK WOMEN IN FILM AND TELEVISION FESTIVAL???
DO TRACY ELLIS ROSS LOOK SUPRISED ALL THE TIME??
I WISH JURNEE WOULD HAVE A GOT HER DRESS ALTERED TO SHOW OFF HER NICE CURVES..STILL CLASSY
I JUST KNEW LAILA LESBIAN ASS WAS GONE BE AT THE CONVENTION..PROBABLY COPPIN THE FIELD EVERYWHERE SHE GO
I want NIA’s shoes ASAP!!!! Everyone looks great!
Love Will and Jada they are Black Luv at its best!! Everyone looks GREAT!!
They all look good.
Will and Jada have always been my fav and most respected hollywood couple…I hope they last 4eva…There is so much color up there, lots of peeps taking risks with that, some peeps pull it off , Tia, Tatianna, Sally, Kerry but most fail miserably,Garcelle, Lynn, Laila….Its good to see everyone out though…
Everyone looks nice….
Ms Ross looks like a damn clown wit that white asz eye shadow above her eyes!!
It is wonderful to see a group of “CLASSY” Beautiful Black Women. Everyone looks GREAT. Not a skank in sight. We need to see this more often!
TRACIE ROSS KNOW THAT YOU CANT WEAR THE SAME SHOES TWICE TO A CELEB FUNCTION.GABBY IS A CUTE SISTA ,BUT A LITTLE TO FULL OF HERSELF.I GIVE CELEB PROPS,BUT REMEMBER PEOPLE THIS FOLKS LOOK LIKE THIS BECAUSE OF MONEY NOT BECAUSE OF NATURAL BEAUTY. TAKE THE WEAVE,VERNEERS,LYPO,AND MAKEUP AWAY. YOU HAVE SOME H.A.M ON YOUR HANDS.
Is it the way Tia is standing or does she have on flat sandals?
Tom & Katie? Oddballs, no?
Tracee Ross looks like a psycho in that picture! Sorry.
Laila Ali’s on her second husband…why she gotta be a lesbian?
Every black women doesn’t wear a weave….Jurnee, Laila, LisaRaye (well, this time) Tracee Ross, Tracey Edmonds and Jada Pinkett are all wearing their own hair…..
But I hear you. I just don’t think you get far in Hollywood as a black woman with either natural hair or apparently, your original nose….
There’s nothing wrong with a good weave! Men love big hair, big lips and long legs, IT SELLS, so of course, it’s all over the place. I got NO PROBLEM with it!
Everyone looks nice, except for Tataniya (sp?) Ali and Paula Patton (I’m not a fan of the pokadot dress). Gabrielle needs sit sat down. This is not a photoshoot for Black Men magazine.
I must say Sanna is working the hell out of that dress.
Everybody looks good overall. I’m scratching my head tryna figure out whats going on with Tia Mowry and Tatyana Ali though.
everyone looks great!
will needs a haircut. and jada looks amazing!
i love lisaraye’s dress. and tomkat look nice.
great event!
tom and kate are loopy! i bet he mentally or physically beats her- she acts like a zombie nowadays and their baby looks chinese! what a confused couple
jada and will are gorgeous- and to the person who commented on weaves in hollywood- that is jada’s REAL hair.
ravens makeup is the wrong colour, and tracee looks like corinne bailey rae in that pic
Oh so tired of Gabrielle, DAMN chick does NOT miss an industry event. She should at least have something to promote…she is the black Paris Hilton.
She should be hitting the trails to find someone to put her in a movie or something….this is getting real old Gabby.
You fabulousness has expired!!!
Black people are so beautiful!!! I mean wow!!! Everybody looks good, but I must say, Tracee Ellis Ross, what’s up with dem shoes girl???!!!
we seen tracy rock those shoes before right?
LMAO @ 33….Black Paris Hilton – as much as I like Gabby, you aint never lied smh..
Wait, I thought Eva L. was Will’s co-star in HITCH not Paula Patton. Maybe Im wrong and I just cant remember her in the movie. Correct me if Im wrong…
Everyone looks good! But is Tia wearing sandals?! Anyway…Sanaa & Lisa look especially stunning imo!
everyone really looks great. yeah black people.lol
I don’t have anything bad to say and that’s a first….
love tracey’s shoes!!!!
@37…Paula Patton was in Hitch for about 20 seconds. The bar scene when he handed her money to get him a drink thinking she was a waitress. It ended up being a pick up line.
definitely a good-look
@#14, i agree i am sooo tired of seeing the straight/tousled weave on every black woman. change it up. we were blessed in the sense that we can wear our hair curly, kinky, wavy and everything in between, why do we have to mimic what’s hot for white hollywood women?
About time some of these underRATED women get some shine!
Happy Black History Month
Oh, and @37 again, it was Eva M (as in Mendes) not Eva L (as in Longoria) who was his co-star in Hitch.
raven looks gorgeous!!
Why the hell was Superhead there. I don’t care if she was dress classy. A hoe is still a hoe! Who would extend an invitation to her. I am disappointed in Essesce. As far as Tom & Katie, I don’t think any black awards dinner and banquet is exclusively for blacks. Tom & Katie do have close black friends. Lets not forget that Tom has a black son that he and his ex-wife adopted.
Will Smith si the only man i would rape, if I could.
OMG, why are you so FINE!! Will, please, give me one chance!
Ruby Dee is so fly rockin the blue outfit and the shades on!!!

I absolutely love Wendy Raquel dress, shoes, and handbag with that being said: Sanaa, Nia, Gabrielle,and Jada also look fabulous.
sanaa’s dress is the best, loves it!
wendy’s outfit is very cute
salli ‘s dress is pretty
ima need for gabrielle to turn around so we could see the whole outfit, but the back is looking fierce
jurnees dress gotta go, too grown lookin for her
the belt around ravens dress makes the outfit tacky!
vivica looks same ol same ol, nothing different
im very disappointed in tracee’s lil get up i must say, just plain UGLY from head to toe. she usually does better…
WILL SMITH IS FIONE!
I gotta give it up to Tom and Katie; they are lookin FIERCE together. Can u say COORDINATE? LOL!
I’m tired of seeing Gabrielle at EVERY event! When does she work?
Tracy Ellis Ross is my girl but that outfit aint cute, sorry
Everyone else looks nice tho!
lisa raye not in a white? ohmygosh. im glad she changed it up. she looks nice. and so does everyone else. im just wondering why tom and katie were there?
Everybody look nice.
Essence Magazine should’ve did this a loooooooooonnnnnnnnngggggggggggg time ago.
Pretty much everyone looks good, Tracey looking kind of silly after the whole Eddie thing
Black folks looking great
Why did TomKat’s cult worshipping asses follow Will & Jada there….????
