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!!!

>>>>>> look at ruby she a g.. gabby look hot new orleans did her body good…. raven is smokin.. stars a star.. so many ladie slook at will and paula
>>>> aww:) JADA IS FIERCE. laila marriage life is good
?? wendys dress is nice..nia so hot.. sanna been making rounds
>>> i cant 4 raisin in the sun..LYNETTE IS SO PRETTY EVER SINCE
>>>> 4 ever especially cheetah girls lol

>>i like the first one thats the only one i saw!!

lisa looks good in pink

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….????

@ 37

You’re right. His co-star was Eva Longoria not Paula Patton. If I’m not mistaken the last movie Ms. Patton co-starred in was Deja vu with Denzel Washington.

@37 My Bad.

@46 It was Eva Mendes, I don’t know what I was thinking.

Tom and Kate are there because they are BFF with Jada and Will, and that’s what friends to, show some love.

So ignorant on our behalves, because they are white, they should be at the Essence? wow people are funny

Will is aging. I know raven dresses to fit her body but I am sure there are more styles she can rock. She always wears those types of dresses/tops that flare at the elbow and bottom. At least she is not dressed in black this time

Nice to see Raven out

SANAA LATHAN DRESS IS HOT. I LOVE IT!!

WHAT IS UP WITH TATIANA ALI? SHE LOOK A HOT STEAMY MESS. SHE LOOK LIKE SHE WAS ON THE WAY TO THE GYM AND SHE RAN INTO WILL SMITH AND HE SAID “YOU NOT COMING TO THE BLACK WOMENS ESSENCE PARTY”? AND SHE JUST JUMPED IN THE BACK OF HIS CAR AND RODE WITH HIM THERE.

SHE LOOKS A HOT MESS!!

GABRIELLE IS THE BLACK PARIS HILTON. PROBALY WHY SHE IS DIVORCED. SHE IS THE ONLY ONE STICKING HER BOOTY OUT FOR A PICTURE. SHE IS CUTE BUT ………..WHORE!

Yeah will and tom are REALLY close. WIll left the set of” I AM LEGEND” TO GO TO TOM AND KATIES WEDDING!

TOM CRUISE SEEMS REAL COOL LIKE THAT

RAVEN: YOU NEED A TAN ON DEM LEGS…..

TATIANA: YOU LOOK LIKE YOU SHOP THE SECOND HAND STORE.

Tom Cruise is only there at the behest of his “friend” Will Smith, that lesbian demon Jada Pinkett, and to see how many other simple black actors he can recruit into that Sciencetology.

lol judah except for ‘lesbian demon”. How many kids does Jada has, How long is she married with Will? What makes you think that she is lesbian?? Bisexual maybe but Lesbian??

Gabrielle union should open a Public Relation company because she probably knows every single balck people in Hollywood lol, she is EVERYWHERE but still beautiful and JOBLESS!!

Eva mendes was in hitch not paula or eva longoria. Why can’t Tracee look better? Goodness! Kerry Washington’s face is soooo annoying and can she smile in any of her pics? She doesn’t have to try to hard all the time.

Everyone looks good

!!!!!!!!NO jada has on a weave look at the shinny part –yesh she do..and that marriage is over she look like she is just hanging on….I bet they are scientologists….I give that marriage 3yrs maybe…….Traci Ellis Ross needs a stylist this dont look good she look like whatever happened to baby jane…(for those of you over 30) this not a good look…oh I thought raven simone was pregant….just because she thick and not hoochied out then folks is jealous

Jada looks gorgeous. She hasn’t been pretty to me in a longtime, but she looks youthful and happy.

Paula Patton was in HITCH for 10 minutes. She was the girl in the bar that Will bought the drink for before he met Eva’s character.

All the women look good. But decent movie roles would be nicer than luncheons and awards.

Tom & Katie can go wherever they want lol and them being there will help this event get media coverage, plus the Smith’s and the Cruise’s seem to be buddies.

Sanaa and Nia are so gorgeous! It’s ridiculous! Gabrielle, Kerry, & Laila look so pretty! Where is Paula Patton’s baby bump? Oh yea, guys, Paula was in Hitch by the way…she was in it at the very beginning in the club scene, I think. But that was only like for 5 minutes of the movie, if that…

I hope tom cruise dont try and disturb anyone wit that scientologist mess.

I think this is a beautiful thing! I love when great people are recognized. In the up coming years Essence should have a black women in the regular world luncheon. No sarcasm I’m dead serious.

I saw this on globalgrind.com. I think it is great that Essence is honoring women in Hollywood. It is very difficult for women in Hollywood especially if you’re Black.

@mocha honey that’s jada’s hair. i don’t know about you but my hair looks shiny when it’s healthy or when i put a product in it.

Thank you # 48! Tom & Katie are obviously close to Will and Jada and just b/c they are not black does not mean they don’t have the right to be at a black event. It would be nice to see a lot more of this in Hollywood. Obviously they are supporting their friends and supporting blacks and what we do. I like Tom and Katie, people always speculate but we don’t know what’s really going on w/ them. They seem happy and in love. Good for them, they look cute, and her shoes compliment his shirt and tie.

Paula Patton was also in Hitch. The movie starred Will and Eva duh, but Paula made an appearance.

Him and Jada have known the actress before the film. Don’t read too much into things.

Everyone lookd good especially Mr. and Mrs.Smith.
agree with #3 The guy w/ Ruby Dee is looking good as I don’t know what

Oh Gosh, I LOVE the star power going on here. And I Absolutely LOOOVE Will and Jada!!

Gabrielle union looks beautiful

Eceryone is saying why is hse posing like that, she posed to show the back of her dress, and there are other pics of her showing the front, but nobody posted them

WOW this looks so beautiful everyone came out and looked great…i luv will and jada thats the ultimate couple ppl in hollywood should take notes

How do u guys know JADA aint wearing a weave??? LOL
She probably got on a good Weave

And its nothing wrong with these Black women wearing weaves, hell as much shit they do to their hair, all these women would be BALD lol

VISIT “LETTERS OF SEDUCTION” NOW, AND SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BLOGS

Now this is my type of party!

Everyone looks maaaah-va lous!

Love Will & Jada..although I’m not feelin Jada’s dress..polka dots yuck!!

Love love love Nia! Sanaa looks gorgeous!

Tracey Edmonds looks lovely!! Lovin her shoes!

Love Raquel’s tude! She always rocks just cuz of her ‘tude!

Kerri Washington love the outfit don’t like the new face…. something went wrong in the cheek and nose area!! Still love her though!

90% women of Hollywood wear weaves. Its convenient. Versatile and an improvement… And there is nothing wrong with being improved… Some of these chicks have broken edges and damaged hair. So, If they were really on camera you all would be dogging them out of how bad and unhealthy their hair may be…

And Yes Jada has a weave in her hair now. Its Yaki Human Hair, # 1 by Zuri…LOL … I really don’t know the maker of her weave….

i guess the only qualification to be invited was if you were a black female who has been in a movie. every black actress was there

Gorgeous Women! I likes a lot.

Oh yeah, gimme Tia, Sanaa, and Nia. Too hot!!

I can’t stop smiling. Everyone looks so good!

Sanaa is a perfect, just so pretty.

Jurnee, love her, i see her man questlove wasn’t there.

Nia , Tracee, Tracey Edmonds, Even Star and Vivica look so great!

And Will and Jada are royalty!

I’m not a big TomKat fan. But I have to give it to them they put their outfit together well.

Now “that’s hot”

Jada is gorgeous!!

everyone looks nice (even Tom n Kate…????)

Katie, Tatiana, and Sanaa are workin’ it!!!

Jada’s dress is the BUSINESS!!! WOW… very very very beautiful. Good pick girl! good pick!

Jurnee Smollett and Lynn Whitfield should have switch dresses. Lia Raye is cute, although she should have worn Louboutin pumps in pink or light gold satin, instead of those sandals. Jada was on point, even with the funny brown belt.

Will and Jada looks good it needs to have more couples like that.

OMG all of them look stunning!!!!!!!

Wow, not a single ounce of hate on this. Everybody’s looking damn good!

Something about Sanaa Lathan seems so forced, fake, phony

Nia Long is flawless, always… love her!

Please tell Gabby that over the back/ shoulder pose only works for Paris Hilton

Wendy Raquel Robinson is my bitch! LOVE HER! Tasha Mack bitches!

Jurnee Smollett, usually stunning, failed me this time

What damn prom is Lynn Whitfield going to?

I guess Tom, Katie, Will, and Jada really are BFF’s?

Tracey Edmonds aka THE ULTIMATE GOLDIGGER!

Tracee Ellis Ross looks like a clown in everyway!

Kerry Washington is so stunning, so chic

what role did Paula Patton play in HITCH

what role did Paula Patton Played in HITCH ? bc i don’t remenber her in that movie

Everyone’s outfit was nice but the shoes were the UGLIEST thing in this post! Loved Gabrielle’s makeup (even though we only got a side view).

Sanaa has just been having that glow lately!! every event she looks hot…she must be in love

everybody looking fab!! sistas are representing!!! except for Traci Ellis Ross

Why are black people so critical? We’re too hard on each other and it’s so wrong. If ever there was a time to lift and encourage one another…..it is now. All of us have different tastes in style and fashion, so let’s not be so harsh with our words. This was a lovely affair for black women in Hollywood. Let’s leave it at that and remember no one gets it right all the time. I love black people and how we do what we do. Let’s just stop hating!!!

Kerry Washington will never be cute to me. She has those fish lips or trout pout.

Jurnee isn’t cute to me either. Her jaw is extremely wide. She always looks like she has rocks in her mouth.

I love that Tom and Katie came out to support their friends.

T@380 AKAK New yorker: hat isnt Jada’s hair. She has weave or hair pieces in.

What has Salli Richardson been doing? I see her hawking RB cds for with her hsub Dondre Whitfield. IS she doing local theatre in Cali ?

I think this is a fantasic platform for women of color.
WILL & JADA GREAT JOB, keep up the good works……………

ps. have a blockbuster animation feature piece Holla…………
