I lovvee that cover! Estelle looks great in really quirky clothing. It’s natural and believable unlike Beyonce’s really ridiculous stuff. Did she think we didn’t notice everything about her recent looks has screamed “I’m copying European artists!!!”?

#14 I’m mentioning Beyonce because they’ve worn similar clothes! Didn’t I make myself clear? In fact, she might have worn the same dress Estelle wore in “American Boy”…the really quirky silhouettes and shapes. That’s why but it was obvious wasn’t it? SMH! Beyonce is the person constantly thinking about other people, which is why she’s copying this woman’s style lol

I LOVE the dress and Estelle is very talented unlike other artists who just shows off their tits and ass! (no names..)
Im from London and I am so happy to see this refreshing dark and talented woman make it big. There are so many other talented artists in London like
bashy, beverly knight, jme, so-solid crew, joss stone, leona lewis and more!!
Check out Noel Clarkes films Kidulthood and Adulthood (think Boyz in da hood/Juice Soyj London style - Wicked!)
Dont sleep on us peeps Londons comin up STRONG!

I really like Estelle. She does her own thing without being over the top or ostentatious about it… She’s just so effortlessly herself.

lol. once again someone is always bringing up beyonce. its funny how “GIA” said that beyonce is always thinking about somebody else but this post was about estelle and yet she is thinking about beyonce. such a hipocrite. N.E ways, estelle looks good in these pics and congrats to her success.

I’m happy for estelle, she’s come a long way
but the “saviour of british soul” comment will probably piss white brits off because they still seem to be enraged that she said duffy and adele were not her idea of soul. I don’t think i’d call estelle a soul artist, she’s more r&b and a fusion of several genres.
Either way she is definately one of the best talents to come out of the uk

I love Estelle and love her music. I saw her live and she was incredible, her whole stage persona makes you feel like she’s a friend you’ve known for years. She was a lot of fun in concert.

She’s not ugly. I agree with who ever said that she looks wierd, and I only think that because she’s needs her teeth fixed but she’s not ugly.

People love to hatw on the girl. I bet if she has a lighter complexion, people would falling all over her! When will we realize as long as we are hung up on skin tone, so will others?
BTW Estelle looks great. As someone posted earlier Black in all shades is beautiful. God makes no mistakes.

I wouldn’t call Estelle uglyb(thats just mean)…..but I will she’s a bit unfortunate looking. I don’t really like any of her songs, but she I like her voice. She should have been nominated for New Artist of the Year

lol #11 i thought the same thing lol i had to do a double take. but ye i like most the stuff she wears, usually her shoes. nice voice, hate when ppl compare her to lauryn hill though..THERE IS NO comparison. L boogie down rips it, estelle still has more dues to pay. still sick tho, not denying her of that.

OMG…some people really need to get a life. For real…mentioning beyonce in every god damn topic, claiming she stole that look, or she can`’t sing, should take a break, is ugly, is fat, is fake, is too thin, is tryin to hard, is looking boring..ehhh…enough is enough. If you don’t like her than thats thats, everyone can have an opinion. but some of these comments border on pure hatred and thats sick! ..well..i guess thing will never change…
however, back to the topic. nice pictures. and its really a shame that she did not grab any grammy nomination. just shows how pathetic award shows are these days. I dont know why people take those awards still serious.

I love the styling in these photographs and the clothes.
I don’t think she’s pretty but she’s got a great style and energy and seems like she’d be lovely in person.
Oh well.

@40- FYI-she actually didn’t blow up in the UK until she had a hit in the US. She’d been in the UK charts before but she was relatively unknown. She released American boy in the US before it was released in the UK.

AT #16 - speak the truth girl!! Black UK artists have been slept on for tooo long. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE my american black folks too, but people forget there is SOUL in the UK!! Big up bashy (NW london..!!). and you all need to check out Alexandra Burke from the Uk’s X FACTOR (Youtube..). Special shout out to Bashy for doing a POSITIVE song representing black british achievement…(YOUTUBE IT, it’s called “black boys”).

She’s cute.
That said, when is she gonna have another hit aside from American Boy? Her CD was EXCELLENT one of the best this yeat but come on if she’s not careful she gonna be just another Khia (My Neck My Back?!) who’ll endlessly ride this one track her entire career.
She is talented and she makes great music, but I daresay American Boy became a hit mainly because of WHO was featured on it. It’d be a shame if she doesn’t have anymore success because she works very hard clearly to create a sound for herself.
What she said about Adele and Duffy were true (though I do lieke Duffy). For real, yall calling Estelle ugly…have u ever SEEN what Adele looks like…just plain nasty!

I’m all for black natural beauty, but in the side shot of her on the mag cover she really should’ve done something to cover the black around her lips. She didnt go completely natural on this pic cuz I see she has gold eyeshadow on & fake lashes.

Estelle’s name means “star”! And “Stella” also means “star”. How fitting! She is a true embodiment of her name. I love Estelle’s music, and her style is truly her own.

The profile pic is interesting…
I don’t understand why she must wear 15 bajillion pounds of make-up! I personally don’t think she is that cute because of her odd features. However, she has a vivacious personality and seems down to earth which substitutes for her unconventional beauty.
I HATTTEEE when people automatically assume that a person is ugly because of skin color!!! Hell you can be Black as a tire and be BEAUTIFUL!!! people are so ignorant when they equate beauty to skin shade. It makes no sense! so I assume for those of you who say she is too dark must think that caucasians are the most blinding beauties to grace the earth huh?
