Classy and elegent! Remind me of Michelle Obama and the new standard of African American Women that shows graces and hard work (not the standard where shaking our asses for a few dollards is all we are about).
I see you Taraji P. getting all “Holywood” thin! I hope she or Viola davis wins..
Beautiful, classy, elegant & strong black woman all up & thru this post! Loves it!!!!!
I LOVE SEEING Taraji P. TRANSFORM INTO A HOLLYWOOD STARLET RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES. SHE’S STILL IN TRANSITION, BUT SHE’S CLOSER EVERY EVENT. AND ONCE SHE WINS THIS OSCAR, THAT WILL SEAL THE DEAL.
WOW!!! Halle is gorgeous.. you go girl! Taraji Kerry Tichina Sanaa Tracy Mo’Nique, Vivica Meagan Lauren Tia LisaRaye Kim and Jurnee.. I mean everyone is looking FAB!!!
Beautiful black women all up in this! Not a fan of Megan Good’s dress, or Lisaraye’s weave, but other than that everyone looks great!
Wow Tischina Arnold looks great!
Everyone looks great! Especially Jurnee Smolet & Kenya Moore. That tangerine color is the business.
I just noticed that Tarji’s makeup is a bit off. But she looks good anyways.
Go ladies! Halle’s dress is BEAUTIFUL!
Ladies all like to join _____Millionaire Romances com_____. I really do not know why? Just cuz many wealthy men and celebrities there? or the men there are all handsome?
ALL the ladies look fab. I don’t have one critical thing to say. Our Black women are so fabulous it is not even funny!
What a beautiful post, AND everybody and I mean EVERYBODY here looks good and happy (Monique even gets a pass for her legs). Love, Love my beautful black sisters!
Mo’Nique shave those legs please
They ALLL look Fab, but I really love Taraji dress
Everyone looks FAB!
Tichina and Taraji look fabulous!
Monique DAMN U and those HAIRY legs!!! ugh!…. Tracee Ross…NEVER EVER eVER disappoints!!! (ever) I see u Journee Smolett. Taraji better wear that dress!! Everyone looks Great. YES BLACK WOMEN!!!
First off let me say that I love Essence Magazine. I really want to write for them one day….
Secondarily the ladies look gorgeous I especially love Journee and Eva’s looks. Good job ladies and congrats to Halle and Taraji.
Tatiyana Ali is such a beautiful young lady, but she is not presenting her self well lately, at all.
WHAT, THE F*CK IS UP WITH MO’NIQUE’S HAIRY ARSE LEGS?? OMG!!
Is Tia Mowry Pregnant? She looks pregnant. If so, congratulations to her and her Hubby.
Everyone looks nice. I would really like for Monique to shave her legs.
Taraji P. Mom is so Beautiful!!!
BEAUTIFUL…BLACK….WOMEN!!
BUT Tichina needs a camosal asap (old school word..I know)
The firt Black Miss America (can’t remember her name) is gorgeous..I just don’t like the hair color.
OH Eva and Lauren London are SOO pretty to me!! Work it ladies!!
Oh Tracee is gorg too!
WOO! im loving it, loving it, LOVING IT! everyone looks simply beautiful.
although i have to say im not loving meagan good’s dress too much, and whats up w/ monique’s legs? did she not shave?…thats pretty…uh, bold
and maybe its just that not all the attendees are pictured here, but it really shows how few dark-skinned black women are represented in hollywood, what a shame
Beautiful Black Women in all their glory… Love it!
tatiana ali- mmm no, this makes you look preggers
lauren london- come on girl, u phoned this one in. it looks like u rolled here straight from the club and forgot they were even having the event.
tichina arnold- mostly a mess in the clothes dept but i do love your make up
kenya moore- did u have work done to your face? something looks askew. u certainly didn’t need it, you were gorgous.
monique- quelle horror!! i don’t know what statement u are trying to make but those legs are serving up nothing but “gross”. a beautiful woman like u ought to know better…smh (at a red carpet, no less-uggg!)
*****************now for the winners*******************
Halle – this is a difficult look to pull of between the shiny gold flecks of material and the general structure of the garment but you have managed to KILL IT. bravo!
kerri washington- my absolute fave! to take all those separates and arrange them like that is genius. you OWN this look and you look MAAAHVAALOUS!
Taraji’s momma- so pretty and further testament that good black simply doesn’t crack- work it momma henson!
Tia’s definitely pregnant!
Lovely ladies. All of them!
Look at all those beautiful underrated actresses. We changed the face of America so now it’s time to go in subcategories
-NY POST (FAILED)
-HOLLYWOOD (BEING PROCESSED–MOST LIKELY GOING TO FAIL)
-HOUSING
Everyone looks nice….Megan can try a lil’ harder next time, but I’m glad she didn’t wear those shoes or any of her other fav. 3 outfits
wow, no gabby union lurking on the carpet? she must have heard siovaughn(sp?) wade was gonna be there waiting on that a@#…hmmmm
Wow everyone looks marvelous but always have to give props to Halle who is beyond stunning!!
Wow, They all look GREAT…
Kerry – is stealing the show to me…. Thats the way to wear a unique dress… Usually feathers/fur looks crazy but she looks good…
Lisa Raye and Megan Good look nice as well.
Of course Hallie and Taraji look good… They always do.
Now, I guess its just Moniques thing now not to shave her legs. Other then those legs I think she looks nice as well.
Eva has the only outfit on I dont like at all.
Oh and WHY is tatiana ali at all the hot events all of a sudden? What does she do?
Kerry Washington – Undeniably the hottest one there! She’s so fckn fine!!!
Halle Berry – 2nd best. She would of done a lot better if she didn’t wear that Dress from Tina Knowles fall collection from the House of Dereon
Tatiyana Ali – What a fox.
Tia Mowry – Face always a 10, but showed up dressed like she was a walking mosaic.
Anika Nani Rose – She looks good. Feel bad for her tho. She deserved as much fame from “Dreamgirls” as Jennifer Hudson.
Lauren London – The baddest hood b!tch there!
Meagan Good – Dress like Barney kinda messed me up. Hopefully she is takin on better roles than the one she’s always in. YOU’RE GETTIN NO YOUNGER! SEXY!
LisaRaye – The second baddest hood b!tch there!
Jurnee Smollet – She fine now!
Lauren London looking mmm mmm good
Love love love Kerry Washington’s whole look. All the ladies look nice (well I’m not sure about Megan Good or Monique’s hairy legs) but Kerry is on POINT from head to toe LOVE it!
Is Halle really wearing House Of Dereon ?? Kery Washington looks STUNNING !
I would’ve felt really insulted if Zoe Saldana , Christina Milian or Rosario Dawson
showed up ! The ones who are black only when it’s convenient !
this is how we should always represent! go beautiful black women!
NO HATE TODAY! IMO, THEY ALL LOOK GOOD, EVEN MO’NIQUE W/ HER WOLF WOMAN LEGS…
MAYBE ONE DAY THE BRUTHAS OF HOLLYWOOD LUNCHEON WILL HAPPEN…
oh halle, yes!
Besides Lisa Raye being an annoying publicity whore these days, I have no complaints. It’s nice to see a lot of the black female actress together.
Oh yeah…Taraji has always been thin.
Almost everyone looks amazing especially kerry, halle and taraji. love the dresses! Taraji’s mum is really pretty.
Monique needs to shave those damn legs!!! wtf
@1 i totally agree with you
That’s too much beauty right there!!
Lauren London is so damn FINE! She makes me not even notice anyone else there! Yes she is in a simple outfit but she doesn’t have to over do it. She’s one of the celebs that look good without even trying… I love Sanaa too!
bet the event was a classy & elegant affair……
Love Kerry’s assemble the best here…..with honorable mention to Halle and Taraji-her hair looks super healthy and lustrous too
They all are beautiful black women….Did anybody notice Tia’s Baby bump?
Lauren London never disappoints .. Everyone looks nice for once . Kerry’s outfit is Bad!
Tichina’s Sylist is on Point!!!
Halle has indeed given Taraji her stamp for the OSCAR!!! Get it LADIES!!! MY SISTAS ARE HOLDIN’ COURT IN THESE PICS!!! VERY CLASSY & ELEGANT!!!

Why does Taraji always look so haggard in the face?
Everyone looks fabulous here….
Taraji’s mom is gorgeous!
Halle once again proving that she is the baddest chick around! Stop it Halle damn, give the rest of us a break!!!
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say halle will go down as the most beautiful woman EVER!! There arent enough words to decribe how gorgeous she is and she gets better with age!!
Everyone except the owl (Tracee Ellis Ross) look nice…
THE LADIES ALL LOOK GORGEOUS!!
