    Taraji’s mom is so beautiful, you can tell she was a dime in her hay day. Everyone looks beautiful. Except I dont like the way Viv is looking, that facial expression is not cute. Lisa Raye looks beautiful in her dress, I like the color and the cut of the dress.

  4. JstBeReal

    Every beautiful queen of all shapes and ages looks great in these pics.

    -Halle Berry is perfection, I actually love the dress, I would have loved it more if her hair was up giving it a more exotic look.
    -Taraji you go girl, fabulous, and so is your mom.
    -Kerry Washington’ whole look is so fly.
    -Jurnee your dress is so cute, and those shoes I have to gave ASAP.
    -Tia Mowry looks pretty but I hate her new hair too much.
    -Eva Pigford is so exotic looking, I hate the shoes but love the dress.

    Beautiful

    Beautiful, elegant and class Black women… this is the way Black should always be represented! However, I think Sanaa Lathan should be honored and recognized way more because she has played better characters than Taraji, but I love her anyway!

  8. Nyria

    Keri Washington and her funny top lip. Every one looks fantastic until Monique’s hairy legs.

  9. Nyria

    Oh and Taraji looks old in the face, her mom looks younger in the face than she do.

  10. Mr.Q

    Tichina Arnold beat out the other women on the red Carpet.
    She looks the best! She has really stepped up her game. She is making sure no one is talking about her on the red carpet.

    Halle and Taraji have the same mananger… very good. Now they need to have the same stylist or something She dresses like a old women or the clothes she wears fits her like an old lady. Her Mom looks better.

    She needs a makeover…
    She has a Jay Leno face… still pretty though with that said she should go with long hair and better make up.

    She was in the TD Jakes movie and she looked so pretty and she did a very good job!!!

    I will say that she is my new favorite Actress DEF!

  11. Emma V's Great-Grandaughter

    All the ladies look nice and Mo’Nique needs to shave her legs

  12. NikoleRay

    I LOVE IT!!! TARAJI LOOKS AMAZING!….HALLE BERRY LOVE HER WHOLE LOOK…BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

  13. Vee1

    Everyone looks absolutely gorgeous with the exception of a few who look good, but just a little off. Lauren London and Meagan Good are a bit off. Kenya Moore is starting to age, nevertheless still gorgeous I could do with out the blonde hair though.. Halle Berry is just amazing, she is the epitome of beauty and not just a beautiful black woman, but a beautiful woman period.

    Monique looks great sans the hairy legs not a good look at all..it ruined the elegance. I love that dress especially the color.

    My girl Jurnee still looking elegant and classy as always.

  14. ashleyis2cool

    Jurnee’s jaws or cheeks always bug the hell outta me!

  17. marlina

    KERRY WASHINGTON IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!

  18. Greatestloveofall

    I think it’s pretty dayum sad that so many of these beautiful black women haven’t got dates with them. Where are the men to make them girlfriends or wives? SMH!

  19. Raphael

    This pictures are phenomenal. It shows the diversity of beauty within Black women. Young or old, Black women tend to exhibit unrivaled beauty.

  20. FallBackHaters

    Black is beautiful

  22. A&E girl

    Beautiful look! Taraji is just glowing!

  23. Gossip_Gurl

    Oooo, my beautiful black sisters are looking fine! Taraji, Halle, Lauren, Sanaa and Kerry were the real stand-outs for me. And Taraji’s mom is one gorgeous woman! (I can see where she gets it from!) The only disappointment is Monique, who seems hell-bent on not shaving her legs. *SMH* She had such a nice dress on, and then you look down and see those hairy, awful legs. Yuck!

  24. The Truth

    Halle is Flawless!

  25. Junior in Jamaica

    They are ALL looking so beautiful!

  26. tpstar

    everyone looks great! Please tell us who designed the dress Jourey Smollett is wearing, it is beyond fierce. sidebar: about those hairly legs, what happens a few days ( sometimes a few hours) after you shave?? THATS RIGHT!! the hair starts to grow back. No matter how hard we try to get rid of it it still grows back. Medically speaking your skin is the bodies largest organ, its first line of defense againt germs and microganisms is hair. just like the hair inside your nose which catches and holds (untill you blow) onto particles and microrganisms so that they will not inter your respiratory system, hair on the body does the same. when you shave your irritate your skin and make it more vornerable to penetration of chemicals that are in the lotions and perfumes we ware, and germs which mite have gotten cought on the hair on your skin when u cut yourself will now go easily into the wound when the hair has been shaved off. God designed our bodies the rite way, he didnt make a mistake when he put the hair their. It was only our genious idea to change up the blueprint and then say that you are nasty or gross if you dont follow suit with the masses.

  28. Bree-ann-uh Beyonce fan!

    They all look so gorgous and beautyful! “Say it loud”….lol.Dont Tia look kinda pregnant to yall?…or is it just her dress.

  29. WTF?!?!?!

    Monique’s winter coat on her legs will be the physical DEATH of me!!! And why in the hell has Kim Coles hair been the same for the past 15 years?!

  30. lawrence

    Halle is a classy lady~~~I once saw her presonal ad at a celeb site named —richromances.com— where many beautiful people look for fun.

  31. Zion

    @veus, where have you been all my life. Yes, these women represent the new black woman who recognizes that being a sex symbol with dollars taped to their butts is not the ultimate reward in life. Applause, these women are nothing but class.

  32. sistah4real

    KERRY HAS GREAT STYLE OR A GREAT STYLIST. THE GIRL IS ALWAYS ON POINT.

  33. GekkeNeger

    I would have loved to be a fly on the wall at that event.

  36. lovelystar

    Everyone looks BEAUTIFULLLL!!!!!!!!!!

  37. HALCYONC

    This “nude” color everyone seems to be wearing this season doesn’t look good on anyone. It completely washes you out.

    Kerry “FISH LIPS” Washington looks like a black Pebbles from the Flinstones.

    Don’t know what it is,but Garcelle never rubbed me the right way.

    Jurnee “I HAVE ROCKS IN MY MOUTH” is totally overrated!

  38. HALCYONC

    Queen looked flawless as usual.

    Beyonce looks like she wearing bed sheets or a really ugly comforter I had back in the day. I am also really sick of the “mermaid” style dress. Change it up a little.

    Alicia looked alright, but I thought her hair was a little too much.

    I LOVE WHOOPI!! She just doesn’t give a shyt!

    Taraji gets on my last nerve. She is so star struck. Try to act like you’ve been there before.

    Viola, hate the dress, but the fit is great.
