The bag is nice….Estelle, not so much

Eee gads! Sorry, not pretty.

I think she been watching to much ANTM…Tyra Mail!!!! Lawd that pose in the second pic is so fake…SMH

THE BAG IS NICE AND SO IS ESTELLE FOR A CHANGE!

i love her style….she’s diffy from others

give props when props are due. this is the best Estelle has ever looked. So glad she didn’t let these people get to her and she is still doing her. Great album and still getting that promo money!

Sick of these non-talented tricks getting away with murder because they are what the media deems pretty.

GO ESTELLE!!! Keep doing you!!!

She funny looking.

I love it
And estelle looks good !

LMFAOOOOOO@ that last pic. Estelle was tryin to her sexy on….but didn’t quite work out that way….

This is the best I’ve ever seen her look. She needs to come and sit in my chair.

I was thinking it will make a nice messenger bag..you know something a little sophisticated but at the same time casual chic. I like!

Nice bag. Estelle looks much better than she used to. I think this is a pretty good look for her.

Love Estelle!

get that money gurl

The bag is nice and Estelle is looking pretty: As someone else said..GIVE CREDIT WHERE ITS DUE: Why do some people always hate..I guess coz she isn’t near white like ……..

The bag is only hot when u have the right accessories to rock it like she is here, other than that, its not all that, it’s actually big, lookin like a man purse if it wasnt too golden and all lol and Estelle, make up makes wonder and finally your teeth breathe!
I’d rather listen a girl not that cute ‘tryin to have her sexy on’ but TALENTED than one pretty almost trashy who cant hold a damn note and irritates my ears.
YOU GO STELLE!

not feeling the bag.
sorry.

i THINK ESTELLE LOOKS FABU FOR A CHANGE..
THE MAKEUP & HAIR LOOK NICE.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE PARTIAL TOWARDS HER BECUASE OF HER FACIAL STRUCTURES AND FEATURES. NOTHING THAT A LITTLE FOUNDATION/MAKE-UP ARTIST CAN’T HANDLE.

HELL, IF THE AFRICAN MODEL ALEK WEK CAN MODEL DESIGNER CLOTHES, WHY CAN’T ESTELLE MODEL DESIGNER BAGS..

KNOCK IT OFF PEOPLE!

she looks prtty!! for a change! teeth are A OK! !

luvs estelle, nice bag too

Estelle is looking good. Get it girl. While you people are calling her ugly the girl is still making GREAT music and working with super producers. You calling her ugly is not making her album sell any less anyway. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and i think Estelle looks stunning, just how she looks. She does not need to get any cosmetic surgery to change her looks. The reason why people are quick to judge someone elses looks is because they are not comfortable with there own. She looks different and sounds different to all these photocopied artists out there and the woman is still getting endorsements, while people like us are sitting on our backsides commenting on her looks. I rest my case !

Wonderful Pictures!

Great ad it looks nice

Oh now back to the bag !
You have to have the right look to rock it.
But it can be done. With some nice linen trousers.
A nice white vest top. Some nice gladiators and some gold jewelry and your good to go.

I LOVE ESTELLE. SHE IS SO FLY AND UNIQUE. HER STYLE MAKES U FORGET ABOUT HER TEETH.

Hated it!

I think Estelle looks pretty, the bag is nice too..

I love Estelle! Her style has been hot from the jump! She’s killin’ it in that white outfit! I love it!!!!

the bag is nice

The bag is okay but who will wear a big ass bag like that to the club what you gonna be carrying in that your whole work outfit + your gym clothes + your lunch you ain’t finish from work. LOL seriously they should have thought about putting that up there going from work to day. The only place you can go with that bag is from work, to gocery store, to running earns every except to the club.

she has a big head mannnnnnnnnnnnnn

This ad is classy. I bet you Kelsey’s people had a ball preparing her for this ad. She is everything that a designer finds artfully beutiful from the complection to ther shape. Go Estelle.

She looks nice. decent.

GORGEOUS Handbag!

Great pics and the bag is cute, its a little too much for my taste but its a very nice bag.

One minute people moan when talentless pretty hacks like Cassie are getting sales/record deals solely because of their looks but when someone with actual talent and determination comes along and makes good music but doesn’t fit into the stereotypical mode of “beautiful” people call her ugly! Its ridiculous. Estelle has come a long way, she’s broken barriers especially for black female British artsts so she’s done extremely well. Its no suprise that the industry is saturated with talentless girls who can’t sing when all people seem to care about is image and not talent.

THE BAG IS TO BIG FOR HER!!!

LOL @ 30. Estelle looks so good but they shuda easy’d up on the airbrushin

now who would lug that bag around the nightclub?

She looks great

That’s my girl! She looks fabulous!!! Love the bag. Not sure if I can afford it though.

I like the white color against her skin,She still ugly tho….

LOL at number 30

Thats like taking a suitcase to the club,,, bring your own brinks.. LOL

Nice bag, nice clothes, nice hairstyle, but, Estelle is not photogenic. I dont’ think she’s ugly, its just that she does not photo well. The girl stay styling though.

if she was lighter, ppl wouldn’t hate on her as much. it’s not about her features like some ppl like to say. there’s so much subconscious self-hatred in our community

Go Estelle! You’re doing it real big. Never mind what the haters say, you’re the one making stacks and looks pretty while at it. I dont get why people try to force down everyones throat a narrow minded perception of beauty. I think shes gorgeous and exotic, do you girl.

oh wow i love it!!!! love estelle too, you go girl!

So true #45, so tragically true. Shackles and chains are no longer necessary when your precious mind remains enslaved…

Honestly, Estelle was getting on my nerves! I couldn’t care much about her except for “American Boy” and “Shine” (the song, not album). But after hearing a bit more about her and especially reading her on Twitter she comes off really cool with a genuine character. I might even get her album!

That bag is tacky. Looks like some swap meet mess. Sorry, but shoes and bags are getting stupid these days. Seen shoes with wings, beads and shells and things and these tacky purses costing thousands of dollars and we are in a recession. Sorry, its just Stupid, putting all this glory into stuff like that.

luv this chick! She’s chic and plus, this bag reminds me of that lady who makes purses for like $100-$400 a wop and they ahve all these trinkets on them Kathy Van something

by the way, people are saying that she’s ugly or that she’s been airbrushed…but from what I saw at the HOB here in New Orleans and in person for a autograph, her skin is that smooth and flawless! It’s that dark and she’s is just a bit darker than Naomi Campbell. No, she no Naomi I know , and ya damn right ! She ain’t throwing temper tantrums or cell phones a people and ish so suck it up people and cop her album bc she’s is what’s happening, can’t wait for the Sophomore!

And another thing, some people do wear purses like this to the club! I think she’s just a little small to be rockin’ it. but I bet if they feature this ad in Seventeen Magazine US Weekly, Vogue, it will sell bc she’s lookin’ fierce and the white looks right on the “Chocolate High” sista!

I love Estelle…Her CD is one of the absolute best…love listening while caught in rush hour traffic…the perfect upbeat music…she’s so talented…John Legend did an excellent job producing this true talent…a real artist…we are conditioned to one standard of beauty and that’s the euro-centric beauty…I think Estelle is beautiful, dark rich skin, full chisled features, the stuff that makes Angelina Jolie a prime commodity…we only see it as beautiful if it’ fits into the usual images. She’s quite sultry and definitely a star…since most of us don’t look like white people, we should learn to look beyond looks since we don’t see our own beauty.

She looks so thin but still has that big Estelle head….

@NANZ… yes I like that a lot. Sophisticated with the linen pants but still on the casual side and then the bag will make everything POP!

Estelle is an everyday looking black chick. She’s not model good looking but she certainly isn’t ugly either! She’s a cool chick and talented as well.

How sad that black people can call their own ugly so quickly. No race of people have so little self-worth or pride of their selves.

Estelle looks great!!! Her skin looks great against the white and gold. She has a great rack up top, as well. Glad to see her doing BIG things beyond music. I love her CD.

Her skin is flawless
Love it Estelle, You look Good!

FINALLY-I’m not alone in trying to get US to stop saying someone is ugly cause their not light, bright and damn near white!! I don’t ever hear any other race bash each other like that! Remember-on the plantations, skin hue was used to pit us against each other. There is a lot of residue in our minds until today! Don’t eat garbage (negative), it will eventually come out through your mouth!!

people hatin on Estelle she isnt all that bad come on , i think the only reason people are saying she is ugly is because she is dark skin i think she is good looking and very talented

pure hotness

That bag is the business. I honestly think it is refreshing to see a very afrocentric European sister representing. I lived in London for a while, and it is very hard for darker skined women there and even here in the U.S. to get their respect, yet alone in the fashion industry. This is what we heard from Naomi Campell a few weeks ago, thus, this topic honestly does get some empathy from me. The sad thing is that in Europe, darker skinned women like Grace Jones (who is highly revered in France/Europe) Alec Weak, Naomi and others are marketed more, than right here in the U.S.. If this was Alicia Keys, or even Leona, I don’t think people would be so quick to judge. We support Vogue and media tabloids that plaster “acceptable” cross-over main stream Black celebrities, but not support Jet, Ebony and Essence, in which Johnson Publications are under a lot of pressure to fold soon!!!!! They are the only tabloid magazines that show a “different shade” and focus on Blacks in the media. I hope Oprah or someone comes to save Johnson Publications.

We still have a long way to go, even within our sub-culture of Hip-Hop/Media industry. I mean honestly, sit back and list off how many darker skinned (Lil Kim bleaching her skin to look cauciniod) entertainers/music female artist that have more notarity and popularity, than lighter skinned ones: Beyonce, Ashanti, Ciara, Keri Hilson and then look at artist like India Erie Jasmie Sullivan, Missy Elliot and others who are not more talented than the artist listed above……We need to wake up and understand the beauty that lies within all Black women….Thank God for the First Lady!!! There is hope! Another perfect example is the artist featured on the back drop of this layout…Goapele is from Oakland, but so is Ledisi. Ledisi is just as talented than Goapele, but does not get the same airplay media support as Goapele.

I am not saying that is the ligther skinned artist fault, but we have a responsibility to stop stimgizing our people, and embrace all beauty and talent of all Black women equally in the media. I would like to see more articles threads on people who are idolized in the media because they “cross over” because of their image is more acceptable, than not to post more on artist like Estelle…

So kudo’s to Concreteloop…I honestly love this site, it is so refreshing to see the articulation and intentional threads that opens dialogue and discussion on media and our people day to day! I honestly get tired of other black blog sites, not mentioning any names, and every other day there is nothing but Kim K and her fake cakes posted, and nothing of real value to talk about!

I say do your thang Estelle. She may not be the image or projection of what the industry wants her to be, and this is why I support and love her as not only an artist, but someone who is an individual not being defined or created by the media for the media. But we still have a long way to go my people!!!!

I’m sorry, but a lot of these “designer” bags are just too over the top. Too much going on. I don’t like it.

Beautiful. Black & Proud.

veryy beautiful, & those bags are hott!

People are haters, she looks good!

Good music, but not good looking.

COSIGN 21!
