  5. d

    Keri dress looks cheap..but im sure she paid a lot of money for it, but it’s kind of forever 21-ish.

  7. pleasestop

    Can this grown woman STOP trying to look like Rihanna?

    Seriously. Stop it.

  8. Teli

    That’s a Dolce & Gabanna dress.. $1500. Do you have that kind of money? Didn’t think so.

    Keri looks gorgeous as always. Thanks for these exclusives, CL!

  9. zaina

    ANd who the fuck said she tryna be rihanna or whatever hur name is get over yourself!!!

  10. LEO

    You can put blonde hair on her..

    You can put make-up on her..

    You can put auto-tune on her…

    but if she doesn’t have IT, she just doesn’t have IT.

    A Pig is a Pig.

  11. LEO

    Oink oink, SKeri Wilson.

    ^^^

    Lol! There is something about Keri that is so blah! I don’t know what it is…

  13. april

    everybody in these photos is looking a mess

  14. musiclover

    Keri looks really nice. I don’t think she’s trying to look like RiRi. Just because RiRi has her hair a certain style, it’s not off limits to everyone. No one is just rockin’ a hairstyle that isn’t seen on someone else. Come on people.lol

  15. B

    Hate the blonde, but still sexy.

  16. skinnyredchick(NEWORLEANSBOUND)

    Lol at “Teli”

    Sweetheart Keri Hilson’s not giving you a dime. Chill out and stop getting mad over a woman that doesn’t know you exist. =)

  17. sabrina

    At #8 thank you for stating that ! Keri looks so beautiful and I love the hair as well and the dress . I wonder why so many ppl especially (females) dislike keri hilson . She’s talented gorgeous & music is fire so what’s wrong? lmao at # 6 because I’m sure you shopped at 4ever 21 b4!
    And I’m sure u can’t afford that dress it’s from D&G honey ! Angel looks nice but who’s the melody chick ?

  18. FlyyIAm

    Keri Hilson looks a hot mess as usual
    let Rihanna be Rihanna

  19. Sinni

    Keri, girrrrrllll, when your ass is flat, please stop with the back shots.

    The hair don’t look as bad as it did at the BET awards, but the style is very Rihanna-ish – but that’s Keri in general.

  20. NOTE:

    Her ass is not flat…its small but not flat.
    She looks great!! The hair really compliments her face. She should go for this look more often.

  21. :D

    she is so BASIC. no matter how much she dresses up and puts on pounds of maybeline, she still looks so plain jane.

    this new Rihanna/Ciara look of hers is not working

  22. Yung Gotti

    It should be a crime to be that damn sexy I would love to wake up to a face like that every morning

  23. Queen Bee

    Keri is a beautiful women and talented when it comes to writing songs and etc. But singing isn’t one of her talents.

    The hair style is very Rihanna like but I’m not gonna sit here and say “oh please yeah she coped off Rihanna” Any besides it doesn’t matter..its not like Rihanna invented nor created the many short hair cuts and the blonde hair too.!

    Also, it doesnt even look like the hair style that Rihanna wore b4, their both different styles just with the same color.!! DUH :)

  24. CHUCK

    did Rihanna create a new hairstyle all of a sudden….come on guys…kill that noise. People been rocking that hairstyle..better flip through a 90′s hype hair magazaine…

    and Keri looks better with darker hair IMO…but she looks good..

  25. skinnyredchick(NEWORLEANSBOUND)

    @ Sabrina– I sure do shop at forever 21(for jeans), but am I just a 19 year old girl in college with no job…Keri makes good money..so she should at least buy clothes that look like they’re worth buying. Her dress looks cheap. I don’t care if was 50 grand. It looks cheap and just because it’s “Dolce & Gabbana” doesn’t make it no better.

    Please stop getting mad over a woman you don’t know. It just make you look stupid.

  26. Micheal Green

    ANGEL!!! I am loving that look on you!!!! YOU ARE FLY!!! FLY!!! FLY!!!

    I love the look, the shoes, the skin!!! I give your whole STYLE a 10+!!!!

  27. PoohCandy

    Keri is beautiful and talented. She is holding her own in music and killing most of these girls in the looks department. Keep your head up and keep it moving Ms.KeriBaby. Can’t wait till the new album drops.

  28. DarwinDevron

    Ewwwwww…. Keri Looks awful!!!!!!

  29. DarwinDevron

    Ewwwwww…. Keri Looks awful!!!!!!

  30. conciencia

    I don’t get how people can hate so much. She looks fine. Her hair is pretty, her dress is daring and she has a body to kill for! that’s to you #19 who says her butt is flat….not everyone needs a bubble butt to rock that dress. She is very pretty

  31. CherryV

    i really dunt get how people dont think keri is not talented..the girl can sing her ass off..and she wrote alot of artists songs..she can also dance..so i dont get how people say she has no talent..she looks gorgeous and i actually like this hair color on her..u go keri!

  32. CherryV

    oops i meant” i dont get how people think she has no talent”…

  33. Kyla

    What happened to her?
    She used to be decent looking but now she looks horribleee .. she lost whatever looks (and popularity) she had.

    And just because a dress is a well known brand name/expensive, doesn’t mean it can’t be cheap looking .. like come on now.

  34. Simone

    Blessing to you all

  35. mrs. sk8board p (ak & bk stan)

    Angel, you look nice.. I love melody’s outfit. Why the hell does Keri have that old ass rihanna hairstyle? such a lame

  36. rubin

    can’t wait for her next album. she looks HOT!

  37. JADEN

    Sheesh i never knew Keri Had So Many Haters on Deck??? damn i remember when beyonce had haters galore in the early DC3 days/ solo days…now look at her a “Forxe” so w that said keri keep doing u, worrying about u and maybe you’ll be on that road 1 day too…never take in what the lesser ppl who cant even afford to be there say anyways, they’re just dreamers

  38. JADEN

    Force * mybad lol

  39. Sinni

    lol, Keri’s ass is as flat as a board! Just look at the pictures of her from this past Super Bowl Pepsi event when she had her bare ass out. Noasatall. Look at the back shots (literally) from the BET awards, or hell…just look at these photos–flat!

  40. Recogniiiize

    Whatever happened to her nose tip!!! It suddenly got smaller talkin bout beaks and shit, keri u kno damn well u looked better and its obviously u had a job done on ur nose tip!!! Not ur beak just ur
    nose tip!!!( I looked at some photos)

  41. loves it

    angel is lookin fly! loves the whole look.

  42. Neena

    Angel.. we know how much CL loves Keri Hilson.. but honestly, she’s nothing special, just another Ciara, Ashanti, Solange with an average voice trying too hard to find an image… She should stick to writing songs

  43. France Says

    WERKKK. Her waist… CINCHED. Face… SITTING… The END

  44. Queni

    What designer are the SHADES from that Melody is rocking??

  45. lesa

    I love keri hilson!!

  46. Kaileigh

    Wow!!! She looks great.

  47. Muneca

    look at all that goddamn makeup it kinda reminds me of a shemale …hihihi oink oink

  48. xz11w

    woooooo!!!I came acorss a great hot PLACE.

    If you put “A G E” and “M IN GLE” together, then you will get the url.

    It’s a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends

  49. pojihg

    keri is beautiful, just gorgeous woman, nice body, cute face, but they dont know how to market her or maybe herself doesnt know how to do it, she doesnt if she wants to be riri, beey or ciara! she does have the star factor. The make up is always a mess, her face in the second pic looks like a mask. Other than that, I cant wait for new music, she needs to hurry, in this industry, aa long break is not good, specially when ur career is already fragile.

  50. Tiff.Will. [Tiffany.Williams]

    FAIL at the person who said Keri looks better than Rihanna. That was the Fail of the week.

    Keri looks awkward all the time..her face is just not that flattering. And I totally agree with @21 :D

  51. prissyxXchrissy

    EFF THE BS. Angel those cheetah wedge clonkers you got r FIEEEEEEEEEEERRRCE im in love w em <3

    Ps. Keri looks cute: not really feeling thee hair tho =
    /

  52. kay

    keri looks great, hot dress

  53. Rockie

    I think Keri looks nice

    But she kind of “over did it” with the make up in my opinion.

  54. Help The Gulf

    Angel, please polish your look. I’m a fan of your site and I’ll be honest, you are a pretty girl in the wrong clothes and makeup. You look dreadful and it’s the honest truth.

  55. Architect#1Fan

    Also Pictured is Keith Campbell, Celebrity Hair Stylist and Reality Webisodes” Hair Architect”

  56. MizzJacquetta

    Keri looks nice but…. i don’t like new hair color

  57. truthffullyspeaking

    Teli, you just sound stupid! If you knew anything about celebrities or wannbe celebrities like Keri, they borrow expensive dresses for free! Even big names like Beyonce do it! Anyway, in my eyes, Keri Hilson is ugly and odd looking as hell. She looks like a bird and a lizard. She has a makeup stylist who can give her like 20 pounds of concealer and foundation to achieve a full coverage look. Her face looks nice, but it also looks molded. I can’t stand Keri because of her arrogant attitude, but her skin tone is VERY BEAUTIFUL AND RADIANT but it looks even better because she has such a bright flash on her. She also has a nice elongated shape. I actually think the dress is cute. And for those saying she is so talented, I hear her voice on songs and she obviously gets her vocals changed in pitch and auto-tune (the auto-tune that fixes vocals) because live she sounds mess! She sounds like any ol black girl singing.

  58. TY

    Just accept that Keri is cuter than all of you haters. NO GUY would ever choose you over her!!! Stop hating. She’s really pretty and has an amazing body. Only blacks thing big behinds are attractive. Having a small, shapely behind is a GREAT thing most people of all OTHER RACES!!!!

    She’s STILL HOTT. And this is from a non hating female. I’m too fab for that.

  59. AplMacLady

    keri is a pretty girl, however, her makeup looks one shade lighter than her neck.
