    Everyone looks great except for Ashford & Simpson but that goes without saying. I will give Loretta a pass because Ruby Dee killed it. Hope the movie is good.

      you guys are creeping me out. Why would black people not be able to grow hair long. Good God help them. Stop frying it and take care of it and it will grow to your feet. I wear mines natural and every couple of years I get it press and yes its down my back. I’m just shocked at this questions.

    Wow is that Ciara’s real hair. Can you really grow hair that fast. Looking good.

    Some of the other ladies and gentleman are clearly wearing weaves – no names please.

    @ Denim yes black people can grow long hair naturally or otherwise. Trust me. And no you do not have to be mixed etc. If you do not believe me check out blogs like Moptop Maven, Keep it Simple Sister or Youtube it. In this day in age are people still asking this question??

    The film looks to be packed with a talentented cast & if stays true to the famed works on which it’s based should be an anthem for the people… A must see.

    Everybody their looks amazing. My girl J looks beatiful, Mrs. Huxtable looks simply ravishing, Kerry always looks gorg, Elise Neal looks lovely in her grecian goddess style gown, Ms. Ruby looks just like the jewel that she is, I love Ms. Shanges earrings, Lances blazer coat is tight, Estelles blazer is off the hook, Ms. CiCi looks stunning and her hair and makeup are on point. And last but absolutely not least, Mr. Tyler Perry, I love Tyler sooo much and he looks great! My aunt, mother and myself all are going to see this movie the day it comes out. I cannot wait!!!

    This talented cast of actors, contributors and supporters all look splendid. I AM LOOKING 4WARD 2 THE MOVIE! I am particularly interested in the way Tyler Perry meshes the stories of each womans life. About nine of them?! . . . . . . . . . . . VOTE OR POSSIBLY BE A LOSER. Dont be a loser anyway.

    Estelle would look perfect if it wasn’t for those messed up eye brows of hers. What was her makeup artist thinking. The blazer is nice but it looks cheaply made. Look at the zipper. and there is threads sticking out of it. If I’m gonna pay over $200 for anything it needs to not have threads comming out of it.

    I’m not sure who the Shange lady is but she has lipstick on her teeth. Someone should have told her this. If I had been there I would have wispered in her hear. That’s like letting someone walk around with their pants unzipped.

    The name of this movie is RETARDED! there is no such thing as a coloured person, because that postulates that there is a norm for skincoloures!!! and when refering to a coloured person your base would be a white person and that is incorrect. I mean who coloured this person?? and from what?….THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX PEOPLE.
