I am never surprised when I see these women. They are gorgeous and they do us proud. But can someone tell me why Quincy Jones was in a pic by himself?

why they put quincy jones c he not a woman lol

Vivica Fox looked like Grace Jones in her picture, she looked kind of rough in the face. Everybody else was great though. They had 3 out of 5 of my favorite celebrity women: Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson, and Kerry Washington, they are GORGEOUS

To all the Gorgeous Black Women thank you for being who you are,pray that your life will be good for you. peace

you are right Kerry was killin it, Halle was doing her thang, Eva has beautiful skin. Anyways all of the women shown are beautiful.

Kerry Washington, is a Goddess, she’s gorgeous. If I had 3 wishes. #1 To be rich, so I could meet her. #2 To meet her, that would enrich my life. #3 To be rich, so I could meet her.

We age so well. Damn I’m proud to be a black woman!

Why is Quincy Jones in this???

THESE ARE SO NICE…EVERYBODY LOOKS SO ELEGANT! BUT YES WHY IS QUINCY JONES ON HERE???LOL

“Essence Celebrates Hollywood’s Black Women”

halle berry is half black. shes not black enough to be down with essence in my opinion. :-D amazing how the black community accept everything with a drop of black in em, while white people don’t accept anything that doesn’t have 100% white in em. where so willing to take lifes left overs.

Garcelle is flawless…Megan Good is Megan GREAT!… and Kerry Washington is off the hook!…and Lisa Raye got the best legs around.

For Bklynbadbwoy: To say Halle Berry doesn’t belong on this list is ASININE!!! She is black…in every sense of the word. When you look at her you see a beautiful black woman (despite her mother being white). If you feel she is “lifes leftovers”, what do you think of President Obama??? As a black man you should never want to stoop to “white america’s” low tolerance/acceptance of minorities. Let’s not make ignorant comments. Moving Along====>>> This is a great variety of beautiful, black, and successful women. Why wasn’t Gabrielle Union on here and why was Quincy Jones on here??? SMH!!!

lmao i was just finna comment on why Quincy Jones was on a blog about bout black Beautiful Black women but since yall got that covered i’ll just say this ……..Kim Coles??? wtf?? she’s Pretty but amongst the rest and Tarija?? why are they even on there i’d accept Quincy Jones in that line up before them

you people are pretty inane

Yo you probably got a white trick …. stop hating nugga (Bklynbadbwoy)

wow..what a damn shame..hmmm..eva was probably the closest one to dark skin..wow..anyway..i agree their all pretty in their own way…

To: Bklynbadbwoy
It saddens me to hear you talk like this. You want to know why? This is exactly what people want us to do. To play this game that they have created. Halle is Black and White. No getting around it. It is up to her to decide what she is and what she wants to call herself. Who are you to judge and say she isn’t this she isn’t that? What would make her more white for your standards? Seriously, would you want someone to call you out? Don’t worry about what White people consider Black and White. That’s what some of them want. Work on supporting our fellow brothers and sisters.

*hops off soapbox*

Kerry Washington is pretty but her mouth looks weird. Did she have plastic surgery that went wrong or what? If these pictures are supposed to be showing all sides of black beauty why is every woman so light? Eva and Meagan, who possibly had skin lightening treatments, are the darkest people in the line up. Kim Coles is the only sizeable person on there so they ALMOST got the “Beauty in all shade and sizes” moniker…

I think Quincy Jones couldn’t get enough of Kerry Washington so he had to be in the pics.

did anyone else notice that they put Holly Robinson on number 21??? or am i just too old and know the significance of her and that number…

21 jump street maybe??? no??? ok…

Q need to go somewhere and sit down! Dude look like he about to fall over!!

Ummm… Where is Beyonce?

Beyonce figures on enough lists, she is not the only African American Female in the lime light. Did you not notice the focus of the list was mainly actresses? Let them honor some other women sometimes.

Everyone looks beautiful and Quincy still hanging in there lol!

All these women look beautiful. BUt what happened to Angela Basset, Queen LAtifah, Loretta Devine, Regina King and other folks that would be absolutely beautiful to grace the red carpet?

ummmm screw beyonce, dang she isnt the only black woman, sooo overatted. she is talented but she isnt the best get over urself pls………… i would like to see people who doesnt have to be half clothed to get ratings be shown and give accolades for looking like descent woman 95% of the time. this is going to start some mess but ole well we all know beyonce mother been selling her half naked and tight fighting clothes sfrom the jump even as a teenager no different than the pagent moms

They all looked stunning! Quincy too! LOL. Absolutely stunning!

Halle Berry is still the finest woman in the world!!!
