Here are the most beautiful black women models that I know of who are famous enough to be in the Wikipedia. Some of these are too old to model any longer, but all were models once.

Most are either fashion models, like Naomi Campbell, or hip hop models, like Bria Myles.

Hip hop models or video vixens are for the most part too short or have too much of a figure to be fashion models. But their great figures make them perfect for swimsuit calendars, men’s magazines and music videos. They are also known as video vixens.

1. Vilayna Lasalle is an American hip hop model. Her face is perfect. She is part Brazilian and Creole. More.

2. Naomi Campbell (1970- ) is a British supermodel from the 1990s. A great face and great legs. More.

3. Bria Myles (1984- ) is an American hip hop model. She has a sweet smile and a wonderful body. I first saw her in Twista’s “Girl Tonight” and then in Kanye West’s “Brand New”. I could not take my eyes off her. More.

4. Beverly Peele was an American supermodel from the 1990s. I only saw a few pictures of her on the Internet back then, but she was great!

Honourable mentions, listed in no particular order: Garcelle Beauvais, Neferteri Shepherd, Tyra Banks, Tomika Skanes, Anya James, Rojane Fradique, Yasmin Warsame, Oluchi Onweagba, Carla Campbell, Charmaine Sinclair, Kenya Moore, Esther Baxter, Meagan Good and Chanel Iman.

Most would put Iman and Alek Wek on a list like this. Iman is beautiful, but she leaves me cold. As for Alek Wek, she seems ugly to me. I never understood what people saw in her.
