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!
5. Taís Araújo (1978- ), from Rio, became the first black actress to appear as a main character in a telenovela on Brazilian television. She is a presenter on the television show “Superbonita”, about how to be beautiful! More.
6. Adriana Bombom (1974- ) is a Carnival queen from Rio. She was once one of Xuxa’s helpers. What a body! More.
7. Ildi Silva (1982- ) is a Brazilian television actress from Bahia. She was discovered on the streets of Salvador and became a model. She says that in Brazil she is seen as neither black nor white. According to the BBC she is one-fifth African by blood and one-tenth native Indian. Her green eyes are Dutch. More.
8. YaYa Da Costa (1982- ) is an American actress. She came in second in 2004 on season three of Tyra Banks’s “America’s Next Top Model”. She beat Toccara Jones but lost to Eva Pigford. More.
9. Lizz Robbins (1974- ) is an American hip hop model. She was King magazine’s first Web girl of the year and was Jet magazine’s Beauty of the Week twice. Like Bria Myles, she has a sweet smile and a great body. More.
10. Toccara Jones (1981- ) is an American model. She placed eighth in “America’s Next Top Model” in the same season that YaYa Da Costa placed second. She wants to become the world’s first thick black supermodel. More.
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.

When I think of Alek Wek, I keep thinking that people have a hard time accepting her because she is very, very dark skinned with little hair. I think most people won’t admit that. Most people will say it has nothing to do with her color. But I don’t believe that. If Alek Wek had white skin and longer hair, she would be considered attractive by most people. Same features but different skin color and hair. People would be way more accepting of her. We live in a society where people are fixated with skin color. If a woman was very light skinned, then she would be considered beautiful. It is just like Buffie the body. Some say she is not pretty. But she is okay to me. I am not saying she is beautiful, but she isn’t ugly neither. Now don’t get me wrong, I am a objective person. I would not say that a dark skinned person was attractive if I didn’t believe it. If I thought she was ugly, I would say it. I just don’t think that. I have seen light skinned models that were promoted because of their figures alone that I didn’t think were pretty. I won’t mention their names so as not to offend anyone, but all I have to say is that no one is talking about these models in a derogatory way like they are talking about certain black models. Once again, I think alot of people are brain washed. I think people should learn to think for themselves in stead of accepting what other people tell them.
