    i’ve always been in in love with Regina…how has no one swept her off her feet yet??? i wish i could

  • DeVanneJuiceeJeniceChinn

    Stacey Dash, Taraji, and TE look amazing… Kenya Moore is another one.

  • moonrose4me

    Black don’t crack!

    • Negress

      It does chip though. You can’t drink, smoke, and run around without it catching up to the face and eyes show everything.

  • Yvonne

    Where’s Janet? I think she’s gorgeous!

    • Imari

      I was asking that myself.

    • chibi

      At the plastic surgeon….she is everything BUT a natural beauty so no she doesn’t belong on this list at all

  • Kiki R.

    Taraji, Regina and Nia are the only ones who don’t look a day over 40. Everyone else does.

    • Lov3lyLady32

      I agree!

  • iReign

    WTH? Angela Basset definitely looks over 40. Good, but over 40.

    • guest

      She is over 50. I am not sure why magazines and blogs do this. A woman in her 40s wouldn’t be considered over 30. Yet, they routinely put women who are over 50 as part of the over 40 crowd. Get a grip! If that is the case, create an over 50 article.

  • Cleo

    Yeah some of these women shouldn’t count. Jada had such a pretty face but ruined it with surgery.

      Thank you!! Does no one notice the fake cheekbones, she looks like a different person. I”m an artistic person so maybe visual changes jump out at me…but all her other work is fine but the cheeks look so fake!

  • disqus_WfmNqv9gsC

    i was shocked at a few of these, wow.

  • Mo

    I think there is a difference between looking good for your age and not looking your age. Most of these women look their ages, they are just attractive, in good shape and take good care of their skin. So they have managed to avoid the ravages of time that, apparently, kick in at 40!

    Most black women who take care of themselves look quite vibrant well into their 40s and 50s

    • Princess Clara

      Black women look younger when they are 50 but when they are in their teens and 20s they look significantly older. It must be due to the hard life and abuse in their childhood.

        Im 23 going on 24 and alot of people still Im 15 years old for some odd reason. I honestly thought I would look older at some point but no. Black people and asian age very slowly.

  • ohreally

    Not fair! As much as I love Vivica, she had “work” done.

    • MsT

      And she’s not the only one…

    • sepia830

      She had work and she looks bad.
