Essence Ladies Luncheon 2009: Four the Hard Way
Posted by Bossip Staff
Eva Pigford-Gross, Tia Mowry, Lauren London, and Kyla Pratt all attended the 2nd Annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon. Everybody and their momma was there, literally. This one is a hard choice for anyone to make, but we gotta ask.
Out of the four young Hollyweirdians…Which young lady looked more bangin??
Pop it to see over 30 pictures of Halle, Anika Noni Rose, Taraji P., Kerry Washington, Jurnee Smollett looking all grown up, and a gang more…

EVERYONE LOOKS NICE

Great post!!!
=====
After the exposure of the news Rihanna gave Chris herpes, a online dating site named”^==== Herpesloving com====’s member increase quickly. The users on that site said Rihanna has an account on that site.
They all look really pretty.
I love yellas
They all look good.
Can Mo’nique shave her legs please?
I guess they all took posing 101…except the chick to the right. She is the only one that doesn’t have her legs crossed.
Is it me, or does Tatianna Ali look pregnant? I’m just sayin’.
@ Aunt viv
Omg! ur right, wooly mammoth legs
Monique and her Shetland Pony legs…
Morning Re (Blowing kisses at your pic)
@ RE
LMAO!!!!!!!!ROFLMAO^^^^^^^___________FLATLINE!
Great girls!!!

D E A D! U silly for that one!
All the ladies looking real nice! I can dig Kerrys lil get up
Whys LisaRaye everywhere as of late????? Just wondering… mhhhh
@Mz Cee and bg
Lol, I mean really. I guess if you have light hairs…maybe one or two here and there, okay. But when they are curling up, and showing up on your body in crowds…
I straight bust a nut on this pic. I just saved it to my computer. DAYUM.
@Pimpin Willie
Lol, hey there! I’m in and out…on my grind with this work!
@Man Man Man
as silly as ever!
Black is so beautiful….Halle looked the best! Her hair, dress, shoes, bag everything is on point. Kerry and Taraji looked beautiful as well.
The young four-some all look good, but where was Gabrielle Union..probably at some NBA game(smh)
Proud of to be a Beautiful Black Sista…they represented lovely
I love Mary, Mary….but one looks like she is going to bible study….i’m just saying (I tried to leave before I said something negative, sorry)
They all look good, just for being black women standing united
Hey bg, Re, Pimpin’, cee
We should take up a collection for a deluxe shaving care package from Gilette for Mo’nique. This is not the first time she’s rocker her furry limbs with a formal dress. She’s a frequent offender.
**putting a dime in the plate and p*****ing on**
Lauren London doesn’t look 4 months pregnant to me bossip.
I need to get invited to the 3nd Annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon. How do i RSVP?
@Swag-a-licious
yep you know it, Gabby gotta get that NBA money!
*rocked*
Beautiful black women! All of them are just exquiste both in acting and dress!
My only concern is why did it look like Monique had no eye brows? Meagan Good’S hair needed to be pulled up to show that flawless smile, and Tamara from Sister Sister gain some good weight!! LOL go girl! Its nice to see Kyla Pratt and T. girl from Fresh Prince dress so cute..
Hey I want to see all of these beauties in some good movies together…
Man the sister sister twin is looking real lovely. I wouldn’t mind trapping her with some kids lol.
@Aunt Viv (he-ey!)
shoot, lets make that the new “brazilian wax method” for legs!
@told you so
you know you right, hook me up too – we needs to go – it looking rather nice there….
Everyone looked lovely. I’m wondering what Mo’Nique has against Epilady, Remington, Nair or just a plain old Bic.
Viv
It will start to warm up soon, lets see if she will shed here winter coat first
Everybody is lookin nice!
@ Truth
Cuz all of her eyebrow hair is on her *****ing legs! I can only imangine how unkept that “undercarriage” is
@bg
It’s probably “peasy” or really curled up…something you’d see on a cheap *****o flick…
@bg
Cuz all of her eyebrow hair is on her *****ing legs….
————-
LMAO
Ladies all like to join _____Millionaire Romances com_____. I really do not know why? Just cuz many wealthy men and celebrities there? or the men there are all handsome?
LOL @ bg -you silly!
@cee,
I think the brazilian wax method would be even better! It lasts longer, which would be good for Mo’nique, since it’s clear she forgets to shave.
I refuse to contemplate undercarriage overgrowth this morning. Ick.
@Aunt Viv
Hey girl! And I agree with the Gillette comment…
@ re
Ha! like she rolled her pubes with toothpicks
…and can someone pls. tell Meagan to get rid of the Kim K. wig, not a good look! She need to show more of her pretty face!
She probably thinks its alright because her husband doesn’t mind. I know sometimes I get lazy, but I have fine hairs on my legs…so I get away with it.
It’s just really feminine to be shaved…it makes me feel clean! I’m not sure why anyone would want to rock the wolverine look, but okay.
@bg
straight nasty -> I strongly believe she and T.I. might look alike in the pube area!!!
@bg
LOL! Or threading needles…look like Lambchops hair…who wants Lamb hairs on their body? Not I…says the cat…
Omg I’m crying at my desk, this is too funny
LAMBCHOP *SLAPPIN MY KNEE*
EVERYONE FOR THE MOST PART LOOKS NICE. LAILA COULDN’T PUT ON A DRESS, PENCIL SKIRT, OR EVEN A PANTSUIT. W*****UP WITH THE JEANS?
@bg
LOL, I’m not going to lie, I laughed too…lol!
@Lady A
Hey girl!
@Lady Architect
She prolly thought “Im an athlete” – we dont do the dress! haha, just saying… they all do look nice!
They ALLLL look great, with a few exceptions…
Meagon Goode…. That awful purple dress is horrible, they should be burying someone in that mess…
Kim Coles looks a mess….
Monique’s dresss is pretty bu w*****up with her face??
I say the best dressed was…
1) KERRY WASHINGTON….SHE LOOKS ABO*****ELY STUNNING
2)HALLE BERRY….CL*****IC
3)VA VA VIVICA FOXXY!!! SHE LOOKS GREAT!
4)EVA, THE SHOES THE DRESS THE HAIR, ALL ARE PERFECT….
Black is touching..
***** photo
I think Eva could command me to do ANYTHING. She lookin that dayum good.
When Tia Mowry is the ugliest chick in a picture of four you know that there is straight bangers in the pic.
No one can even touch Halle Berry. She is out in the stratosphere. So for us mere mortals, Eva is the best. Everyone else including Tatyana Ali who often looks jack up looks amazing. Nice job ladies…
Why does Kyla Pratt still looks like she’s 13 yrs old?
One on One!!! you kno!!
=l
I LOVE BLACK WOMEN!
They all look great. Laila-Ali should have dressed more appropriately, but she still looks good. If I had to choose, I would choose Halle and Eva.
Lauren and Eva look the best in the above pic.
Side note:
1) I’m SICK of Lisa Raye!
2) Did Tyrese not know what the dress code was? *rolling eyes*
Where is Gabby? And Kim Elise? and Aisha Tyler? Or either of the Reginas? The more I look at thephotos of these events the more it’s clear that most of these chicks can’t afford stylists (except for Halle).
Are you sure that’s not Tamera?
DAYM this is where i need to be cause everybody was there with their swagger on Ultra. Everybody looks daym good with the worst being Meagan good and Kyla pratt. Halle blew that shyt out the water, her dress is fire and kerrys outfit is off the chain. I love the way joans does red lipstick so right. there is something all wrong about lauren lond’s grill piece
O and its funny how Laila can come in jeans and still look just about as good as the other women
So Laila Ali really didn’t feel like dressing up that day huh with the JEANS ON!!!!! All the women I saw had on dresses or skirsts and brought their cl*****y games to this event and Laila Ali and Tyrese Gibson shows up in JEANS??? Come on now!! Yall can do better than that!!! You can’t tell me she didn’t feel horribly underdressed with everyone else being dressed up and glammed up in there.
@bg
@ Truth
Cuz all of her eyebrow hair is on her *****ing legs! I can only imangine how unkept that “undercarriage” is
——————————————-
yOU GOT ME LAUGHIN HARD…… haha so true.. its like a forest on her legs..
Mo’Nique does not shave her legs because she does not want to. She’s said more than once that she doesn’t do it. So, mentioning it is pretty redundant. And I wouldn’t venture to worry about how her “under-carriage” looks. That’s minding someone elses business, for real. Just make sure you keep your nethers the way you want them and keep it movin’.
They all look like strippers going to church. Next.
Uh…What the HELL was ole Quincy Jones ***** doing there?! He verbally admitted on the Oprah show how he found non-sistas more attractive!
Tired old geezer just using us sistas for some shine when he need to be home changing his weird ***** looking girlfriends diaper!!!!
…
Everyone looked really nice!!!
Stand outs for me were: Keri Washington, Halle Berry, Eva, and Sanaa Lathan. (They perfected the total look!!!)
Monique’s Legs??? (Wasn’t she the 1st head-master of Charm School??? If so, I can’t tell…that is no cl***** at all!)
Kyla Pratt > Needs a touch up around her edges & she need to stop wearing makeup out of Duane Reed/CVS/Rite Aid & hire a makeup artist to come to her crib!
My god…beauty everywhere. Next Essence event I’d love to sneak in as a waiter…
Top 5
1. Halle
2. Lauren
3. Lisa Raye
4. Kerry
5. Eva
* Meagan can always get it!~
oh sh*t…Lisa Raye shares 3rd with Sanaa Lathan!
Eva Pigford, Lauren London and Kyla Pratt are very pretty girls.
Everyone looked great!
Tichina Arnold- Her suit is really lovely
Wendy Raquel Robinson- has a lovely figure
Holly Robinson Peete- I’m proud to say I see the resemblance btwn her & me; she’s always beautiful!
Lauren London- Gosh what a beauty!
Laila Ali- Natural beautiful woman- even with jeans she looks perfectly pulled together.
Halle- Sorry but she’s over rated Laila Ali looks better IMO
Kerry Washington- Fab!!! Giving them NY Fashion week style
Sanaa Lathan- Starting to come across as plain jane w/ simple style
its nice to see so much black beauty in one place.
Where in the world was….
Nia Long?
Jada Pinkett?
Aisha Tyler?
Gabrielle Union?
Keshia Knight Pulliam?
Raven Simone?
omg tia and eva look sooooooooooo good!! i love em all tho!!
I guess my previous post was too much. Suffice it to say, may we be allowed to see every shade of beautiful Black women? Guess not.
Black is beautiful!!!! Everyone looks great…
hey now been missing lil london. scratch or edit out the other three where’s their spizzas? ain’t none London thats that ***** right there.
I think Eva has officially surp*****ed Halle Berry as the nicest chick out there.
I think Quincy Jones is lost. Doesn’t he know there are no white women there!lol
Aww the ladies are killin it…stunt on ‘em ladies!!!
Is Tia pregnant?
lauryn looks more natural in the face!!! Tired of seeing to much fake Hollywood!!!
Why do ya’ll sweat people like Halle who have been under the knife? It’s like asking who is your real life hero and you say superman idiot!!
they all look nice!!
Stunning, all of them!
and can I just say these ladies know how to work their legs… all those chicken leg and calf-less twits, best look and learn.
All look beautiful, and not one has a blonde wig or blonde hair,
and laila gets my vote as well.
Nia long will always be my favorite though!!!!
Tameka needs to talk to Laila about how to get back in shape after having a child in your 30s. I’m sure laila’s regimen is working out and dieting.
lovely black people
Ohh.. I wish I was in the middle of that pic….
top quality black sistas I Sleffo Lord!
I have a question.
Why are 3 of the 4 chicks in the main picture crossing their legs? Is that a way to pose for pictures? Should I stop doing my B-Boy arm-cross and squat pose?
HAlle is fire as Usual!!!!
As usual Bossip has zero style insight. Halle was the clear star of this show.

@wifey06
I have to agree with you on Halle. I do think she’s beautiful BUT i’m sure she has had some work done. Botox at the very least.
Beautiful ladies.. just beautiful.. ALL of them..
who is the chick on the right with the wide head?
BEST DRESSED LIST
1. Halle
2. Kerry
3. Jurnee
4. Lauren
Halle is black and she has beautiful skin and as a black woman she is aging gracefully. I don’t believe she’s had work done and if she did she found a wonderful, wonderful plastic surgeon and needs to p***** his/her number on to some other white actresses! People hate on Halle but I think she is maintaining very well to be over 40. She will always be very beautiful to me, but there are other examples of beauty out there too. It’s not her fault that white media latched on to her and made her the face of beauty for black women. She’s very beautiful but as many posters have stated there are other very beautiful black women in entertainment and in every day life that we may feel are even more attractive than Halle. It’s not Halle’s fault that the media has dubbed her “the most beautiful.”
I AGREE MAN, EVA the Diva, that sista is flawless!!!! but they all are BEAUTIFUL…Kayla is young adult appropriately dressed… she’s a cutie.
Wendy Raquel ROBINSON, is TOP ON MY LIST OF GROWN AND SEXY. I am always saying that as we age we need to know what makes us still sexy and beautiful without looking desperate and young. Well this is what I mean, you do not need to show your *****-ets in a young girl– trying to hard– Mariah Carey way. Take a good look ladies the next time you are at the junior section trying to find skinny jeans, mini-dress and a half top, pu-lease.
wow what a group. those 4 young girls are all so gorgeous. my God. but where the other twin be at? damn I only be seeing one lately.
not feelin’ kyla pratt but everybody else looks nice..isnt lauren london supposedly 3 or 4 months pregnant? she is not showing
beautiful black women..they all look very nice…
AWWWWHHHHH LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL BLACK LESBIANS….
DAMN!!!! All the fine ***** Black women, i wish i was there
3 beautiful ladies…and then there’s ghetto Lauren London
@lala lol
All of the ladies looked beautiful, but Sanaa Lathan is my favorite. She always looks nice. It’s nice to see all these black sistas in one gathering.
Eva then kyla then lauren then the twin
buaaahhhhh wtf
THEY ALL LOOK NICE
best looking of eveing …Eva Pigford
SORRY BUT THE EVA GIRL IS NOT WHERE IT IS. HER BODY LOOKS LIKE A MAN AND HER ATTITUDE STINKS. AND SHE HAS HAIR ON HER CHEST. TARAJI IS BOMB!
Lauren easily it ain’t even no competition!
I would put up that All-Star team up against any Puerto Rican, Dominican, Indian, European. Everyone looks Fab, minus the hairy legs.
Eva, her features are just amnzing! I dont understand the hype around Lauren, she just looks like every mixed girl! she is a cutie with dimples but her features are the most ordinar! Now Halle, Eva, even Sanaa are extra beautiful to me!
oh and my girl kerry! amazing too!
WHAT DID TYRESE’S BLACK ***** THINK HE WAS DOING. ***** LIKE HIM MIGHT GET TO ***** HALLE WHEN SHE GET 67.
Halle still tryin’ to get back in w/ the Black peep, huh.
all the women look beauitiful, halle does dont look the best she just look regular to me i do think halle is pretty but not even close to the most beauitiful she is pretty but she is half white i am all black she doesnt represent my beauty.and thats just keeping it real.
kyla baby, brastrap? really? you shouldnt even be wearing that kind of bra with that.
my vote for the twin. Do ya’ll realize how long she been in the game? Do you remember where you were when Sister/Sister came out? do you remember roger?
