Estelle

Estelle, who normally takes pics that can make one’s eyes bleed, gets a couple of cool points from us for the new ‘do’ and make-up being on point.  There’s still much room for improvement, but does she get an A for effort?

More pics of Estelle and recording artist, Se7en, at the Circle in NY on the flip side.

  • Kigali (Birth control until marriage)

    Butter face. She has got that London steez though.

  • stuffbetweenmytoes

    she looks alright. note to sisters. keep close to your natural length and texture (even with a perm), stop trying to stretch our what’s not there, and you will feel good, and look good in your own beauty. you are some gorgeous women, gorgeous and renowned around the word. brothers and sisters grew up with too much t.v. and it blew their minds…and made em think that the other was better. free your minds, and know that what you got is good and good enough.

  • Tyronne

    as a dark skinned lady i wanna say that Usher’s ex DON’T hate he is fugly now is chatting alot of crap.

    not every dark skinned person feels they lack confidence and aren’t beautiful i don’t at all. maybe that is an american thing where blacks turn amongst themselves but i am happy with my beautiful skin that needs no foundation and the way i look and i dress accordingly too. as beauty comes in all colours despite what u may have been brainwashed with.

    i personally know some light skinned girls that do have confidence issues maybe to do with their looks, or skin etc i don’t know so don’t tar self esteem issues with just dark girls as everyone and anyone can suffer from it.

  • kacey

    she looks good here…

    i know i hae self esteem issues because i know i will not be considered mainstream attractive because of my dark skin color. i knw its bad and i wish i didnt have to feel this way, but the world keeps reminding me that i do, from the multiple black men i see who are paired up with light skinned women, to hearing mens comments about women of different shades and seeing how in ALL cases the ‘dimes’ are always the ones who dont look like me.

  • kacey

    luckily i hae intelligence which has allowed me to progress to a ery high level of education, hae got my masters degree, without that i would be nothing, which is a sad but true fact.

  • http://www.brandbible.co.uk/ Lucy

    She looks nice

  • L

    Love her new look!!

  • stuffbetweenmytoes

    please dont wrap me up in your self hating self. you may not like your skin, but i love mine. plenty menses do too. other than on t.v. and some simple minded fools in real life, most men i know love the chocolate. holla.

    …Hold on, let me take my glasses of real quick..

    *cleaning glasses, putting them back on*

    Nope…she still looks like Anthony Hamilton to me.

  • Mssmartiepants2u

    If the makeover didn’t include a visit to an orthodontist, then it doesn’t count. I bet she put the buttons on that jacket with her teeth.

  • mel

    SHE LOOKS STUNNING

  • Boogie

    And finally some much needed grill-work and the retainer .. The horse must have needed his dentures back…. Good Girl!! On the way to DARK CHOCOLATE hotness :D

    xoxox

  • Yvonne

    To be honest, I don’t know what she look liked before so I can’t really say.

  • Gabriella

    pure and simple, she’s UGLY.

  • Kia

    Everything except the scarf.

  • Jamilah

    Short of surgery nothing she does is going to make her better. She is not attractive. Sorry. But her stylist is trying.

  • Kigali (Introduction the New Black Woman 101)

    @kacey,

    Please shut up. You arent ugly because you are dark you are ugly because you are ugly. Dark butts like you need to realize that skin color aint got nothing to do with it MOST of the time. All these light skinned dimes you talk about would still be dimes even with dark skin because they have a nice face. Somali and other East African women are dark but they are still beautiful because they happen to have some of the most feminine features of any one on earth.

    Let that be a listen to you dark butts, it isnt your dark skin, it is your ugly face. Attractive dark women are as self pitying as you are.

  • Cleo

    Toccara, Sessilee and Hollis are all as dark as Estelle, the difference is they are beautiful but Estelle is just ugly and that is the gospel truth. She is a harsh strange bug-looking girl. Her mouth looks like she has a birth defect and that could be corrected, but she still won’t look good.

  • ….

    Im sorry but its true ,most darksin people are ugly

  • Reality Check

    Well, the new hair doo doesn’t make her look any worse. So, I would say its a lateral move rather than a move upward (better) or downward (worse).

  • Reality Check

    Have you met Kanye?

    “Dark skinned black people have self esteem issues that is why they fail to make a stand or mark with confidence….because confidence is equal to beauty not just how you look…..they are afraid of their own kind which are lighter skinned treating them irrelevant….”

  • yeah yeah

    awwww, leave her alone.

  • Jimmy Cricket’ offspring

    She and Flavor Flav could be brother and sister. Their parents ought to be shot.

  • itzzzkimmm

    She looks GREAT!!! Work it Estelle!! Luv ya!!

  • Usher’s ex Don’t hate he is fugly now

    my point again

    big lips.big buts are in fashion but why is it relvant only if you are WHITE or lightskinned

    estelle is not ugly but she makes her self LOOK UGLY and make it harder for dark sistas to take the credit where credit is due

  • Moreaces

    I think she looks cute, beautiful skin tone

  • http://bossip kenny

    SHE LOOKS LIKE POOKIE’S SISTER, OR A BLACK INK PEN WITH GREEN INK.

  • creole Princess

    she looks like a gremlin

  • Kimba

    I think Estelle would be more appealing if she wore the traditional attire of her true culture, since both of her parents are from Africa. She does not fit into the western ideal of beauty and she should play up her assets rather than trying to fit in. Unfortunately, in show business, a business based on physical beauty more than anything else, Estelle will never reflect the mode.

  • Tyronne

    @ leesha

    u put everything i wanted to add in a concise manner

    clap clap!

  • Vogue

    What Cleo said above is true. Those dark skinned women are beautiful, Estelle isn’t.

  • Phd.

    Focus on getting the best education you can get if you are not attractive. Beauty has such a short window to shine anyway, but smarts are forever.

  • Tyronne

    and @ usher

    how do u know estelle is making herself ugly? how do you know she didn’t make an effort? you don’t KNOW the woman yet you are throwing around assumptions like you know it all.lol

    what about the ‘dark’ skinned girls in show business that look pretty like naoimi, gabrielle, kelly rowland? are they helping your cause? are they making darkskinned girls relevant and bringing about the revolution you speak of? as you appear to be an ally of the darkskinned girl, but yet you are tearing them down by applying sterotypes that don’t fit every darkskinned girl and insisting they make themselves look ‘not ugly’ to change the percieved views of them.

  • Amazing Man

    Some people need to just stop accusing others of hating on dark skin people if that is really not the case. Estelle is a very unattractive female (pure fact!!!) and it would be the same if she were white or lighter complexion. Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is to the bone!

  • leeha

    @Tyrone,
    Thanks we are on the same page. I think its interesting that this girl, that Usher doesn’t value, still had enough self-esteem to pursue her dreams. That somehow this woman still has so much talent and drive that she produced one of the breakout hits of last year. She is a major recording artist and her album is slamming but yet Usher wants to reduce her to just another unkempt ghetto girl. I don’t think Estelle lets stereotypes keep her down, I think Usher has let stereotypes keep her own intellect down.

    @Kimba,
    I know what u mean. She has gorgeous African features that the western fashion industry doesn’t cater towards. I think about all the models from the continent that the mainstream doesn’t know how to handle at all. I think about Marc Jacob putting red/orange lipstick on those sisters. And Jennifer Hudson’s spread in Vogue. I think she has to define herself more. She needs to think about other black artists who blaze their own trails, think Badu and Jill Scott and good Ole Mary J. Blige.

  • Tyronne

    @ amazing man

    the issues with estelle and dark skinned people are seperate in this discussion ( well at least to me)

    i think estelle has nice eyes and although she might not fit what it ‘conventially’ attractive to me she looks nice

    and summarising the darkskinned issue it was mentioned that dark skinned ppl have no confidence so they make themselves look ugly and they i.e estelle need to make them selves look better to be seen as better by others. im not accusing anyone of hating dark skinned people. i’m just saying that this general percieved view of a dark skinned girl lacking confidence dressing and thinking inferior wearing no makeup (all mentioned here) doesn’t apply to me at all. and not to sound too repetitive i agree with EVERYTHING leesha said.

  • Mo Mo

    Im acturally Liking it

  • ysr

    she reminds me of a new deep sea fish not yet discovered with that scarf and that hair

  • Karen1229

    She looks about as good as she possibly can. Goodness knows, its better than it was.

  • Kigali

    Kimba,

    “She does not fit into the western ideal of beauty and she should play up her assets rather than trying to fit in.”

    News flash. She wouldnt be considered cute in the Eastern world either. If she is Ghanian or Nigerian which is where most Africans in England are from, Ghanian or Nigerian men wouldnt think she was cute either. I dont know why you think African people have low standards when it comes to beauty. They dont. IF you are cute you are cute if you are ugly you are ugly people. East or West. It dont matter.

  • Kigali

    @leeha,

    What the hell are African features? You know I hear Alex Wek has African features too but those women couldnt look more different from each other. It doesnt have nothing to do with African feature. Whats ugly in Africa is ugly in America or London.

  • plasma tv watcher

    SHE LOOK TOE UP

  • leeha

    @Kigali,

    U are Wrong on so many levels, so many. Alek Wek has very sudanese, african features. Alek features are part of her appeal but also is the reason why she was very controversial when she came out. Alek’s very dark skin color isn’t valued in the US. have u ever heard any jokes about blue black skin? Alek’s super short haircut is something else that is ridiculed in the US. We can go on and talk about her forehead and lips, if u want to talk about african features that black americans run away from.

    And Kigali u said that we assume that african men have a lower standards because they would find Estelle attractive. I don’t think u have fully thought out that opinion. Who said African men have lower standards? And why does their standards have to be lower just because a woman u don’t value may be attractive in the eyes of an african male. I believe african men who have been raised deep in black culture, away from western influences, have a different standard of beauty. If everyone around u have darker skin and fuller lips then it makes perfect sense that u find those features attractive. –So no attractive in America isn’t the same in London or on the continent.

  • leeha

    kigali,

    U are aware that the continent of Africa is very diverse. U know that every tribe or country’s people have distinctive features. People from Ethiopia look different then folks from Sudan and Kenya. Therefore, Estelle and Alek Wek can both have african features.

  • leeha

    Going with your phrasing, ugly in America is not the same as ugly in london or africa. Because I’m sure Alek Wek is fine enough to give a Sudanese man an instant hard-on, when she came out most black men I knew was completely turned off by her. They couldn’t get over how ‘ugly’ and ‘dark’ she was. They couldn’t wrap their western minds around all that chocolate goodness.

  • Kia

    You fuccin color struck azzholes are sick in the head. Dark, light or in betwee, beauty is beauty. I don’t feel sorry for stupid, ignorant peope like you, but you should feel sorry for yourselves.

    Signed,

    Light-skinned girl who KNOWS black n even blacka is the MOST beautiful fuccuz.

    ______________________________________________
    No Disrespect to Alex Wek but she is NOT fine ENOUGH to give a SUDANESE MAN a hard-on that is why she is DATING a WHITE MAN.

    Have you met any SUDANESE MEN?Some of them look like Barak Obama.

    African MEN in GENERAL JUST LIKE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN regardless of the SKIN COLOUR

    The DIFFERENCE is that BLACK AMERICAN men APPEAR TO PREFER WHITE WOMEN and so if they have to choose a black woman the LIGHT SKINNED WOMEN are Favoured over there DARK SKINNED COUNTERPACTS.

    When your UGLY your UGLY and BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE of the BEHOLDER

    AND ESTELLE IS a WEST INDIAN

    “Nothing beats a failure but a try.”

  • leeha

    Sorry BB was the one I should have addressed my post to, but it still applies to Kigali’s ignorant ass.

  • Little Wing

    People should let Africans decide what they find attractive instead of forcing Alek Wek on them and claiming she’s the “African standard of beauty”. By the way, I’m an African man and I think Estelle is decent/above average, if not somewhat attractive.

  • Little Wing

    I’ve never understood what Afro-American dudes see in mixed/mulatto women.

  • Kigali

    @kacey,

    Here is a history lesson for you. East Africa is where the earliest human remains have been found. These are where the first humans evolved. East Africans dont have European features. They have been looking the way that they look for thousands of years even before there were European people.
    If anything European women are trying to look like them.

  • Kigali

    @leeha,

    Alex Wek doesnt have “African features.” She doesnt look like she comes from the Masai in Kenya and she doesnt look like she comes from South Africa, she doesnt look Taureg, she doesnt look Zulu she doesnt look Fulani. She is from a rather small tribe in Southern Sudan- She looks Dinka. Please dont talk about African features. I dont think you have enough expirience with African people to know what they look like.

  • Kigali

    @leeha,

    I dont think many African men would find Estelle attractive. You assume they would because they havent been influenced by the West. I truly believe that ugly is ugly no matter where you go. African men arent any different.

    “I believe african men who have been raised deep in black culture, away from western influences, have a different standard of beauty. ”

    There is no such thing as black culture in Africa. There are hundreds of cultures on the continent and they are all black. Only blacks in Americans talk about black culture because they think their expirences in the disapora dominate. I am black but I dont have the same culture as some black person in brazil.

    Europe have extenstive cultural influences in Africa. Most of the law in Africa is english common law and lots of the schools are missionary.

  • Little Wing

    The first humans were Khoisan people from southern Africa.

  • Kigali

    As an aside, it has been my expirience that when a black woman starts talking about European ideals of beauty she is trying to explain away her inability to attract.

    Good night and good luck.

  • http://Bossip.com MeeMee

    What’s going to happen is Estelle will eventually married someone outside her race. Like a very wealthy white man. Whose gonna love her for who she is and not worry about skin color. And she will be happy and I will be happy for her.

    I think this color issue will always be a problem ESPECIALLY because our black men have been brain washed.

    As a matter of fact…I’ve noticed that a lot of black women as well as, black celebrity women who are light to dark skinned, have started dating outside of their race.

    Well…I for one ain’t mad at them. I do not blame them one bit. I’d rather deal with a white man than deal with a brother who likes me only because I’m light skinned or am too damn dark for his taste. For me it’s just that simple!

    @kacey,

    Seriously. Get over yourself. Your problem is that you are probably an ugly girl. There are lots of men who will think you are attractive so just find your level ok. Please stop talking to me about this standard of beauty nonsense. Ugly is ugly, pretty is pretty. There isnt any conspiracy against you by Europeans ok. Black men dont complain about ideals of beauty because they look good and most people know it. Their sisters just need to work with what they have and stop getting mad at the white woman.

  • Kigali (Introduction to the New Black Woman 101)
