Here Are the Few Black Women That Made People's Most Beautiful Issue

Oprah, Viola Davis and Taraji P. Henson are killing it.

Published April 25, 2017

This month, People Magazine launched their 28th annual Most Beautiful issue and we were delighted to see there was at least some form of #blackgirlmagic, albeit slim. Although we know that there are countless amounts of beautiful Black women that deserved to be on the Most Beautiful list, we were happy to see some diversity. Here's who made the cut:

👏🏾👏🏾| #Regram @daniebb3: For the girls who never felt pretty enough or were made to feel less than because their beauty was unique, I was you once. One day you will realize your B•E•A•U•T•Y. Outer beauty is fleeting, but lasting beauty comes from within. Thank you @people for including me in your #MostBeautiful issue, specifically in the #nomakeup section. This one is especially for all the beautiful dark skin girls who are underrepresented. Majestic is our melanin. #electricmelanin
