Why did black ppl universally agree that Halle Berry was the GOAT black woman in the 90's-00's?

[Carlton Banks]

I don't find her that attractive. Her energy ain't feminine enough for my tastes.

Gimme Keri Hilson if we're talking 00s RnB chicks.

This post so backwards. Keri is less feminine if anything

I'm in this category who are the it actress today?
Halle Berry has got to be one of the most overrated, not just looks but work (films) done. 90% of her work after the mid 90's has been trash to me

Feels like we've left a lot of what white media companies have chosen has our representation today.
They tried pushing Tinashe and some other manufactured lightskin/biracial actress, singers on us - people aren't taking the bait no more.
Another reason why I'm believing we are seeing such a decline in largely known young black actresses.
We are also seeing the pushback while they attempt to make these nazi lover films with these actresses they expect our people to drool over

I can’t believe someone said Salli Richardson didn’t rival Halle Berry in terms of looks. Are you for real?

These aren’t even pics of her in her prime.

Nah. You buggin. Keri Hilson is fine as hell.

She was extremely gorgeous!
She had a great personality!
She was of the legendary!
I'm thinking she was very wealthy also!

Halle is considered the goat because she appealed to black and white men. A lot of white people (women included) at my old job considered her to be the end all be all in terms of attractive black women.


With that being said....let's not act like she wasn't fine af. Go watch Boomerang...go watch some of those old movies. Pictures don't always do her justice you gotta look at her in motion

once Strictly Business came out it was a wrap

the face, the hairstyle, the body

she leapfrogged every female entertainer at once..

===============================================

-----the guy who said she can't act, is right though

My introduction to Halle Berry. I watched the movie with my mouth open. Pretty much this throughout. Most beautiful girl I had ever seen.

She's not black

Because meagan Goode only appealed to high schoolers in the 90s

 

[hayesc0]

I remember that scene from the movie The Uninvited Guest. That nikka was licking on her toes then ate the box right on that table and made her cream herself. Her mourns had a young me hard as a rock

Spoiler: nsfw

 

[Wargames]

yes the 90s were sort of a rejection of the beauty standards of the 1980s... arguably the 4 most visible new female stars of the 90s....were brown skinned women who had short hair styles ......Halle, Toni Braxton, Nia Long and Jada.

I think women rejected 1980s standards for men also...

Yep they were the top 5 baddest and then Beyonce happened

 

[TEH]

I mean Halle Berry is cool... but there was badder chicks out there

Revisionist historians

Who was badder in the 90’s
