it’s crazy that people will say she’s ugly bc she has dark skin but she has better facial features then some of these models with lighter and white skin

She has a nice face shape and her eyes are very flirty. Thats what makes her look nice

No Name and her skin is a rich, beautiful brown. It’s so smooth.

No Name you failed to mention how gorgeous her skin is (color and smooth texture)!

Hey I’m white but I’ll admit she looks better than most white models currently on the runway. Just my opinion 🤷🏼‍♀️
