10. Genevieve Nnaji – Nigeria

Genevieve is Nollywood’s brightest star. She has appeared in countless movies and is also a singer and spokesmodel. She is the face for Lux soap. She released an album titled No More. Genevieve says music was her first love even before acting but it is definately acting that has made her the star she is today. She has played everything from a love interest to a ’shoot em up’ chick. Some call her Sharon Stone. We call her sexy.

 

9. Alek Wek – Sudan

 

Her skin has been kissed by the sun. She is known on a first name basis all over the world. She single handedly changed the way beauty is viewed when she stepped on the fashion scene a decade ago. We love her because she could have paid big money to change her looks once she made it big and she didn’t. She is proud of looking like a Dinka girl. She is proud to be African and to look African and challenges whoever doesn’t accept it to keep it moving. Her confidence makes her one very sexy lady.

8. Pearl Thusi  South Africa

 is a model, former Miss KZN and TV presenter but mostly known as the mother of Walter Mokoena's baby. Pic taken from www.heat.co.za . Is there anything she can’t do? She makes raising her child and looking like that very easy. Pearl is one sexy Mama.

6. Honorine Uwera – Rwanda

Her lips alone give Angelina Jolie a run for her money. This Rwandan beauty immigrated to Canada in the late 90’s. A modeling scout found her and the rest as they say is history. She has graced the runway for Issey Miyake, Emanuel Ungaro, Baby Phat, Richard Chai, Ruffian, Vivienne Westwood and Antonio Marras. She was featured in the Roca Wear Spring 2005 campaign with Naomi Campbell and Karolina Kurkova

5. Flavania Matata – Tanzania

This beauty queen represented her country Tanzania at this year’s Miss Universe and she was a top contender. We loved her sass and the fact that she didn’t put a wig of long flowing hair on top of her bald head. She looked beautiful bald and she stood out. When asked what the judges should know about her she replied, “I am an electrical technician by profession as well as a top model in my country. I never let anyone define me neither by hair nor clothing as I believe God made me perfect as a pure, natural African woman.” Amen to that!

This 21 year old beauty from Mali is a rising Model on the French Fashion scene. She has done several photoshoots for Parisians magazines and numerous fashions parades for well renowned names like Elit, Imane Ayissi and L’Oreal. The limitations on black models in France have made her travel to Africa, Italy, and the U.S.A for work.

Iman proves that sexy doesn’t have to stop. She looks good next to very young girls. She paved the way for all the African models doing big things right now. Let’s never forget that.
