As a supermodel Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid Bowie, aka Iman, knows how to give good face, but is it all hers?
Here's the 20-year-old Somalian beauty at the beginning of her career in 1975 (left) -- and the 53-year-old version at a NYC event on Thursday (right).
Apparently, aging is not in this season.
1. Who cares? As long as it looks natural and not horrendous like that "blond bombshell" story you did on Melanie Griffith.

3. Not trying to sound politically incorrect, but black females normally do not suffer with an early onset of age spots and wrinkles. Could be that they spend less time in the sun and tanning. I think it is clearly natural.

4. It looks real. She has laugh lines (is that what you call it) around her mouth now and her face doesn't look tight as if it had been lifted uncountable times. Keep up the good work!

5. That first picture is ugly. I guess she was on a modeling job in that one...but whoever did her make up should be shot. Not a good pic to compare. She might have had some work done. Who knows with these hollywood types.

6. Make up has a lot to do with her appearance:
In the first pic, she has white under her eyes, over chocolate fondations, her lips are chocolate.
Second pic is copper and a different lighting. She probably keeps more from the sun and has good genes imao

8. It's well known that she's had a tit job, so who knows what else she's had done to herself?

10. You idiots want to explain how she went from dark chocolate to caramel? Black skin dosen't fade with age . . . She is UNRECOGNIZABLE -- her eyes, nose, lips, her foerhead (still big but went from round to flat!) She obiviously BLEACHED her skin. There's no way lightning can have such a profound affect on skin COLOR!!!!!!! And tanning F-ING DARKENS your skins, not lightens it, morons. There's no way her skin color now is NATURAL. No f-ing way. She probably had Michael Jackon's "vitiigo" dermatologist. Not very attractive in either photo I might add.

12. All the negative comments must be from jealous people who resent the fact Iman looks as good as she does at her age. For the record, black doesn't crack which means Blacks don't age at the same rate as Whites. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've met a White woman who I thought was in her 40s only to find out she's in her 20s or 30s! Whites spend too much time in the sun unlike Blacks do not. I've met White women whose skin was literally red from too much sun and had the look of leather. Yuck! You always read about White actresses having plastic surgery and getting Botox but never read about Black actresses having those procedures. I wonder why. Also, Blacks don't fear aging the way Whites do. Blacks embrace wrinkles and gray hair and resfuse to spend thousands of dollars trying to look younger than they are. The older Black women I know wear their gray hair proudly while the White women die their hair. And, pile on tons of makeup trying to look half their age. Iman may have had procedures done but I for one, am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and say her good looks are due to genes. Not, plastic surgery.

13. It appears she got the Michael Jackson skin bleaching treatment....give her another 10 years and she'll be white.

14. How is it 84% believe Marisa Tomei has good genes but only 37% believe Iman does? Wow, could it be most of the people voting are WHITE? Blacks don't age at the same rate as Whites due to their darker skin tone. And, the fact Blacks don't spend as much time in the sun. Whites are the ones who use Botox and have plastic surgery to correct every little wrinkle. I've never read about a Black actress or entertainer who has had plastic surgery or botox, but have read about plenty of White ones who have. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've met a White woman who I thought was in her 40s only to find out she was in her 20s or 30s! I've actually seen White women whose skin had the look of dried leather from too much sun. Yuck! Blacks don't fear aging the way Whites do. Blacks embrace wrinkles and gray hair and resfuse to spend thousands of dollars trying to look younger than they are. The older Black women I know wear their gray hair proudly while the White women dye their hair blonde even when they're in their 70s! And, pile on tons of makeup trying to look half their age. Iman may have had procedures done but I for one, am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and say her good looks are due to genes. Not, plastic surgery. Like they say, "black don't crack." LOL
