51. Obviously you are all a bunch of smart people here. Did anyone miss the word "Somalian"? You know the country in Africa where people tend to be darker. Now that she has spent the majority of her adult life living in places like London she is obviously going to be lighter. Plus any old photo is going to look bad.

Also, the people that are bragging about black women aging better. Your so true, if only they weren't obese that would be something to brag about.

White or Asian girls only way to go,

52. Even if Iman wears lighter makeup, how does she manage to lighten her neck, shoulders, arms, legs, etc.? Her lighter complexion appears to be all over, so I doubt it's just lighter makeup. As for the nose, I personally don't see a difference between in the photos. However, she did have plastic surgery on her face following a car crash. According to information on the Internet, she literally had one side of her face rebuilt. Either way, she is one of the most beautiful women in the world be it genes or surgery.

53. wow it looks like Iman fell into a big vat of skin bleaching cream because she was dark as hell when she was younger

54. She was in a really bad car accident and they had to reconstruct one side of her face. SO of course she looks different. Other than that, she is a natural beauty with a lot of money for facials, massages, relaxation and good food, which makes her skin look so beautiful!

57.
Black people like to delude themselves that they are bleaching out "spots" on their skin, when in reality they are trying to make their skin as light as they possibly can. Tyra did a show where black girls bleach themselves, their children, who have tried clorox, who would take a full-body skin transplant (offered by a fake doctor), and who would do "anything" even risk death to bleach themselves to a lighter shade.

Get rid of all bleach for skin. If you are really so proud of your dark skin, then enjoy it and be glad that it does not wrinkle as early as other races.

59. I've never seen a bad picture of Iman, even in her hey day as a model back in the late 70's and 80's. I don't know where they dug that first picture up, but it is not very flattering (and TMZ had to dig deep to find it). Iman's on HSN all the time selling her clothing/jewelry line and she looks incredible! In fact, she doesn't look a day over 30, with flawless skin and a great body. No amount of plastic surgery can create what she's rockin'. It is a scientifc fact that darker skin doesn't age like lighter skin, so a lot of her look is due to genetics and because she's Somalian I'm sure she has a much healthier diet. I agree with poster #37, she can afford the best skin care treatments and a good skin care regimen (along with a good diet, exercise, enough sleep and good genes) can go a long way in delaying the aging process of one's face. And, as for the ignorant comment from poster #33 about black women being obese. . . with approximately 60% of Americans being either overweight or obese (with only about 6% of U.S. population being black), I would venture to say that the majority in this country suffering from the obesity epidemic are white (male and female).
