Giving me Ms. Ross teas (minus the hair)

 

[nataliaapple]

Love! Glad she's finally getting the attention she deserves. This is an Academy Award nominated actress here!

 

[Handbag Queen]

Are they releasing August issue early?

 

[t-rex]

Last year's August issue came out on July 3. Interesting that they are so early, especially since their June/July issue came out barely a month ago.

Fantastic work all around. She looks smoldering.

What a bore..

 

[gazebo]

This is absolutely beautiful.

The face reminds me of Kenya, though.

I love the cover, and I am so happy she is getting recognized. She is so talented and i'd love to see her get more movie roles.

Gorgeous, love the causal styling for the cover, love her face and the accompanying photos are stunning. It has a a Vogue Paris kind of feel somehow, imo.

Still couldn't get past episode number 2 of Empire though, its hype alludes me entirely! Same for Scandal.etc though, just not my kind of TV. But how amazing to see someone as talented as her get her moment in the sun. After Benjamin, i feared she might fade away.

yes the challenge is to make it to episode 3. I almost didn't, but when you get to ep 3 it becomes much less confusing.

Easily one of her best photoshoots ever, if not her best. She looks so sexy. W has been on a roll.

Damn Good!
Invokes all the best sensuality of Francesco Scavullo, Sean Byrnes collaborations.
I've never watched her show but Taraji is looking AmaZiNg.

 

[fer19dog]

I lovee me some cookie honey!

 

[happycanadian]

This is utter magnificence.

Taraji is stunning here. Seriously, she is giving amaaaaaazing face (and body) in these photos. Captivating, alluring, sensual, strong, confident. It's just epic!

The cover is very Janet Jackson circa "Love Will Never Do Without You" - and that ain't a complaint.
