After TikToker @clair.huxtable_ sparked a conversation about women she thinks are the idea beauty standard, we're adding a couple more gorgeous Black stars to her list.

A conversation about the most beautiful Black women is sure to invite a lot of opinions. Influencer and lawyer @clair.huxtable_ started a viral conversation on TikTok about women who represent the ideal standard of beauty with a list packed with gorgeous Black stars, including Tika Sumpter and Marsai Martin, and we couldn’t agree more. In fact, it got us thinking about a few other names we’d like to add to the conversation.

From actors to models to reality TV stars, these women are so gorgeous that they will leave you speechless.​

Coco Jones has a face card that never declines. The singer, actress and soon-to-be bride has a smile that could warm even the iciest of hearts and eyes that literally twinkle. It’s impossible to look at Jones and not say, “Wow.”

Erica Dixon

With her sharp jawline, high cheekbones and piercing eyes, Erica Dixon has a face card that is not to be played with. You’ll never catch a bad angle of the “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star.

Speaking of striking eyes, DeWanda Wise’s eyes are the most gorgeous shade of hazel ever. Yet they’re only one of her beautiful features. Her perfect smile is enough to catch your attention.

If there were an Academy Award for the best-looking cast, “Sinners” would have had it, especially the women. Jayme Lawson is just one of the beautiful cast members who took our breath away with her first on-screen appearance.

Wunmi Mosaku

Black British actor Wunmi Mosaku is a natural beauty who held our attention in every scene in “Sinners.” The star is absolutely radiant.

Tika Sumpter

“Ride Along” star Tika Sumpter is a gift to any screen she graces – not just because you can count on a good performance, but because she’s going to blow you away with her dazzling beauty.

Zendaya

Has Zendaya ever looked bad? We don’t think so. The “Challengers” star could easily be a supermodel if she wanted to pivot from acting, and we’d support her every step of the way, because she has a face built for the runway.

Kelly Rowland

When it comes to Kelly Rowland, her face card is undeniable. The “Dilemma” singer has set and surpassed beauty standards just by existing. Whether she’s rocking a bob or a big, voluminous hairdo, her glamour always shines through.

Lupita Nyong’o

There’s a reason Christopher Nolan cast Lupita Nyong’o to play Helen of Troy – “the most beautiful woman in the world” – in “The Odyssey.” Hands down, Nyong’o is striking. The role was practically made for her.

Marsai Martin

Hollywood princess Marsai Martin has grown into the most fabulous young lady, and we love to see it! Her signature look is a pink blush that accentuates her high cheekbones, and she is never caught without a brown lip liner. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right? Martin’s good looks definitely don’t need fixing.

Janet Jackson

From the ’90s until now, Janet Jackson has been working with a serious face card. But is that really so surprising when the whole Jackson clan is gorgeous? Janet Jackson is the epitome of beauty, and her talent is unmatched. It almost feels unfair.

Chlöe Bailey

Chlöe Bailey is equally as fierce as she is beautiful. When performing, the “Have Mercy” singer transforms into her sexy alter ego, but offstage, Bailey often wears the sweetest smile on her face. We love a dynamic face card.

Halle Bailey

If we’re talking about Chlöe, then we have to speak on Halle Bailey, too. Has there ever been a prettier pair of sisters? With her sparkling eyes and stunning grin, the “You, Me & Tuscany” star is the closest we’ll ever get to seeing a real-life mermaid.

Anok Yai

There’s no denying Anok Yai’s gorgeousness. Like all the women on this list, Yai truly has a one-of-a-kind face card, and we adore it.
