Hollywood and The Oscars may have undervalued the contribution of African-American talent down the years, but the same certainly can’t be said for us fans of celebrity skin. Must have been a hard task to select which nubian stars made it to this top 30 black celebs nude collection.

Some are natural shoo-ins, of course, like the delectable likes of superstar Halle Berry and the the titanic titty legend of blaxploitation movies who is Pam Grier. But with others, it’s much more subjective. I have to say, I’m in full agreement with quite a lot of these selections. Singers like Beyonce and Rihanna had to be there. Maybe, only those of us of a certain age can as easily agree with Appollonia Kotero and Vanity 6. These former Prince protégés were fantasy pin-ups for a whole generation of 1980s teens.

The new generation of actresses like Thandie Newton and Naturi Naughton are worthy inclusions to these top naked ebony stars. But it’s good to see some nostalgic picks too. I’d almost forgotten just how stunning the likes of Lisa Bonet and Jennifer Beals once were. Yum!
