And the list has no order because true beauty cannot be ranked.
So, without further ado, Regal Mag presents the 24 most beautiful women of 2024.
Simone Biles—If anyone does not recognize gymnast Simone Biles as the GOAT, then they need to recognize, fool. The title was not in doubt going into the 2024 Olympics in Paris. However, it put the icing on an already immaculate cake. Not only has the Spring, Texas native solidified her career and the endorsements that follow, but she and Chicago Bears star Jonathan Owens have sealed their status as a serious power couple.
Aja Wilson—RegalMag.com loves Caitlin Clark. However, the greatest female basketball player in the world is undoubtedly Aja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces. Although the Aces did not win the WNBA championship, Wilson began getting the respect she deserved from Madison Avenue with her own signature shoe and other endorsements. As the WNBA explodes in popularity, expect Wilson to reap the awards that she has deserved since she entered the league out of South Carolina.
Chiney Ogwumike—Many athletes have successfully transitioned to a media career. But very few have done it as seamlessly as WNBA star Chiney Ogwumike. The family of Nigerian descent was always royalty in the Houston area thanks to the basketball exploits of the Ogwumike sisters at Cy-Fair High School. But the middle sister has become legendary at ESPN for her natural charisma and magnetic personality.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas)—Bleach blonde, bad built, butch body. Rep. Jasmine Crockett bodied her colleague Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) with that annihilating alliteration. Crockett not only bodied her female counterparts in politics, but she also had no problems criticizing President-elect Donald Trump. At a time when many voters view the Democratic Party as weak, there is nothing weak about this sister. And her fight is something beautiful to see.
Beyoncé—Pop sensation Beyoncé is also a country music sensation despite what the haters at the Grand Ole Opry think. She celebrated country music’s Black roots with the “Country Carter” album. Furthermore, she gave other Black country artists, past and present, an opportunity to shine on a mainstream platform. She also brought her country talents to NRG Stadium on Christmas for the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game. And she lent her voice to the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph—From now on, refer to her as Academy Award winner, Da’Vine Joy Randolph. Anyone watching her career from her role as Poundcake on “Empire” to Lady Red opposite Eddie Murphy in “Dolemite is My Name” knew that she oozed talent. However, when she starred as Mary Lamb in “The Holdovers,” she finally secured a role that showed how immensely gifted she is. Randolph has also found huge success on the small screen, starring as Detective Donna Williams in “Only Murders in the Building.”
Glo Rilla—Get em, Glo. The last few years in hip-hop have belonged to the ladies. But 2024 has belonged to Memphis native, Glo Rilla. She dropped her album “Glorious” in October featuring a who’s who in the music business from Kirk Franklin to Sexy Redd. Such an eclectic mix of artists ranged from the righteous to the ratchet and fans loved her for it. The Queen of Memphis has mastered making hot singles like “TGIF” and “Whatchu Kno About Me,” which is a take on Boosie’s classic “Wipe Me Down.” And a few years from now, Glo Rilla’s singles will be seen as classics too.
Taraji P. Henson—The Academy Award nominee could make Regal’s list every year. But she deserves props for regularly calling out the discrimination and inequalities that Black actresses face in Hollywood. She ended 2023 by killing her role as Shug Avery in the musical version of “The Color Purple.” Furthermore, she showed she could still get it done on the small screen with roles in “Abbott Elementary” and the fantastic “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist,” which featured the best of Black Hollywood.
Fantasia—The end of 2023 belonged to Fantasia. She performed at halftime of the Bayou Classic in New Orleans. Then she starred as Celie in the musical version of “The Color Purple,” reprising her Broadway role. Unfortunately, she did not receive the acclaim that she deserved for her performance. “The Color Purple” should have been for Fantasia what “Dreamgirls” was for Jennifer Hudson. But many award voters and confused moviegoers, who did not know it was musical, did not give her the props that she deserved.
Danielle Brooks—Just like Fantasia and Henson, Danielle Brooks did not get enough props for her portrayal of Sofia in “The Color Purple” musical. Therefore, she will get all the credit she deserves from RegalMag.com. To many fans of the original “The Color Purple,” Sofia is their favorite and most-quoted character. And soon Brooks will become a favorite for many moviegoers. The talented actress has also appeared in “Peacemaker,” the “Mahalia” biopic about legendary gospel star Mahalia Jackson and “Orange is the New Black.”
Stephanie Mills—Auntie Stephanie gets love from RegalMag.com for always standing on business and standing up for the Black community. She has no qualms about speaking up for her friend, the late Michael Jackson. She does not mind standing up for Minister Louis Farrakhan. And she does not mind standing up for her sisters in the music business. Her interviews on “The Breakfast Club” are gold. And her voice is still golden. And she returned to Broadway in 2024 as fans still talk about her star-making Broadway performance in “The Wiz” in the late 1970s.
Tanner Adell—Black women have always existed in country music. But 2024 might go down as the year that the masses could no longer ignore who the true creators of country music were. While Beyoncé and Micky Guyton are household names even for non-country fans, singer-songwriter Tanner Adell will soon occupy her own place on the Mt. Rushmore of Black female country stars. Her debut album dropped in 2023. And in 2024, she followed that up with an appearance on “Blackbird” by Beyoncé and three singles, “Whiskey Blues,” “Cowboy Break My Heart” and “Silverado.”
