Remembering Kim Porter: A Gallery Of Beauty Moments From The Late Queen

The model and actress was a unique beauty who touched the lives of everyone around her.
Remembering Kim Porter: A Gallery Of Beauty Moments From The Late Queen
By Shalwah Evans · Updated December 6, 2020

Sean “Diddy” Combs’s 50th birthday bash this past weekend was a visual reminder of just how loved the late Kim Porter is. According to People, the music mogul pushed back the celebration for his birthday an entire month (his actual birthday is in November) to ensure that the event would coincide with the birthday of his late partner, and mother of his children.

As friends and family pay tribute to the late model and actress on social media, we look back on all the times she served outer beauty to match her inner beauty. With long lean legs, covetable cheekbones, and the most impeccable melanin-rich skin, Kim Porter made a note-worthy entrance every time she entered a room (or red carpet).

Article continues after video.

We dug in the crates, going back to 2003 when Porter was a permanent fixture on the red carpet. This photo tribute is a celebration of Porter, whose unique and revered beauty lives on through her children, and in our memories.
