15 Sexy Bearded Men We Love

There's nothing like a brother with a swaggy beard. We break down the sexiest beards around.
By Charli Penn · Updated October 26, 2020
01
Omari Hardwick
The ladies love tall, stacked and handsome Power star, and former ESSENCE Single Man of the Month, Omari Hardwick. We don’t know which trait we love more: those lips, that beard or those lashes. Either way, we’re so ready for season three!

Lenny Kravitz
Rock God and eye candy favorite Lenny Kravitz has always made a fuzzy face the style.

Idris Elba

In our book, Idris Elba can do no wrong, and we know he drives you wild too. He’s the perfect combination of sexy and cute; and he’s super talented too. What else could a girl ask for? Oh, well, maybe to stroke on that beard.

Common

We can’t wait to see this bearded knockout show off more of those acting chops and that ever-charming smile. Common, who is also just as well known for his rap skills, is truly a modern day renaissance brother.

Micheal Ealy
Michael Ealy, who is currently stars on FOX’s Secrets and Lies makes “scruffy” look very good. Somewhere out there there’s a dictionary where this face is filed under ‘G’ for gorgeous.

Mr. Raymond has a beautiful beard and plenty of swag to go with it.

Boris Kodjoe
Model-turned actor Boris Kodjoe’s barely-there beard is so grown and sexy. Is it just us, or does this brother only get better with age?

Swizz Beatz
He may be happily married to our girl Alicia Keys, but we’re not blind. Swizz always turns heads when he walks the red carpet showing off his authentic cool (and that beard).
