She doesnt even look black. white people hair (when straight), nose, eyes… The skin colour is the only thing that implies she is mixed even though she is very very light… Ito me she looks 1/4 black not half.
Yes she definitely LOOKS BLACK. I do not see what else she looks like ??? her entire facial structure is black. She just has white hair and light eyes which some black people have. She looks like what she is half black and white. This little platinum blonde boy is 1/4th black as his mom is biracial black white and he looks white not Leona.

I think you are stupid, what kind of black she looks like ? she looks mostly European but with some exotic look, it doesn’t mean she is black
Pretty i prefer when she had her hair in the tight curls like on the Xfactor it looked good on her.
She’s Make Black
She’s lucky to have the unique combination of dark skin and blue eyes, and to be gifted with such a nice voice.
