Wherever Amber Rose steps out, it’s not just a stroll—it’s a full-on fashion parade, complete with flair and attitude. Whether she’s turning heads with her daring statements or her even bolder fashion choices, Amber knows how to capture the spotlight. As a model with a taste for the dramatic, it’s no shock that she has an intense love for fashion. And she’s got the wardrobe space to match her wildest style ambitions. Back in 2012, she revealed to Complex that her closet is more like a personal fashion warehouse, filled with racks of clothes, all meticulously organized by color and category—from dresses and shirts to winter coats and furs. It’s the kind of setup that would make even Carrie Bradshaw envious.
Amber’s deep love for fashion led her to team up with the plus-size brand Simply Be in 2018, proving that she’s all about inclusivity. Naturally, this collaboration sparked chatter about whether she’d eventually launch her own fashion line. But by 2021, she clarified her stance in an interview with Young Hollywood, saying that while she’s deeply immersed in the fashion scene, she’s more interested in rocking her unique style than in creating it from scratch. Essentially, Amber Rose enjoys being the muse, not the designer. While she loves flaunting fresh looks, not all of her fashion choices have been, let’s say, well-received. Some of her more, shall we say, *controversial* ensembles have certainly caused a stir, transforming into unforgettable fashion moments, even if they’re a bit questionable. But with Amber, even a misstep is still worth the discussion.
Kanye West: The Influence Behind the Bold Fashion Risks
At the 2010 Paris Fashion Week, it wasn’t the runway models who stole the show—it was Amber Rose. Accompanied by then-boyfriend Kanye West, the pair was already a magnet for attention. But Amber’s outfit that day? It was a jaw-dropper.
She arrived in a black, see-through mesh mini dress with a nude bodysuit underneath, creating the illusion of wearing nothing at all. And just to keep things interesting, she paired the look with a black coat that did little to cover up.
Throughout her two-year relationship with West, Amber’s fashion choices became increasingly bold. Fast forward to 2024, and she didn’t hesitate to point fingers at Kanye, telling “Just B with Bethenny Frankel,” “I am actually conservative. I’ve always been that way since I was young.” But everything changed when she started dating the “Gold Digger” rapper. “That was my first relationship with a celebrity and being in the public eye. He knows a lot about fashion, and he always wanted me to dress very sexy,” she shared. Considering Kanye’s history of dressing his partners in attention-grabbing outfits, this revelation isn’t exactly surprising. Yet, even after their breakup, Amber continued to push the envelope with her daring wardrobe choices, proving that while Kanye may have lit the spark, Amber Rose kept the flame alive.
Dominatrix Chic on the Red Carpet
The MTV Video Music Awards are no stranger to wild fashion moments, but Amber Rose managed to outdo herself in 2018. Forget about being the best-dressed—Amber was gunning for the title of *most* dressed, if you count her layers. She hit the red carpet in a dominatrix-style red catsuit that left very little to the imagination. Made entirely of red leather, she amped up the drama with fishnet tights and thigh-high leather boots. And because subtlety isn’t really her style, she accessorized with a leather mask and a whip. Yes, you heard that right—a whip.
Double Trouble with Blac Chyna at the VMA’s
Amber Rose and Blac Chyna are a power duo if there ever was one, and the 2015 VMA’s were proof that they are a force to be reckoned with. The besties strutted the red carpet in matching nude outfits covered in bright, graffiti-style writing. But these weren’t just random words—they were the insults that have been thrown at them throughout their careers. Think “stripper,” “gold digger,” and other not-so-flattering terms. But instead of shying away, they owned these labels head-on.
Chain-Mailed and Unchained
The 2014 Video Music Awards are forever etched in memory thanks to Amber Rose’s jaw-dropping, barely-there ensemble. Accompanied by then-husband Wiz Khalifa, who was up for Best Hip-Hop Video, Amber managed to divert all the attention away from the nominees with her chain-mail dress that was more chain than anything else.
The dress left little to the imagination, with just enough strategically placed chains to keep the outfit borderline appropriate. She finished off the look with silver strappy heels and a tiny silver thong. The outfit bore an uncanny resemblance to the infamous black chain-mail dress worn by Rose McGowan at the 1998 VMAs. Though Amber never confirmed McGowan as her inspiration, the similarities were impossible to ignore. Regardless, Amber Rose ensured that all eyes were on her, not just for her daring fashion choices, but for her fearless embrace of bold, edgy style.
Mesh Madness
If there’s one fabric Amber Rose can’t seem to get enough of, it’s mesh. From Paris Fashion Week to the streets of LA, she’s been spotted in one see-through ensemble after another. A particularly memorable moment came in November 2015, when she stepped out in a black fishnet-style long sleeve dress that was more risqué than refined. Paired with a black bra and matching lace underwear, the outfit left very little to the imagination. But Amber? She was all smiles, waving to fans and embracing every bold inch of her look.
Throughout her career, Amber Rose has never been one to play by the rules—especially when it comes to fashion. In a 2023 interview with The People Gallery, she shared this piece of styling advice: “Be yourself and don’t conform to society’s norms.” And if her outfits are anything to go by, Amber Rose is definitely living by her own rules. She wears what she wants, when she wants, and doesn’t care about anyone else’s opinion. And honestly? We wouldn’t want her any other way.
