Hip Hop’s most fashion savvy couple are still making their rounds in Paris, appearing today at Chanel’s Haute Couture show at Pavillon Cambon Capucines:
Outfitted in a head-to-toe hooded gold knit dress and platform pumps, it seems Amber took the opposite route from her earlier choices, going for totally covered up (vs. barely there):
She seems to be channeling iconic fashionista Grace Jones…
I think it works for her. As for Kanye? Definitely Dapper.
What do you think?
Hot or Hmm….?
*Read a review of the Chanel Haute Couture show at New York Magazine.
*As a random aside, Amber used Grace as her muse for a controversial Complex Magazine shoot:

I like her in it, not sure this is one of her better looks though. I see Ye is keeping it simple these days, but that’s not a bad thing at all.

i think Amber Rose is awesome. and she’s always beautiful. but i dunno about this one…
January 26, 2010 2:40 pm
i would love it if is was shorter right above her knees. her legs need to be seen they are fabulous! The dress shortens her stature a bit.
January 26, 2010 2:58 pm
love Amber Rose, but that just looks rediculous…even those pretty pumps she has on can’t do anything to save this look
January 26, 2010 3:43 pm
Definitely not feeling this look on Amber. Kanye looks nice, I wonder who chose her outfit…
January 26, 2010 4:11 pm
fuckin a. that is completely awkward and ridiculous
January 26, 2010 4:37 pm
OMG I never noticed the similarities! It’s ok to imitate someone you admire every now and then, but this is too much

I just don’t think knit was the way to go with this dress. Something more wavy and a bit less form fitting would have saved this.

you’ve got to be kidding me.

not feeling the egyptian hood thing on her.
her face while beautiful doesn’t have the contours to pull it off. She just looks round Grace has more angles. Maybe instead of an allover glow she needed to use her highlighter and bronzer more effectively.

and what is her claim to fame anyway? no make that, why are both of them deemed important – expect in their own minds. she looks like a knit condom.

The look is horrible. Too covered up and I personally am not a fan of knits. Also she is no GRACE JONES…
January 27, 2010 9:55 am
This look is plain horrid. She’s demonstrating she hasn’t the slightest bit of originality. Sorry, but Grace Jones already did this, and did it better.

Ok, so let me first start off by saying that AR is a BEAUTIFUL woman.
However…
a) She always goes a bit over the top with her outfits, which makes it really hard to take her seriously. Sometimes, certain looks just WORK for her (like her obsession with spandex), but other times she just looks like she’s channeling her previous occupation as a stripper. This outfit in particular, makes her look like she’s about to perform a one-woman showing of “Camelot”. All bad.
b) Imma really need her to stop swagger jacking Grace Jones. It’s getting a bit ridiculous. Find your own style, dammit. But then again, that just goes to show you how gorgeously TALENTLESS this chick is.
c) What does she do for a living again? Or, should I say, WHOM? LOL
Therefore…
The outfit: -D
Cumulative style grade for AR: C+
:)

LOL @ Velvet’s comment. I like Amber, but she does do waaaaay too much sometimes and this knit dress is a perfect example.
January 28, 2010 2:22 am
she doesn’t have the face to pull it off.

[...] Guys! So while most of us were busy ogling Haute Couture front row attendees, there was a lot (obviously) going on on the runway. French for ‘high sewing’, Haute [...]

i can understand someone wanting to mimic a style worth revamping but we need to give credit where credit is due. At least Lady Gaga has expressed that grace jones has influence her to revamp her creativity. its a form of flattery. as an artist i most definetly take from DALI. but i make it known.

just horrible. I can’t stand when a person copies a person too much. yeah amber looks interesting but she is far from grace jones. the little that makes her interesting is all from grace, and thats just, ick. get yo own shit
