    Who Wore it Better? Brandy vs. Amber Rose in Alexander Wang’s Engineered Variegated Striped Dress

    by Claire

    Amber Rose recently made an appearance with fiancé Wiz Khalifa, wearing the same Alexander Wang Engineered Variegated Striped Dress Brandy wore a few months back:

    While Brandy opted for matchy matchy, coordinating the $650 long sleeved version with blue and white Balenciaga shoes, it looks like Amber Rose chose the $539 sleeveless version, balancing the look with an acid splashed denim jacket, white statement necklace, white sunnies, and pointy yellow Christian Louboutin pumps.
    The cobalt and gray variegated knit dress features a body con fit, crew neck, electric blue stripe pattern, and contrast grey side panels with a neon hem trim.

    This is a tough one. Both ladies are doing a lot, in their own ways, from Brandy matching so perfectly to Amber piling on the accessories. I personally tend to go for simplicity, so Brandy would get my vote.
    What do you think?

      No to both. Amber always makes everything look cheap and Brandy was too matchy matchy with those shoes.

      Love Ambers shoes, but hate the jacket and necklace. Love the hair/makeup on brandy but hate the shoes and purse.

      Ehhh. I’m going to pick neither as well.

      Simplicity is boring and common. Amber killed it while Brandy clearly gave her stylist a day off

      I don’t like Brandy’s matchy match look, but I would prefer it over Amber Rose’s soulful spin on it.

      Amber. Brandy is too matchy. It’s uninteresting.

      If only Amber didn’t add the chunky necklace and washed denim jacket, its all a bit excessive. Maybe if amber kept the shoes and threw away all the other accessories, including the jacket, then she would have worn the outfit better. The dress is actually something amber would wear. she just didnt wear it right here.

      I’d have to give it to Brandy. Amber’s necklace is cute, but it didn’t go with this look and the random denim jacket… No ma’am.

      Brandy all day. I know its a form fitting dress but Amber’s dress is too small as always and Wiz Khalifa on her arm just did me in smh

      I tend to go for quirky pairings when I dress so Amber Rose gets my vote. I love the shoes especially! Brandy looked great as well though.

      Definitely Brandy. Amber has too much going on (although the necklace is lovely). Plus, Brandy’s is a better fit/style.

      While I would personally wear it simple like Brandy (minus the shoes) because I’m not a risk taker, I appreciate Amber’s look more.

      Brandy.
      I don’t know when or why matching became an issue.
      Amber, per usual, is doing the most in the worst way.

      If I had to choose, I would pick Brandy because Amber did not look good in that dress… But I chose neither cause they oth could have done better at accerising.

      Amber Rose and Brandy have 2 different body types and these dresses are cut differently. They should have switched styles then Amber wouldn’t be busting out and Brandy could show off her tiny frame. Amber Rose wins on account of endless SWAG

      Amber has a great body and is in no way fat, but this dress makes her look huge and not in a good way.

      I like Brandy’s version better, but neither lady did the dress justice. FAIL on both parts

      I wish Brandy would have picked a different shoe. And I’m not feeling Amber’s get up, I love her but I’d love to see her wear something that’s not skin-tight and revealing every once in a while!

      I voted for Brandy. I felt Amber made the dress look cheap.

      @yusufswife- i’ve always said the same thing about brandy, lmao.

      as for the dress, sorry but neither. i don’t like the way either of them accessorized it. brandy’s shoes were way too matchy, and everything amber wore with the dress was random as hell.

      I wonder what happened to amber dressing down and not wearing skin tight stuff there was a time when she was running around looking like a nun, but i think he curves will forever make something “look cheap” as most are saying not to say that curves look cheap because lord knows i’m no stick, but I think that brandy fills her out well, personally i dont like the shoes Brandy has one, but I do like the outfit that Amber put together, the jean jacket and the neon shoes looks great to me and the thing about amber is that we wears a big does of confidence whether she is dressed like this, or a nun.

      Amber doesn’t have on a dress tho -___-
      She posted the outfit on twitter the other day and it’s actually a bandeau top with a skirt…. Like lola_uk said.

      Brandy wore it well too but Amber just set it off. It’s her confidence and her style all together. Brandy looks like someone could have dressed her, Amber looks like she got the dress.. put it together and stepped out. She may be a little unconventional but.. that’s fashion. It’s breaking comfort zones and creating your own style. She does it well. Amber wins this one.
