First of all, I’m concerned about the leggings and tunic top on the lady behind Amber, but she’s on her own. Let’s talk about Amber. Which I always say in my head with a Boston Rob accent — AMBAAAAAH — despite the fact that Amber Riley here has never been on Survivor.
I am not crazy about the hair — I think she looks cuter when her bangs are more sideswept — but I do love the dress. Which is, I’m sure, no surprise to anyone who’s ever read this blog. I love me a sequined metallic gown, like, A LOT. In this case, though, I also have to give her props for wearing a dress that fits her perfectly (take note, Elisabeth Moss), and is totally right for her bod. I also dig the belt — it kind of looks like film stock from afar, but it doesn’t actually go the extra miles to BE film stock, which would be too on-the-nose (and also uncomfortable, and random). Maybe she could give some impromptu lessons?

One gorgeous girl in one gorgeous dress = WIN. LOVE.
I came to say exactly what Rayna said. Basically: mega babe in a mega dress. Amaze!
She is so gorgeous and even more so in this dress. I feel that the writting her her in Glee has been terrible, the whole “tots” thing was just dreadful and I really love her in Glee which was sad
I didn’t like her new fringe at first but I noticed it doesn’t age her like the bangs did Lea, Amber somehow remains youthful and fresh.
Love her, love the dress!
Someone’s stylist needs a raise. She looks gorgeous.
I, too, would’ve preferred a side swept bang or maybe an updo. But she looks fabulous and is one of my favorite Glee characters. I really wish they’d give her a line that wasn’t about food or Jesus.
Love it, want it, need it.
How cute is she in that…Love it!
Considering all those stick-thin celebs who looked like shite at the GGs, it’s amazing that she being over-weight ( but still in a quite attractive way) managed to dress herself and wrangle (no easy feat, I tell ya) her luscious boobies well. She looks great and the whole effect is very flattering and slimming. She should give fashion tips to La Hendricks.
Also hated the whole tater tots thing. Also only known her as Mercedes so far, I always thought amber riley was some random white girl whenever the credits flashed.
Perfection. Great fit, great color, attention-getting in all the right ways. When we get the “best dressed” poll for this year’s GGs, Amber has my vote.
So totally agree with above, espec Willow. Glee could do so much better for her character!!!
It’s a big ole love fest! Amber looks gorgeous, happy and she is owning it! Good for you Amber.
She looks great but I’m really getting tired of the one arm bare dresses. It is DONE, imo.
hooray for a properly placed belt / cinching ribbon …. the ration of boob to waist to hip and just where they chose to put the ribbon are hourglass perfection on her
^ ack … the ratio …. not the ration ^
awesomeness!
LOVE HER and love her look, for me, definitely the best dressed of the night. love the bangs, on her they look fresh and young. the dress is perfectly styled and she’s standing up straight and smiling, without posing so hard you worry she’ll break a hip.
This dress is gorgeous and Amber is gorgeous. WIN! Probably one of my favorite looks of the whole night.
She looks impeccable. I love the fabric, with the hints of red within the bling.
AMBER ALERT! This woman (and her stylist) is on fiyah!! LOVE x 912873926739128 for this dress!!
She looks fantastic. Though looking at her reminds me how much I loathe Glee and hope that she eventually gets better work.
You know, I am loving this trend of “plus size” women (Queen Latifa comes to mind) rocking the shit out of their dresses. This is not the first “well played” Amber has achieved. It speaks well to the fact that you don’t have to be shaped like a stick to look /good/.
Well played indeed.
VA-VA-VA-VOOM!!!!!!
She is fantastic and her confidence is the best accessory I have seen in a long time.
gorgeous. absolutely gorgeous. its obvious that she feels like a million bucks in the dress!
my only critique is the bangs. i am hating the bang trend right now. last year it was fresh, this year its stale.
I can barely see Amber for the woman behind her in the shift and leggings and hidgeous shoes.
