Amber Rose's 12 Most Statement-Making Outfits
There's nothing more powerful than making a bold statement on the most public platform that exists. Amber Rose wore a jumpsuit decorated with sexist slurs to the 2015 VMAs, and redefined what a statement outfit really is. Words like "bitch,” “hoe,” “gold digger,” and “slut” were some of the terms stitched across the hip-hop artist and crew's ensembles — all hurtful names that they have been called on social media. Rose has been known to make bold choices on the red carpet, but this could be her most powerful.
Wing woman Blac Chyna wore the pattern on a low cut, floor-length gown, posing with Rose for the cameras. Both ensembles were designed and hand-painted by Brittany DeShields and Iris Barbee Bonner of These Pink Lips. If there is anything I have learned from the '90s epic feel-good movies, its that to make an impact, you have to go to extremes (thanks Melissa Joan Hart), and if anyone is willing to go to said extremes, it’s Amber Rose.
According to Yahoo Style, Chyna told Kelly Osbourne on the VMAs red carpet why they chose the looks. “We’re basically wanting to just paint a picture of what people say about us already. We’re just trying to embrace it," Chyna said.
Adorning their outfits with the slurs proved that what the haters say is truly insignificant to the lovely ladies. The looks seem to say, "So you think this is what you think we are? Sure, think what you want. It doesn't matter to us — we know who we are and we're fabulous anyway." Gotta love it.
By wearing these bold outfits on the red carpet, Rose and Chyna brought attention to the cause, and ignited a necessary conversation.
